Though little known, this one is actually great and worthy of watching.Several different stories make up the film, yet indeed they are closely related to each other.This Chinese film of course depicts beautiful bucolic sceneries all over the country and the imposing spectacles of Yellow River, which stands for the word River in the title, but what counts more is definitely those traditional culture customs mentioned in it. It reveals the current situation of many conventional art or musical forms which have developed along the Yellow River, say Piyjng,Qinqiang,Huaer,thus laying great emphasis on culture protection. At the end of the film ,it shows the way in which Chinese people try to promote those precious customs and how they manage to combine traditions and modern life.So,this film is much more than just music but has a profound influence.
