Today's Women's Daily Fengwang reporter Jiang Changfa intern Yang Tingting Liao Zixia correspondent Xiang Tao
On January 27, the launching ceremony of the 2024 Zhangjiajie New Year Festival was held in Dayongsuo Village, Yongding District. I saw thousands of New Year's goods stalls, mixed with all kinds of stalls in the crowd of people, a dazzling array of New Year's goods, one after another shouting, set off the strong New Year's flavor of Zhangjiajie.
As early as the day of the Laba Festival, Dayongsuo Village was the first to hold a New Year's Festival - Zhang Linyan is the planner of this New Year's Festival, and is also the secretary-general of the Zhangjiajie Intangible Cultural Heritage Research and Protection Promotion Association. She told reporters: "We want to use a wonderful cultural feast to activate the rural cultural tourism market and show the new atmosphere of the countryside in the new era, so that the general public and tourists can feel the hot fireworks and strong New Year's flavor." ”
The memories of lap-mei pursued by returnees
On the day of the Laba Festival, the village of Dayongsuo is lit up. Oranges, tangerines, bananas, strawberries and other fruits are neatly stacked, and the fragrant bacon, freshly baked fried oil baba, and Fu character couplets ......It's got it all here.
In the bustling crowd, many people are looking for the taste of childhood - the smell of bacon.
In the past, the mountains were poor, and it was inconvenient to go to the market to buy fish and meat, and it could not be stored for a long time, so every household would use the smoke from cooking every day to smoke bacon, and it would not be bad for several years, but more and more delicious. Zhang Linyan said that bacon stewed radish skin is the standard for the Spring Festival. The smoked bacon is firm and chewy; The sun-dried radish skin has a delicate taste when cooked, crispy and delicious. The combination of the two makes the bacon not dry, not firewood or greasy, "in the hearts of the Tujia people, 'cured meat' symbolizes the taste of the year, but also symbolizes the taste of the hometown."
Guo Shanshan is a young person who has just joined the work, she came to the market in the New Year, and she was not anxious at all when she looked at the long queue: "I just want to experience this lively feeling!" ”
The lively market is a grand memory of the Chinese New Year for all the people in the village, which also makes Zhang Linyan's thoughts return to the lively and extraordinary market scene when he was a child, "At that time, a small bench was put on the ground, and a cloth was spread forward, which was a stall."
The most noteworthy is "catching up with the New Year". "As the name suggests, to catch up with the New Year is to celebrate the New Year late at night on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, wait for dawn while eating New Year's goods, catch up with relatives and friends, and celebrate the fruits of a year's hard work. Zhang Linyan told reporters, "When I was a child, I liked to listen to my grandmother tell the story of 'catching up with the New Year'!" ”
After graduating from university, Zhang Linyan studied abroad and only came back once in a few years. "I've been to so many cities and tasted so many foods. But in my mind, the most flavorful and heart-touching flavor of the year is still the bacon of my hometown. Zhang Linyan said, I cherish a warm "Spring Festival" memory in my heart, where there is unforgettable nostalgia, carefree childhood and nostalgia holding hands and hugging each other.
The eternal drama inherited by the three sisters
After climbing thousands of mountains and wading through thousands of rivers, Qin Xianglian took her children to find her husband. "At the New Year's Festival, you can hear the sound of musical instruments playing and singing from afar.
This is a wonderful scene that happened in the Yongding drama "Qin Xianglian" on the New Year's Festival.
The predecessor of Yongding Opera was the "Dayong Han Opera", which originated from the local Nu opera, and later incorporated the elements of Jingchu Jinghe opera, forming a new type of opera integrating witch opera and opera culture. Behind it is a team that covers the old, middle, young and young. Among them, Hu Weijin is the "pillar" of the troupe, and he is also the actor of Qin Xianglian in the play "Qin Xianglian". And her love for Yongding Opera starts from her childhood.
In Hu Weijin's memories, when it came to the Chinese New Year, his sister's troupe spent almost all of the time performing outside, and everywhere he went, it was crowded with people who came to see the play. When he was six years old, Hu Weijin always went to the performance site to listen to his sister's singing under the pretext of delivering food to his sister. After watching it for a long time, after a scene, she can "restore" a scene offstage.
In 2017, Yongding Opera became the fifth batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage projects. The three sisters of the Hu family all love Yongding opera, among which the second sister Hu Dongzhi is the inheritor of Yongding opera, a municipal intangible cultural heritage project announced by the people of Zhangjiajie City. In 2017, Hu Weijin also joined the troupe of his second sister Hu Dongzhi to participate in the performance. Before each performance, Hu Weijin would go to Hu Dongzhi's house to learn singing and movements. Even when it's time to go home, she doesn't let it go.
Every year from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Weijin will perform with the troupe. I remember one year, when the crew of "Qin Xianglian" performed "Bao Gong also wanted to give Qin Xianglian 300 taels of silver for personal favoritism", the audience held their breath - "Hu Mingyi, the actor of Bao Gong, has a very shocking voice and movements. When he shouted to cut off Chen Shimei's head, all the audience consciously stood up, moved by Bao Gong's spirit of not fearing imperial power. This scene is deeply imprinted in Hu Weijin's mind. She understands that what she inherits is not only drama, but also the people's watchfulness of justice.
In order to let more people know about Yongding opera, we actively seek innovative ways to combine yang opera and Han opera to expand the audience of the opera, and there are more and more young fans. Hu Weijin said that now, the daughter of the second sister Hu Dongzhi is also following her to learn Yongding opera, "More and more young people are joining, which makes me full of confidence in its development." ”
Innovative patchwork embroidery for college students
At the New Year's Festival in Dayongsuo Village, embroidery, coasters, and woven bags ......A piece of beautiful patchwork embroidery works attract the attention of tourists from all over the world.
The patchwork embroidery works sold during the New Year's Festival are the traditional handicraft skills of the women of Dayongsuo Village that have continued for more than 600 years. "'Red cloth wards off evil spirits, and blue cloth stops disasters.'" Red with green, red with yellow is cute. Under the oil lamp, my grandmother hummed a little tune while embroidering my clothes and ...... for meAccidentally found this little hat embroidered by grandma, and the familiarity brought by the old object made Zhang Linyan fall into deep memories. In her view, patchwork embroidery represents not only an intangible cultural heritage technology and ancient handicrafts, but also carries the unspoken love and teachings of the female elders of the family.
Learning patchwork embroidery is a compulsory course for our Tujia girls, patchwork embroidery is not only the carrier of the female elders in the family to pray for the blessing of their children and grandchildren, but also the token of the subtle and introverted Tujia girl to convey the meaning of love to the opposite sex. As the non-genetic inheritor of Dayong's patchwork embroidery, Zhang Linyan told today's women's newspaper Fengwang reporter that Tujia girls often throw their embroidered embroidery down the stilted building and wait for the boy to pass by.
When he found that the embroidery with the wisdom of ancient craftsmanship was in danger of being lost, Zhang Linyan felt very sorry and at the same time made up his mind to learn and pass on this skill. She spent 8 years exploring and learning, walking through remote mountain villages, living in rural homes, and visiting embroiderers and old works deep in the mountains. In the end, she collected more than 100 pieces of patchwork embroidery and summarized more than 70 kinds of patchwork embroidery methods.
In the exploration and excavation of patchwork embroidery, Zhang Linyan has also been thinking about how to use the form to make the patchwork embroidery rejuvenate and maintain its vigorous vitality after going through faults.
Therefore, in the 2023 Dayongsuo Village New Year's Festival, patchwork embroidery appears in a more practical, portable, lightweight, and delicate form.
The "butterfly" of the butterfly, homophonic "Fu", symbolizes blessing; The "honey" of the bee symbolizes the ...... "sweetness".Keychains, brooches, jewelry, pendants and other patchwork embroidery items that are endowed with the meaning of blessing and warding off evil spirits are warmly sought after by tourists who come to visit the city.
In 2022, Dayong patchwork embroidery was included in the Zhangjiajie Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List, and its inheritors have more than 100 people.
Zhang Linyan said that she once met an aunt in her forties and fifties who kept 10 pairs of insoles embroidered by her grandmother at home, with different patterns and complex and exquisite patterns.
Relying on the CPPCC members' studio, we have launched projects such as the rural tourism of 'Dayongsuo Village Intangible Cultural Heritage Town' and the rural intangible cultural heritage tourism project of 'Dayongsuo Village Art Research Season', and intangible cultural heritage art innovation projects such as Dayong patchwork embroidery, Dayong woodcut prints, and Dayong wood carving have also been excavated and developed. Talking about the changes in Dayongsuo Village, Zhang Linyan looked proud, "In the future, we are going to tour abroad and send excellent intangible cultural heritage works, including patchwork embroidery, abroad." ”
