"Chopping firewood with bangs" is jointly produced by CCTV, Changsha Radio and Television Art Center, Hunan Heguang Culture Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd., Changde Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and Changde Radio and Television Station. The play is based on Hunan ancient painting opera of the same name.
I live in Liujiamen in Wuling, Changde and Luffa well. These are two lyrics of Liu Hai in xiang opera's "Liu Hai Chops Wood".
There is another "authentic version" of the legend of Liu Hai chopping wood among some old people in Wuling District of Changde City: in ancient times, Liu Hai and his mother lived next to Loofah Well in Wuling District of Changde City. Liu's mother wept bitterly because she missed her dead husband. Liu Hai is very hardworking and filial. She goes up the mountain to chop wood every day to support her mother.
In the mountain where bangs cut firewood, there lived a fox who had been practicing for many years. She was refined into a treasure, which can be transformed into a human form in her mouth. By this time, she has become a fortuneteller, and she will be immortal after hundreds of years of practice.
After returning home, Liu Hai told her mother that she liked it very much and agreed to their marriage. Liu Hai then went to Chicken Goose Lane downtown to buy something for marriage.
There is a small temple next to Ji 'e Lane. There are eighteen arhats in the temple. Among them, ten arhats (golden toad) are also practicing secretly with a group of disciples. He made a lot of money and became a fortune teller. If he can get Hu Xiuying's orb, he can live forever and ascend to heaven immediately.
Ten arhats saw that Hu Xiuying and Liu Hai were married, so they had a bad heart. He led his disciples to take Hu Xiuying's orb.
Hu Xiuying will show his true colors when he loses the ball, but in desperation, he has to tell Liu Hai the truth. When Liu Hai knew about it, he didn't blame Hu Xiuying. He took a stone axe for chopping wood at home to fight ten arhats. Finally, with the help of Axe God and Hu Xiuying sisters, Liu Hai defeated them and got the sphere. From then on, they lived a happy life.
The legend of Liu Hai chopping wood in Changde was formed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and by the middle of Qing Dynasty, the main version of the legend of Liu Hai chopping wood that has been circulated so far has been formed.
The legendary "Liu Hai Temple" where Liu Hai fought with the Ten Arhats has long been damaged. The legend of Liu Hai chopping wood still has profound practical significance today. The virtues of diligence, integrity and filial piety and the desire to pursue loyal love embodied in Liu Hai and Fox Fairy.
Legendary figures are plump and distinctive, which can be called the fine works of Hunan folk oral literature.
The legend of cutting firewood with bangs preserves the living conditions and folk customs of Changde people in a certain historical stage, and its values will be passed down with the spread of the story.
Liu Hai chopping firewood used to be very popular in Hunan urban and rural performance teams, which was very nice. It was Li Guyi and Jiang Kun's sketch performance in 1984 Spring Festival Evening that made it popular all over the country.
