A song of singing on a blind date.
In my impression, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi are two customs and two customs, such as grassland pastoral, horse racing wrestling, bonfire singing and dancing, Ma Touqin Manhan tune, milk tea and hand-made meat ... The annual Nadam Conference doubles the Mongolian customs and leaves an unforgettable impression.
Recently, the United Front Work Department of the Municipal Party Committee organized scholars of literature and history and experts from the Great Wall to visit Inner Mongolia. A local cadre of the United Front Work Department said excitedly: I feel particularly cordial when my hometown comes. He said that Shanxi and Mongolia are connected by mountains and rivers, with similar accents, customs and humanities, and many places are the same.
A word suddenly brought the feelings of the two places closer.
Between Shanxi and Mongolia, mountains and rivers are connected, contacts are constant, and they are like a family. Especially the villages and towns along the Great Wall, from temple fairs to fairs, from festivals to singing operas, are very lively. Whenever the fort is booming, relatives outside the mouth will come. For a time, relatives and friends are full of laughter and excitement.
"Chickens and dogs have heard of two provinces, and Jinmeng is a good neighbor. Da Mama is the father, and there is full of Chinese feelings inside and outside the wall. " This seven-character jingle is a true portrayal of the villagers who have lived in Shanxi and Mongolia provinces (regions), Mongolian and Han people's villages inside and outside the Great Wall for a long time.

Ordos, which sounds like Inner Mongolia, is actually a big ethnic family. Most of the temples in Ordos are dedicated to bodhisattvas and dragon kings, which fully proves the integration of Mongolian and Chinese cultures. The Han people accepted yogurt, fried rice and braised pork, while the Mongols liked sour porridge, oil cake and bean noodles. The Han people offered sacrifices to stoves on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, while the Mongols changed the traditional fire offering to stoves and changed the time to the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
Baotou is a typical immigrant city. A high proportion of Shanxi immigrants brought Jin culture to the central and western Inner Mongolia, which greatly changed the social and economic structure and lifestyle of this area. Jin culture and local nomadic culture merged to form a unique multi-immigrant culture.
Walking into the Baotou Museum, I feel particularly cordial and surprised, because the customs of the year, festivals, weddings and funerals displayed here are the same as those in northern Shanxi, and almost no customs of the grassland people can be seen. For example, the marriage customs are exactly the same as those in northern Shanxi, such as blind date, engagement, tea, marriage, worship of heaven and earth, and returning to the door. From the aspects of tomb forms and tomb murals, the burial customs are similar to those of the Han nationality.

Art is a reflection of social life. The folk art and intangible culture in many places in Inner Mongolia are also very similar to those in northern Shanxi, especially in Datong, such as sugar blowers, foreign films, social fire performances, nine-song Yellow River lantern arrays, and even folk games. I thought sitting cavity was a unique folk art in Datong, but I saw it also existed in Baotou area.
Shanxi Opera is a local opera produced in the hot land of Shanxi. With the footsteps of Shanxi merchants entering the grassland, under the nourishment of the thick soil of Inner Mongolia Plateau, the performance form gradually blends into the local customs, and widely draws lessons from Beijing Opera, Hebei Bangzi, etc., combining with modern scenes, it has formed a high-pitched and passionate drama with distinctive characteristics, which is deeply loved by the people. More interestingly, there was an unwritten folk rule in those days, and Shanxi opera was considered a good play when it was sung on the stage in Inner Mongolia. Actors of Shanxi Opera sing the red side on the stage in Inner Mongolia.
Originally thought, "Manhan Tune" is a characteristic art in Inner Mongolia. Friends who know music say that Manhan Tune is essentially a Mongolian-Chinese tune, with Mongolian folk songs as the mother song and the flavor of Shanxi-Shaanxi folk songs. The two are integrated into one, and you have me and I have you, which are in harmony.

"Errentai" is a traditional drama created by folk artists, which has been circulating for nearly 200 years in northern Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, central and western Inner Mongolia and Zhangjiakou, Hebei. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, merchants and people from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei and other places "went west" to the western part of Inner Mongolia, and their hometown music culture was integrated with the local Mongolian music culture, gradually forming a duet. Folk songs in northern Shanxi also entered the hinterland of Inner Mongolia with the people who traveled to the west, and gradually changed from folk songs to operas. The aria of "Errentai" is adapted from Shanxi folk song of the same name, and the musical elements of Shanxi folk songs are also integrated with Mongolian music elements.
"Walking to the West" tells the story of people who lived in the barren areas of the Loess Plateau in the past, leaving their homes and going out of the West (now killing the tiger's mouth) to make a living in Inner Mongolia. The content of "Walking to the West" in different places is similar, but the tunes are quite different. "Walking to the West" in Shanxi minor, with its tearful string timbre and delicate polyphonic parts, vividly shows a pair of lovers' parting feelings, including lingering whispers and heartbroken where will you go.

On Xikou Road, there are not only mournful cries, but also sonorous footsteps. From generation to generation, Shanxi merchants have gone through all kinds of hardships and hardships to get out of the brilliant road of life and bring great changes to the local area. "First came the Fu Sheng Gong, then the Baotou City", which was built and flourished in the hands of many Shanxi businessmen such as Qiao Guifa. "One Dashengkui, half Guihua City". Dashengkui was the largest firm in Guihua City (Hohhot) at that time. It was first set up at the important pass of the west exit to kill the tiger. It was founded by Wang Xiangqing of Wujiabao, Taigu County, Jason, a wife of Qi County, and Shihu University in Qicheng Village, and then moved to Guihua City. "Hohhot is a city of integration composed of many ethnic groups. At that time, most of the citizens came to Hohhot from the west during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they were immigrants engaged in handicrafts, catering, fur and livestock, and grain and medicine industries, leaving a saying of "calling the city, camel city and trading city". It can be said that Jin culture is the root of Hohhot, and Da 'nan Street and Dabei Street are the soul of Hohhot. " A local folklore expert who has studied the old city of Hohhot said so.

The beauty of Qin Jin is that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin and the State of Qin formed an alliance through political marriage. In contrast, the friendship between Jin and Mongolia became a broader, deeper and stronger national relationship. After a long period of mixed living, intermarriage and social interaction, the Mongolian and Han nationalities have shown the characteristics of two-way absorption of culture, constantly remolding each other in language, diet, clothing, architecture, living customs, religious beliefs and other aspects, and the degree of national emotion and integration has further deepened.
Walking to the west has stepped out of the road of ethnic integration, and generations of Shanxi merchants have also stepped out of the "China-Mongolia-Russia Wanli Tea Ceremony" across Eurasia. Hohhot, Baotou and Datong are all important nodes and freight hubs on the "China-Mongolia-Russia Wanli Tea Ceremony", and they are the only places for foreign trade of Mongolian businessmen. Up to now, a large number of historical cities, towns and villages have been preserved in the three cities and along the "Wanli Tea Ceremony", and the main bodies of ancient trade routes and related facilities (halls, bridges, business houses, religious and civil buildings, etc.) that show economic and trade, folk customs and migration and exchange activities of different ethnic groups. "South to tobacco, alcohol, sugar, cloth and tea, north to cattle, sheep, camels and horses". Wanli Tea Ceremony mainly transports tea, and also runs various daily groceries such as fur, satin cloth, salt and iron, porcelain, etc. A large number of handicraft products from the Central Plains are continuously imported into Inner Mongolia. Clothing decoration, musical instruments, competitive products, jade lacquerware, medicine and health products are splendid, commodity exchange is extremely active, and cultural exchanges between ethnic groups are more smooth. This ancient international passage runs through China, Mongolia and Russia, and spans the Eurasian continent. It has flourished for two and a half centuries and has written a rich and colorful stroke in the history of human development.

Ethnic communication is an irresistible historical trend, and war is an extreme way of ethnic communication and a catalyst for ethnic integration. Shanxi and Mongolia are located along the Great Wall, which is the junction of the farming people in the Central Plains and the nomadic people in the grasslands. Historically, ethnic groups such as Beidi, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Uighur, Khitan, Nuzhen and Mongolia have thrived and interacted in this area, leaving behind a large number of ancient city sites, ancient tombs, ancient buildings, gold and silver vessels, bronzes, inscriptions, rock paintings, sculptures and ceramics with national characteristics, involving politics, economy, military affairs and so on. Of course, ethnic groups are constantly colliding, and wars, large and small, reflect ethnic relations in a specific period. The relationship between Ming and Mongolia was a turning point in Longqing peace talks. Before that, the relationship between the two countries was tense, with constant friction and conflict. Since then, 11 horse markets, such as Shengdebao, have taken the lead in opening the market, and finally formed a situation that "the nine borders are teeming with teeth, the garrison is solid, the fields are opened day by day, the merchants are connected day by day, and the border people know the joy of life", which has deepened the relationship between Mongolian and Chinese nationalities in the national trade by means of "communication" and "mutual exchange".

War is a double-edged sword, which does great harm to both sides. In order to avoid this kind of harm, pro-culture came into being. The pro-democracy policy was put forward by a minister named Lou Jing during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. During the Han and Yuan Dynasties, Wang Zhaojun, as a messenger of peace, married Mobei Grassland far away, leaving a historical story of Zhao Jun leaving the fortress. After Zhaojun left the fortress, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu regime maintained a peaceful situation for half a century, and ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era of "the border town was closed and the cattle and horses were wild". Dong Biwu once wrote the poem "Visiting the Tomb of Zhaojun": "Zhaojun has his own future, and Hu Han and his relatives know each other." From a historical perspective, Wang Zhaojun's important contribution to national unity was praised. Now, in front of the Qing Tomb, there stands a poem tablet inscribed by Dong Biwu. In people's minds, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress has become a symbol of national unity, and Zhaojun's tomb has also become a memorial tower of national unity.

Yinshan is the screen, the Great Wall is like a belt, grassland civilization and Yellow River civilization complement each other here, and farming culture and nomadic culture are integrated here. Hu Fu's riding and shooting started the precedent of national mutual learning, and Zhaojun went out to play the overture of national reconciliation. The singing of mutual affection has been lingering since ancient times.
