The "Nine Songs" discussed in this paper does not refer to the "Nine Songs" written by Qu Yuan during the Warring States Period based on the music of the Chu folk offering sacrifices to the gods. It is the oldest and most mysterious music name recorded in ancient documents; It was born in the witchcraft cultural circle in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with strong witchcraft cultural color, and can be called the ancestor of "witchcraft" in Chu. It is closely related to Nanyin, Ernan and Xialiba people, and * * * belongs to the ancient music sequence in the south of the Yangtze River. "This song should only be in the sky. How many times can the world listen to it?" In the ancient legend of the Three Gorges area, the original "Nine Songs" came from the sky. According to the textual research of the famous historian Mr. Meng, "I think part of Wild Classics may be Ba's works." (5) The Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of Wild West recorded the magical legend of the origin of Nine Songs: "Beyond the Southwest Sea, south of Chishui and west of quicksand, there are people riding two green snakes and two dragons, named Xia Houqi. Starting from three days, we can get the following: nine debates and nine songs. On this day, the acre field was two kilometers high, and the opening song "Nine strokes" was won. " Jin Guo Pu's note: "It's all the joy and fame of God, and it's also used to steal the following. Qing Hao Yixing Shu: "Guy said that he was a guest in Heaven for the third time and got the pleasure of playing for nine times. "This legend has also been confirmed in Qu Yuan's works, but it has been simplified into a poem. Li Sao: Apocalypse of Nine Debates and Nine Songs; Tian Wen: Open business (the word "business" is mistaken for the word "emperor"), nine arguments, and ask heaven. Every time I read this, I often feel puzzled: why do legends in the Central Plains say that ancient music was created by ancestors, while ancient music in Bachu was stolen by the Emperor of Heaven? After studying The Classic of Mountains and Seas over the past few years, I realized that in the early period, only wizards could visit the Emperor of Heaven. There are only two possibilities: either Kay himself is a great wizard who is proficient in witchcraft, or he wrote down ancient music such as nine arguments, nine songs and nine tricks with the help of the wizard's psychic skills. Let's discuss further: Who composed the ancient music such as Jiuge? The so-called "Emperor of Heaven" does not exist at all. Unless it comes from an alien, there is only one possibility: it comes from a wizard and is taught to Xia Houqi in the name of "Heaven Emperor". From this point of view, the nine debates, nine songs and nine tricks that spread in the late Xia Dynasty are all worthy of the name "witchcraft" and can also be called the ancestor of "witchcraft". These ancient music are the products of primitive worship of human nature and animism, which are mainly used to worship the gods, that is, "making songs and having fun to enlighten the gods." The original nine arguments, nine songs and nine tricks have not been circulated, and it is difficult for us to see their true colors. We can only get a glimpse of them from Qu Yuan's nine songs based on folk sacrificial songs. Wang Yi's "Chu Sentence" says: "In the southern city of Chu between Yuan and Xiang in the past, people believed in ghosts and gods and loved shrines, and their shrines must make songs and music to revitalize the gods. Qu Yuan was exiled and fled to his territory. He was worried, worried and depressed, and saw the ceremony of offering sacrifices to lay people and the joy of singing and dancing. His words are humble and solid, such as the song of Nine Songs, showing respect for the gods and grievances against them. " It should be said that Wang Yi's conjecture is basically correct, and Qu Yuan's Nine Songs is based on the ancient music of offering sacrifices to the gods. But did he write it in exile? Is it only based on the customs between Yuan and Xiang and folk music offering sacrifices to gods? The author thinks it is debatable, although no one has raised any objection to it for two thousand years. First, it is difficult to determine from the content of Nine Songs that this is Qu Yuan's work when he was exiled, and there is no poem "I have seen my grievances, and I trust it with irony" throughout; Secondly, the works created by the writer are mainly the crystallization of his long-term life accumulation, and the influence of folk culture in his hometown can not be ignored. Zigui, Qu Yuan's hometown, is adjacent to Wushan and Wuxi. This is the birthplace of witchcraft culture in China, and its witchcraft style is even worse than Yuan Xiang. Therefore, "Nine Songs" is more likely to be set in the Three Gorges area. From the content and form of Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", it can be seen that the original "Nine Songs" is undoubtedly the music sung by wizards to worship the gods. Some scholars think that it is a "witch word" when praying for rain, which also helps us understand the original text of Nine Songs. The origin of China's music songs is closely related to witchcraft rituals. Among the original music songs, music that worships gods accounts for a considerable proportion. Even the music songs reflecting labor and love are all integrated into witchcraft activities to "entertain the gods", and several of Qu Yuan's nine songs are love songs. The author studied the traditional folk songs in the Three Gorges area and found that their contents can be summarized into two systems: divine songs and love songs. Love songs have the saying that "no lang, no sister and no song", but in the primitive period, they were integrated with worship songs and music. Later, with the evolution of civilization, it gradually divided. The original ecological music songs in the Three Gorges area have the characteristics of witchcraft and witchcraft style, and traces of witchcraft can still be seen in modern traditional folk songs. "Lu Chunqiu: The decline of Chu is also a witch sound." This is inevitably biased. On the other hand, why isn't the rise of Chu "like a witch's voice"?
