Recently, in a peach orchard in Xiye Que Village, Shuangquan Town, Dali County, there was a tongzhou singing voice of "Ya Ya Na Ha..." Was heard, which was a literary and artistic detachment of the Dali County Theater Troupe performing, and the fruit farmers listened to the drama while thinning the fruit, and the mood was more energetic to work happily.
Over the past month, dali county theater troupe has taken the initiative to innovate the cultural service model, and the four literary and art teams formed have entered the fields and villages and alleys, performing nearly 200 times, inheriting the Tongzhou Zizi and "planting culture".
Repeated epidemics have affected performances and it is difficult to carry out Innovation sends opera to the field
In the past two years, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the performances often failed to proceed as planned, which made He Mantang, the head of the Dali County Theater Troupe, very worried. "What is the path of the development of county-level theater troupes?" He had been pondering the question, and recently he had come up with the answer.
In March this year, dali county troupe created a party building brand of "party flag red, cultural tourism and integration", and normalized the service project of "rural revitalization and culture".
"Our regiment has more than 30 non-hereditary heirs of Tongzhou Zizi." He said that in order to give full play to the role of inheritors, we must go out. Therefore, the troupe set up 4 literary and art detachments led by party members, went into the fields and alleys of the villages, and sent culture and performances to the masses.
On March 16, four literary and art detachments went into duanjia, Chaoyi, Qiangbai, Weilin and other towns, and took advantage of the rest time of the masses to work in the farmland to sing the favorite Tongzhou zizi and songs to the masses, and also performed dances, kicking off the prelude to "various cultures".
On April 21, in the wheat fields and vineyards of Siqian Village in Qiangbai Town, the literary and art detachment gave Qin Opera "Night Escape", "Wang Baojun", "All Say The Border Area Is Good" and other plays, which won the applause of the masses. At the same time, the literary and art team also joined hands with agriculture, health, culture, science and technology and other departments to use performances to carry out policies to benefit the people and publicize knowledge on epidemic prevention and control.
"All kinds of culture" should let the masses be the protagonists and build rural cultural and artistic base areas
In the process of carrying out the service project of "rural revitalization and culture", the literary and art detachment also played a supporting role, allowing the masses to become the protagonists of culture.
"Rural revitalization culture empowerment, in the final analysis, we must use the belief of 'bacon to cast the soul'." He Mantang said, "We sing well is not good, the masses can sing well is really good", when the literary and art detachment performs in the fields and villages, it often invites villagers who love to sing opera to participate, "Only by turning from bystanders to participants can the masses really become the protagonists."
When the literary and art detachment performed on the ground in WangMa Village, Guanchi Town, the old man Miao Xingyi took the banhu from the hands of the performers and sang the accompaniment of Qin's "Blood and Tears Vengeance" for the actor Wang Group; when the literary and art detachment entered Maicheng Village in Qiangbai Town, actor Ju Ting taught the performance skills to the villager Qiao Aihong, and then the two of them sang the excerpt of "Broken Bridge" together.
After singing, Qiao Aihong said happily: "Usually I can only watch the drama on TV and learn to hum two sentences, but now the literary and art team has come to my home field and sang with professional opera actors, and the mood is very beautiful." ”
Feng Ming, an actor of the literary and art squad, is 29 years old this year, he said that during this time, he and his colleagues went deep into the field to perform, and the applause given by everyone was the greatest recognition and encouragement to the squad, and at the same time received a lot of suggestions, which drew "nutrition" for future performances, which was very useful.
Integrate the elements of the times to make Tongzhou Zizi rejuvenated
Tongzhou Zizi, also known as Lao Qin Cavity or Donglu Qin Cavity, is an ancient opera drama that originated in Dali (ancient name Tongzhou), with hardwood zizi beating knots as the main feature, formed in Qin, refined in Han, Changming in Sui, complete in Tang, spread in Ming, prevalent in Qing, known as the originator of Chinese Zizi opera. In 2008, it was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
As a national non-hereditary inheritor of Tongzhou Zizi, He Mantang has been thinking about how tongzhou zizi has many classic traditional repertoire, but how to make it revitalized in the new era?
"Art comes from life, and to innovate is to give it the story and content of the times." He said that in recent years, the troupe has combined local elements to create many modern plays in Tongzhou, which are well received by the masses. Among them, "Jujube Flowers on the Banks of the Yellow River" is based on the story of Xue An, the village secretary of Xiaopo Village in Anren Town, leading the villagers to clean up the saline and alkali land and plant winter dates to get rid of poverty and get rich; "Three Rivers People's Home" combines local delicacies such as elbows and nine pins and thirteen flowers with the wine culture of Guessing Fist to stimulate people's yearning for gourmet dali and beautiful dali.
With regard to the future, He Mantang said that in the future, we must continue to do the "kind of culture" thing, let traditional culture such as Tongzhou Zizi take root in the grassroots and the countryside, provide the masses with more literary and artistic programs that are popular with the masses, and also draw more "nutrition" from the masses to better help rural revitalization.
