Local customs and practices
Suizhou, located at the junction of Hubei and Henan, is a gathering place of North and South cultures, which is characterized by eclecticism and coexistence of various arts. Taking drama as an example, Han Opera and Chu Opera, which reflect Chu culture, have a wide audience in southern Suiyuan, and Quju Opera, Yuediao Opera and Henan Opera, which express Central Plains culture, also have a broad market in northern Suiyuan. The unique Suizhou Flower Drum Opera is deeply loved by Suizhou people. At first, Suizhou ancient painting opera was a folk tune, and some folk artists sang and danced with a small drum on their backs. Later, it developed into a folk tune in which people sang in winter and everyone helped to beat gongs and drums. Up to now, Shennong Temple has a village drum competition every year, and also absorbed the opera tunes of West Road Flower Drum and North Road Flower Drum. Suizhou Huagu Opera has gradually formed a vocal art with rough, mixed, Liang Shantiao and colored tones as the main features. Most of the contents reflect the love between men and women, oppose feudal ethics, attack the poor and love the rich, and praise fairness and honesty. But some low-level absurd dross coexist. Another feature of Suizhou ancient painting drama is that if necessary, people will promise in the background that the emperor never appears in front, which embodies the characteristics of ancient painting drama as a small drama of the working people at the bottom. After the founding of New China, especially after the establishment of 1956 professional Huagu Opera Troupe, the repertoire was greatly enriched, and more than 40 sets of traditional plays, new historical plays and modern plays were arranged and performed. 1985, the newly-edited historical drama "Chu Zhuangwang" was first put on the screen by the Central News Recording Film Studio, which promoted Suizhou Huagu Opera to the whole country. Suizhou folk literature and art, with folk music, folk dance and folk art as the main body, is a very valuable cultural wealth in the treasure house of Chinese culture. Common forms of folk literature and art include dragon lantern, bench dragon, lion, dry boat, stilts, drum writing, Taoist sentiment, suona, folk songs, chant and so on. Especially Suizhou (one person sedan chair, one person dragon bar, Kirin) shows the charm of local artistic characteristics. Single sedan chair is a popular folk performance form in Suizhou and its surrounding areas. The performer carries a long bamboo piece on his back, which is tied with a sedan chair cover, and the bearers perform under the sedan chair. It should be performed by both men and women. Performers standing on drums or music rhythm, coupled with love, humor and funny hilarious plots, can produce strong artistic effects. Dragon pole is made up of long and short Chinese fir poles crossed in zigzag. Two people carry the pole, and one person supports the back of the pole. Most of the performers in the front pole dress up as corrupt officials and have a urinal tied to their chests with bamboo sticks. With the flashing of the pole, the wings of the corrupt official's black hat swung up and down, and the urinal swung to the corrupt official's chest from time to time, which was ridiculous and reflected the working people's mockery of the feudal rulers. This kind of performance can be performed in one or more groups. Folk call it: the pole is a sedan chair, which looks funny, not a real sedan chair, but a joke. Kirin means that performers stretch their hands upward and close their heads to form a somersault, drawing human or animal faces on their bellies, drawing a nose on their midbellies with their breasts as their eyes and navel as their mouths, and tying a black skirt (meaning a beard) around their waist to play with a group of children, reflecting an artistic situation in which people and animals live in harmony. Folk art forms are very popular in Suizhou urban and rural areas. At the opening ceremony of 1993, tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign guests feasted their eyes and watched the successful performance. Yan Di Shennong Legend (Suizhou City, Hubei Province, Shennongjia Forest Area) and Ancient Painting Drama (Suzhou City, Huaibei City, Xuancheng City; Suizhou City and Macheng City, Hubei Province; Yueyang County, Shaoyang City and Changde City in Hunan Province were included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
