Jintan

The altar of gold "carries the cabinet" Is a number of young boys and girls played Ancient costume Theatrical figures, suspended on several layers of square shelves, carried by people and accompanied by the playing of instrumental music, a traditional form of acrobatic entertainment. Its crepe shape, derived from the ancient "thin. Beat gongs and drums ". During the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers attacked Jintan City, and King Yue led his troops to resist bravely. After the defeat of the Jin Army, the fleeing people returned to their hometown, they celebrated the victory in various forms, and one of the most popular forms of entertainment was "fine beating gongs and drums". At the beginning, "fine beating gongs and drums" did not have a fixed rhythm, and the form of performance was relatively simple. By the early Republic of China, Qi Jiguang Lead troops to defeat those who intrude on the gold altar Japanese pirates And raised the wall of the Golden Altar by three feet. When the people of Jintan celebrated, on the basis of "fine playing gongs and drums", they added the "lifting pavilion" transplanted from Hubei to perform acrobatic modeling. The original "lifting Pavilion" was small in size and monotonous in content, and after the transformation and innovation of Jintan folk artists, it continued to develop, so that it not only absorbed the strengths of Hubei "lifting Pavilion", but also dissolved into the local content characteristics of Jintan, so that it was unique and more entertaining and ornamental. The production of "pavilion" is based on wooden piles and bolts as "bones", manned by "piles", and fixed in layers. When traveling, sixteen strong men "eight carry eight inserts", that is, eight people carry them with their shoulders and eight people support them with their shoulders. The "pavilion" is a rectangular pedestal six feet long and five feet wide, with a rectangular base with four legs. The base is supported by wooden poles and decorated with rockeries, winding Bridges, railings, flowers, green shade and pavilions. "Pavilion" to "pile" as the support of the upper and lower into a whole, from high to low divided into five layers for the top pile, two piles, three piles, four piles and the end of the pile, up to two feet and five feet. On the "pavilion" there are five to seven young boys and girls (all around 10 years old) who pose as various drama characters. When prosperous, Jintan had City God Temple, Zhongyou Temple, Hexi Temple, Li Wang Temple, eight wax Temple, temple value temple, Hedong Temple and other seven "carry the pavilion" at the same time travel, its scale and momentum of huge, attracted the city. After the inheritance and transformation of folk artists in the past dynasties, especially in the early Republic of China, the Anti-Japanese War period and the three development stages before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jintan "lifting the pavilion" has formed a unique local style. Its elegant shape, beautiful content, accompanied by sonorous rhythmic percussion music, strong atmosphere, spectacular scene, like a mobile stage carried on the shoulder, has been loved by generations of people. Its customs, content, shape and scale, as well as the corresponding instrumental music, all have very distinct characteristics of Jiangnan. The golden altar carries the cabinet It is also a kind of acrobatic performance art closely combined with traditional drama, which belongs to the rare and precious variety of folk art. Protecting and inheriting the "lifting Pavilion" of the golden Altar has high academic research value for exploring the combination development of traditional drama and folk acrobatics.
After the third flourishing period at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the breed gradually became silent, and some of its inheritors died one after another, and some are old, and now there is no successor and it is on the verge of extinction. [1]
On the afternoon of March 7, 2015, Jintan City held an exhibition of intangible cultural heritage projects in Youth Square, and nearly 200 people performed six intangible cultural heritages such as Zhixi Dragon and fingerfish lamp. Among them, the national intangible cultural heritage - Jintan Lifting Pavilion, is the first time to meet Jintan citizens after the performance in 2007. The pavilion is about 6 meters high and weighs a thousand kilograms. It is carried by 16 people. Eight children aged 5-6 play the characters of Seven Fairies, Dong Yong, and the Jade Emperor, hanging on the 5-story pavilion to show the legend of Dong Yong. [7]

Huizhou

Jixi Lake village carrying pavilion
Huizhou Raise a pavilion The origin can probably be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, when Hui merchants were at their peak, folk activities were particularly lively, and Huizhou people thought of ideas to activate the festival atmosphere, and Huizhou Pavilion came into being. In addition Ancient Huizhou Local opera Anhui opera With a long history and rich repertoire, it is well known, providing a vivid reference for the performance of Huizhou Pavilion, so the ancient Huizhou Pavilion was also called "Opera".
Huizhou carrying pavilion is somewhat similar to the character in the parade float, but the "lift" of the "lift pavilion" is worthy of the name, it is carried by people, so the unique trembling and leisurely rhythm of the above character shape is unmatched by the float. The "pavilion" of "Lifting Pavilion" refers to the wooden frame carefully designed and manufactured by folk craftsmen, which is divided into two kinds of two-story pavilion and three-story pavilion according to the different scale and plot. The outside of the pavilion body is decorated with pavilions, stone Bridges and rainbows, mountains and rivers, fishing boats, clouds or flowers, etc., although the layers are stacked and integrated, they complement each other. There are flexible pillars on each layer of the pavilion, cleverly hidden in the pavilion between the sports objects, children dressed in various drama characters, or standing or sitting or hanging on these pillars, the colorful clothes are cleverly covered up the pillars, these children will have a sense of standing. The common characters of Huizhou opera carrying pavilion are" The Tale of the White Serpent "Water overflowing Jinshan Temple"," Journey to the West "Sun Wukong three dozen white bone Essence", and" In the peach garden, three bonds are made "," A fisherman and a killer In recent years, with the development of tourism in Huangshan City and the mining of tourism resources, there will also be Dai Zhen , Zhu Xi, Tao Xingzhi , Huang Binhong Such as Huizhou historical celebrities used as character modeling, it can be said that Huizhou carried the pavilion to bring forth the new.
Huizhou Pavilion is carried by four or more young men shoulder to carry the bar forward, the front, the back of two people, wearing a white scarf, wearing a white cloth jacket, yellow vest, full of spirit. The left and right side of the cabinet and another two young men with the same makeup, they are both the replacement of the hand of the cabinet, but also the defender of the cabinet and the pathbreaker. They often hold long steel forks in their hands, so that they can pick up the banners hanging down the road or push away the branches of the trees on the side of the road at any time, so that the tall pavilion will not be blocked or damaged. At rest, you can also give the children above to borrow, reduce their fatigue.
The children who serve as the model of the cabinet are carefully selected in the whole township and village, both to look beautiful, but also to be lightweight, and have to stand and sit for a few hours of hard work. Even if the conditions are so harsh, every family is still very enthusiastic when choosing. According to the cabinet maker told me, in fact, the biggest secret of the cabinet is in the bottom space of the cabinet body, where there are irregular arrangements and piles of stones of varying sizes, it is these stones that play a stable and balanced role in the tall cabinet. The location and number of cleverly placed stones have become the standard for testing the level of a cabinet maker.
Huizhou pavilion is often sent out four or five in a row, slowly marching through the city, coupled with each pavilion in front of a drum blowing to create a consistent atmosphere with the opera story on the pavilion, the fixed pavilion shape immediately activated into a drama story in people's minds, so the wonderful enjoyment of the flowing open-air stage, it is difficult to convey.

Yuncheng

Yuncheng lifting Pavilion is a very old folk dance form, which has a history of more than 400 years. According to Yang's genealogy and Zulin inscriptions, during the reign of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1556), the seventh Emperor of Yang's Wushi, "Yi Jing", was dissatisfied with the children of a rich family in Hebei Province, and then moved his family from Hebei Province to Shaoji Village, Guotun Town, Yuncheng County, to settle down. "Yi Jing" since childhood smart, civil and martial arts, love to play, homemade many toys, such as green dragon knife, snake whip, wooden horse, bullet train and so on. One day, after seeing an official carrying a sedan chair in Shaoji Village, he had a sudden idea and asked the local famous carpenter to design a fun sedan chair for him, named "Carrying Pavilion". This kind of litter has no cover, two flat bars about five meters long on the left and right, six beams connected in the middle, and a vertical pole in the middle of each beam, so that the entertainer can fight on it, flip and jump, and act as an assistant when he loses his steps to prevent falling to the ground. The two long poles are carried by one person at each end, and the four people carry the poles in step with each other, walking up and down and shaking, and the artists perform on them, which is very exciting. Legend has it that many people participated in such activities at that time. This is Yuncheng lift pavilion prototype.
During the Ming Dynasty, Yang's descendants changed the cabinet from a double pole to a single long pole, and two people carried it on their shoulders, trembling, and the entertainer stood on it, doing the action of kicking and jumping, showing it to the audience. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1739), the descendants of the Yang family installed piles on the rack, erected on the rack, with a foot board on the left and right sides of the pile for performers to stand and tie people to the pile with a rope to avoid falling down. At the same time, kidnappers were made at both ends of the rack, so that the person carrying the rack could hold it tightly with his hands, so that the rack would rest on his back and there would be no danger of turning it over. The entertainers whip, kick, walk and jump above, or dance with folding fans in hand, or hold a hatchet in hand, impressing the audience. [4]

Originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, floating color is the appellation of Guangdong to lift pavilion. To float is to lift off the ground and show the beauty of the sky.

And cleverly arranged the "color boy", "color woman" artistic structure shape distribution.
Performers stand on a small stage called a "color cabinet" and perform segments of folklore or mythology in the form of a parade. The magic of the performers is that they stand up in the air on carefully camouflaged steel branches, supported by invisible color stems, and use clever mechanics to create a "floating" effect.

When did "Lifting the Pavilion" originate? In the old society, it was regarded as insignificant by literati and would not be recorded in history, so there was no evidence to check. However, Pingyang is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Fenhe River basin, is one of the birthplaces of human beings, lifting Ge can also be described as a long history, a long history.
"Lifting the Pavilion", commonly known as "She Fire", is an activity to worship the earth god and the fire God. In ancient times when human beings did not know and control nature, people often used some natural objects as symbols to express the lineage of a group or a nation, and worshipped them as sacred, called "totems". During the sacrifice, the activities of people carrying the earth and puppet images of the "earth god" and "fire God" are called "She Fire".
According to legend, during the period of Yao and Shun, sacrificial activities had a fixed form and a specific date. In the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the ritual of sacrificial activities became more frequent and complex, and the earth, puppets like totems, which were regarded as supreme by people, were also shifted and mocked from time to time. Therefore, "She Fire" was developed along with the sacrificial activities, and later evolved into pavilions with idols or people pretending to be gods. That's why it's called "Carrying the Pavilion."
The origin of "Carrying the Pavilion", there is a legend: in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Emperor Yang, a playboy, built a lot of pavilions in the palace, and drove the Geisha dancers on the stage and in front of the pavilion to perform for him for fun, and became a habit, but he was uneasy in the palace life, often went out to visit the mountains and waters, where a go out, must carry the Geisha dancers. In order to meet the needs of mobility, forcing the working people to create a mobile stage for him is today's cabinet. At that time, it was only to carry the pavilion but not the people, and the kabuki dancers took the stage during the performance and stepped down after the performance.
Another biography, Tang Dynasty (712 AD) acrobatics With the further development of vaudeville, the people followed the example of the court, and played all kinds of plays in the village and community when the farm was idle. Because there are few pavilions in the folk, they moved a few tables to form a temporary stage, so that the actor can perform on the table, which is the "platform". But only "Taiwan" without "pavilion", it is difficult to shelter from the wind and rain, and people set up a simple cover on the "Taiwan" - "pavilion", which becomes "Taiwan pavilion". Later, because it was carried by people from time to time, people used to call it "carrying Pavilion".
Xiangfen county Anli Village According to legend, the village was called Li Village before the Tang Dynasty, and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, was stationed here to fight and suppress the criminals, and the people's lives depended on stability, so the original Li Village was changed to An Li Village. The village The Temple of Fire There was once a stone tablet, writing "the king of Qin in the area". The temple once sculpted two idols of the young and old, it is said Li Shimin Two returned to An Li village, leaving the old and young two ministers to guard here, later, the old and young two ministers died one after another, to commemorate the "two ministers" then the statue in the temple. People are afraid of the thief again, they imitate the appearance of the old and young two ministers by people dressed as "meat puppets", in the Spring Festival or sacrifice every year, carrying the village around, showing off the old and young two ministers still exist, deter the crowd of criminals, and settle the people's hearts, so that over time, the natural formation of "Carry the Pavilion". From the point of view of the content of the pavilion in An Li Village, most of them are stories played before the Tang Dynasty, such as "Fen Hewan Geese", "Tang Monk Scripture" and so on. Anli Village "Carrying the Pavilion" has been formed in the Tang Dynasty.
According to the stele of Phoenix Temple in Zhonghuang Village, Xiangfen County: "Ming Chenghua three years (1467 AD) March 26 in the early morning, birds covered the sky, the sound of the air, the village people startled, looked up, the birds gathered on the square stone on the top of the Phoenix slope, where a golden phoenix fell, all over the mountains are full of birds flying, lasting one hour and three moments, suddenly rushed into the air, birds flying with, covering the sky, flying south, I do not know where to go... ... " Since then, the people of Zhonghuang Village, in order to commemorate the auspicious phoenix, built a large-scale phoenix temple there, and the temple fair is held on March 26 of the lunar calendar every year. Thousands of people gathered, merchants like a forest, gongs and drums, Yangko fire in an endless stream. There is a clever device in her fire "high turn table that is carrying the pavilion", people called this temple fair "Gaotai meeting". In the inscription of the temple pavilion, there is also a record of carpenters Wang Yao and Zheng Pilin, who found that two children climbed up the treetop to do all kinds of play and were touched by the wisdom, so they converted the lonely general "Carrying Pavilion" into a "high turntable" with many sticks. It is not difficult to see that Zhonghuang Village's "Carrying Pavilion" was improved in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhaozhuang village, Xiangfen County, there is a elm table specially for carrying the pavilion as the base, the back of the table has the word "Shunzhi" with fire. Shunzhi "Is the founding of the Qing Dynasty, then, here" Carry the Pavilion "at the latest in the late Ming. On the red cloth "flag" that guides the march of "Carrying the Pavilion", there are ink books Jiaqing It can be seen that "Carrying the Pavilion" prevailed here in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Although "Lifting the Pavilion" has been despised by the politicians of all ages, it is not worth a record, but it is rooted in the folk, strong vitality, generation by generation, from ancient to today. In the meantime, although it has experienced vicissitudes of life and suffered setbacks, it can develop and grow along its own path, from gradual change to mutation, from low to high. Since the reform and opening up, with the development of modernization, "carrying Pavilion" has begun to be carried by people into tractors, cars, cranes and other motor vehicles, from fixed to flexible. Such as dress up "Cowherd and weaving girl", can a combination to perform the scene of grief and joy; "The Heavenly Daughter Descends", the fairy can float from the height to land on the ground; "Chang 'e flying to the Moon", Chang 'e can fly from the ground to high places. All of these are performed with ease and vividness. It makes people feel noble and pleasing to the eye, and the literati once wrote a poem in praise:
"A pair of red sleeves dancing in the sky,
Just like Chang 'e running to the moon,
Ten thousand people look up to the clouds and play,
Folk art usurps the works of heaven."
