We're going to the tick bar again, it's a veritable place for entertainment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the meantime, the wind and the moon are on the platform, the silk pipe, the miscellaneous tricks are famous, the flattering and the competition for beauty, the orchestra is silky and bamboo, and there is a sound. All kinds of performances, bringing forth the new, everything, fascinating, and curious, very good-looking. All kinds of hundreds of plays are endless, dazzling, shocking, throwing five swords, jumping sword pills, walking ropes, climbing high poles, walking tightropes, swallowing swords, magic performances, it is really "a hundred plays in front of the competition, pill sword jumping and throwing frost and snow floats". We were fascinated, relished, dizzying, stunned, lingering, eye-opening, and forgetful.

Hearing the thunderous applause over there, we hurried forward and watched it carefully, it turned out that this was a seemingly simple, but in fact extremely mysterious trick with wine utensils and wine as the content - called "Fugui Xian Wine". The dashing handsome ancient juggling man stood with a smile on his face, holding an open wine jug and a small wine glass, and showed them to the audience one by one, and looked like the spout of the jug was facing down, only to see that it was empty, and not a drop of wine flowed out. In order to make everyone see it more clearly, he used a bamboo chopstick to insert it from the mouth of the pot to the bottom of the pot, and the bamboo chopsticks were still dry after being taken out, just to prove to the audience that the pot was empty. Then he turned the spout of the pot upside down and took the wine glass, and to his surprise, the wine continued to flow out of the otherwise empty wine jug, and in a moment it took him to fill the glass. Then he blew the fairy breath into the flask again, and then turned the flask downward, but the wine was gone. And when he blew on the pot, the wine continued to flow. And when he poured the wine back into the jug, he saw that the wine in the jug was overflowing the spout. Finally, he blew into the jug, only to see the jug disappear suddenly. The audience was amazed. This magical illusion comes and goes, unpredictable, and incomparably mysterious, which is really incomprehensible.

It was so lively here, and there was a wave of applause over there, and we followed the sound to move over, and it turned out to be a performance of a water puppet. This kind of performance is performed by the movement of a hydraulic mechanism. The theater of the water puppet is open-air and consists of three parts: a theater, a stage, and an auditorium. The stage is a large wooden pond that is more than one zhang long, one zhang wide, and more than two feet deep, with tin inlay and no leakage, and the water is seven points full, but the water inside is slightly muddy. The theater where the puppets are manipulated is closed, separated by a screen, and the people who control the organs behind are all inside the screen. In order to make the puppets surface, they are made of miscellaneous wood such as figs and yellow heart wood, and these wooden people are different from each other, about 40 cm high, with five-color paint and colorful paintings. Their hands can swing up and down, and their bodies and heads can rotate freely. There is a balance seat under the puppet body, which is also a buoy, which is the place where the puppet mechanism is installed, and a rope and hook are installed under the seat, and there is a long rod under the seat, and the people inside can use water power to pull the rope and manipulate the rod to control the puppet at will. These wooden puppets can sing and dance, are flexible, ever-changing, walking, sitting and lying, just like real people, the most wonderful, they can even blink and flicker big eyes, it is really amazing, it is really a step up from the robots of our modern society, because they are a pile of scrap metal without electricity.

The performance of the water puppet is slowly unfolded in an extremely warm and noisy atmosphere, first blowing and beating, and the performance of big gongs and drums is similar to the noisy stage of Chinese opera. Then the water puppet horns came to life, which was really beautiful, but this was the first time I watched these puppet shows on the water, because with the change of time, the water puppets disappeared after the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is still fun in ancient times, and the entertainment and cultural activities of the people of the Great Song Dynasty are really colorful.

The repertoire performed by these water puppets is the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and the dreamlike music resounded in the ears. In the dense water vapor, a miniature wooden boat sailed out, looming in the lotus pond, and the live fish, shrimp, crab, snail, frog, loach, eel, and weed in the water floated leisurely on the water, dragons and snakes danced, fish and ducks leaped, and even those pink lotus flowers were real, and with fresh dewdrops. True and false, virtual and real, people are drunk with flaws, dazzled, and dumbfounded, which can be described as colorful. I saw that the beautiful boat had a small colorful building, and there were three small doors under it, facing the water. With a squeak, the door of the color shed opened, and the small and exquisite eight immortals made of those small puppets pushed the door out, and officially appeared on the stage. Moreover, the Eight Immortals of Wood will not only play beautiful fairy music, but also be very flexible and free, jumping into the water for a while, and then churning out of the water wetly, which is unexpected, and everyone can't help but applaud. This wood eight immortals are even more triumphant to put the immortal wine in the hands of everyone accurately, it is really fragrant wine, fairy music is curling, I also leisurely drank a cup, of course, it is indispensable to give the wooden man a few pennies to reward, the fairy also wants money to support the family, it is really breathtaking.

I remembered the thunderous cheers over there, and it turned out that the performance of the medicine puppet began, and the medicine puppet, also known as fire play, pole fire, and frame fire, was a popular puppet show in the Northern Song Dynasty of China. As the main ingredient of gunpowder, the knowledge and preparation methods of flame nitrate and sulfur have been mastered by the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, so the appearance of "fireworks" is more of a dazzling new thing in the hundred operas. Its production is complicated, not only need colorful fireworks to be laid out, but also need to use bamboo as the bone, but also according to the size of the noble and cheap with copper wire, iron wire as the bone, with a special peach blossom paper brushed through layers of alum water for clothing, twine for the puppet complement each other. To make the arch pillar of the building, it is necessary to coat the medicine with a paper tube. To make characters and beasts, use bamboo circles for horizontal bones, threads for straight bones, and then load coaxing drugs and tight medicines for different purposes to make different scenes, dyed with colors, large or small, square or round, flattened into "soft instruments", and then add paper tubes, which can be ignited and launched into the sky to start the performance.

And the first performance of the medicine puppet we saw was a group of beasts dancing around, all of which were made of five-colored silk yarn, but the color painting was very realistic. There are elephants, tigers, rhinoceros, lions, black bears, white birds, red leopards, yellow birds, and some cute firebirds, fire rats, all of which are different and different. These animals have smoke in their noses, spit fire in their mouths, jump up and down, and the sound resounded through the sky, like thunder and lightning, the earth collapsed and landslided, the black fog soared into the sky, the fire was everywhere, the thunderbolt was several sounds, and the smoke was scattered. Particularly spectacular is a green dragon under the flickering and hovering of countless fireballs, how Menggui's "Lantern and Night Music and Dance" "The sky is blue and the galaxy wants to come down, and the east wind blows the moon upstairs." Yumei snow willow thousands of families are noisy, and fire trees and silver flowers bloom for ten miles. The purple phoenix sheng is loud, and the yellow dragon is dancing and the shadow is lingering. The incense car is red and soft, and the copper kettle is leaking arrows. "The golden snake danced wildly, soared and danced down, turned its head and tail, stirred the sea and turned the river, turned over a hundred and ten tendons, shining, and radiant. The sound resounded through the sky, like the rumbling sound of popping beans. The dragon spit out dozens of moon cannons, like big beads and small beads, scattered all over the ground, and yellow smoke came out between the scales and armor all over the body, lingering for a long time. For example, Song Qi's "Lantern Night, Telling Tourists is Prosperous": "In front of the fire tree, the mountain and the phoenix, the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital belongs to the New Year." Fireworks and Changchun country, the sun and the moon move never night. The plum blossoms on the road are crispy and the tubes are full of apricots. It must be known that Jun will be happy with everyone, and don't sigh that Qin Hou sleeps. Such as Yang ****'s "Interpretation of Flowers" - "The star bridge is at night, the fire trees are open at night, and the lights and moonlight are intertwined." Eaves copper tile. Reflecting each other, faintly drifting down. Elegant and elegant. Xiang Liu Mo and Xian Xian. During the feast, drink fragrant mash frequently, and the treasure duck sprays musk deer. It's all night of fun. The time can be painted, and the leaf is promoted. Mandarin lantern Shipa. Swim and watch, and gallop everywhere. Ten thousand for also. But good things are hard to thank. Listen to the songs of Jiuqu and the three cities, and wait until dawn. ”

Then came the performance of a hundred flowers, and the beams of light suddenly exploded, full of colors, including gold, silver, red, green, blue, and star-like flowers flying in all directions, dazzling. There are several pear blossoms and several apricot blossoms. Open again, several peonies, really a hundred flowers, compete for beauty, like a real flower in general, lifelike, fascinating, very good-looking, for a time the fire is full of fire, it is really the fire tree silver flower does not night sky, the colorful red fire in the night sky is extraordinarily beautiful and enchanting, the fireworks are blooming, colorful, the fire is shining, dazzling, and the fireworks on the water are colorful, the lotus flowers on the water are in full bloom, the golden flowers are shining, the fireworks are flying in the air, suddenly blooming, bright and colorful, the jade tree Qionghua, competing for the strange and gorgeous, and the dark blue night reflects each other。 Just like Zhao Mengfu's "Fireworks", "Yulu copper kettle and don't urge, the star bridge fire tree is open." All kinds of puppets are delusional, which makes visitors laugh back. and his "The Gift of Fireworks" - "The ingenuity of the world, refining medicine and lighting the lamp is the same as the day." The catkins fly and the remnants are paved white, and the peach blossoms are full of red. They are as brilliant as starfalls, and Huo Huo is chasing like fire. The night after that, turn over the flowers on the brocade, and do not worry about the chaos to the east wind. ”

The last track is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which is simply vivid: first two strings of Baizi whips, and then a burst of Venus falling like rain, suddenly flying out of the "fireworks box" A man and a woman, breaking out of the box, shining the needle, that is the cowherd puppet holding the cow, the weaver girl puppet leaning on the loom, slowly drooping. This puppet is naturally a wooden man, and he can move flexibly and freely, and he doesn't know how these dexterous gunpowder mechanisms work accurately, and forty-nine birds and magpies rose next to him, high and low, up and down, arranged in formation, bent into a bridge shape, spread their wings, and came to life. Waiting for the music to sound in unison, the fairy music is leisurely, sonorous and audible, suddenly the cowherd gives up the cow and rises, the weaver girl leaves the machine and goes up, meets the magpie bridge, so the people and the magpie sparks together, resounding through the sky, wearing the stars and wearing flames, splashing in all directions. Finally, the wisps of white smoke with a faint smell of gunpowder slowly dissipated, and the lights exploded, scattering into sparks all over the ground, which was really colorful and soundful, full of fun, and breathtaking. Each has its own merits and characteristics. It's really "the secret recipe is passed down to the fine cultivation, and the national workers are good at it." or overhung or deeply buried, or hidden in the brocade letter. The song stops drinking and wants to dance for half a month, and the glimmer is as thin as a line. With a thunderclap, the city opened, and Vientiane surged in the sky. Suddenly become a tree, suddenly a tower, suddenly a city wall, and suddenly a palace. Suddenly, like a scholar and a girl swimming together, suddenly like a fish and a dragon competing for Manyan. Suddenly, the valley was slammed, and the ambushes attacked each other. Suddenly, a horse burst into flames, and Changhong flew away with lightning. The artillery cart shook the earth's axis under the earthquake, and the planet shot up the zenith and pierced. ”

After watching the performance in a fit of fascination, we walked forward with a smile and a smile.
