<h1>The art of rap with a long history</h1>
In the spiritual and cultural life of the Mongolian people, the ancient folk art form of "rap art" has a long history. "The Secret History of Mongolia", the earliest surviving Mongolian "rhyme and scatter combination" of the ancient Qiwen, confirms the long history of the "rap" art of the Mongolian predecessors. In a long historical period, "rap art" records and carries the joys and sorrows of the Mongolian people's social life, and records and carries the glory and glory of the Mongolian people. Among the three major Chinese epics, Gesar, Jianger and Manas, Jianger is an epic unique to the Mongols. The Gesar, which is revered by the world, is a cultural heritage shared by tibetans and Mongolians. The Horqin steppe is the most concentrated area of Mongolians, which is the vast sea of Mongolian rap art. People call rap artists "Chao Erqi, Hurqi, Andhormu erqi". They sang the Chao'er rap Mongolian heroic epic "Python Gus Uligel", they held Hada in naadam, at the wedding, at the altar of Ao Bao, holding hada, milk wine to give a toast, singing praises, they went to the hut to say "Huren Urigel" and sang folk songs. As the most loyal disseminators of the ancient Mongolian culture and the leader of the Mongolian national spiritual culture, these folk artists pass on from father to son, from teacher to apprentice, from generation to generation to inherit and carry forward this national cultural treasure, so that the Horqin rap art is perfected day by day and gradually becomes a style. Among the many folk artists, the vast majority of "Huerqi" are veritable "professional" artists. They wandered the grasslands, made the four seas their home, said "Python", said "Three Kingdoms", sang narrative folk songs, and sang congratulatory words. According to the old man, from the beginning of the Republic of China to the founding of New China, every Gacha village in Horqin had one or several well-known or unknown "Huerqi". Among these many "Huerqi" who make a living from rap art, there are two "Huerqi" who are known to everyone in the grassland, and they are Pajie and Mao Yihan, who are known as the masters of Mongolian music.
<h1>Cradle of Urigel - Korqin Steppe</h1>
The art of Horqin rap is the most vibrant folk art that stands out. The Horqin steppe is the birthplace of the "Huren Urigel", the pinnacle of Mongolian rap art. The literal Chinese translation of "Huren Uligel" is the story sung with a huqin (bass four hu), also known as Mongolian storytelling. Folk rap originating from the Song and Yuan dynasties and the ancient cultural custom of "Python Gus Urigel" is to sing heroic epics. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Horqin steppe was delegated in large quantities, with the influx of Han people in "Guannei", folk arts such as commentary and drum books began to take root in The Mongolian settlements, and the intelligent Mongolian folk artists, while inheriting the strengths of mongolian rap art, creatively studied and absorbed some excellent performance techniques and performance programs of Han commentaries and drum books, and created a new genre of music - "Huren Uligel". In addition to rapping Mongolian epics, Hollywood and Mongolian folk tales and legends, "Huerqi" is more of a re-creation of traditional Han stories, commentaries and scripts. Traditional commentaries such as "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness" and "Xue Gang Anti-Tang" are interpreted by "Huerqi" to be both authentic and very "Mongolian flavor". In the more than one hundred years since the birth of "Huren Uliger", countless "Huqier" with exquisite art and different styles have emerged in the Horqin grassland. The vast majority of them "wear several positions", are both the creators of "Urigel" and rappers, both Hulqi who rap "Urigel" and "ChaoErqi" who rap "epic", who not only create and sing folk songs, but also make up and sing congratulatory words, Hollywood, and praises, and they are the real "protagonists" on the stage of Mongolian folk art.
<h1>Pa Jie and Mao Yihan are two landmark figures</h1>
Among the many rap artists, Pa Jie and Mao Yihan, who are known as the masters of Mongolian rap art, are two landmark figures. The outstanding contribution of the two masters lies in the inheritance of the past and the future, which ushered in the era of "Pajie and Maoyihan" in the history of Mongolian rap art. The Mongols are a heroic people. Heroic epics play a pivotal role in Mongolian oral literature. The Mongol epic "Jianger", known as a "peak" in the mountains of world history, is mainly circulated in Veyrat Mongolia and Kelmec Mongolia. Walking through Horqin, few people can sing "Jianger", and it is even rarer to see "Jiangerqi" who can fully rap "Jianger". The famous Mongolian scholar Renchen Dorky believes that "the epic poems of Zarut and Korqin, where the people practice semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural life, the works are almost all small and medium-sized narrative poems, which are not the product of early development, but the creation of singers in recent and late periods, in which ancient works are mixed with new narrative works". The author believes that the "ancient works mixed with new narrative works" referred to here is precisely the contribution of Mao Yihan, Pa Jie, and especially Pa Jie to Mongolian culture, and Pa Jie's life is a life full of creative passion, and he has officially embarked on the road of folk artists since he was 18 years old, like a persistent artistic "missionary". Never married, with Sihu as a companion, walking through more than 20 banners in eastern Inner Mongolia, this lone traveler in the process of selling art, extensive contact with folk artists from all over the world, truly experienced the rich connotation of Mongolian culture and colorful regional differences, touched the most primitive form of Mongolian culture and the most evocative place. For him to become a generation of Mongolian quyi masters to provide a rich "education" that is not found in books, Pajie's contribution to Mongolian epics is unparalleled. Throughout his life, he inherited and sang many heroic epics such as "Hero Gesar Khan", "Conquest of Python", "Huzhile Battelle" and so on. In particular, his singing of "Hero Gesar Khan" is a Mongolian folk culture classic that is different from the Tibetan "Gesar". Known by "epic" scholars as "Paje Gesar" and published in Chinese, English and other languages, he performed in "allegro form as an accompaniment or a cappella rhythmic prose, especially in the opening part of Xu Isa folk songs, calling him "a natural traditional way with the unique linguistic structure of folk singers".
As a "professional" folk artist, Pa Jie raps a large number of traditional "Urigel". Such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Romance of the Two Han Dynasties", "Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Water Margin" and so on. At the same time, with the sensitivity of an artist, he always pays attention to the sorrows and joys of ordinary people, and he takes "the singer of the people" as the highest state of his life, singing the songs of the masses of the people and the songs of the masses of the people. After hearing the tragic story of the true love of a young man named White Tiger and the beautiful girl Ruyima being broken up alive, he improvised and sang the famous folk song "Brother White Tiger". Most of his folk songs and Hollywood works are improvisational. Such as folk songs "Sanjay Tali Yaqi", "Sebu Jinga", Hollywood "Horse Zan", "Hometown Zan" and so on. Like Pa Jie, the famous Hulqi Mao Yihan is also a talented artist who "exports into chapters" and "sings at the sound of the piano", and compared with Pa Jie, Mao Yihan seems to be better at Hollywood's creation. During his lifetime, he composed and sang a large number of Hollywood and hymns, famous for "Hypocritical Society", "A Grain of Rice", "Vicious Flea", "Oden Taurig", "Song of the Four Seasons" and so on. Their works are very lifelike, popular contain elegance, simplicity and profoundness, full of Horqin Mongolian unique rhythmic beauty and unique style characteristics, can be called a model of Horqin style "rap art". It is precisely because of the exquisite art of Pa Jie and Mao Yihan that the art circles and academic circles at home and abroad have given special preference to Horqin's "rap art". At present, their works have been included in the university folk literature textbooks, and the state has also specially edited and published the "Selected Works of Pajie" and "Mao Yihan Haolaibao Selection". In the 1983 edition of the Encyclopedia of China, Pa Jie and Mao Yihan were included in the entry "Quyi Artists", and they were also the only two ethnic minority artists to be included in the book. In 1998, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles erected a monument in the hometown of the two masters, Zarut, to permanently commemorate the master's immortal contribution to the art of Horqin rapping and even the art of Chinese national rapping. After counting Pajie and Mao Yihan admiring Pajie and Mao Yihan, the author believes that the influence of the two masters on Mongolian culture far exceeds the cultural mission undertaken by a folk artist. The two masters are the image of the Horqin culture and the real teaching material. With their special feelings for national culture and their diligent pursuit of rap art, and with their expressive and creative artistic practice, Pa Jie and Mao Yihan have built a platform for the Horqin Mongols to have artistic dialogue with other ethnic groups, attracting the world's attention with their unique Horqin style and style.
"Python Gus Uligel", "Huren Uligel", "Hollywood", "Blessing" and the brilliant star-like Xu are folk songs that constitute the beautiful scenery of the "rap art" of the Horqin Grassland. Among these Horqin heirloom art treasures with different styles, if it is purely in terms of "rap" art, the Mongolian storytelling "Urigel" is undoubtedly the peak of Horqin rap art. The art form "Huren Uligel" is unique to eastern Inner Mongolia and is one of the most representative folk arts of the Horqin steppe. "Urigel" originated in the Qing Dynasty and flourished in the late Qing Dynasty, and reached its peak in the early years of the Republic of China to the founding of New China in the nearly one hundred years after the founding of New China. According to researchers, after the founding of the People's Republic of China to the early 1990s, there were hundreds of "full-time" artists active in the Horqin grassland. In addition to Pa Jie and Mao Yihan, famous artists also include the Chao Yu Gang (Chao Yu Gang), Wu Qianbao, Guniga, Dolji, Buren Bayar, Erton Zhurihe, Haibao, Shuangbao and so on. These artists have different styles, each has a "unique skill", many of them are illiterate, some are still blind, rap "Urigel" is completely dependent on others to read the "book", or learn to listen to the teacher's rap. Most artists do not know Chinese characters, but they have a good grasp of Chinese classics and interpret them with great ease, which is amazing. The people of the Horqin steppe are all too familiar with these famous artists. It is said that in the early 1980s, there was a joke that an old Mongolian man went to a store to buy a radio that "has Burenbayar and Chaganbala in it." Especially in the 1940s and 1950s, listening to "Urigel" can basically be said to be the whole of the cultural life of the Horqin people. Every winter, especially in the Spring Festival, whether the Horqin people are rich or poor, whether they have a good harvest or a poor harvest, they generally have to ask the storyteller "Hurqi" to tell the book. No matter whose house it is, the men, women and children of the village will invariably gather at the home of the person who invited "Hulqi" to listen to the weeping sorrow, sorrow, joy, joy, and "Urigel" that shakes people's hearts and lungs. What is particularly admirable is that even in the face of misfortune, the resolute and optimistic Horqin people cannot forget to ask "Hulqi" to tell the book. Ask the "Huerqi" family to respect "Huerqi" as a guest, in addition to good wine and good tea reception during the day, whenever the rap is sung until late at night, it is also necessary to put wine meat and white food "supper". A long "Urigel" often says a "Chagansa Day" (mongolian literal translation is the white moon or the first month). After rapping "Urigel", the host wants to send grain, cattle and horses, jewelry, etc. to thank "Hulqi". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the late 1970s and early 1990s, the popularity of radio brought great convenience to the Horqin people to listen to "Urigel". If you pass by any Mongolian village in the summer, every household must have doors and windows wide open, melodious four beards accompanied by the slightly hoarse rap of "Hurqi", and people who have worked for a day smoking dry cigarettes and brewing black tea are so intoxicating. In the Horqin steppe, you will have a hard time finding someone who does not like to hear "Urigel". Even if you work more and get tired, you can't mishear "Urigel". So much so that even the children's "games" follow the lyrics of "Hurqi's "General's Expedition" and "Fight", singing and playing.
<h1>Urigel's artistic status and heritage</h1>
"Huren Uligel" is the product of the traditional Mongolian culture and the Mongolian semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral culture. Its stirring melody, unique expression, wonderful and humorous language expression, condensed the spiritual and creative spirit of the Horqin people. Studying and appreciating "Urigel", we have found that when "Urigel" absorbs and draws on the han national music and art skills such as spitting out words, conveying gods, sounding, passing through the mouth, and criticizing lectures, it is not a simple "take-ism", but more of a living life that conforms to the aesthetic consciousness and appreciation habits of the chinese nation. More attention is paid to the plot rendering with beautiful musical melodies, such as hero carols, homesick praise horses, landscape close-ups, generals on the battlefield, confrontation between the two countries, military vehicles marching, Shangchao songbook, male and female love, etc. have different rhythmic performances. And a "Hurqi" style. It is not like a kind of tuning style from beginning to end, such as pingtan and Jingyun drum. No wonder cultural scholars say that listening to "Urigel" music is a pleasing and passionate artistic pleasure in itself. Among the hundreds of kinds of folk art in China, "Urigel" is a folk art form with originality and unique cultural taste that inherits the essence of the folk art of the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups, and its cultural taste and literary status are self-evident. The contribution of "Huren Uligar" to Mongolian culture is also that it is a sister art of "blood relations" of Horqin folk songs, and has played an unusual "birth" role in the production and prosperity of narrative folk songs. At the same time, "Urigel" has also derived the independent art form of "Hollyo", which has many forms such as Langhai Good Noble, Urige Good Noble Treasure, Dai ri Le Cha Good Noble Treasure, which greatly broadens the audience and expression of "Urigel". In recent years, the unique music of "Urigel" has also been widely used in music and dance creation, such as the dance music of "Vast Grassland" created by the famous dancer Ma Yue, which was adapted from the "Urigel" song. According to the composer of the song "Carved Saddle", the work was created by drawing on the beautiful melody of "Urigel". Artists also found that the "Urigel" song expressed in symphonic music has a different flavor. Thus, a unique symphonic music "Urigel Concerto" was born. It can be asserted that the development of the potential artistic value of "Urigel" is still only in a "primary" stage, and its cultural connotations and humanistic concepts still need to be explored at a deeper level. However, we firmly believe that as Chinese national art is gradually recognized and recognized by the world, the national "rap art" that carries the artistic pursuit and aesthetic taste of the people of the Horqin Grassland will surely glow with more brilliant cultural brilliance.
