In my heart, dreams are crystal balls in fairy tales, shining with dazzling and mysterious light. In my heart, dreams are the light leaping on the strings, playing a pleasant and sad song. In my heart, dreams are full of tears, just like the sparse flashes of lights at midnight.

In my heart, dreams are the crystal balls in fairy tales, shining with dazzling and mysterious light. In my heart, dreams are the light leaping on the strings, playing a pleasant and sad song. In my heart, dreams are full of tears, just like the sparse flashes of lights at midnight. In my heart, dreams are flowers in the mirror, just like the first grass bundle floating on the river in early spring.

For 29-year-old Wang Yanrong, if there is a sound that can reach the bottom of her heart, it must be a Haimen Mountain Song.

, the hometown art that accompanied her complete childhood, is the eternal "white moonlight" in her heart, but it is facing the impact of the times.

Wang Yanrong has been sensible since she learned from her mother that her great-grandmother was once a folk song. In an era when she faced the loess and was facing the sky, she sang passionate mountain songs into the hearts of the working people on the haystacks; under the influence, Wang Yanrong's grandmother inherited her mantle, was obsessed with mountain opera performances, and shined on the stage. Mother Song Weixiang continues the mountain song genes in the blood of the elders, devotes himself to studying Haimen mountain songs with passion, and becomes a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor and a national first-class actor. He also makes important contributions to the inheritance and development of Haimen mountain songs in the new era and the expansion of its popularity across the country.

Now, Wang Yanrong, as the municipal inheritor of Haimen Mountain Song Nantong , chose to shoulder the important task of inheriting and developing Haimen Mountain Song with her mother, and injecting youth strength into further polishing the cultural business card of Haimen Mountain Song.

Since childhood, Wang Yanrong has followed her mother and took a big truck to the countryside. There are often children as old as her in the car, who follow her parents who sing folk songs. "Sir, we're playing behind the scenes." Through a thin layer of curtains, Wang Yanrong pricked up her ears and listened to the folk songs while playing and playing with her friends.

When Wang Yanrong passed through the audience area, she saw the grandparents sitting on the bench. They were so fascinated that the wrinkles on their faces were squeezed together and the fan in their hands forgot to sniff.

These childhood scenes happen naturally like water flow, but now I think about it, but it is unreplicable and extremely precious.

Wang Yanrong said that once her mother stood on the stage, she became a "spotlight". "Mountain operas need not only to be sung, but also to be performed." Song Weixiang's performance always makes Wang Yanrong entertain the show. "Once I remembered that my mother played a singer. When I saw the scene where the nightclub sent someone to pull her away, I cried and shouted, "Mom, don't leave! Don't leave!" Wang Yanrong laughed at herself with this incident, and her mother's concentration on 's mountain song also penetrated into Wang Yanrong's young heart in an unconscious way.

The old photos accidentally found reminded Wang Yanrong that her talent was revealed as a child. As long as she listened to it a few times, she could almost hum it completely. Wang Yanrong in the photo of

was wearing a flower costume with two pigtails on her head, standing in the center of the stage where "Singing Mountain Songs" was performed, completing her debut in her life. Maybe because of her cute look or her loud voice, the older judges and audiences in the audience showed an extremely kind look on their faces.

In that competition, Wang Yanrong left a deep impression on the judges. Song Weixiang knew her daughter's voice was outstanding, but perhaps because she was too hard to be an actor, she never thought about cultivating her daughter to be a successor. Singing folk songs is her daughter’s extracurricular entertainment, and she has always agreed with this model.

Until one day after Wang Yanrong entered junior high school, this state was unexpectedly changed.

One night, Wang Yanrong saw that her mother was worried, so she asked with concern, "Mom, I heard that there was a provincial folk song competition. The age-appropriate students in the group could not meet the level of participation. It was a pity. I asked my mother what song she sang, and she said it was "Little Sister Loves the Rocking Boatman". I just said that she sang like this, so she hummed it casually."A few short lines of folk songs completely exceeded Song Weixiang's expectations: her daughter had never received training, but from singing to interpretation, her daughter is undoubtedly a rare good seedling.

Song Weixiang made a bold decision - to train her daughter to participate in the competition in a short period of time. The provincial competition is not difficult, and Wang Yanrong's performance once again surprised Song Weixiang: she actually won a good ranking.

Since then, Wang Yanrong has discovered the changes in her mother, "She began to consciously teach me that learning to sing folk songs has become more rigorous. "

As we grow older, Wang Yanrong's academic burden is also increasing. Based on this consideration, Song Weixiang did not regard mountain song training as a daily compulsory course for her daughter, but she often urged her daughter.

More than a few years later, Wang Yanrong successfully got into college, with her major in music education, and bel canto entered her study career. The attractiveness of bel canto is no less than that of Haimen mountain songs, but the two are far apart in style and situation. "The singing style is different, I don't think I can take into account both. "

As the daughter of the inheritor of the Haimen Mountain Song of the national intangible cultural heritage project, the comparison and doubts from the outside world have also scared her. "People naturally examine me with my mother's level and achievements. "In Wang Yanrong's opinion, the halo of her mother is too big, and she has not yet grown up, and she may not be able to surpass her in her life.

So, the rebellion of adolescence began, "Mom signed me up for a folk song competition. Although I didn't refuse, I was reluctant. "The differences between mother and daughter gradually emerged, and the mother's blind insistence made it difficult for Wang Yanrong to understand. At that time, she did not plan to sing folk songs into her future.

This stalemate for a year, and a turning point appeared.

Song Weixiang was busy with affairs and couldn't get any time, Wang Yanrong took her to participate in charity lectures on the mountain songs or other offline activities. "I can't sing my mother, but it's still okay to talk. "Wang Yanrong went happily.

Most of the people who attended the folk song lecture were older generations. An old lady held Wang Yanrong's hand and did not let go for a long time. "She has known her mother for a long time and is also a fan of the folk song. "The old lady's palms and eyes were very moist, just like her love for Haimen Mountain Songs, warm and long.

From the old lady's mouth, Wang Yanrong heard her mother's experience of giving all her experiences for the mountain songs, and then she suddenly realized that she knew very little about her mother's mountain song career. The scenes of her mother running around were screened in her mind. She suddenly understood that her mother's persistence was not only love, but also living up to the trust and instructions of the masses.

Past events come to my heart. On the disc I used to spend my time in my childhood, my mother's performance always makes her applaud. On the eve of the provincial competition, she learned that she could sing a mountain song. The vibration and joy in her mother's pupils are still unforgettable.

I remembered the freshman performance meeting again. She and her mother took the stage together and sang a Haimen mountain song. Students from all over the world felt the charm of Haimen mountain songs up close. This is her first time She felt that the tentacles of the local culture in my hometown were stretching outwards, and as the interpreter, she seemed to play a role in this process, which made her proud.

Thinking of this, Wang Yanrong's scale became more and more biased, and finally turned to Haimen Mountain Song.

After graduating from university, Wang Yanrong became a famous kindergarten teacher. She brought mountain song teaching into the classroom, and participated in The program she created and created also appeared on the stage of "Summer of the Seamen". Her love for folk songs is no less than that of her mother. After the performance, she likes to take out the recorded folk songs and watch and listen repeatedly, like a toy that a child can't put down. No matter how he looks and listens, he is not tired of it.

"One day, in the elevator in Longxin Square, I heard a child singing the folk songs I created, which was very happy and felt very valuable."Wang Yanrong seemed to see that the traditional art form of mountain songs is regaining its brilliance in the new generation.

In 2020, Wang Yanrong entered the Nantong Cultural Center Artist Society and had the opportunity to discuss and discuss with local drama actors from all over the country. This is undoubtedly a great help in promoting the inheritance and development of Haimen mountain songs.

At that time, Wang Yanrong's feelings about the mountain song were only "good" and now, she cherished it more and felt responsibility. In the first show of childhood, the kind expressions of the elders made her remember it. Now, she interpreted that kind of gaze as "comfort". "The inheritance of local culture between generations is the continuation of its vitality. I hope that the Haimen people in the new era can introduce our own mountain songs to others confidently and endlessly in the future. "Wang Yanrong said.

local, but first of all, it must be universal and life-oriented, not to put it aside.

Wang Yanrong plans to promote the nationalization of Haimen mountain songs in various aspects through school inheritance and social inheritance. "For example, the school has formed a mountain song club, innovated the format of mountain songs and arranged performances, and integrated mountain songs into musical forms that are popular in the new generation, such as ancient style songs, pop songs, folk songs, etc.; widely carried out public lectures on mountain songs; paving the way for the inheritance and development of mountain songs through academic theoretical research, etc. "She said that local culture comes from the lives of the people, so when you go back to the crowd, you can rejuvenate. The footprints of traditional culture are engraved in the vast land of rivers and seas. We stand on the land cultivated by our ancestors, have a sharper gaze than our predecessors, and we should learn to listen more and inherit the precious spiritual wealth left by our predecessors.
