Tianshan shiwan gongting yue 田山十万宫廷乐 music from Luoyang, Henan, China

A video featuring brief excerpts of a performance of Tianshan shiwan gongting yue (田山十万宫廷乐, literally "Tianshan 100,000 palace music"), also known as Tianshan shiwan (田山十万, literally "Tianshan 100,000") or Wu Huang shiwan gongting yue (武皇十万宫廷乐, literally "Empress Wu 100,000 palace music"), a genre of traditional instrumental ensemble music from Tianshan Village (田山村), Longmen Subdistrict (龙门街道), Luolong District (洛龙区), Luoyang (洛阳市), western Henan province (河南省), central China, performed here with accompanying dance. This tradition is claimed to have been handed down from the time of Empress Wu Zetian (武则天, r. 690-705), who famously invested 100,000 taels into the court music and dance apparatus of her short-lived Zhou (周) Dynasty, which encompassed 900 performers in all, and performed for large-scale ceremonies, celebrations, sacrificial rituals, and congratulatory events, with Wu composing lyrics and music for, as well as, on occasion, personally directing these ensembles. Following her removal from power and death, it is said that many of Wu's court musicians were exiled from the palace at Shendu (神都, modern-day Luoyang), retreating to temples or filtering into nearby rural areas, with only the music (but not the dance) being retained. According to local history, during the Xuanhe period (1119-1125) of the Song Dynasty, an inhabitant of Tianshan Village named Bai Changle (白长乐), who was an 18th-generation descendant of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi, went to worship by burning incense at Fengxue Temple (风穴寺) in Ruzhou (汝州). Happening to hear the music played by the monks there, he became enamored with it and begged them to pass this art on to him. After three springs and autumns of study at the temple, Bai returned to the village and organized an ensemble to continue this music, leaving a valuable lineage of shiwan music to the Bai family of Tianshan Village. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ensemble's tradition was transferred from the Bai family of Tianshan Village to the Zhang family of Tianshan Village. In the years following the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the inhabitants of Tianshan Village continued to follow their older relatives or other experienced village musicians in listening and learning shiwan music via oral tradition, especially in the slack periods of the agricultural calendar. Although Tianshan shiwan gongting yue was suppressed during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), it was revived in 1982, and its repertoire comprises 18 pieces in total, which are preserved in the form of scores in gongche notation (Chinese: gongche pu, 工尺谱). In 2007, Tianshan shiwan was added to the First Batch of the Luoyang Municipal-Level Intangible Cultural Heritage List (第一批洛阳市市级非物质文化遗产名录). At present, the Tianshan shiwan gongting yue ensemble comprises 23 members, all of whom are middle-aged or elderly, with the average age of the members being 70 years old. In 2009, several young apprentice musicians were trained, but they all left the area to seek work, abandoning the ensemble; the ensemble was nevertheless able to expand its membership by recruiting several interested retirees from across the district. The most important exponent of this tradition is Mr. Zhang Maicang (张麦仓, born c. 1948), who, in November 2021, was recommended to receive the status of Province-Level Representative Inheritor/Transmitter of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
