travel between mountains and rivers

experience diverse ethnic cultures

my husband is in the blue sea in the morning and in the cangwu in the evening. guizhou is a place that even xu xiake, who traveled thousands of miles in his life, lingered on. on the river, looking at the extreme landscape, mysterious local opera and diverse ethnic culture of anshun, guizhou, the creator a duo wanted to explore the ancient cultural heritage, and the recommender yu yi listened to the voice of 600 years ago.

along the way, they saw the chuanshan cave, which projected a rare divine light from heaven and earth, heard the warm and sweet welcome songs of the miao girls, and the catchy folk songs of the buyi people, and saw the only female "spider-man" in the world climbing a 108-meter cliff with her bare hands. freehand climbing originated from ancient funerals. after the death of an old man, the old man had to be carried to the mountain for burial. later, it gradually became a means of livelihood for the miao people, used to pick herbs and dig bird's nests, and now it has evolved into a performance project that empowers tourism. this cultural inheritance dispelled yu yi's doubts about retaining this dangerous project, and also made a duo feel the weight of culture.

what surprised the guests even more was the tianlong tunbao in anshun, where people speak the official language of the ming dynasty 600 years ago, wear fengyang han costumes, and live in stone houses. it can be called a real-life museum of the ming dynasty. the anshun local opera inherited here sings about going to war and performing about serving the country, praising loyalty and righteousness, and praising loyal ministers and generals who serve the country. the play "the legend of yue fei: lu wenlong stands with two guns against five generals" only uses a drum and a gong to perform the bravery of the soldiers going to war. a duo felt that she seemed to have traveled to another world here.

when you come to tunbu, you can't miss a military tent banquet that best reflects the regional characteristics and food culture of the ming dynasty military settlements. the folk songs are sung to welcome the distinguished guests, and the wine songs are sung to express the deep friendship. the villagers prepared a grand and lively military tent banquet, which not only included "fine wine, delicious food, and big pot dishes", but also the folk songs of the ladies. the enthusiasm of the tunbu people also made the guests feel the down-to-earthness of the local opera more intuitively.

learn to make masks from local opera

appreciate the charm of intangible cultural heritage

the performers of anshun dixi opera wear green scarves on their heads, battle skirts around their waists, masks on their foreheads, and spears, swords, and halberds in their hands. they sing and dance to the sound of the music. with the accompaniment of a gong and a drum, one person leads the singing and the others follow. there is a lingering sound of yiyang laoqiang. the dance mainly expresses the fighting and killing of wars, which is vigorous, rough, simple and strong. after watching dixi opera, you can't help but learn a few lines. a duo and yu yi became temporary members of the dixi opera team and learned yiyang gaoqiang, "one round and two rounds have no victory or defeat, three rounds and four rounds determine the winner." in just two short sentences, the lyrics are popular, the singing is high-pitched and exciting, and one person sings and everyone follows. this sound may not seem stimulating, but it is actually stable and forms a fixed sound field, showing the uniform momentum of the soldiers.

the anshun dixi mask is the soul of dixi. from carving to coloring, each step needs to be made around the character's personality traits. therefore, the production of dixi masks has also become an art. zhou ming, as a provincial representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage anshun woodcarving skills, has been exposed to woodcarving since he was a teenager. he insists on using wood as paper and knife as pen to carve the past and present, carving the passing of time. after experiencing the carving with his own hands, yu yi developed a sense of awe for the dixi mask. in the process of depicting the mask, a duo seemed to have completed a dialogue with the ancients and traveled to the era when the heroes lived.

anshun dixi has become the spiritual home that the tunbu people have adhered to from generation to generation over the long years. in the historical changes, generation after generation of tunbu people will continue to shoulder the responsibility of inheriting dixi and try their best to preserve this cultural symbol that has been passed down for six hundred years.

"gaotai xiongge" praises the heroic group

a duo and yu yi ascended the water curtain platform and sang loudly

have you ever seen huangguoshu waterfall at 1 a.m.? the crew of "drama universe" built a 5-story ground opera platform with 60 tables in front of huangguoshu waterfall, one of the world's most famous waterfalls and famous for its mighty water. a duo, yu yi and dozens of ground opera actors rehearsed together in the rain, and finally completed a magnificent audio-visual feast.

the creative performance show "gaotai xiaoge" is adapted from "glory of the king·100 heroes group portrait tribute song" "hundred battles into poems", which combines local opera singing, pop music and rap. a duo's high-pitched and passionate singing complements the hard-core and domineering rap, and yu yi's low singing and long opera singing are a perfect match. gaotai xiaoge, flowing into sound, is heart-stirring and heart-stirring, and every sentence expresses immortal beliefs. every move and every style turns into a hero, and every song and every shout is both a civilian and a soldier. the unique tunbu accent interprets the golden weapons and iron horses, conveys loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and bravery, and tells the story of tunbu for 600 years. the heroes are praised, and the unsung heroes are also chanting. they all have their own glory and will eventually write their own stories.

this is a journey to pay tribute to heroes, and also a journey to explore the origin of the local opera spirit. following the century-old singing style, discover the intangible cultural heritage and protect it. travel with opera. on saturday, september 14, at 20:30, shandong satellite tv's "opera universe" cultural tourism season, the third episode of guizhou anshun will be broadcast. please look forward to it.
