In the vast sea of ​​music, there is a shining artist who is not only a weaver of music, but also an academic navigator. He is Han Xiaohan, a music master born in 1974, who now continues his musical exploration journey under the sunshine of Thailand. Since he set sail in 1993, he has become an outstanding leader in the Chinese contemporary music world who integrates the elements of Northeast Asian folk music.

Han Xiaohan's music works, like bright stars, illuminate people's hearts and stir up waves in the academic world, attracting widespread attention. His music is not only the leap of notes, but also the collision and fusion of cultures. Each work contains his profound understanding and unique insights into music and culture.

On Han Xiaohan's musical journey, he constantly crosses the boundaries between tradition and modernity, blending folk music with modern techniques to create a unique musical style. His works carry a profound national cultural heritage and are full of the vitality and innovation of modern music. This unique musical style makes him unique in the music industry and has won the love and praise of many listeners.

Cross-border music soul, looking for the poetry and distance of Manchu rhyme

Han Xiaohan, a talented and passionate musician, began his musical journey with the band "The Last Days". With his smooth and beautiful melodies and his deep concern for the bottom of society, he quickly emerged in the music world. However, for this artist who constantly pursues the true meaning of music, the existing achievements are not the end, but a new starting point. He chose a broader path - returning to his ethnic roots and exploring the unique charm of Manchu music.

The Manchus, a nation with a long history and rich culture, have a unique musical culture. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the Manchu Shaman mythology music, Han Xiaohan embarked on a long field recording journey. For more than 20 years, he traveled through remote villages in the three northeastern provinces and Mongolia, listening attentively to the notes that were about to disappear and recording those precious melodies with his pen. Faced with the dilemma of the gradual disappearance of Manchu culture and music, Han Xiaohan did not choose to remain silent, but resolutely learned the Manchu language, hoping to contribute to the inheritance and development of Manchu music culture through his own efforts.

In music creation, Han Xiaohan has conducted many experiments and integrations, combining tradition with modernity, and created a series of works full of mysterious, desolate and ethereal atmosphere. Based on the text of Manchu Shaman mythology and traditional rap art "Uleben", he created four Manchu Shaman mythology musical stage plays. These works not only show the unique charm of Manchu music, but also incorporate modern composition techniques and performance methods, giving traditional music a new brilliance. Han Xiaohan's music works are divided into three categories: the first category is the "God Song" series of musical stage plays based on Manchu Shaman mythology and traditional Uleben stories; the second category is art songs combined with poetry; the third category is film and television soundtracks. These works fully demonstrate Han Xiaohan's extensive involvement and profound attainments in music creation.

In order to better present the Manchu shaman mythology Ulaben, Han Xiaohan formed the Abuka Orchestra in 2013. The members of the orchestra come from various fields, and they are committed to combining the traditional Manchu culture with modern music elements to bring an audio-visual feast to the audience. The name of the orchestra "Abuka" comes from the goddess of creation Abuka in the traditional Manchu shaman mythology, which means that the orchestra inherits and carries forward the traditional Manchu culture.

Han Xiaohan's efforts and talents have been widely recognized by the industry. In 2013, he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Chinese Golden Melody Awards for "Ice River", which undoubtedly added more glory to his musical journey. In 2019, he won the Global Chinese Golden Melody Award for "Shaman on the Branch", once again proving his outstanding talent and profound attainments in music creation.

Han Xiaohan's musical journey is a cross-border journey, and also a journey to seek the poetry and distance of Manchu rhyme. With his efforts and talents, he has made outstanding contributions to the inheritance and development of Manchu music culture, and has also injected new vitality and creativity into the music industry.

This project not only received high praise from the audience, but also promoted the diversified development of music culture and injected new vitality into international cultural exchanges.
