The first stop of the team building activity was in Chenling and Anling, the hometown of red, because foreign friends are very interested in this period of red history. At the same time, Chenling and Anling are located in a remote area and still retain many original ecological traditions.
One of the contents that foreign friends are extremely interested in.
"Are there any foreign friends visiting?" Township Mayor Dai Lijun was a little excited after receiving the news. The township is planning to develop tourism, but the resources cannot be compared with Shenxianju and others. He plans to take a different approach and build an outdoor activity base or something. I heard that
After Jin Huabin's introduction, he couldn't help but promised that he would mobilize all the villages to come up with original programs to receive them, saying: "We are too late this time, so we will arrange a copper whip as the main program, and we will say hello earlier in the future.
, I will arrange the Eighteen Arhats and Qingyin Temple Fair for you. How about noodles with toppings for lunch and salty and sour rice for dinner?"
After hearing this, Jin Huabin couldn't help but secretly praise this arrangement. It is economical and has the characteristics of a fairyland. The person who is responsible for this team building has never eaten in his life. Moreover, the meal fee for two meals is only fifty fifty per person.
The cost saved became the profit of this event. Of course, this cannot be said to Dai Xiang Changming. Jin Huabin replied: "It is not easy for foreign friends to come to Xianju. Every township is rushing to take them there themselves, so
To expand the township's influence in other places, this time, for the sake of Mayor Dai's face, we will definitely bring them to Chenling and Anling tomorrow."
What kind of activity is the copper whip? Jin Huabin and Su Yuehong have been at the cultural station for many years. They have seen the name in the county annals, but they have never seen the villagers perform it.
Before arriving at Chenling, Mayor Dai was already waiting at the intersection halfway. After meeting, Mayor Dai gave an introduction and said: To make a "bronze whip" prop, a thin bamboo pole about three feet long is used.
Chop off a piece, string eight copper coins in the middle, and tie a flower belt on the bamboo pole. During the performance, hold the middle of the copper whip with your right hand, use it up and down, and tap your shoulders, back, and waist from left to right.
and limbs, or playing against others, knocking on the ground, etc. The copper coins continue to make a rhythmic crackling sound, and the dancers follow the rhythm of the sound and sing various folk songs.
The number of performers during the "Copper Coin Whip" performance is variable, and the number of people is determined according to the scale of the event. The dance formation can be divided into two rows, four rows, and at most it can be divided into six or eight rows. The performers are beating the copper coin whip while
Moving forward. When performing in the square, the basic formations include double door formation, dragon gate formation, tiger head formation, octagonal formation, square formation, etc."
Rather than the performance form, Jin Huabin paid more attention to the origin and story of the copper whip, so he humbly asked Mayor Dai about it.
"Well," Mayor Dai scratched his scalp and said, "Let's watch the performance of the copper whip first. After the performance, I will find an old farmer to explain it to you in detail."
In the square of Jinkeng Village, there were 16 old farmers lined up, all green men with resolute expressions. Judging from the costumes on their bodies, they looked like armor. The leader sang the overture in a long voice imitating the sound of horse hooves.
The majestic war song sounded:
Wearing iron armor and carrying a long sword.
The road to war with my son is long.
We share the same enemy and live and die together.
I am fighting with my son and my heart is not slack.
Stepping on the swallows, chasing the beard.
I fight with my son and sing without fear.
The "Copper-Copper Whip Dance" is usually performed by women, with concise movements, light dancing postures and strong rhythm. This time, it was a green man who sang a majestic war song. Jin Huabin was a little confused.
After the song was danced, Mayor Dai brought the old farmer who was leading the dance in front of everyone, and listened to him talk about the origin of the copper whip dance. The old man introduced: "At the end of the Qin Dynasty when the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, went all the way.
After passing through the pass, Xiang Yu was invincible. Every time he conquered a city, Xiang Yu stood on his horse, waved his steel whip, sang and danced loudly. When the dance was in full swing, he ordered his soldiers to break wood into whips and dance again, which deeply affected the passing people. Later, this dance form evolved from
The military camp spread to the people, and gradually developed into the form of the copper whip, and evolved into a folk dance form for local people to pray to gods, celebrate good harvests, and celebrate happy events. Therefore, the copper whip is also called the Overlord's Whip."
During the inspirational military song, everyone ate a large bowl of noodles with toppings, and then headed for the Lingjiang Canal. The Lingjiang Canal is a product of the Dazhai era of agriculture. Think about it, in that era, most of the work relied on manual digging.
, it is not easy to build a four-kilometer-long tunnel. The underground river arranged by Township Chief Dai for us is a very unique underground river. At one o'clock, a few bats flew out of the cave entrance, and all the members entered the underground river with screams. Thank you Dai Xiang
The length is carefully arranged, and the water of the underground river has just been washed by the water from the Lingjiang Reservoir. The top of the heaven is at the source of the Lingjiang River, and the upper part is connected to the Milky Way and the lower part is connected to the Lower Bank Reservoir. There are so many myths and imaginations. Entering the underground river, although everyone said
We all prepared headlamps, but when we put several headlamps together, there was just a halo in front of our eyes, but we could clearly see that the inner and outer walls of the river were manually hammered out with iron chisels, and the entire width of the water hole was
Two or three meters, the narrow part is more than one meter. Occasionally, there is a wide and dry area. Everyone huddles together and takes a rest. The hole is a natural amplifier, and the laughter and talking are amplified several times, and everyone shouts in unison.
At that moment, a sound roared past, like a thunder god being angry. Looking carefully above the head, there were many bats sleeping.
Set up camp at Jinkeng Village in the evening. Jinkeng Village is built against the mountain. It has a uniform mud wall structure and goes up the stairs. From a distance, it looks like the Potala Palace in XZ. The mud walls are mostly red and give off a faint halo in the night, which is rare.
What's more, many mud houses are three-story structures. In ancient small villages before the advent of cement, it was extremely difficult to complete such a building.
At night, Mayor Dai used a huge moso bamboo more than ten meters long to cook salty and sour rice in a bamboo tube for everyone. More than a dozen people rolled the moso bamboo on the fire. On the side, there were more than a dozen old women singing
Traditional love songs of Anling Township.
A twenty-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy,
Parents make the decision to pair up.
The sedan chair was carried to the front of the main hall,
Find a cousin to worship on your behalf.
The groom also wears crotchless pants.
When I feel sleepy at night, I put her in bed.
My husband woke up in tears,
Trapped and peeing all over the crotch.
The song was sung in the Xianju dialect. Several foreigners only saw the old women dancing, but could not understand what they were singing. Jin Huabin sat next to them and explained to them in a low voice how old men were three or four years old.
He got married and asked for a wife who was more than ten years older than him. It was a local custom to be both wife and mother. On the wedding day, the young groom wet the bed. An interesting story.
"We have it in our country too." The foreigner smiled and said, "My mother is ten years older than my father."
Then, an old man and an old lady came to the center of the bonfire and sang a song "Look at the Cowboy" while performing.
Watch the young cow feeding the early cow,
The eldest sister across the street combed her hair early.
As soon as I walked to the door,
The eldest sister waved to him.
I don’t want to come and I want to leave,
Climb upstairs sneakily.
Walking to my eldest sister’s bed,
Two feet are like playing a three-stringed string.
The eldest sister smiled at me,
My heart beats more and more vigorously.
Everyone can understand this body movement, it’s a bit erotic, it’s just a pair of young lovers having an affair. Everyone who participated in the team building burst into laughter.
