“三边说书”是西北地区十分重要的曲艺说书形式,是陕北说书的重要一支,主要流行于定边、靖边、吴旗及宁夏的盐池、内蒙古的前旗等地。最初是由穷苦盲人运用陕北的民歌小调演唱一些传说故事,后来吸收眉户、秦腔及道情和信天游的曲调,逐步形成为说唱表演长篇故事的说书形式。 “Trilateral Saying ” is a very important folk art storytelling form in Northwest China. It is an important one in northern Shaanxi. It is mainly used in places like Dingbian, Jingbian, Wuqi, Yanchi in Ningxia and Qianqi in Inner Mongolia. Initially, the poor blind people used some folk tales in northern Shaanxi to sing some legends. Later, they absorbed the tunes of the tiger families, the qin caves, the Taoism and the xintianyou and gradually formed the forms of narration for the long story of rap performances.
