The Song of the Loess—Shaanbei Folk Song Museum

Stepping into the Shaanbei Folk Song Museum, the resonant and melodious tunes of Xintianyou immediately fill the air. This place preserves not just musical notes but also the soul and emotions of the loess land. The museum showcases the journey of folk songs from ancient times to the present, simple yet imbued with a rich rural essence. As I gaze at the old photographs and handwritten scores, I seem to see the figure of a shepherd on the loess plateau, singing loudly towards the horizon. Each melody carries the power of the wind and the warmth of the earth. Upon leaving the museum, the lingering echoes of those distant chants remind me of the resilience and romance of this land, a unique cultural pulse of Shaanbei.
