Chapter 313: The Elephant's Equatorial Life (Part II)

Drama, at least in the time of the ancient Three Emperors, has appeared.

After the collapse of the Five Dragons Clan and the chaos in the world....

During the period of the Three Emperors of the Ancient World, that is, the three eras of Wangshu, Yuejian, and Jufang, people fought against the mountains and the earth in order to find land and a place to live, and suffered countless deaths and injuries just to have a "home" where they could live.

The period of the Three Emperors of Taigu was the most magnificent and difficult era after the collapse of the Five Dragons, and the changes of the times can be seen from the names of these three emperors.

Hope to catch prey to satisfy the stomach, Yue Jian, survey the mountains and rivers and measure the land, Jufang, looking for the field to live in.

The area of activity of the Three Ancient Emperors was in Yuedi from Jianghuai to the south, and at the time of their appearance, in the later years, in the Central Plains, because of the collapse of the Five Dragons, there were also three leaders in the Central Plains, and they were called the Three Ancient Emperors.

That is, the Suiren clan, the Chao clan, and the Zhisheng clan.

The old sage called the three of them the "Three Emperors", and the three ancient emperors of Yuedi, because the age is a little older than them, many things have become legends and difficult to verify.

As for the lower three emperors, they are the three emperors of the well-known three emperors and five emperors, that is, the three clans, with the "Shiben" as the standard, that is, the Fuxi clan, the Shennong clan, and the Xuanyuan clan.

Fuxi opened the fishing and hunting calendar, Shennong began farming and primitive economy, and Xuanyuan began written description, dress etiquette, and commercial trade.

So far, a complete production chain, after the Yellow Emperor, has been able to flourish, and because of the great era in which the three emperors lived, heroes were like stars in an endless stream, so Emperor Shixi, Taihao, Jilu, Zhurong, Gonggong, Nuwa, Zhu Xiang, Yin Kang, Titing, Chiyou, Zhenmeng and others were once called "emperors or emperors".

The Suiren clan solved the food, the Chao clan solved the residence, and the Zhisheng clan taught people to start mulberry hemp weaving to produce things, and the age of the three ancient emperors was close to that of the ancient three emperors, and at the end of the era of the ancient three emperors, there was a play.

The play at this time is a sacrificial activity.

After receiving the big game and the small grain harvest, people will gather around the campfire, and the wise man of the tribe, that is, the shaman, will lead everyone to do some strange prayers, and there are certain people who go up to dance, and the tribe still has this activity, but the name of this activity is "sacrificial dance", or "god dance", not "play".

And Ling, this well-known "lowly actor" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was actually a "music official" during the Yellow Emperor period. Ling Lun was a music official who was used by the Yellow Emperor.

————

For drama, it seems to be extremely unfamiliar.

Yu Zai told Xiang that this kind of thing is a derivative of song and dance, and it is also an idea of his, since Xiang likes to play, and as Xiongtao said, in terms of play, he seems to be focused, then, Yu Zai told Xiang that if he is interested in play, he should give it a try.

Shadow puppetry, the initial shadow puppet naturally could not be as exquisite as the back, at the beginning it was just a rough cowhide woven with linen, pressed behind with a wooden stick, illuminated with light and shadow, and made various movements.

One or two people, to complete a full set of lines, in fact, the foundation of shadow puppetry is not much simpler than that of stage plays.

Tired, that's for sure.

But this kind of small shadow puppet, no matter in any era, can be very interesting to young people.

I still remember when I was young, the shadow puppet people wandering around the entrance of the village, the magical accent and tone, the fascinating old story, the children cried and shouted to learn the craft, and then they were spanked by the adults, telling them that it was useless to learn this thing, but the adults often watched it with relish themselves in that era of lack of entertainment.

This is what Yu Zai planned for the elephant after observing it for many days, a tentative direction.

+1 for the Big Artist?

Maybe you can look forward to it.

Sure enough, Xiang was very interested in this.

And ten days, for the elephant, from the beginning to the mastery, seems to be a bit rushed, the elephant's forehead also appeared fine beads of sweat, but Yu Zai encouraged him, and told him that the autumn festival after ten days is a public sacrifice, and each family decided to make a sacrifice in the public field before their own sacrifice, if the elephant can make a name for itself in this sacrifice, then .....

It is definitely impossible to honor the ancestors, but at least there is no problem with the fame, the reputation of the south has gone out, and combined with the fact that all tribes have had a bumper harvest in recent years, the stomach is full, and naturally there is a little simple demand for entertainment.

When there is not enough to eat, no entertainment can exist, but as long as there is a full meal, entertainment will be generated, conform to the torrent of the times, mixed with the dust of the years, and become an indelible spirit and culture.

"I'm sure I'll come up with a story!"

Xiang was told by Yu Zai that to do this play, whether it is a shadow puppet play or a stage play, first of all, shadow puppets need materials, and the stage needs people, and now the relationship between Xiang and many people in the tribe is not good, and for this aspect of the play, Xiang doesn't even know the basic sacrificial songs and dances, and still needs others to teach it.

Therefore, of course, the stage play cannot be revealed at this time, after all, the TV program will only be converted to a live-action version when the ratings are high.... Although the live-action version is cheaper in this era, but in view of the fact that everyone will not....

Yu Zai told Xiang "Cowhide, ask the hunting team, at least two, and then go to the cultivated field, find Youhou's totem, let the gods help you bless, but you have to offer a cowhide as a tribute, after that, you need a thin linen, you have to go to the weaving house to find Yu Jing and their girls, and be careful of Yu Xu, afraid that he will not pay attention to give you the cowhide to rot ....."

"Then you have to go to the blacksmith shop to find Yijun and Yu Pan and ask them to help you carve shadow puppets and make a large wooden stage and box, and then you need to go to the mill to get oil to make the cowhide soaked and smooth, and then you need to find a man who is very good at singing and dancing....."

Yu Zai gave Xiang a large chain of tasks, and it is conceivable that if Xiang was playing an RPG game, then the gray question mark on Yu Zai's head must have been a long list.

The maximum number of tasks that can be accepted has been reached....!

The elephant was dazed when he heard it, and he started the game and retreated, and made a reason for himself, and said to Yu Zai: "This is too troublesome.... If I still don't go, I probably won't be able to do this..."

Yu Zai looked at him: "I'll tell you a story." ”

"A long, long time ago, there was an Emperor of Heaven, who became the Emperor of Heaven for three years, and was indulging in pleasures, and all the wicked men of the world rose up and danced, and all the good people of the world were suffering, and there were great kings and emperors in all directions, but he turned a deaf ear, and still lived on the high mountain, until one day, his assistant told him that there was a bird that stopped on the southern Fushan Mountain, and for three years did not spread its wings, did not fly, did not chirp, and was silent......

That is naturally the story of "blockbuster", but King Chuzhuang is metaphorically referred to as an even more ancient nameless emperor, as if listening to it, the original somewhat evasive mood has begun to gradually recover.

In so many days, Xiang also began to reflect that he had a bad relationship with anyone, in fact, it turned out that in the end, only his eldest brother had helped and forgiven himself.

If a person is incompetent, it is like this, as if he has already had a little bit of reflection, but he is far from painful reflection, and sometimes he still blames others.

But after Yu Zai finished telling this story, Xiang did not speak for a long time, until Yu Zai stood up, and Xiang looked up and asked:

"Wu, have you ever worked so hard?"

Yu Zai looked at him, then looked into the distance, pointed to Nanqiu's thriving appearance, and said:

"You see, everything I have, it's here. ”
