The song jingles

Answer 1

Jingle Bells was composed by the American composer James Lord Pierpont (1822 - 1893) in 1857. Originally, it was a song about the holiday festival. It was called "The One Horse Open Sled" and was composed for the children of the neighbors at a holiday school concert in the United States. Two years later, Pierpont added a picture of sleigh bells to the cover of the music score, renamed it Jingle Bells, and later became associated with Christmas. Thirty years later, it was released on a disc and became the first Christmas hit. It was also the first Christmas song to be played in space. The original score was once stored in a museum in New York and later collected by private collectors for decades. In 2022, it was bought by a Christmas museum in South Korea for 19,000 pounds (about 160,000 yuan).

The tune of this song was smooth and cheerful, expressing the sincere feelings of the people who loved the beautiful life in the snowstorm. Although there was no Jesus or Santa Claus in the song, the lyrics were simple and unadorned, showing a beautiful soul and yearning for a happy life, becoming an indispensable part of the Western Christmas festival. In the late 1970s, it spread in China. The version sung by the famous Chinese soprano, Zhu Fengbo, was included in China's first three-dimensional tape album,"Roses Blooming Everywhere: Zhu Fengbo's Solo Song Selection", which was very popular among adults and children.
