This little girl was timid when she was at the scenic spot, but she was also a very cute girl in the village.
Chen Xing smiled and said hello to his uncle and aunt.
When Bai Yuzhu's father saw Chen Xing coming over, he stood up from the ground and asked, "My little brother is here too. What do you think of our village?"
"Very beautiful." Chen Xing said.
"You are too polite to speak. There is nothing interesting to see in our village, and we can't see many things of our ethnic group here. If you have time, you can go to some ancient towns of the Buyi people." p>
"Oh? Is there anything different?"
Chen Xing feels that the houses here are already very distinctive, and the system recognizes that this is the house of the Buyi people.
"The land is not good." Uncle said, "There are no fields around some big towns, and the houses are built very densely, one next to the other. There is a saying in the city... By the way,
Visual impact, haha."
When Chen Xing heard his uncle's description, why did he suddenly think of the Miao Village?
Well, maybe most of the houses in Guizhou are built like this, and if you think about it carefully, many real ancient Han buildings are also built very densely, one next to the other, which would be very dangerous in the event of a fire. p>
Therefore, the fire sealing wall of Huizhou architecture has become an important feature of a faction's architecture.
Bai Yuzhu went to chat with her mother.
After a few minutes, he came back and said: "The opera at the entrance of the village is a local opera. Do you want to go and see it?"
"What is local opera?"
Chen Xing has heard of Huangmei Opera and excerpts of opera, but never heard of local opera at all.
Local drama?
"It's the opera of our Buyi people. We always call it local opera. In fact, it's nothing special. I've seen it many times."
Every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching, opera troupes from the city will come to the countryside to perform. And they don’t come just for the Chinese New Year. Sometimes there are festivals and activities, and you can also see free local opera performances in the town. p>
There is a small stage at the scenic spot, and tourists with good luck can also see local opera performances.
So Bai Yuzhu really didn't think it was anything strange, and even thought that their own ethnic operas were not as good as Peking Opera.
Chen Xing didn't think it was anything when he heard what the aunt said before, but when he heard it was a drama about ethnic minorities, he became a little interested and said to Bai Yuzhu: "You don't think it's interesting, but I do. I haven't done anything before.
I’ve seen your show.”
No matter whether it looks good or not, you should always go and see something new.
Bai Yuzhu led the way, and the two of them walked towards the open space at the entrance of the village. This place is a huge sunbathing dam in summer and autumn. Some people will put it here when they have too many crops to dry at home. What kind of community is there?
If there is an event, people from the village will also come here.
There are not many people here now, and they all bring their own benches. A high stage has been set up in front of the stage. The curtain behind the stage is quite interesting. It is a picture of the Eight Immortals, namely Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, Lan Cai and them. The paintings are very beautiful.
Traditional and very vivid.
Lu Dongbin put his hands behind his back, holding a fuchen in his hand, and a long sword hanging on his back. Han Zhongli exposed his breasts and held a banana fan in his hand. There were also others carrying gourds and flower baskets.<
/p>
Just like traditional dramas, the accompanist masters sit at the back of the stage with their instruments and check the instruments, pulling them from time to time to make some noise.
"It's very lively." Chen Xing said.
"Yes, many elderly people don't like to play with mobile phones. They usually like to come here to chat. In fact, the place is very lively whether there is this theater troupe or not."
People here also saw Bai Yuzhu, greeted Chen Xing warmly, and immediately expressed doubts on their faces.
As Bai Yuzhu is the most beautiful girl in Shili and Baxiang, countless people have been interested in her for a long time. She also successfully got engaged this year. I heard that the man is also a talented person, but this talent is a bit too much, right?
What does this handsome guy in front of me want that his wife can’t get?
And he doesn’t look like a country boy?
So everyone discussed secretly, some said yes, some said no.
But due to Chen Xing's temperament, these old ladies were too embarrassed to ask questions in person, so this was considered a clean slate.
Bai Yuzhu doesn't think there's any problem. She hasn't thought about it that much yet. We'll discuss next year's matters.
Although I haven’t met the person I want to marry yet, women always want to marry.
So I happily took Chen Xing to find a seat and watch the performance.
Buyi opera is a kind of folk opera with few inheritors. There is also a tourist town that the county is focusing on developing nearby. The local Buyi people spontaneously started such a troupe, and they usually perform occasionally at scenic spots.
Play and make some money.
At the same time, according to tradition, at the end of each year and the beginning of the year, the troupe will also perform in various Buyi villages to pray for the local gods.
In fact, it is traditionally performed during the first lunar month.
But there are too many places, and it’s the first month of the year. Who doesn’t want to have a good New Year? So the Buyi opera here is mostly performed in the twelfth lunar month and a small part in the first month.
Soon, the play began.
In the opening scene, a man wearing a round, large, and strange mask came up to read the words. Chen Xing couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
Because these villages used to be very backward, many elderly people cannot learn to speak Mandarin, or even Guizhou dialect. As a local folk opera troupe, they still use Mandarin to perform in various places. Isn't this scolding?
?
Therefore, singing and opera are all original.
Chen Xing couldn't understand, but he still watched the fun, especially when the masked person on the stage held a white thing and walked with a special pace. The absurdity brought by the mask and costume became more and more intense, a kind of
A very quaint sense of ritual comes over my face.
This doesn’t feel like watching a show.
On the contrary, it was like watching a very primitive blessing ceremony, which gave Chen Xing a deeper understanding of the local minority culture.
Chen Xing had previously thought about whether taking pictures was allowed here, but Chen Xing saw other people recording videos with their mobile phones, so he also took out his mobile phone and recorded a short section, preparing to post it to his circle of friends. Bai Yuzhu was curious and he took the photo
Come and take a look at what's going on.
The first performance came to an end. The actor wearing a huge mask went down, and then three people came up.
This appearance is very obvious, and Chen Xing can tell at a glance that he is the three gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity.
It seems that this is really a blessing ceremony in Buyi culture.
Chen Xing felt that he had guessed well, and the corners of his mouth naturally turned up.
Many folk god-seeking rituals now have to have a little more entertainment effect in order to increase entertainment, so that while entertaining gods, they also have a little bit of entertainment properties, so that most people like to watch it.
Gotta understand.
Those operas that do not seek change have long since disappeared in the tide of the times.
"Want to take some pictures?" Chen Xing suddenly asked.
"What?" Bai Yuzhu didn't understand what Chen Xing meant for a while, and said in confusion.
"Please take some photos for me. Take pictures of me looking at this." Chen Xing pointed to the stage.
Most of the time, he travels alone, and he can't find anyone to take photos for him - except today, he asked Bai Yuzhu to take a few photos for his own convenience, and at the same time, he could also see if she was
