Chapter 446: The Gift of Shilong Village

Chapter 446 Gift from Shilong Village

After the party ended in the early morning, the villagers happily helped the old and the young back home. Director Dong held He Huan's hand and said, "I'll wait for you to have dinner tomorrow morning!"

"I won't eat anymore," He Huan said.

"Huh?" Director Dong looked at him, "Are you eating at the inn?"

"We are playing so late, let them sleep in. If you want to eat, you can have some at the inn, you don't have to worry about it."

"All right."

A group of people returned to the inn, and He Huan said: "Everyone turned off the alarm. If you can get up tomorrow, you can have breakfast at the inn. It's best to sleep until noon, because you have to stay up late at night."

"Why?"

"Because tomorrow we are going to a thousand-year-old village of the Yi people. They don't play songs casually. They only play songs when there are major events. Once they play songs, they will play until dawn.

They played songs to welcome us. So in order not to let them down, we couldn’t leave midway and had to play with them until dawn!”

"Ah!" Everyone turned around and ran to the room, "Then let's go to bed quickly!"

He Huan looked at their excitement and hoped that they could sleep.

Duan Ju smiled and patted him on the shoulder. In fact, he didn't have so many requirements for the guests, but it was really to welcome them. If he ran away halfway, the host would always be a little sad.

"Duan Ju also goes to bed early."

He Huan and the teacher returned to the guest room, "Teacher, please go to bed early. It should be okay to stay up late tomorrow, right? There are also those old experts."

Qin Huai said: "It doesn't matter. As long as you young people are here and the elderly can't bear it, I will take them back to rest. You can sleep well tomorrow morning. If they wake up early, I will take them."

He Huan nodded, this is good, there is no need to make the villagers sad, and there is no need to worry about the expert's health.

Sure enough, the experts were used to getting up early, and Qin Kong was also used to getting up early. After breakfast, Qin Kong went back to his room to accompany his wife. Qin Huai took several experts to wander around the village, chatting with villagers in the fields about their folk music.

After sleeping until noon, a group of young people got up.

He Huan went downstairs and Li Badou stood up, "I'm here to invite you to my house for dinner."

"Ah? Does Director Dong know?"

"He knows. I met your teacher and he has already brought several experts to my house. I'll wait for you."

He Huan said with a smile: "Brother Badou, you are so good at singing!"

"Hehe." Li Badou smiled sheepishly.

When everyone came down, He Huan said: "Brother Badou invited us to his house for dinner!"

"Ah!" Liang Ange's eyes lit up, "Great! I just woke up from hunger!"

A group of people laughed. We have seen many polite guests, and it is this kind of guests who complain about hunger that the host likes even more!

Li Badou quickly took a group of young people who slept hungry until noon to his house.

I saw a newly built house on the edge of the field, with an inscription on the whitewashed wall: Qinglian Legacy.

"I guess that's your home, right?" Liang Ange pointed.

"right."

"I feel so cultured!" Liang Ange nodded, and Qin Kong looked at her dotingly.

A group of people laughed.

Li Badou's son saw them at the door and ran back and loudly announced that the guests were coming. Li Badou's wife came out with a shy face. The young people who sang yesterday also ran out holding their children.

It was a rural youth gathering! A group of young people quickly invited them into the yard, offering cigarettes and tea. The children ran around in the yard singing Bai children's songs.

Looking at the young people and children singing their ancient music, it seems as if thousands of years have not passed by them.

The table in the courtyard was quickly filled with dishes. In addition to mushrooms, there were also fish, shrimp, meatballs, cold dishes and many fresh vegetables. A young man brought out a box of beer and poured them Fenghuaxueyue.

Qin Huai said: "A few young men rode motorcycles to the county town early in the morning to buy vegetables and meat, and they were busy all morning when they came back."

Everyone was very moved!

I'm also a little embarrassed, they are all young people, they sleep in, but they are preparing this meal for them.

A group of young Bai people smiled honestly. Li Badou raised his cup and opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say, "Drink! Everyone drink!" and he finished first.

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to drink.

The meal was very sumptuous, and a group of urban youths who had not eaten breakfast devoured it.

Liang Ange said: "I really think you are so capable! You can sing traditional operas! You can also hold banquets!"

The young Bai people were praised so much that they smiled all over their faces.

After dinner, Liang Ange left Li Badou's phone number and looked at them again, "You guys sing well, our variety show will be on CCTV after it is filmed."

A group of young people nodded excitedly.

"Traditional culture needs us young people to inherit it. This year I will take time to promote it and let you get on a bigger stage." Liang Ange looked at Li Badou and said, "I will contact you."

"Thank you, Teacher Liang!" The young Bai people were all overjoyed.

Liang Ange smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are doing this event just to discover and spread ethnic minority music!"

Everyone nodded.

He Huan said: "I know you are reluctant to leave, but we still have to walk for four or five hours in the afternoon, let's go!"

The young people stood up reluctantly and sent them out.

Everyone went back to the inn and packed their luggage. He Huan went to the front desk to check out and pay. Bureau Duan quickly ran over to stop him, "We agreed that we would receive them."

He Huan turned to look at him, "Duan Bureau, I see that the villagers here are not rich either. They all rely on gifts from Shibaoshan and have no other products. We are here to spread ethnic minority music, not to add burden to the villagers.

!”

Liang Ange also nodded, "Yes! This is what we want to do! We should also pay for meals! I didn't expect that they would spend money and energy just to entertain us!"

He Huan said: "Don't give us any money for the meal. We were invited to do it, but we didn't pay for it."

"You also want to spread our culture and music. Don't worry, you won't put any burden on the people. The bureau will be responsible for the reception fees." Duan said.

He Huan stopped nagging him, opened Alipay and handed it to the front desk, "Should I swipe you or should you swipe me?"

The front desk was also a Bai girl, looking at Duan Ju. Duan Ju didn't stop him, so he had to let him pay. It didn't cost much, it wasn't a luxury hotel, but I was embarrassed not to pay.

After coming out of the inn, Duan Ju took a look at them. What a wonderful group of young cultural communicators!

He Huan inserted the White Dragon Flag into the front of the car, and the Little White Dragon Music Band got on the bus. When they drove to the entrance of the village, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. When they saw the bus coming, they all waved to stop. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but have wet eyes.

.

Master Li stopped the car and Director Dong asked the driver to open the luggage compartment.

Director Dong's wife was carrying a bulging nylon bag, "There are all kinds of fungi and wild ginseng here. I won't share them with you. You can take them back and share them yourself."

Everyone waved their hands, but she didn't even look at it. She bent down and stuffed it into the luggage compartment at the bottom of the car.

Liang Ange quickly got out of the car and took out his mobile phone, "Sister, I like to eat mushrooms! I know mushrooms are very expensive! I'll give you money!"

"No, no, no!" The eldest sister pushed her away and ran away.

Everyone laughed in and out of the car. Liang Ange also stopped and looked at her helplessly, his eyes moist, "Thank you, eldest sister!"

Seeing that she didn't force the money, the eldest sister turned around with relief and nodded happily.

After shaking hands with Director Dong and Li Badou and saying a few words, Liang Ange got in the car.

The luggage compartment is closed, the door is closed, and the car starts.

The villagers waved and watched them leave.

He Huan said: "Shilong Village is located in a rocky mountainous area and cannot grow rice. The main crop is corn. We usually collect wild mushrooms and sell them to make some money. They really gave us their best stuff."

"Stop talking, she's going to cry." Qin Kong looked at the elf next to him distressedly.

Everyone looked at Liang Ange, waving to the villagers outside the window with wet eyes. It was funny, but their eyes were wet.

Duan Ju said: "Your arrival will promote tourism in Shilong Village, which will not only bring more attention to their culture, but also make their lives better!"

Everyone nodded, feeling a little more comfortable, hoping that we could really do something for them.

Under the watch of the villagers, the car drove into the mountains and green forests.

This touching and sad mood was not interrupted until a group of monkeys intercepted it.

"Oh!" Liang Ange said, "You can't give them fungi, right? I can't bear to do it!"

People in the car laughed, and He Huan took out snacks. Everyone cheered and got out of the car to buy money for the trip.

Brother Monkey gave way and the car drove out.

He Huan said: "We are now in Jianchuan County, north of Dali, and will arrive in Weishan County, south of Dali in the afternoon. Weishan is the hometown of Da Ge.

Da Ge, called Ake in Yi language, is an indispensable ritual for the Yi people in weddings and funerals, building houses and moving houses, celebrating new years and festivals, and worshiping ancestors and temple fairs.

Yi music is better inherited among ethnic minorities, and the largest music and dance form is Da Ge. Records of Da Ge have been recorded in history books since the Tang Dynasty, and in fact it was even earlier.

The Cangyuan cliff paintings from the Neolithic Age more than 3,000 years ago, and the bronzes unearthed from the ancient Dian Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago, all show this kind of entertainment activity. In other words, it originated in BC.

In fact, circle dancing around a campfire may be the earliest human activity. If you think about it, our ancestors used to live in caves. Like other animals, they mainly relied on gathering and hunting, and directly participated in the food chain.

Because of fire, humans have drawn a line with other animals and entered civilization. Of all the animals in the world, only humans have learned to use fire, learn to cook food to eat, learn to use fire to keep warm, and learn to use fire to cook food.

Scare away other animals."

Everyone looked at him intently.

"So, when we humans were separated from other animals, people hunted other animals, roasted them on the fire, and sang and danced. This may be the earliest origin of playing songs."

The experts nodded.

"Singing and dancing are the most primitive ways for human beings to express their emotions. In other places, it is difficult to see such collective activities. But in Yunzhou, everyone should have a feeling that wherever they go, ethnic minorities like to dance in circles. And

The dance steps are rough and simple.

As an outsider, wouldn't it be boring to dance all the time with a simple movement? But they can dance all night long.

It was not created as a high-brow art from the beginning. It is folk and anyone can participate, so it is very simple.

Why is such a form of entertainment widespread in Yunzhou? A large part of the reason is because there is little cultivated land here, and many ethnic minorities make a living by hunting. Before liberation, they continued this way of life.

And because of the barrier of mountains, there are roads and cars in other places, but our place is still very isolated, and there are not as many entertainment activities as in big cities. This ancient playing song has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Yi people have very rich music and dance. Due to different regions and branches, they are divided into many factions. Among them, Bijia Village is the representative of Dongshan Dage. They are isolated from the world because of their isolation..."
