Ying Song and Dance is coming to "bomb the street" again!
After a year-long upsurge, the British song and dance from the Chaoshan area ushered in the "second out of the circle". With the arrival of the New Year in Jiachen, the drumsticks of the "Chinese War Dance" not only sounded in the major towns and villages of Chaoshan, but also spread to the United Kingdom, thousands of miles away.
On February 11, local time, the Year of the Dragon, London's "Spring in the World" New Year Celebration was held in Trafalgar Square, Chinatown and other landmarks in central London. The scene was crowded with people, and London citizens rushed to tell each other, bringing their families to experience the charm of Chinese culture.
The six-minute performance of "The Heroic Wind of Songs" kicked off the celebration. The Puning Nanshan Ying Song Team performed while walking, parading all the way, with gongs, drums and shouts one after another, shocking the audience, attracting as many as 700,000 onlookers on the spot, and more than 100 ** companies came to report on this multicultural event.
English songs and hip-hop dance have the same effect
From "popular" to "long-term red", from "out of the circle" to "out of the sea", the 300-year-old British song and dance stands in the C position of the largest Spring Festival celebration outside Asia, what is the charm that attracts Chinese and foreign audiences?
The content is based on the story of "Water Margin" Liangshan 108 will attack the Daimyo's mansion, which is considered to be a symbol of good and evil, auspicious and peaceful, so it has also become the "finale" of the New Year's festival. As early as 2006, Yingge was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative items.
Lin Lunlun, a professor at Guangdong Technical Normal University and vice president of Jinan Dazhou Cultural Research Institute, believesYingge is not just an ordinary dance, the popular story of the heroes of the Water Margin "injects soul" into it, "this kind of heroic color that inspires people to move up, reflects the common artistic aesthetic requirements of mankind, so it has a global cultural value." ”
Yingge is also a perfect combination of dance and **, with strong local characteristics of Chaozhou gongs and drums, so that Yingge has a strong sense of rhythm. In Lin Lunlun's view, English songs are similar to popular street dance in the West, and English singers and dancers have more martial arts skills, so they are more artistic than street dance.
All ages participate in promoting the English song craze
And "amateurism" has also become the eye-catching point of British singing and dancing to continue to "go out of the circle".
Ying song and dance is so energetic, so amazing! Through the interaction with the English singers, many Londoners were surprised that these British singers were not professional dancers, and their shocking power and beauty were completely due to their years of spontaneous practice.
In the Chaoshan region, many English singing troupes rely entirely on amateur organizations of young enthusiasts. Founded in 1945, the Puning Nanshan Singing Troupe, which performed in London, England, has gone through nearly 80 years by relying on the persistence and inheritance of generations of young people.
Regardless of age, gender, industry, region, from a doll of a few years old to middle-aged and elderly people, as long as you put down farm tools, put down your schoolbag, and put down your mobile phone, you can knock Ying Song up. Lin Lunlun said.
Chen Ye, a lecturer at South China Normal University and a scholar of Chaoshan history and culture, believesYingge has always played a pioneering role in the tradition of folk parades, and can still be used as an envoy of cultural relations in international exchanges today. Under the plague of various uncertainties around the world, people need this kind of "bombing street" performance to boost their spirits, and people are of the same mind and reason, which is in line with the general law of cultural communication.
The inheritance of the English song "seeks change" and "dares to change".
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the "Youth Version" of the Nanshan Ying Song Team launched an equally wonderful parade in their hometown. Chen Laifa, coach of the Puning Nanshan Yingge Team and national representative inheritor of Puning Yingge, introduced that the Nanshan Yingge Team has enrolled more than 300 students in local primary schools.
Iron also needs to be hard. The inheritance of English singing and dancing not only "seeks change", but also "dares to change". Chen Laifa broke the tradition of "passing on the inside but not the outside, and the men but not the women", and actively promoted the "intangible cultural heritage of Yingge into the campus", radiating new vitality that keeps pace with the times.
Nowadays, the English song and dance that walks into the school will not only teach the children to dance, but also teach them to draw faces and tell the cultural stories behind the English song and dance. Yang Mingjing, an expert in the protection of intangible cultural heritage and the former director of the Guangdong Provincial Cultural Center, introduced that the Nanshan Yingge Team has cultivated three echelons of successors: in addition to the "** group", there are also "youth groups" dominated by middle school students and "youth groups" dominated by primary school students.
Cross-border co-creation of "no dead ends" shows the charm of intangible cultural heritage
Innovation can make young people like it; Only by liking can young people become inheritors. The use of new ** products to enhance the "visibility" of intangible cultural heritage is also the housekeeping skill of British singing and dancing "out of the circle".
Last year, Tengger sang the trendy rock "One Body of Righteousness", which kicked off the popularity of British singing and dancing on the Internet. The MV "Tide Soul Heroic Song" produced by Nanfang** and Nanfang+ has a total reading volume of more than 50 million on the whole network, and won the best production work award of the first "Light of the Greater Bay Area" Youth (Youth) Short ** Competition.
Since the beginning of this year, Yingge's ** popular models are still emerging on the Internet. Art, dance, martial arts, ......The multi-modal innovation of the whole mobilization shows the charm of British singing and dancing in 360 degrees "without dead ends".
From the stunning appearance of excerpts from the dance drama "Wing Chun" to the drama "Lion Boy" singing in the Greater Bay Area, Deng Yao, a first-class lawyer of the Cultural Heritage Public Interest Legal Service Center of Lifang Law Firm and head of the Guangdong Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Legal Aid Lawyer Group, said that the cross-border co-creation of short ** with film and television, animation, stage plays and other cross-border is becoming the unanimous exploration direction of Lingnan Cultural Heritage.
Let Lingnan heritage be integrated into the world cultural stage
In December last year, the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly officially designated the Chinese New Year (Chinese New Year) as a United Nations holiday. The "Year of China" upgraded to the "Year of the World", and it also brought an east wind to the "Dance Abroad" of the British song.
In fact, British singing and dancing have been frequently stepping out of the international arena in recent years. On the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, the performance of the Thai British Song and Dance Team in the shopping mall of Pananikhon District, Chonburi Province** became popular on the Internet.
Deng Yao introduced,In Thailand, English singing and dancing has become a bond of friendship between Chinese and other ethnic groups in Thailand. At the end of last year, the Chaoyang Ying Song Team, which has been inherited in Thailand for a hundred years, returned to their hometown for the first time, and "China and Thailand are one family" became a good story.
Yingge's next stage C position is **? Chen Ping, dean of the Institute of Cultural Heritage and Creative Industries of Jinan University, said that in addition to entering the international landmark, Ying Song and Dance can also be combined with the local culture and art to carry out "double creation" during the performance, so as to better integrate Lingnan culture into the big stage of world culture.
There is no doubt that the "fire" burned in the New Year of the Dragon will bring a "traffic password" to more Lingnan heritage stories out of the circle and out to sea.
