Have you noticed that this year's folk performances across the country seem to be on fire, and there are rough and unrestrained English songs with a strong sense of rhythm in the south; In the north, there are mighty, tall, and oppressive aerial acrobatic stilts; These folk performances continue to spread on the Internet, attracting a lot of audiences, in previous years, after the Spring Festival, these folk customs will be gradually put away, but this year they have been taken out from time to time to perform.
Southern singing performances
In Gansu, the intangible cultural heritage list item from Niuzhan Village, Liancheng Town, Yongdeng County: The attention to stepping on stilts is relatively high, especially the performance of "Drunk Guan Gong" Xiao Linzi makes everyone talk about it, some netizens said that Xiao Linzi played the "Drunk Guan Gong" The compassionate, helpless and righteous temperament of the second master came to the performance, especially after he finished drinking, the striding meteor pace, the big knife waving up and down, and the action of closing his eyes and turning around made the audience very enjoyable.
"Drunk Guan Gong" Xiao Lin Zi after the fire, successively received the invitation of Zhuo Zi County in Inner Mongolia, Jinan City, Shandong Province, Shanxi Jincheng City to perform, every place will receive a warm reception from the organizer and the welcome of fans, the team performance of the stilt show is also liked by everyone, many people have never seen such an image of "Drunk Guan Gong", plus Xiao Lin Zi drank a lot of liquor in public during the performance, this unique form, and the public's love for the image of Guan Gong, has won a lot of attention.
Judging from the organizers who invited the "Zui Guan Gong" to perform, they all belong to the form of "scenic spots set up on stage, cultural singing", which shows that now everyone has begun to pay attention to their traditional culture, and everyone also realizes that the folk culture that has been precipitated for hundreds of thousands of years is full of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the public, and the public's love for traditional culture.
But not everyone accepts this form of performance, some people have opinions on the performance of "drunk Guan Gong", thinking that this kind of activity belongs to feudal superstition, and performing under the banner of Guan Gong is disrespectful to Guan Gong, especially this kind of performance will charge an appearance fee in the later stage; There are also some people who believe that "stilts are limited to performances during the Spring Festival, and it is a disrespect for traditional culture when they appear at other times, so as long as Xiaolinzi performs, there will always be different voices."
In the past two days, the "Zui Guan Gong" Xiaolinzi team has received two invitation letters, one is the performance invitation letter of Long's Chinese Tourism Creative Industry Park in Dingxi City, Gansu Province, inviting the team to visit and participate in the opening ceremony of the Guyu Spring and Autumn Life Aesthetics Museum, a key investment attraction project in Dingxi, from May 18 to May 19; Second, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of Qinghai Provincial Minhe Hui Tu Autonomous County invited the team to participate in the "5.19 China Tourism Day and the 4th Hehuang Peony Cultural Tourism Season" from May 20th to May 21st.
Dingxi is an important birthplace of the Yellow River civilization of the Chinese nation, with a history of more than 2,200 years, Dingxi is also the hometown of Chinese potatoes, with a leading position in the country in terms of planting area and output, with large output and good quality, and exported to many countries and regions.
You may be relatively unfamiliar with Qinghai Province and Hui Tu Autonomous County, but this county is an important grain, vegetable, melon and fruit main production area in Qinghai Province, and enjoys the reputation of "the hometown of melons and fruits" in Qinghai.
The two invitations are slightly different, the performance in Dingxi is a folk invitation, and the invitation from the Qinghai people and cultural and tourism departments is an official invitation.
They invited "Drunk Guan Gong" Xiao Linzi and the team to perform here, valuing its influence and number of fans, before the "Drunk Guan Gong" Xiao Lin Zi in Inner Mongolia Zhuozi County, Shandong Jinan City, Shanxi Jincheng City performances are very successful, not only through the network to spread the organizer's information, so that more people know about here, but also attracted a lot of fans to travel here for consumption.
What is more special is that Minhe is holding cultural tourism activities this time, and the regional location here is close to Lanzhou, so it will definitely attract some tourists from Lanzhou.
However, the interesting thing is that the stilts of Lushaer in Qinghai are also very well-known folk arts, and they are also items on the list of intangible cultural heritage.
In addition to showing the art form of "Drunken Guan Gong", there is also an important reason for the professionalism of Xiao Linzi and his team and their social responsibility to help the needy.
In Inner Mongolia Linhu Gusai Scenic Area and Jincheng Situ Town performances are loved by everyone, there are constantly audiences from other places to come, in order to meet the requirements of fans, the stilt team has carried out additional performances, as long as the gongs and drums sound, Xiao Linzi and other team members are seriously standing on stilts more than two meters high, striding to show their unique skills.
The proceeds from the performance in Inner Mongolia were donated to the big temple in the village as incense money; After returning from Jincheng, Shanxi, Xiao Linzi and several team members went to a mountain village primary school to donate stationery to the children; As early as during the Spring Festival, Xiao Linzi and his friends brought rice and cooking oil to visit the lonely and widowed elderly.
The last few activities have been carried out relatively smoothly, and the operation of the team is much better than before, when everything is on the right track, Xiaolinzi also realizes the importance of learning and reading, it once said in the live broadcast room that it was too naughty when it went to school, and it didn't study hard, and now it regrets it.
The paradox is that most of the inheritance of folk culture and art such as "Zuiguangong" is adhered to by young people who stay in the countryside.
