Chapter 109: The Great Yangge
In the Northeast, in the first month of the year, no matter in towns or villages, there are cheerful and lively suona, gongs and drums of the Yangge team.
At the beginning of the first month, every household is busy paying New Year's greetings, and generally "running Yangge" begins on the second day of the new year. The form of the performance is mainly New Year's greetings.
The Northeast Yangge was in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, by the exiled to the northern part of the prisoner artist scribes, the mainland opera song and dance to the Northeast, to the Qianjia period, this kind of singing and dancing activities and the warm style of the Northeast people combined, formed a unique stable, stem, warped style of Yangge dance, but also gradually formed Yangge music, by gongs, drums, cymbals, suona and so on to play the tune.
The dances in the Northeast include Yangge, dragon lanterns, dry boats, butterfly fluttering, two-person wrestling, playing flower sticks, stepping on stilts, etc., which are mostly performed together, collectively known as "Yangge". Yangge has a smooth melody, a cheerful and concise rhythm, and its scenes are prosperous and the dances are rich.
Northeast Yangge is the artistic wealth created and accumulated by the working people in the north for a long time, it originated from the labor life of planting rice and cultivating the fields, and is related to the ode and song sung when praying for a good harvest and praying for blessings and disasters in ancient times, and in the process of development, it continues to absorb the skills and forms of agricultural songs, lingge, folk martial arts, acrobatics and opera, so as to develop a kind of folk song and dance today.
Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, Li Zhongxin's grandmother got up early to dress up and prepare to go to the small square in the center of the village to twist Yangge.
The countryside is different from the city, there is no excitement during the New Year, and few have TVs, so twisting Yangge is the best entertainment activity for them during the New Year.
Dressed in red and green clothes, with two big fans dedicated to twisting Yangge, Li Zhongxin saw his grandmother wearing this outfit, and he suddenly felt that the character of twisting Yangge appeared in front of him vividly.
Because the grandmother in the family went to the small square to twist the big Yangge, all the old and young in the family went out to the small square to cheer for the grandmother.
After arriving at the small square in the center of Xinglin Village, Li Zhongxin saw that the people in the village were basically all out to come here to see Yangge.
The Northeast Yangge is very lively, and the gongs and drums are even louder when the Yangge is performed in the first month.
Those who step on stilts step on stilts, those who dance fan dances, and those who perform various characters perform their own wonderful.
Li Zhongxin is still the first time to see the big Yangge in the countryside, and he even has a feeling of dizziness.
After a while, he watched his grandmother's performance, and he saw that his grandmother's appearance was very funny, humorous, funny, and witty, giving people the comfort of beauty such as eyes and pretty.
Her knees are relaxed, her ankles are slightly hooked, she kicks back, and she lands on the ground, and her knees are slightly controlled, forming a dynamic feature with "lining" and a free and flowing beauty.
Listening to the familiar tone of the two people turning their hats in later generations, it is the New Year in the first month! The first day of the new year......
Li Zhongxin's heart suddenly thought at this time that the Northeast two-person transfer is not yet popular in the country, should he build a big stage for the two-person turn, dig up the mountain to his hands, and promote the Northeast two-person transfer to the whole country first?
For the development of the two of them after decades, Li Zhongxin is very optimistic.
The two people turned, known as Xiaoyangge, double play, bouncing, also known as the mouth, double side song, wind willow, spring song, half-class opera, Northeast local opera, etc.
It is rooted in the folk culture of Northeast China and belongs to the Chinese singing genre, which is popular in the three cities and one league in the east of LN, JL, HLJ, NMG and the northeast of HB Province.
The Northeast characteristics of the two-person turn mainly come from the Northeast Yangge and HB's lotus fall.
In the witty words of the Northeast people: the two of them turned to "Yangge as the base, and the lotus flower fell on the edge". Lotus Fall, also known as "Luozi", is a kind of folk rap art in northern China, singing and dancing while talking.
is similar to Li Zhongxin when he saw his grandmother twisting the big Yangge in the small square, and the best twisting the big Yangge is basically able to serve as a two-person actor.
However, Li Zhongxin thought that this kind of traditional folk art would rise sooner or later, and this kind of art would not help him in the future.
Besides, an eleven-year-old kid forming a big stage for two-person rotation is too ostentatious, and if you have that time, it is definitely better to do more of his comic studio and make more RB money at this time! In later generations, although the two-person turn has risen and brought countless joys to people, the art form of the two-person turn has always been regarded by most people as a vulgar thing, and has not brought any good effect to the country, the most important point is that Li Zhongxin feels that if he gets involved in this matter at this time, after a few years, I am afraid that there will be nothing to do in Zhao Na He Shan in the future. This kind of thing, he feels that if he can't change it, he won't change it.
It was a matter of the morning, and basically by noon, everyone had gone home.
The custom here in the Northeast is that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the married daughter will take her husband and children back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
And on this day, the daughter who returns to her parents' house must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to her parents' children, and have lunch at her parents' house.
Since the daughter returns to her parents' house and does not return to her parents' house as a single gift, because the singular number is traditionally considered unlucky, the gifts that the son-in-law brings back to her parents' house must be in pairs.
When the second aunt's family who married into Toulin Town arrived home, all the relatives on my grandmother's side would be gone.
When a large family was eating this reunion dinner in full swing and looking forward to the past eight or three years, Li Zhongxin asked Wang Bo to roughly express his thoughts.
Regarding Wang Bo's saying that he wanted the whole family to move to Jiangcheng, except for Li Zhongxin's unmarried aunt Wang Yajie who agreed and was ready to go to Jiangcheng to develop, no one thought of Jiangcheng anymore.
Li Zhongxin's grandmother directly told Wang Bo that they had just cleared more than a dozen hectares of wasteland here, and the land brigade also said that at the beginning of the eighty-third year, it would be officially distributed to their families.
With these lands, their family will also live well in Xinglin Village, and they will feel uncomfortable in a strange place like Jiangcheng.
In the whole Xinglin Village, they know everyone, and the neighbors around them are better like a family, and when they have time, they can get together and talk about the east and west, and when they get to Jiangcheng, they talk to whom.
Li Zhongxin's grandfather likes to watch small cards, this kind of thing is played by people in the countryside, and when he gets to Jiangcheng, he can't do anything.
According to Li Zhongxin's grandmother's words, if they really moved to a place like Jiangcheng where there were no acquaintances, they would have to suffocate to death. She can't talk about the family and the west, can't make a garden to grow small vegetables, can't twist the big Yangge and do some farm work that she has become accustomed to, and the old man can't read the small cards, so their life will lose its vitality.
If they have time, there is no problem in going to Jiangcheng and staying for a while, but if they want to move to Jiangcheng, they will not move.
As soon as Li Zhongxin's grandmother expressed his position, several of Li Zhongxin's uncles also expressed their attitudes, they were all married, and their daughter-in-law's family lived in the surrounding Tunzi, and it would be inconvenient for them to move back and forth if they moved to Jiangcheng.
What's more, they don't do anything except farming, and if they don't have anything to do there, they are even more troubled, so it's better to accompany their old parents in the countryside and do their filial piety.
Wang Bo's good words were a lot of words, but they didn't touch everyone's hearts, and Li Zhongxin had no choice but to give up when he saw this.
Li Zhongxin's aunt Wang Yajie agreed with Wang Bo that after the first lunar month, she would take a car to Jiangcheng to develop, and after arriving in Jiangcheng, she would first settle down at Li Zhongxin's house, and when the work was stable, she was looking for a house to move out.
Li Zhongxin's second aunt left the phone number of the Toulin Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and she told Wang Bo that if there was really the kind of supply that Wang Bo said, she was going to open a grocery store in Toulin Town.
Li Zhongxin saw such a situation, and he immediately figured it out, many things cannot be forced, and the twisted melon is not sweet. Instead of getting grandma and them to Jiangcheng to enjoy happiness, it is better to wait for a year and a half to have a car, and often take them to Jiangcheng to enjoy happiness.
If they still insist on living in Xinglin at that time, it can only follow their wishes. Li Zhongxin always has an idea that in this life, people have power and money, these are all fake, and a happy and happy life is real.
