During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Miao people moved into the barren mountains and canyons to escape the war, and were not immune to the attack of fierce beasts, they covered their bodies with various flowers and trees, out of awe, they burned the plants and birds and beasts with embroidery, beat the drum and sang all day long, recorded production and labor, until today.
Pinglang Village in Xiangxi Dwarf Village is one of the many mysterious Miao villages Nowadays, the Dwarf Village Bridge crosses the valley, the tunnel project passes through the mountains, and more and more new things have come here, but Pinglang Village still maintains many old tribal memories and has become a place to remain on the timeline.
Thirteen years ago, the Miao Drum teacher (Shi Jinqi) revived the village's declining Miao Drum skills, and now the Miao Drum Team composed of more than 200 men, women and children in the village has become the signature of the village.
Shi Jinqi's most talented student, Luo Fengjuan, not long ago, his father was seriously ill, and his mother became the only laborer in the family, and she had to go to the city to work, and the family was all taken care of by Luo Fengjun, who was only twelve years old. The master and apprentice will often practice drums and talk together, and in the process of getting along for a long time, Shi Jinqi has become a teacher and a mother.
Before six o'clock in the morning, Luo Fengjuan was going to help Shi Xianzhen Zhang Luo Tofu Shop in the same village, and in return, Sister Shi would give Luo Fengjuan a basket of tofu to subsidize the family. The cobblestone walls in the alley are where Luo Fengjuan used to practice drums, but now, she can only make a short stay, because it is almost time to decoct her father's medicine.
In addition to Miao drums, embroidery is also the best skill of Miao women, every New Year's holiday, Miao people will use embroidery to make gifts, commissioned by Shi Jinqi, Luo Weiying this year to make two pieces of drum sticks and streamers embroidered with drum patterns as Shi Jinqi's New Year's gift to student Luo Fengjuan.
Her father's condition has improved, and Luo Fengjuan can also find time to go to the teacher's house to practice drums. Miao Gu has long since evolved from assisting the soldiers and boosting the morale of the army to a way for the tribesmen to celebrate. There are about 16 ways to play the Miao drum, and most of the movements are to record labor and surrounding things.
The monkey drum celebrates the intelligence of the monkey, the welcome drum commemorates the hard work of the cow, and Shi Jinqi's "Miao Drum Shen Yun" is one of the more difficult to play among the welcome drums.
The villagers began their last rehearsal before the New Year's party, and for Luo Fengjuan, the drum stick may be just a New Year's gift, but for Shi Jinqi, it is the first step to continue the tribal memory.
The cold air in the valley urges the arrival of winter, but Pinglang Village welcomes the arrival of the new year in the most enthusiastic way, time continues to move forward, and the world is also moving forward. The amazing technology of the bridge and the wisdom of the whole country through the tunnel broadcast space let visitors come here, and Pinglang Village retains time and memory, through the tunnel to see the Miao ancestors in the old days, just as before.
