Liukou Tea is a famous folk song in Enshi, Hubei Province, which is the yearning of young men and women of Enshi indigenous Miao nationality for love and happy life.
One question and one answer, fragrant and mellow, like a lingering sound; Sweet but not greasy, like a lover's kiss; Refreshing and pleasing to the eye, like a string of songs. Years are leisurely, and there are thousands of customs; Wash drowsily, graceful and swaying. Tourists who come from afar, after drinking six mouthfuls of tea and enjoying tea, have become friends who have nothing to say. This "six-mouth tea" actually means "warm welcome, lasting friendship" in Tumiao mountain village, Hubei province.
With the passage of time, "Liukou Tea" has gone far beyond the scene of simply drinking tea water, and it has been integrated with customs and feelings, and has been sublimated. It shows the multiple realms of the indigenous Miao youth's pursuit of love and a better life and their life path.
The sentence of "Sister's 18th birthday this year" leaves endless room for imagination. It can be said that this is just like the fifth sentence in a five-sentence love song, and the last sentence of Liukoucha is also the core of the whole song, which has the effect of making the finishing point. Because at this point, it can be seen that my sister clearly has feelings for men, but she is embarrassed to say it directly, so she suggests that men boldly pursue love through a series of irrelevant and illogical words.
Therefore, although the lyrics of Liukou Tea seem to be inconsistent, this contradictory answer is exactly the sister's true psychological reaction, which shows the heroine's shyness and shyness, representing her reserve and expectation. This implicit style and implied affection can be described as subtle and vivid. Readers can see vivid hearts outside the slow tea rhyme as long as they carefully ponder this special love language.
The lyrics of Liukou Tea seem contradictory and unreasonable, but they are very reasonable. They well express the feeling of Tujia girls' budding hearts and the subtle and shy deities, accurately grasp the charm and implication of human nature, and are full of amorous feelings. After reading them, they vividly and artistically reproduce the love process of Tujia girls and boys. This may be the reason why it is sung among the mountains and rivers, and it is also the secret why it has become a classic folk song.
