蒙古族传统说唱艺术"好来宝"源远流长,蒙古语意为"连韵说唱"[1]。这一艺术形式大约形成于公元12世纪前后[1],已于2008年被列入第二批国家级非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录[1]。"好来宝"以多样化的表演形式呈现,包括单人叙事、双人对答、多人合唱伴舞等[1]。
60岁的国家级非物质文化遗产代表性传承人海青少布对这一传统艺术进行了创新演绎[1]。海青少布15岁时拜四胡大师特格喜都楞为师[1],随后创编了百余首"好来宝"作品[1]。其中《科尔沁走马赞》被网友称为"非遗说唱天花板"[1]。通过多种舞台表演形式的创新,"好来宝"这一古老的草原艺术正在当代焕发出新的生命力。
"Khoomei," a Mongolian traditional vocal art form whose name literally means "continuous rhyming recitation," originated around the 12th century and has evolved into a vital cultural practice on the grasslands [1]. The art form was officially recognized as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008, when it was included in the second batch of representative projects in China's intangible cultural heritage registry [1].
The contemporary vitality of this ancient art owes much to practitioners like Hai Qingshaobu, a 60-year-old national-level intangible cultural heritage representative inheritor who began studying the four-stringed fiddle under master Tegexiduleng at age 15 [1]. Hai has created over one hundred "Khoomei" compositions, breathing new life into the traditional form through creative reinterpretation [1]. One of his works, "The Horqin Gallop Eulogy," has garnered significant online attention and been hailed by internet users as the "ceiling of intangible heritage rap" [1].
The performance styles of "Khoomei" are diverse, encompassing solo narration, duet dialogue, and multi-person choruses accompanied by dance [1]. Through these varied presentation formats, the art continues to find new audiences and stages, demonstrating how traditional cultural expressions can remain dynamic and relevant in contemporary artistic contexts [1].
