In front of the stage of the "Pudong Xuanhuan", Zhou Fumei and other performers put the ancient tune and created a new word with a red mark, and the tourist Li Juan smiled and said: Pudong Xuanjuan sings in the Pudong dialect, which is kind, good to hear and has a taste.
Pudong Zhoupu Xuanjuan was selected into the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Catalogue in 2014 and is one of the traditional folk arts in Jiangnan. In the late Qing Dynasty, Xuanquan was introduced from Suzhou to Pudong Zhoupu, and like the Pudong Storytelling, Gong and Drum Book, Shanghai Rap and Shanghai Commentary, it belongs to one of the few local music varieties in Shanghai that use Pudong dialect and local tunes, and is an important representative of Shanghai quyi, reflecting the unique style of Shanghai's local music culture. Last year, the Zhoupu Town Cultural Service Center set up the "Pudong Xuanhuan" inheritance and singing team, which went deep into schools, communities and villages to inherit and sing intangible cultural heritage classics.
Not far away, the performance of the Jiangnan Silk Bamboo Folk Orchestra in Zhoupu Town is melodious and beautiful. In 2017, the folk orchestra was rated as the excellent inheritance base of Jiangnan Silk Bamboo by the Civil Management Committee of the Shanghai Musicians Association, the title of A-class orchestra in the 2018 comprehensive evaluation, and the advanced collective in the protection and inheritance of Jiangnan Silk Bamboo by the Shanghai Intangible Cultural Heritage Center.
Reed painting is an intangible cultural heritage of Hebei Province. A year ago, Li Chenghan, the founder of "NiuBan Youshu", introduced to Shanghai and founded the "Shanghai Haipai" reed painting. In this exhibition, Li Chenghan took the stalks of reeds as raw materials, took the "one conference site" and the "Red Flag Brand" domestic car as the theme, made full use of the natural luster, texture, texture and auxiliary red rising sun background of the reeds, adopted many artistic expression techniques such as Chinese painting, printmaking, paper-cutting, branding painting, etc., and after more than a dozen processes such as selection, ironing, scraping, gluing, carving, cutting, weaving, branding, and grouping, created a large-scale reed painting handicraft with realistic image, reasonable composition and unique characteristics.
Reed weaving is also an intangible cultural heritage project in Pudong. Shi Huaxin of Shenxi Village, Zhoupu Town, is a reed weaver. He carefully weaved grasshoppers and other animals and plants in the countryside with green reed leaves. Lao Shi also taught reed weaving to his wife Zhu Pingyun and his daughter and her daughter's child Xiaobao. Three generations of grandchildren gathered in front of the booth, weaving grasshoppers together and hand-crafting reed paintings together, which became a highlight of this folk exhibition.
Before wrapping rice dumplings and making sachets, many tourists are learning skills from old rural mothers who wrap rice dumplings and make sachets. Zhu Huijun's old mother wrapped rice dumplings and made incense bags is a good hand, and the three generations of the same table at this exhibition will wrap rice dumplings and make incense bags, which are happy and harmonious, and jointly inherit the Dragon Boat Festival.
Since the Dragon Boat Festival in 2005, more than 20 old mothers such as Shen Yinfang and Shen Guifang from Zhoudong Village in Zhoupu Town have insisted on participating in the Zhoupu Little Shanghai Dragon Boat Festival Folk Culture Exhibition for 16 years. On the booth, there were triangular rice dumplings, silkworm dumplings, za dumplings, small foot dumplings, and mini dumplings, all of which were their "works". Shen Guifang's pu dumplings are very distinctive, square like the old pu pu. It is a bamboo weaving utensil used by farmers in the old days to hold grain such as rice. Now bao ji pu dumpling symbolizes the abundance of grain in the new era, more than every year, and it is also a memory of the ancient pu pu.
