The music piece "Picking Pearl Ballad" of the Jing ethnic group's solo qin is from the album "Listening to Guangxi Jing ethnic group's solo qin song music collection on the Chinese music map"

Ballad of Picking the Pearls

Folk music adaptation: He Shao Ethnic group: Jing region: Guangxi

Solo: Su Haizhen

At the beginning of the music, there is a relaxed and lively melody, with each note about to dance happily, like a group of beautiful girls wearing hats and flowing dresses, gracefully walking on the beach, chatting with friends and going to pick pearls together. Then, the melody changed, and the music rhythm went from calm to slow. The glides no longer jumped, but instead seemed to drag heavy footsteps, as if the pearl picking work was getting harder and harder on a hot and humid beach with the sun shining brightly. At the end, a lively melody appeared again, and everyone returned home with a full load. The joy of harvest had long forgotten the hard work of picking pearls.
