Chapter 860: Song and Dance Drama

Led by a guide car, the performers on the chariot performed the action of beating the leather drum in a wild dance, and the dancers on both sides approached the center of the stage step by step with their axes and halberd shields.

When the team finally came together, the music became more intense, with the sound of swords clashing in between.

The dance has also become crazy and agitated, and from time to time there are dancers who are thrown around, falling, and struggling in the crowd, interpreting the tragedy and cruelty of war.

There were fewer and fewer people standing and dancing, and in the end, Chiyou's side was completely wiped out, and the actor of Chiyou was raised high by several actors with his back to the sky, frozen in frame.

The music ends with Chi You's unwilling roar, and the lights go out.

The shocking effect of the large-scale dance at the beginning shocked everyone in Lijiagou with a breathlessness, and everyone held a handful of sweat in their palms, as if the decisive battle of the world thousands of years ago happened vividly in front of them.

Then the mournful music sounded, and a green mountain and green water appeared on the background screen, and a team of bamboo rafts came from the clear water full of rhododendrons, and the stage was bright, but a layer of dry ice smoke appeared.

In the Miao family's "Requiem Song", several bamboo rafts floated out of the picture from the left side of the background, and then propped up from the left side of the stage, and the background also secretly changed with their movements.

The performers on the bamboo raft are dressed in Miao costumes, old and young, supporting each other with difficulty.

The first old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the green mountains in the background, and the people on the bamboo raft looked up, and the dance was full of hope again.

The bamboo raft comes to the center of the stage, the dancers come down, and the bamboo raft continues forward, disappearing to the right side of the stage.

People were so weak and tired that many could not stand up.

Ayin's tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and she covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that her crying would affect the people around her.

The same people, as well as Aunt Miao, as well as Ah Dai, and Uncle Ah Chong, many people couldn't help but burst into tears.

It was a transitional dance, the dancers' movements slowly recovered from stiff and difficult to natural and powerful, and finally in the ethereal music, the audience found that although the actors danced continuously, they all rose into the air!

In the background, the film is a shot of flying up the cliff, the waterfall on the cliff, the strange rocks, and the pine trees that grow horizontally, constantly moving downward.

Although the actors do not continue to rise after reaching a certain height, the whole visual effect is as if the actors are constantly rising in the air.

This is an idealized aesthetic dance, it seems that after the two tragic tracks of "The Battle of the Deer" and "The Wandering", the director can't bear to depict the arduous process of climbing the cliff after Jiuli, and transforms it into a beautiful vision in a dream and an infinite yearning for a fairyland on earth.

Li Junge couldn't help but nod secretly, Si Xingzhun's idea definitely came from the introduction of the silk painting in the Chu tomb, which was wonderful.

Then the actors descended slowly, but due to the cooperation of the background, it seemed that they continued to rise, but the speed slowed down, and finally fell to the top of the cliff.

The Hanging Cliff in its original state has arrived.

The Miao people cheered, but the leader who led them exhausted his efforts and finally fell.

The Miao people were grieved, and handed over the patriarch's axe to the heir, surrounded his body with wooden shields on all sides, made a wooden coffin, and held a funeral for him.

Several young Miao people climbed the cliff and struggled to pull the dead patriarch up the cliff.

The mournful song sounded, and it was still a requiem song, but this time the song became Chinese.

"Ancestors who led horses and dragged oxen,

Staggered across the Wuxi River......

The top of the green mountain on the Longtian cliff,

Sit down on our grass nest......

Attracted clear cave water,

Burned out the sunny slope of the manure......

Ploughed out the terraced fields full of mountains,

planted a shiny golden barley barley......

ushered in a newborn baby,

Sent away the old Kava who was decrepit......

Shake the horse in the woods by the mountainside,

Singing under the moon in the open dam......

The top of the green mountain on the Longtian cliff,

Sit down on our grass nest......

The ancestors of the horses and the oxen,

Waddled across the Wuxi River......"

The sad atmosphere infected everyone, the Li Jiagou people and the Miao family were already close, and now they feel the same way, and many people's tears finally fell.

But the next dance became romantic.

This is a pas de deux, showing the process of the silly grandmother and Demao Gong meeting and falling in love with each other by the Wuxi River, and finally becoming a couple and planting ancestral cherry blossoms together.

At the end of the dance, the background color becomes extremely bright, and the small ancestral cherry blossoms quickly grow and flourish in the beautiful dance of the two, and soon occupy and exceed the entire large screen in the process of cherry blossom blooming, and the cherry blossom petals are also floating on the stage, and the background and the stage are completely integrated.

The visual effects were extremely shocking, and the people of Li Jiagou, who were in a mood but still depressed, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they didn't know who started to take the lead in applauding, and then the crazy applause swept across the entire theater, almost toppling the roof!

This is their common ancestor, this is their roots! At this moment, everyone feels that they are connected to the people around them!

……

The next background is changed to the battlefield, with swords, swords, shadows, bloody rain, and bloody winds, while the front desk set is white walls and green tiles, green trees and yellow flowers, as if one in front and one behind, are two different worlds.

The war outside the mountain is still chaotic, and the village is as quiet as water.

Several children sat behind their desks in front of the tiled house on one side of the stage, and Shen Qinggong was leading them to read and read.

This part of the performance is more like a pantomime, with soft tunes and the "Three Character Classic" in the background.

Children are completely undisturbed by the outside world and strive for knowledge from books.

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"

Shen Qingong returned from the field and brought grain, and the two brothers greeted him, and Shen Qinggong handed over the grain to the children for identification.

"Rice beams, wheat millet, these six grains, people eat ......"

Shen Qing taught the children to give Shen Qin Gong a salute, and then saluted each other.

"Father and son, husband and wife, brother is friend, brother is respectful......"

The children sat down again, and Shen Qinggong continued to teach, and Shen Qingong watched with satisfaction from the side.

"Through the scriptures, read the history, test the lineage, and know the end of the ......"

The children's voices on the small stage slowly rotated in the recitation, and with this exquisite background video, it was like a movie effect, and the camera shifted from Mengxue Hall to the entire Panao Township.

The chapter also shifted from "Farming and Reading Heirlooms" to "Xanadu".

Xanadu is created with hands, which is the theme of this song, which expresses the lively scene of agricultural labor, full of strength, prosperity and joy.

In the background screen, under the wild Bifeng Mountain, small houses, paddy fields, and dry land began to appear.

The land gradually expanded in all directions, and more and more houses were built, forming villages.

There are also more and more dancers on the stage, performing the content of the ancient song "Kik Song", self-cultivation.

"What is to me in Dili when the sun rises, when the sun rises, when the sun rises, when the sun rises, when the sun

As the night wore on, people finished their day's work and fell asleep.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the deep forest, and the murmuring of water and birds chirp in the background.

A young man from the Han family crossed the mountains and came to the deep mountains.

He seemed to be in a good mood, and his skills were very vigorous, climbing mountains, crossing ravines, gathering and hunting along the way, and going deeper and deeper.

A Miao girl was washing and dyeing cloth by the stream, and the young man rashly broke into her field of vision, causing shyness and resentment.

The young man was deeply attracted by the Miao girl and lingered by the stream.

Miao Nu splashed him with stream water, and the young man was awakened from his intuition by the stream, which caused Miao Nu to laugh coquettishly.

The two have a good impression of each other to gradually develop feelings, although the words are incomprehensible, it can be seen that the love hidden in the hearts of both parties.

This pas de deux dance is full of emotion and delicate, with elegant movements, strong men and light women, which is definitely the essence of the whole play.

Li Junge stretched out his hand to hold Ayin's hand, as if he felt the same way.

The two reluctantly parted, the young man continued his journey to the forest, and the girl continued with the rags.

When the girl returned to the village after finishing her work, she found a young man who had been bitten by a snake and was unconscious on the road.

Under the careful care of the girl, the young man recovered proudly.

However, good things are difficult to reconcile, and when the young man came to Miao Village again, what he faced was the difficulties of the Miao family.

"Breaking through the Customs" is actually a wonderful excerpt of Miao intangible cultural heritage acrobatics, such as going up the knife ladder, going down to the sea of fire, setting fire to the body, and climbing bamboo poles...... There is also a Miao family martial arts performance, which is also wonderful.

All the young man's projects were successful, and the audience's mood changed from nervous to relaxed, and it seemed that only the last hurdle was left.

Just when all the audience thought that it was done, the young man couldn't drink enough, and as a result, he got drunk and collapsed in front of the stockade, which accidentally caused a lot of exclamations and laughter from the audience.

The moonlight was sprinkled on the stage, and the Miao girl on the embroidery floor was weaving, singing the soft love song "Tell the Next Year" in her mouth.

The first time is in Hmong.

"Will embroider one,

Will sit all night.

What will happen to the New Year,

Who knows.

What will happen to the New Year,

Who knows......

will sit all night,

Will find a pair.

What will happen to the New Year,

Who knows.

What will happen to the New Year,

Who knows ...... the New Year"

The singing is gentle, delicate, full of worry, sadness and longing, although most of the audience can't understand the lyrics, they are infected by the cold moonlight and the mournful singing.

The second time is Chinese, and the tune has changed slightly, but when you hear it, you can see that it was born from the song just now.

"I am tired of walking and I can't think about it.

Who knows what it was like in those years......

The night is gone, and there is no rest.

Who knows what it was like in those years......

Remembering the gentleman, you can't think about it.

Who knows what it was in that year......"

At this moment, there was a birdsong, but it was the young man who touched the embroidery floor and sent a secret signal to the girl, and the girl saw that it was the young man, and hung the rope down from the embroidery floor, but when he was about to reach the ground, he was sent in his hand and fell into the young man's arms.

The two eloped overnight and made a private decision for life in the shirt forest.

If "Rescued Love" shows the budding love, ignorance and innocence, "Elopement" shows the unforgettable love, lingering and forgetful, which is even more intoxicating.

The two returned to Lijiagou, begged Shen Qinggong, Shen Qinggong took the courtship team, according to the Miao ceremony on the mountain, the patriarch of the village led the Miao people to meet each other for ten miles, after an interesting battle of wits and courage, the team finally successfully entered the Miao village, and the patriarch happily agreed to the marriage.

This dance, which integrates the wedding customs and reception etiquette of the Miao family into the dance, is actually the essence of the Miao culture.
