When the news of going to Xiyue Temple to perform spread, Hugou Village was all moved, and every household began to discuss this matter.

In the past, when there was a drama troupe, it was not that no one went to Xiyue Temple to perform, but the effect was not ideal, who didn't know about shadow puppetry, even if they hadn't seen it, they had heard of it, except for some old people in their seventies and eighties, not many young people liked it.

Zhang He pondered this matter in his heart, now in Hugou Village, the people who can really sing the old dialect are all old people, and if you want to pass on the old dialect, there must be young people who are willing to learn, but no one in the village is willing to learn.

Do you make money singing?

This problem is very realistic, not everyone loves money, but everyone lives a more realistic life.

Money is not everything, but no money is everything.

In a thought class in college, Zhang He listened to Maslow's needs theory taught by the teacher, and only when people meet the most basic needs will they pursue higher-level pursuits.

Facing the loess with his back to the sky, he can't even eat enough, who will learn this.

The key is not to make money after learning.

However, this is not a question that should be thought about now, at least until the application is successful.

When the name of the national intangible cultural heritage is released, it may be able to attract some people.

Zhang He himself has not learned, and he will not force others to learn, and the elders in the family have never forced the juniors to learn.

The old dialect has developed so far, and everyone has seen it very openly, but this opportunity is in front of us and must be seized.

At night, in the courtyard of the village, a white curtain was erected, and the curtain covered the entire stage tightly, and only the white curtain could be seen from the audience.

Huayin's old dialect belongs to shadow puppetry, which is true, but the singing method is the old singing method.

Performers play and sing behind the scenes, and signators control the shadow puppet performance.

Different from previous performances, because I was going to go to Yue Temple, there were many people from the village this time, sitting on the ground with a bench, waiting to see the excitement.

The old man Zhang Delin walked slowly with the moon qin in his hand, different from the round moon qin, the moon qin in Zhang Delin's hand is octagonal, with traces of vicissitudes on it.

This Yueqin was made by hand by himself, and it is very old.

Zhang He remembered that there was a small Yueqin at home, which was when he practiced Yueqin when he was a child, because his body was too small to hold the big Yueqin, Zhang Delin made it for him.

It's just that now, the Yueqin can only be left in the house to eat ashes.

An old-fashioned opera troupe requires at least five people, Zhang Delin is the "forerunner", who is responsible for rapping the entire line, holding the Yueqin in his arms, and singing with the performance.

The "signer" is the old man Zhang Deyun, who operated the shadow puppet performance of the audience.

"Back groove", also known as playing backstage, plays horse gongs, hook gongs, bangzi and bowls, and shouts and cheers in martial arts.

"Banhu Hand" used to be Zhang Dehai's old man, and he also played a small cymbal horn, cheering for singing and blowing the whistle.

"Sitting", also known as "sticking", "helping", "choosing a sticker", according to the progress of the plot, install shadow puppet character props in advance, and use them at any time for the signer.

However, there are many people in the Delin class, and there is no need for one person to wear multiple hats, so he can show the performance better.

Zhang He sat under the stage, staring at the curtain.

At this moment, the lights have been lit behind the curtain, illuminating the whole canvas brightly.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.

"Military Academy! Prepare your horses! Raise your sword and serve!"

Zhang Delin's voice sounded in an instant, and in an instant, the entire scene was quiet.

The name of this scene is "Will Shake the Mountains and Rivers", and it is a traditional repertoire performed by the old man.

Two shouts followed, accompanied by a shadow puppet figure in the shape of a general.

For the people in Hugou Village, the old voice is never tired of watching, even if everyone already knows what to sing next.

"The order will shake the mountains and rivers!"

"Man in armor and saddle immediately!"

"Big and small people shout!"

"Urge the men and horses to the front!"

Everyone seemed to have returned to that era, and when they saw the general standing on the podium, they gave an order, and the big and small children in the audience shouted in unison.

Majestic and mighty.

Huayin's old dialect must be sung in the local dialect in order to sing that momentum and sing that feeling.

Zhang He was full of emotion in his heart, such a good thing must not be broken.

"It's Haojie urging the horse to advance!"

"The outpost soldier reported it!"

At the end of a performance, everyone walked out from behind the scenes.

"Master, we will play this scene when the time comes, and there is momentum. Zhang He said with a smile.

Zhang Delin didn't have any ideas, everything was up to his grandson, he just nodded.

"All grandfathers have worked hard, this time to apply for intangible cultural heritage, I made my own opinion, but it has affected everyone. Zhang He turned his head and said to the other old men.

"Xiao He, it's okay if you have this heart, where to sing is not to sing, if you really stay, I can't wait to sing everywhere. Zhang Deyun smiled heartily.

"You just don't say it, we don't sing it in the village every day. The other old people laughed too.

It's a good thing to be able to cooperate, if you don't cooperate, Zhang He may have to do ideological work, but to do ideological work for these elders, Zhang He's head will be bigger.

"Grandpa Deyun, I'll deal with it over there at Xiyue Temple, you just need to get ready. Zhang He said slowly.

He felt in his heart that there was no problem with this performance, at least he couldn't find fault with it.

The old men have rich performance experience, and I don't know how many years they have been singing in a play, and nothing will go wrong.

Stayed in the village for a few days, waiting for news from Liu Xingwu.

The phone rang, and Zhang He picked it up.

"Zhang He, come to the city, the news has spread, and this temple fair is going to be lively. Liu Xingwu's tone was a little embarrassed.

Zhang He didn't let this guy wait too long, and drove over directly.

The Cultural Affairs Bureau is next to the county government and is a small building.

The car drove to the door, and Liu Xingwu walked out of it.

There are not many things to do in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and Liu Xingwu is also on official business, so it doesn't affect him when he comes out at work.

"What's going on?" Zhang He asked.

Liu Xingwu sighed and said: "The matter of intangible cultural heritage has been spread, and now everyone is staring at this position, we thought of performing at the temple fair, and other families also thought of it." ”

Xiyue Temple is a famous scenic spot in Huayin, according to legend, it was built in the Han Dynasty, covers an area of 124,000 square meters, enshrines the Xiyue Huashan soldier god Jin Tianwang, is the holy place of Taoism Quanzhen.

Every time there is a temple fair, the crowd on Yuemiao Street is surging, in the past, the street was all kinds of juggling, and people walking the rivers and lakes would beg for a bite to eat on the street.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and everyone competes with each other.

"Who's there?" Zhang He asked.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.

"Let's not talk about Qin Yan, the people are thriving, and the leaders have already personally gone over to inspect it, and Qin Yan will definitely be selected. Liu Xingwu said slowly.

Zhang He nodded, there is no need to compete with Qin Yan, the family is big, there is no decline at all, but there are fewer people listening, and he can go to the Spring Festival Gala of the provincial TV station every year.

"The most important thing is shadow puppetry, and the old style is also shadow puppetry. Liu Xingwu's face was a little unpleasant.

"It's okay, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, if we are really unlucky, we can also think of another idea, don't tell the old man of my family about this matter at that time." Zhang He's face was indifferent.

This time is to test the waters, don't get your hopes up.

Compared with these bigwigs, the old man is still too weak, with few people and little money, and he doesn't have a big audience.

"If you know it in your heart, I'll arrange it here. Liu Xingwu nodded.

Zhang He returned to the village, feeling a little heavy, but did not tell anyone else.

A few days later, Liu Xingwu's text message came, and Zhang He found an ox cart from the village and pulled the equipment into the city.

He only has one car, which can't fit so many people, let alone carry props.

There were also many people at the temple fair, so Zhang He simply didn't drive, and ran to the city in an ox cart.

The old cow works hard, and the speed is slow, but it is better to pull more things, and it is only a few kilometers away from the city, and the ox cart can also arrive.

The old people in the village have long been accustomed to this appearance, and there is nothing difficult about it.

Riding in an ox cart is a rarity for Zhang He.

Since he went to college, he rarely rode in an ox cart, waited until he graduated to work, and then started his own business, and the city was mostly bicycles and motorcycles.

I saved some money, and without saying a word, I got on a Santana.

When I bought a car, I felt distressed for a while, and it cost tens of thousands of yuan for a full set, but having a car is different, and the money earned through the car has long exceeded the value of the car.

Zhang He is visionary, capable, and modest, typical of other people's children, and is a role model in the village.

Now it's time to take Delimban into the city to perform, and some children in the village are also clamoring to keep up.

The children sat on the back of their bikes or on the beams in front of them, and the elders of the family rode their bikes into town.

When I arrived at Yuemiao Street, there was a commotion.

When they got to the street, the ox cart couldn't get in, and there were people in the village who were watching it, and others also parked their carts here for people to see.

I went out in the morning and arrived at Yuemiao Street at eight o'clock.

The streets are crowded with people, and the roadside vendors occupy the road, and everyone eats together, and no one cares.

The temple fair is a tradition, and the chengguan personnel are also on the side to maintain order.

Zhang He hasn't been here for some days, and this year he can still see those gangster artists juggling shirtless on the side of the road.

The barber shop on the side of the road, set up a bench, a clipper and scissors in hand, and cut hair for two dollars a piece.

There are also some shops selling gadgets on the side of the road.

With China's accession to the WTO and its entry into the international market, there have been more foreigners visiting China, and people from other places have also come to play.

Locals don't care about these special products, and foreigners buy them back to keep a souvenir, and I'm afraid they won't come back for a second time in this life.

Zhang He and his entourage attracted the attention of many people, after all, a group of old men with guys in their hands were very eye-catching.

Some of their peers watched them vigilantly, but no one took the initiative.
