Xiangfeng Xiangyun attracts tourists into Sanxiang and Sijiang.
Approaching the Baosteel stage, a lively Miao dragon dance in Chengbu is happily welcoming tourists. Hanging dragons combine painting, cloth art, paper-cutting and applique, and a strong Huxiang style blows against my face.
In the afternoon 1: 30, on the Baosteel stage of the World Expo Park, dancers beat passionate drums and pranced out exaggerated lines in the mysterious music of Xiangxi. At this moment, Hunan people's burning enthusiasm, the momentum of being the first, and the spirit of competing with heaven and earth are fully revealed.
The stage art performance with the theme of "Peach Blossom Garden" is jointly created by provincial professional art colleges and charming Xiangxi Art Troupe. Hunan folk chorus, puppet show "Yu Meiren", Dong dance "Closing Banquet", acrobatics "Ballet Dish" and ancient painting opera "Liu Hai Pi Chai" are all fine works of stage art in our province, which won warm applause from the audience.
In the evening, the "Carnival Peach Blossom Garden" danced all the way, and Bocheng Road in the Expo Park was immersed in laughter. The parade on the street mainly showed the cultures of four ethnic minorities in our province: Miao, Dong, Yao and Tujia. Tujia waving dance, Yao women's group dance "Guaiguai Huayaozhai" and other programs attracted tourists along the way to take pictures.
In the Celebration Square in Zone B of the Expo Park, there are the original Maugus hunting home, Tujia brocade love song "Batai Batai kaptar", Tujia playing cock and golden pheasant coming out of the mountain. Let the unfinished tourists immerse themselves in Hunan flavor and rhyme.
Intangible cultural heritage makes tourists linger.
"Romantic Peach Blossom Garden Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition" was held in China Element Activity Area of Baosteel Stage in the Expo Park. Exquisite Xiang embroidery, colorful, sweet and refreshing Liling as thin as jade, carved flowers and candied fruit under glaze, the world's only gender word Jiang Yong's female calligraphy ... The most representative intangible cultural heritage from Sanxiang has amazed tourists all over the world and lingered.
It is understood that five of the nine intangible cultural heritages exhibited this time are national intangible cultural heritages. In addition, two kinds of folk arts, Qin Wen and pen calligraphy, are also displayed here.
The reporter came to the first booth, and Jiang Zaihong, a national master of arts and crafts, was flying needles in front of the embroidery frame. "The Roar of the Lion" and "Morning Mist Lotus" are among the best in the national embroidery field. For this exhibition, Master Jiang specially brought Hunan embroidery products with the theme of World Expo, and innovatively used chemical fiber cloth as the bottom surface, making embroidery more difficult, but it can play the role of moisture-proof, waterproof and anti-corrosion, with longer preservation life and more modern appearance, which can meet the aesthetic needs of different tourists.
Daily necessities such as cushions, wallets, cheongsam, cloth shoes and murals made of Dong brocade and blue printed cloth are very popular with tourists. Although the blue calico here is not from Xiangxi, it comes from Shaoyang, the birthplace of blue calico in Liu Dapao, Xiangxi. Plant ash, plantain, chrysanthemum leaves, Toona sinensis roots, soybean milk and lime, the raw materials for making blue calico, have aroused great interest of tourists. Many beautiful ladies took a fancy to the blue printed cheongsam on display.
