The Kanto Yangge has a long history. As early as 4000 years ago, there used to be a goddess temple in Niheliang, western Liaoning, where the goddess statue was enshrined. There was also a huge square around the statue of the goddess, which was used to worship the goddess, and this huge square of the goddess temple was used for dancing.
The Tang and Song dynasties, the country several times strong and the rapid development of feudal urban society, promoting the unprecedented prosperity of song and dance performing arts, the most notable sign is the improvement of song and dance performing arts and the growth of professional artists team, a powerful impetus to the folk song and dance from self-entertainment, the masses to the performances, the development of vocational transformation, resulting in a court to the folk, the city to the countryside, and the cultural stage are all made of song and dance. Literary arena by the song and dance performing arts leading the situation. From the historical records of the Song Dynasty folk dance team, then in the New Year, Lantern Festival, Ching Ming Festival and other important festivals, such as the performance of the "rowing boat", "stilt walking", "village music" and other programs, is still the Han towns and villages, "walking" activities in the common basic content.
The lyrics of the Kanto rice-planting songs are all eulogies of the Kanto folklore, such as: "A new year begins with the rise of ten thousand phenomena, celebrating the New Year and enjoying the lanterns. The two instruments present auspiciousness and increase fortune and fortune, and the fireworks of the lantern festival fly all over the city. The three goats are blessed, and firecrackers are fired in front of and behind the villages and towns. The four seasons are safe and happy. The five blessings of life are beautiful, and the Hai'an River is clear and singing. The spring of the sixth contract is celebrated all over the world, congratulating the people for enjoying peace and quiet. The seven stars are shining brightly in the year, and the livestock are thriving and the rice is plentiful. The eight festivals are blessed with prosperity for all people, and the twenty festivals are peaceful. Nine states are in harmony, and the world is at peace with the people. The country's fortunes are prospering, and the color of the rivers and mountains is red. (The Cross Order).
There are also some circulating in the folk Yangge lyrics, close to the people's feelings, and metaphor, ridicule the ills of the day, such as: "brake public word", is that some of the folk artists who have traveled around, improvised lyrics, randomly sung. The lyrics are:
Singing in the streets and alleys, the festive rice-planting songs to celebrate peace.
All the people of the five lakes are happy, east and west, south and north to celebrate the peace.
The Tang Monk is in the team, and the master and his disciples are going to fetch the scriptures from the West.
We are advising people to do good and not to do evil, but the net of heaven is not merciful.
The Longevity Monk is an official on a horse and a sedan chair, and he wears a veil on his head.
The government does not do anything for the people, but it is a corrupt and illegal practice.
The Bao Gong is a man with an iron face and three brass guillotines.
The corrupt officials drank the blood of the people, and sooner or later, they were inevitably punished.
Nowadays, twisting the big rice-planting song is a kind of spiritual relief, a kind of progress, a kind of return. When people walk into the ranks of the rice-planting songs, they forget to be entangled in the livelihood problems of repressed confusion, they consciously and unconsciously realize a kind of freedom from reality, when people in the ranks of the rice-planting songs, joyfully, enjoyably, forgetfully dancing, as if to leave the life of the earth and floating, is so easy, fast and happy.
Now it seems, twisting the big rice-planting song is not something new, and is not limited to New Year's, festivals. It has become the "flavor" of people's leisure and entertainment.
Whether in the city, or in the countryside, every morning or evening, in the square, in the community, in the yard and other places of public **** recreation, you can see twisting rice-planting song "long dragon" team, that really:
The horn sound sound even the sky, Guandong rice-planting song twisted happy.
The song and dance is in praise of the party, and the day of prosperity is sweeter than honey.
Long Essay on Yangge: The Unending Story of Yangge
Today, television and computers are pervasive, and their power has expanded to every corner of the world, becoming a necessity for people's lives, almost like food, water, and air. And other performing arts, stage art, folk art, are subject to its strong impact, the activities of the stage is getting smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared in people's field of vision. Although people are constantly organizing this festival, that cultural festival, this and that performance, in an attempt to revitalize it, but ultimately can not save the fate of the "inexorable flowers fall". But there is an art but as the sun, flourishing, a prairie fire, that is, rice-planting songs. As long as it is a festival day, you can see the cheerful and lively rice-planting song performance. It is in people's daily life, rice-planting songs have become an indispensable art. Whenever the night falls, in the park, in the square, in the street, everywhere can see twisting rice-planting song team. Whenever I see the rice-planting procession, it brings my mind back to my childhood and to my poor mountain village.
In our small mountain village, there is almost no recreational activities all year round, in my memory, the most impressive recreational activities, is to twist rice-planting songs. But the rice-planting song is not always, only to the end of the year to see. So we look forward to the New Year, in addition to looking forward to wearing new clothes, dumplings, firecrackers, is looking forward to rice-planting songs. At the end of the year, eight villages in ten miles will organize a rice-planting song team, you come to my village to perform, I go to your village to perform, you and I, until the first month of the fifteenth. The suona is the most dominant instrument in the rice-planting song, and as long as it is sounded, it will be heard all over the village, and that is the poster, that is the notice, people will come out from their homes and stand by the side of the road to watch the rice-planting song performances with interest, which can only be watched once in a year.
In the sound of gongs and drums, suona, a team of rice-planting songs in green silk, like a long dragon dancing in the countryside on the snowy road. The male members are dashing and lively, and the female members are charming and colorful. Accompanied by the suona, gongs and drums composed of rice-planting song tune, rice-planting song members of one hand dance colorful silk and one hand shakes the colorful fan, two steps forward and one step back, left a swing right a twist. Twisted to the excitement of the players, some eyebrows, exaggerated attitude, some shrugged shoulders bowed back, meandering steps, some swinging, shy, the cold twisted out of the Northeast people's unique thick charm, bold style, simple style, different gestures to accommodate the colorful connotations. Under the hot atmosphere, both sides of the road crowded with men and women, young and old, joyful in the head, dazzled by you crowded me. Tall okay, short had to stand on tiptoe to see, some simply climbed to the roadside fence or firewood stacks on the condescending to appreciate, look out of the God, look fascinated, as intoxicated, forget the time, forget to eat. The children are happy to follow the rice-planting team from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, leaping, laughing, running, some simply follow the imitation to twist to jump?
The song is playing and floating; the team is walking and dancing. The festive atmosphere enveloped the cold winter, filled the countryside over the long time, as if the spring has come early.
In the rice-planting team, there are various programs interspersed in it. When the dry boat twisted over, the villagers would cheer. The so-called dry boat, is to use paper to paste a boat shape, the boat in the middle of the stand a person, mostly women, hands on both sides of the boat, walking and twisting. I still don't understand why the villagers were so interested in the boat-running, and they even said that watching the rice-planting songs was directly related to watching the boat-running. Whenever the rice-planting songs come into the village, people will bring their wives and children and greet their neighbors: "The dry-boat runners are coming, go and see the dry-boat runners." In addition, there are also donkeys. It is also made of papier-maché in the shape of a donkey, with a woman standing in the center, meaning that she is riding on the donkey. So the difference is that there is another one holding the donkey in front. These two people, often a pair of lovers or lovers, in the performance, but also do some teasing action, but the hair of love stops, the action is not excessive. Among them also play "Journey to the West" in the master and disciples of the four, also play the white lady, also play the clown? But the most attractive thing for us kids was to walk on stilts. Whenever the stilt walkers came by, they would be surrounded by children and followed forward until they were sent out of the village. Then we also imitated the stilts, made them out of tree branches, stepped on them, walked around the village, and sometimes stepped on them to go to school.
Occasionally, there were lion dances in the rushing teams, but not many. There was only one time in my memory. On that occasion, the team danced in the village, and then suddenly danced to the production team's yard. People followed behind them, hooting and hollering. It was only when they arrived at the yard that they realized there was a lion dance. Because of the uneven roads in the countryside, the dance could not be held on the road, and the courtyard was relatively flat, so it was chosen here. A big lion and a small lion ran into the yard and danced happily. A man dressed as a samurai was holding a colorful ball and teasing the lion. You see the lion scratching, shaking its fur, and rolling around, its movements are smooth and lovely. At the end of the performance, both the big lion and the little lion stood up and appeared. The lion's voice is a cheering sound.
From the rice-planting song of the word "rice", this activity should be related to agricultural production. As recorded, a long time ago, farmers in order to pray for a good harvest, whenever the spring comes, are to be held in the fields to worship the gods of agriculture activities, and pray for a new year of wind and rain, a good harvest. With the passage of time, in the activities of the gods, gradually absorbed martial arts, acrobatics, opera and other disciplines of skills and forms, and thus developed into a popular art form, in the folk alive and well, thousands of years a long-lasting.
But now this kind of activity in the countryside has been rare, but in the city spread out, become a kind of folk performance form. But the content has been simplified a lot, in addition to entertainment, there is a fitness function. This is the only form that has not been washed away by computerized television and is still active among people in its own unique form.
