At the beginning of the new year, as one of the landmark buildings in Shijingshan District, Gongbei Pavilion was opened to the public for the first time and quickly became a popular check-in place in western Beijing. Among them, a group of intangible cultural heritage inheritors of the "Bingxin Holy Society" from the streets of the ancient city and community residents became special guests to visit the performance. At the scene, everyone beat the gong and danced the dragon, performed the intangible cultural heritage, and wrote the blessing word to leave a message, which was not lively.
Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, the temperature was still hovering at minus 10 degrees Celsius, but Dong Jinghe, who is 62 years old this year and serves as the head of the Chinese Army's Four Ruling Flower Associations, at the "Bingxin Shenghui" in Gucheng Village, did not feel cold at all. Soon the flower party will be performed, and he rushed to Shijingshan Gujian East Square in advance to warm up. I saw him pick up the rope on the dragon's head, pull the little dragon's head, swing his wrist slightly, and a yellow dragon immediately danced in the air. Gradually, the actors of the various flower festivals arrived one after another, and the Taiping drums, big cymbals, small cymbals, and public stone locks practiced one after another, and the silent square instantly became lively and lively.
Gucheng Village's "Bingxin Shenghui" began in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and has been inherited for more than 400 years, including money and grain baskets, public stone locks, Taiping Song Meeting, Zhongjun, Sizhi and other "flower ten gears", and will step on the street on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year, entrusting the villagers with good wishes for smooth weather and happiness and health in the coming year. Don't look at the "Bingxin Holy Society" has been inherited for many years, and most of the actors are old people in the village, but it is the first time to perform in Gongbei Pavilion. Just in time for the New Year, everyone is in good spirits, holding back their energy to dance the flowers. At half past 9 o'clock in the morning, the flower show officially began, the scene of gongs and drums, the voices of the people were boiling, the actors dressed in red robes, green clothes, yellow coats, and white shirts appeared in turn, and the flower party was staged in turn. In the distance, the quaint Gongbei Pavilion shines brightly, making this intangible cultural heritage performance more charming.
Everyone usually practices alone, and this time I have the opportunity to perform at the Gongbei Pavilion, and I am looking forward to it. Dong Tiecheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the West Community of the Old Ancient City, said. As a traditional intangible cultural heritage activity, it is not easy to pass on the "Bingxin Sacred Society", and it has experienced at least four resumptions in more than 400 years. "This New Year's event has made a good start for us, and the next head of our flower party plans to go to Gucheng Primary School and No. 11 Middle School to give lectures to attract more young forces to participate in the flower show together. After the performance, everyone packed up their affairs and moved to the Gongbei Pavilion next to them. At present, the exhibition of Mr. Jin Shangyi's classic works is being exhibited here, and everyone listens to the explanation while watching the exhibition and enjoying a high-quality cultural feast. Later, everyone also climbed to a high place, overlooking the beautiful scenery of western Beijing, and wrote blessing characters and messages on the spot, spending a morning full of cultural flavor.
This time, the street community invited us to visit, and my heart was both happy and warm. In the past, we all volunteered for others, volunteering for haircuts, picking up trash, directing traffic, and so on. Now that the Spring Festival is coming, the street community not only hasn't forgotten us, but also sent us a cultural feast in this form, and we are so happy. Yao Jianmin, captain of the Little Horn Civilization Propaganda Volunteer Service Team in Shijingshan District and a resident of the second community of Beixin'an, said, "In the new year, I will write the 'transmission of love' in my message, hoping that my team and I can continue to send care and love to more people, and wish everyone a happy and safe life in 2024." Li Ying, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Gucheng Street, introduced that on the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, the residents of the district were organized to participate in the "Cultural New Year's Greetings of the Gongbei Pavilion", which was to celebrate the New Year in the form of cultural services. At the event, many residents' "micro-wishes" were collected, and the street will then summarize and sort them out to form an actual project to benefit the people, and take the New Year as an opportunity to strive to carry out refined governance practices and send more high-quality services to the people in the jurisdiction.
