A few years later, I still remember that winter night with snowflakes, two blind artists in their sixties came to our village to talk, I can't remember what they said, but I remember the heart-rending narration, the tone of the depression, the urgent or slow drum beat, the crystal tears. What tugged at my heartstrings? So much so that it spans time and space and cannot be forgotten for a long time. It is simple, it is frank, it is a sincere expression with an earthy atmosphere, and it is the charm of the countryside.
The ancients said that the loss of etiquette and the request for wild, wild, green "gifts" are only to make people think.
Looking at the Qilu Folk Customs Network Spring Festival Gala created by the Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature and Literature gathered artists, I think what makes my heart hot is precisely the "wild", the "wild" scattered in the folk, the "wild" rooted in people's hearts, the "wild" that comes to the center of the stage from the museum exhibition cabinet, the historical record, and the family tree. It does not have the "noise" of the general party, does not have the luxurious choreography of the general party, the strong lineup, and does not have a large and complete cliché. It only follows the direction of the Flow of the Yellow River, showing the joys and sorrows of the people on both sides of the strait, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and showing their incomparable attachment and love for "humanity and daily use".
Unique beauty is true beauty; the bloom rooted in the soil is the true bloom.
Sai Feng, a poet nourished by the water of the Yellow River, has a poem called "I am familiar with this river", he wrote: "The totem shape of the dragon / Swimming in the east of the earth / The great people that reproduce / The luster of gold alone". The evening party takes the Yellow River as the main line and runs through the five chapters of "Soul", "Rhyme", "Love", "Dream" and "Beauty", so that the image of the Yellow River stands clearly on the stage. For example, "Yellow River Rammer" + "Yellow River Ode" skillfully combines the simple trumpets of 6 farmers in Yanggu, Shandong Province, with the "Yellow River Concerto" interpreted by the piano and guzheng, and the sonorous piano song adds the roughness, high-pitched and majestic "wild" of the Yellow River rammer, accompanied by the interpretation of the guzheng song that flows eternally, and when the song comes down, it makes people stir in the heart. Based on the archetypal characters in the background of the Yellow River Anlan, the song "The Village Chief's Nickname is Called "Old Evil""" and the lyrics depict the grass-roots village cadres in the new era who adhere to principles, act actively and dedicate themselves to the "wild" interest of the right words, and the works draw on the characteristics of the tonal structure of Binzhou's "Fishing Drum Drama", combined with the modern techniques of music creation in the new era, enhance the vitality of the singing voice, highlight the narrative characteristics, tradition and modernity, "elegant" and "customary" to achieve a perfect integration. The ending song "The Ancient Flow of the Yellow River" is the latest dedication of the famous composer Li Yuntao, and the singer Huang Huali sang with great affection, as if it were a spring breeze blowing from the mountains, waking up everything on both sides of the Yellow River.
Along the yellow village, like a pearl, the gold thread of the Yellow River is threaded into a necklace - a necklace of folk art. I saw woodblock prints, paper cuts, brocade weaving, flower cloth printing and dyeing, clay sculptures, face sculptures and other shapes become the background of the big screen, these solidified landscapes hide the traces of the Yellow River, the style of the Yellow River, the Dongming lion dance, Lü opera, magic, martial arts, Peking Opera, Lu Southwest blowing and playing music, pipa ancient song, Jiaozhou song, Haiyang song, drum song and so on are dazzling. What impressed me the most was the Taishan shadow puppet play, the shadow puppet theater inheritor Fan Zheng'an's selfless performance was amazing, "thinking of words in the brain, singing songs in the mouth, dancing people in the hands, stepping on the hammer under the feet", the facial features, limbs, and mind can not be idle for a moment, that kung fu, it is really "wild" full of taste! In the year of the tiger, which can be missing the tiger element. Cloth tiger, Nianhua tiger, paper-cut tiger, Caozhou Jiangmi human tiger, Caozhou face human tiger tin carving tiger, Jiaodong da rao tiger, glass tiger, brick sculpture tiger and so on to light up the stage. Holding a "mud called tiger", children wearing tiger shoes and tiger hats play together. I experienced the fun of the countryside.
The soul of the people is transformed by the text; the god of the state is cast by the text. How? How to cast? It needs to be reminded, and it needs to be reminded repeatedly, such as spring rain and flowers, clear canal irrigation rice. What does it mean to cut window flowers? How did the phrase "press the old money" come about? Why eat vegetarian stuffed dumplings for the New Year? Why don't Chinese New Year's Eve take out the garbage? Why pay attention to the fire on the first day of the Chinese New Year? Do you know the story of "rat marrying a daughter" on the second day of the New Year when you go back to your mother's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year? What are the taboos on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year? The guests in the party, tracing back to the roots, telling the story, said just right, tasteful.
Novel forms can increase the weight of the content. Qilu culture and the soul of the Yellow River call for refreshing expressions. The form of qilu folk customs network spring festival gala, strengthen the characteristics of the network, pay attention to the characteristics of network communication, can you summarize the "folklore + network +" in one sentence: folk art + regional life + regional beauty = fusion design, modern art + non-genetic inheritance = grafting innovation, let people see the fashion expression of traditional culture, not the visual reproduction of traditional meaning, but the performance of multimedia multi-level fun entertainment.
"The Yellow River is more like a sea standing up", this is the Yellow River in the poet's eyes, so that the image of the Yellow River lying down stands up. The same is true of the Qilu Folk Customs Network Spring Festival Gala, familiar scenes, familiar melodies are defamiliarized, and fashion elements are used to give the tiny fragments on both sides of the Yellow River a sense of existence, a sense of wholeness, and a sense of the times. For example, the VCR pilot film "Shandong Year of China" takes the far-reaching influence of the folklore of Confucius on the Chinese nation as the starting point, integrates elements such as the Yellow River, Hanfu, and intangible cultural heritage, and uses the shooting techniques of fashion blockbusters to make Shandong traditional folklore an online fashion expression. Exudes the poetic beauty of individuality and long-term thinking. Inspired by the folk weaving handmade intangible cultural heritage, the creators have a long history of singing, and the Shandong folk songs with distinctive regional characteristics in Qilu include Shandong folk embroidery, Lu Jin, printing and dyeing, willow weaving, straw weaving and other folk weaving technology elements, and the dance choreography and design are combined into "Weaving Dreams". Peking Opera Nianbai, Qingyi and traditional dance interpretation of the "Qintai Gaohui Appreciation peony", the peony culture and poetry culture have been organically integrated, "Drama Rhyme Martial Soul" chinese culture lovers Russian Andrei family of three Lu opera and martial arts together, really has a "wild" rhyme.
It can be said that the evening party is a vivid case of creative transformation and innovative development, and a vivid practice of constantly excavating the value of the times contained in the Yellow River culture.
In the summer before, the famous writer Mo Yan arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River and sincerely sighed: "Where the Yellow River enters the sea, there will be big articles." It can be said that the Qilu Folk Customs Network Spring Festival Gala with the theme of "the Yellow River enters the sea and the prosperous New Year" is also a big article and the most beautiful gift for the audience.
