Chapter 441 The Music Journey of the Little White Dragon Troupe
Chapter 441 Little White Dragon Group Music Journey
The music tour hasn't officially started yet. They are on the front foot. Chen Ying's photography team didn't bring anyone with them. They only brought portable cameras to shoot and have fun.
It was not the first time for them to come to Dali, but they had not hired a tour guide before. Now they were listening to He Huan's talk about the history of Buddhism and Dali culture, which was refreshing and full of interest.
When other tourists saw them, they excitedly took photos and watched. This was a gathering of Yunzhou celebrities! This group of people will definitely do something big if they get together!
When he arrived at the Golden Wing Dapeng Square and listened to He Huan talk about the entanglement between dragons and Dali, Liang Ange suddenly realized, "Ah! So Duan Ju said you are a good dragon! That's right!"
Team leader Zhao smiled and said: "Yes! Xiao Bailong did encounter various obstacles when he came to our Dali."
Team leader Zhao hugged his shoulders distressedly, "I have suffered a lot of misunderstandings and grievances, but he is broad-minded and talented. He broke the old situation and opened up new paths. Now the entire Dali tourism circle likes him! He is indeed a good dragon.
!”
A group of people laughed.
After visiting the Three Pagodas, He Huan took them to the ancient city. To be precise, the teacher led the way and He Huan explained.
During He Huan's explanation, everyone learned that this very commercial ancient city has been filled with prosperity and war for thousands of years!
He Huan took them to pay homage to the Tianbao Warrior Tomb of the Tang Dynasty and the Dehua Monument of Nanzhao.
Liang Ange said: "I have been to Dali several times, but this is the first time I understand Dali. For this music trip, it is indeed right to go to Xiaobailong. You know these history and culture so well!"
In the evening, the tourist office entertained them.
On the 15th, He Huan went to Dali Airport to pick up the group under the white dragon flag. Liang Ange also got in the car. Chen Ying sat in the front seat, holding a camera.
Liang Ange took out a banner from his bag and unfolded it. Colorful musical notes composed of ethnic minority costumes formed the four characters "Music Journey".
He Huan smiled, "Teacher Liang, you are still prepared!"
"That's right!" Liang Ange waved the banner, "This was designed and made by our teacher Kong!"
He Huan was extremely impressed, "Teacher Qin is indeed a hairstylist who can design clothes!"
"Hahaha..." Liang Ange raised his head and laughed proudly.
Chen Ying filmed them, and the musical journey officially began.
One was holding a colorful music tour banner, and the other was carrying a white dragon flag. They appeared at the airport and immediately attracted onlookers.
Experts arrived one after another, and they were very happy to see these young people who attach great importance to traditional communication culture. Especially such a famous young man, so polite!
I shook hands with them and kept talking excitedly.
If Liang Ange hadn't accompanied them out and put them in the car, each of them could have stood there chatting all day.
When we arrived at the hotel, Teacher Qin received us and made arrangements. Many of these experts voluntarily spent their own money to discover and disseminate ethnic minority music, did a lot of rescue and protection work, and endured a lot of hardships. They had never received such warm and thoughtful reception.
Everyone was also very emotional. When we arrived at the hotel, we met old friends, gathered in the ethnic music and language circles, and chatted in the lobby. No one went back to their rooms.
The hotel also has a videographer taking photos.
The three of them spent a day at the airport, and several celebrities appeared at the small Dali Airport, which also caused a sensation.
Netizens are discussing:
【Little White Dragon Group Music Tour! Can I join?】
[Teacher Chen is filming! Will this be released? 】
【I’m so looking forward to it! Where can I watch it?】
[You can only watch Reuters now, right? When will it be available? Can you see it during the Chinese New Year?]
【Can’t wait! Can’t live broadcast? 】
【If I go to Dali now, can I meet them by chance? 】
Picking up the group at the Dali Airport was like three celebrities supporting Dali. Everyone in Dali was as happy as if it was the Chinese New Year!
The Spring City tourism circle is sore: Xiaobailong made Dali a tourist hub! He did exactly that! He also led the Yunhua team to advertise Dali!
Baoshan Tourism Bureau said: We must build a tourist distribution center as soon as possible! Then Xiao Bailong will bring them to our place to take pictures!
In the evening, the Propaganda Department of the State Party Committee and the Tourism Bureau hosted the music group.
Official receptions generally focus on high-end, but because Xiao Bailong has greeted them in advance, they are all special dishes. Considering that the experts come from different places, there are also popular dishes.
After finishing the meal, Duan Ju put his arm around Xiao Bailong's shoulders. He didn't drink much wine but was giddy with joy.
"Little Bailong! I told you last time that I wouldn't shoot a promotional video for Dali. I really wronged you! You came to shoot Dali first! Our number of inquiries has increased significantly during the winter vacation and Spring Festival. This peak season is definitely the busiest!"
He Huan smiled and nodded, "As long as Duan Ju is satisfied!"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Duan Ju patted him on the shoulder, "Everyone in Dali is satisfied! Everyone likes Xiao Bailong!"
The next morning, two pickup trucks were in front and behind, and four photographers were filming the exterior scenes. Chen Ying was in charge of the overall situation on the bus.
After the aircraft positions were arranged, He Huan asked the experts to get on the bus.
Duan Ju personally accompanied him and sat next to Qin Huai.
A music tour banner was hung on the car, and a white dragon flag was fluttering on the front of the car.
He Huan finally got on the bus, "I am Xiao Bailong, and this time my teacher and I will lead everyone on a twelve-day music journey!"
Qin Huai stood up and nodded to everyone with a smile on his face.
"This is Master Li." He Huan gestured towards the driver's seat, "Welcome all experts to join the music tour!"
Everyone applauded.
"Our first stop is the music of the Bai people.
The Bai people, who have had frequent exchanges with the Han people since the Tang Dynasty, were the first ethnic minority in Yunzhou to use Chinese and Chinese characters. In the early Ming Dynasty, due to the destruction of their cultural classics, the Bai characters disappeared.
So many people, including many Bai people, say that their nation does not have a language or written language. But in fact, they do. The Bai language also belongs to the Tibeto-Burman language group."
He Huan briefly talked about Zhu Yuanzhang's burning of books, and experts couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"The text can't be found, but we can still find people who can speak Bai language and sing songs in Bai language. This is exactly the purpose of experts gathering here, and it is also the meaning of our musical journey."
Everyone nodded and became happy again. They really felt that what they were doing now was very meaningful!
"The place we are going to today is located in Shibaoshan, a national scenic spot in Jianchuan, Dali. In addition to the majestic and magnificent landforms and historic sites, the Shibaoshan Song Festival is held every year in the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
Legend has it that there is a huge stone shaped like a bell next to the Shizhong Temple in Shibaoshan. It turned out to be a golden bell. An evil dragon flew here, breathed flames and burned the golden bell into a stone bell. The fire spread to the Bai village.
The Bai people prayed to the Lord, and the Lord directed Ashibo and Aguiniu, a couple from Shaxi Bazi, to lead ten sisters and ten friends, together with a thousand pairs of singers, to gather in Shibaoshan and perform singing competitions day and night.
Everyone knows that the voices of the ethnic minorities in Yunzhou are very bright! The deafening and continuous singing made the evil dragon upset and flew away. Ashibo Aguiniu also sang so hoarse that she vomited blood and died.
In order to commemorate the couple who sang to death, and to prevent the evil dragon from causing trouble again, the Bai people go up to the mountain to sing duets every year, and this has become a grand singing gathering, which has been going on for a thousand years."
Everyone nodded.
"There is a village in the hinterland at the southern foot of Shibao Mountain with an altitude of 2,500 meters. Due to the obstruction of Shibao Mountain, it was isolated from the world before the 1980s. It believed in its own master and practiced intermarriage in the village, so the customs and culture of the Bai people are relatively intact."
The experts laughed.
He Huan also smiled and said: "It is precisely because of the cascading mountains and rivers in Yunzhou that many ethnic groups have been born, and also because of the barriers of mountains and rivers, the unique culture and customs of many ethnic minorities have evolved and been preserved.
This village usually stays aloof from the rest of the world. Only during the Shibaoshan Song Festival does it show off its singing voice and win the first prize many times. Men, women and children of all ages can sing Bai songs and dance the Overlord Whip, and it has become the home of the Bai people's singing and dancing."
Everyone was very happy and full of expectations.
"This village was originally called Fernshiping, which is a transliteration of Bai language and means a dam with prayer flags hanging on it.
It is said that during a Buddhist conference in Shibaoshan, a gust of wind blew and the prayer flags floated away. People ran after the prayer flags, and then the prayer flags were hung on a tree.
When everyone took a look, hey, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is gentle. The Bai people like Bazi with mountains and rivers, so they settled here.
Many ethnic minorities in Yunzhou who believe in Buddhism will hang prayer flags in their homes, and they can be seen everywhere outside. What's more, the prayer flags come by themselves. Therefore, this is a good place blessed by God.
Then in the Qing Dynasty, a highly respected old gentleman in the village went to visit somewhere else. When giving gifts, Mr. Li Zhang asked the old gentleman, where are you from? The old gentleman said that I am from Fernshiping.
At that time, there were many Han people in Dali, including the Bai people who were also accustomed to using Chinese. After hearing what the old man said, they remembered it as Jueshiping, these three words."
He Huan danced on a piece of paper, picked it up and showed it.
"ah!"
Qin Huai looked at He Huan with a smile, and then looked at the experts' reactions, feeling very proud.
This time he was doing the itinerary, but the guide words were all written by He Huan himself.
"At that time, the old gentleman felt that it was very unlucky. Why was it written like this? After he returned to the village, he walked and walked in the village. He felt the ups and downs under his feet, and found out that there was a stone line running through the ground, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
It disappeared and appeared sometimes, like a dragon, so it was renamed Shilong Village."
"Ah!" Everyone nodded and looked at him with interest.
He Huan turned around when he noticed that the speed of the car had slowed down. He saw a group of monkeys strolling in the middle of the road in twos and threes, looking at their car.
"It seems that we have to pay Brother Monkey to pay for the road before we get to Shilong Village! Everyone, go down and pay for the road, otherwise we won't be able to leave!"
"Hahaha……"
The elf who loves animals the most ran out of the car first.
On the tour bus, He Huan will prepare some medicines and snacks and fruits in case of emergency.
Everyone got off the car, and He Huan also got off with a bag of snacks.
When the monkeys saw that everyone else was empty-handed and only He Huan had food in his hand, they all gathered around.
He Huan ignored them and distributed the snacks to the experts. The monkeys watched eagerly as he distributed the snacks to the humans, and then ran away with the experts.
The elf held a banana and made a monkey stand upright. He looked at the banana, licked his mouth and looked at her pitifully. The elf laughed happily.
The cameramen set up a row of machines and took pictures around them.
The experts happily distributed fruit snacks to the monkeys.
Duan Ju said: "After this tourist road was built, tourists gradually came. At first, the monkeys were afraid of people. But when tourists saw the monkeys, they found them very strange and gave them food."
They also know that when a car is coming and someone is coming, they will have something to eat, so when they hear the sound of the car, they are no longer afraid and run out of the woods."
He Huan said with a smile: "Macaques are really too unreserved! Sooner or later they will become aggressive monkeys!"
Everyone laughed.
Nowadays, these monkeys seem to be quite polite, at least they don't try to grab anything, they just look at it longingly and only stretch out their hands to give it.
After giving money for the trip, the monkeys all went to the roadside to enjoy it. Everyone got in the car and continued walking through the woods. Surrounded by green forests and white clouds floating in the blue sky, it really didn't feel like it was already the harsh winter season.
Passing through the mountains and woods, the view suddenly opens up.
A basin is surrounded by mountains. The crops have been harvested. There are groups of cattle and horses in the fields, freely foraging for food. Round yellow haystacks can be seen everywhere on the roadside, like giant mushrooms.
A bay of clear water flows with white clouds, among the green mountains and clear water, the wooden houses and the three squares and one screen wall are like simple and gentle women, quietly dressing up by the water.
The villagers drove cattle and chopped firewood. They blended into this scene.
