In the traditional culture of She nationality, folk songs, as the most important oral literature of She nationality, play an important role. Her family called folk songs "songs" and "songs" have been an indispensable part of her life since ancient times. In terms of melody, the Luoyuan She folk songs in Jingning are centered on the local area, which combines the tunes of Lianjiang, Jin 'an and the southwest of Ningde City, forming the "Luolian Tune", one of the three major tunes of the She people in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Its characteristic is that the tune is closely combined with the lyrics, and the starting tone of each song is determined according to the pronunciation tone of the initial word of each lyric, so people will naturally adjust the score when singing. In the process of singing, each paragraph often changes its range and melody within the same mode tonality (pentatonic mode with wandering angle).

The basic tone sequence is "do, re, mi, sol, la" and the basic melody sequence is "sol, mi, re, do". There are more 23-degree jumps and 4-degree jumps, some octaves, less 5-degree jumps, and more decorative sounds are leaning forward. The speed of songs is generally stable and the style is simple and fresh.

Step 2 dance

Because of the large dispersion, the She nationality did not form its own economic market, so it did not form its own characters, only its own language, so its production skills and culture and art were basically in a state of example from generation to generation before liberation. She nationality is also a nation that can sing and dance well. Singing is more popular than dancing, which is mainly included in sacrificial activities.

After liberation, with the help of Han writers and artists, a number of songs and dances were arranged and a number of new songs and dances were created that could be performed on the stage.

In the old society, the dance of She nationality was mainly included in sacrificial activities. Therefore, some literary and art researchers say that there was no dance of She nationality in the past, but in fact, the dance in sacrificial activities is also a folk dance. It can be said that "Learning from the Teacher" is a large-scale musical drama that has been circulated by the She nationality for more than 700 years. During the period of 1987, when Zhejiang province was integrating folk dances, two She dances, namely "learning from others" and "making contributions", were included in the "Zhejiang Volume of Integrating Chinese Folk Dances".

3. Architecture

Because she lives in a mountainous area and the traffic is inconvenient, the traditional building materials of the She nationality do not use shell ash, but use local materials, soak them in yellow mud, and then let the cows trample them for many times to make adobe. In order to enhance the strength of adobe, clever She compatriots added straw to the soil for traction.

This building material can be made from local materials, which greatly saves the cost. Such a wall made of yellow mud brick, although there is no batch file inside and outside (a wall protective layer made of mortar), can be used for generations as long as it is not soaked in water directly or for a long time.

The roof is covered with locally made tiles to keep out the rain. Only when paving earth tiles, there is no shell ash bonding between tiles, but the big tile is used as the male tile groove and the small tile is used as the female tile lining, so that the cracks that may leak rain can be closed, which is commonly known as the "yin-yang cover".

Protection and Inheritance of She Culture and Art

The first local substantive law, the Regulations on the Protection of She Culture in Ningde City, which was formulated by Ningde City of Fujian Province after obtaining local legislative power, came into effect in July 1 year. Legislation to protect She culture has opened a new chapter in the protection and development of She culture in Ningde.

Ningde is the largest inhabited area of She nationality in China, with a population of 1.89 million, accounting for about half of the total population of She nationality in Fujian and a quarter of the total population of She nationality in China. In the process of long-term historical activities, the She people have created splendid She culture, which mainly includes She language, costumes, literature and art, folk beliefs and so on.

The regulations implemented this time were deliberated and adopted by the 29th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress of Fujian Province on May 25th this year, which consists of four chapters and 28 articles, including general provisions, protective measures, legal responsibilities and supplementary provisions. According to the official, the regulations have strengthened the protection, inheritance and development of She culture from the legislative level, promoted the standardization, legalization and scientificity of the protection of She culture in Ningde City, and further promoted national unity and progress.

According to local folklore experts, the cultural heritage of She nationality has unique historical, artistic and scientific values and national characteristics, and is an important part of the cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation.

However, with the continuous expansion of economic and social exchanges, the traditional culture of She nationality, which mainly depends on oral and behavioral inheritance, has been greatly impacted, and many traditional customs and etiquette of She nationality are gradually dying out. It is difficult to properly protect a large number of representative objects and materials of She nationality culture, and the traditional skills of She nationality are in danger of being lost.

The regulations stipulate that special funds for the protection of She culture in Ningde City should be set up and included in the fiscal budget at the corresponding level. The special funds are intended to be used for the protection of major She cultural projects, the rescue and protection of endangered She traditional culture, the representative projects and inheritors' subsidies of She intangible cultural heritage, and the development of She cultural industry.

At the same time, compile a list of cultural protection projects of She nationality, including cultural relics of She nationality and representative intangible cultural heritage of She nationality; Encourage and support the development of traditional She folk festivals such as February 2nd, March 3rd and April 8th; Units and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the protection of She culture will be rewarded for accelerating the development of She cultural industry.
