Suddenly, I heard that the building was changing, and Zhao Meirong came to the street. The girl's house walks in the wind and swings the willows, and Zhao Meirong walks the whole crown ......"Listen, early in the morning, who is in the Yukuo community of Beizhai Street, Laoshan District, sang their favorite willow dialect "Zhao Meirong Watching the Lantern" again. There is a proverb in the Yukuo community: "Pick up the hoe to farm, put down the hoe and sing." It can be seen that the villagers love willow dramas. From a simple performance form of a hand gong, a tambourine and a bamboo board to tell local stories, to now on the stage of various places and become the sixth batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage representative projects in Qingdao, with its unique artistic charm, Yukuo willow cavity has gradually grown into a wonderful flower blooming in the opera garden, and has also become a "flower of literature and art" that condenses the cultural bloodline, regional characteristics and folk customs of Laoshan Mountain. 
Origin · Sing the love for the peopleA gong played in unison, a low chant and shallow singing, and in the lingering sound of opera, we traced the origin of the willow cavity through the long river of history. The willow cavity is developed on the basis of the folk tone "elbow drum" that circulates in Shandong, between 1896 and 1906, it spread to the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the local folk songs, Yangge are integrated with each other, and gradually evolve into the plate cavity. Yu Yu Liu cavity originated in Laoshan North Mansion Yu Village, after development, in the late Qing Dynasty for its superb acting skills famous in all directions. In the early days, the performance form was simple, and the soundtrack only had a tambourine or a croaking board. In the later period, under the influence of the "four-string minor", the four-string huqin and suona were used. The modern Yukuo willow cavity integrates the bamboo flute, erhu, pipa, sheng, dulcimer, yueqin, zhonghu, big gong, hand gong, Su gong and war drum into the performance, and the singing tone is euphemistic and delicate, beautiful and smooth, forming a unique large flower cavity, medium flower cavity and small flower cavity, which enriches the performance form of the willow cavity. Listening to the willow dialect, you can hear the strong rural sound, and listen to the fresh, simple, funny and vivid folk culture. As soon as the authentic dialect is sung, it is easy to understand, simple and friendly, exaggerated and interesting, because most of the songs are developed from local folk songs and minor tunes, reflecting the customs of Laoshan, so it not only has a strong atmosphere of life, but also has strong local cultural characteristics, carrying the villagers' yearning for creating a better life, which is very infectious. From this point of view, the origin of the willow cavity is rooted in the inheritance of traditional culture, and also rooted in the people's love for life, so that it can endure in the historical changes. 
Prosperity · Adults and children can sing willow tonesThose who love it love it as they live, and regard it as the best in the song. After several generations of inheritance, there are more and more willow lovers in the Yukuo community, and there are more and more repertoire, there is a saying that "adults and children can sing", and the generations of people will pass on the willow cavity with practical actions, because that is the persistence and love of the older generation for traditional culture. In recent years, the Yukuo community of Beizhai Street has paid attention to the protection and cultivation of Yukuo Liucao opera, and with the strong support of the city, district and street levels, in 2007, Yukuo Liucao was rated as a representative project of intangible cultural heritage in Laoshan District, and in September 2021, it was rated as a representative project of intangible cultural heritage in Qingdao City. Yu Chu willow cavity is good at performing small operas and small songs, which is in stark contrast to the Jimo willow cavity that is good at performing big operas, which also gives it the favorable conditions for flexible innovation according to the needs of the times, which can not only add elements of the times to the traditional repertoire, but also integrate the popular form of expression into the new repertoire. In December 2023, the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism announced the list of outstanding units for the tour of mass dramas and dramas in Shandong Province. During the New Year's holidays, when the familiar tune sounded again, the performers waving their flowing sleeves, light and full of emotion took the stage to interpret the moving story, and they would "harvest" the applause and praise of the audience. One of the major features of the outfield is that the performance is amorphous, no sheet music is required, and the performers rely on "ear rhyme" to follow the changes in the singing voice of the infield actors and the on-site performance. Since the beginning of the last century, the outfield and infield have been inherited in an orderly manner, and have never been broken from generation to generation, forming a beautiful local cultural landscape. When the ancient and majestic classic singing voice is sung in the field of hope, the beautiful picture of the new countryside is also slowly unfolding to people. Future · Inheritance and innovation sing louderThe inheritance of cultural bloodline is not only to preserve precious genes, but also to open up new realms. Beizhai Street, Laoshan District, has identified the Yukuo Liucao as a key intangible cultural heritage project, attaches great importance to its inheritance and development, invests a lot of money to protect and support, hires professional instructors, improvises and innovates in a timely manner according to the needs of the times, and adds fashion elements to create a new repertoire that eulogizes the new era and reflects the people's living and working in peace and contentment. Beizhai was once the birthplace of the Laoshan anti-Japanese guerrillas, the flame of revolution was ignited here, and the precious red memory was melted into the genetic blood of Liuxiang, and the original work Liuxiang's new song "The Lighthouse That Never Falls" remembered history with a new singing segment, which received great repercussions among the masses. There are also "Sing a Mountain Song to the Party" and "Anti-Fraud", etc., so that intangible cultural heritage can be close to life, integrated into life, serve the present generation, benefit the people, realize the innovative development and creative transformation of intangible cultural heritage, create a strong atmosphere for the whole society to participate, pay attention to and protect and inherit excellent traditional culture, promote intangible cultural heritage to play an active role in the construction of local communities, culture and spiritual civilization, and also make intangible cultural heritage bloom with more charming brilliance. In addition to creative innovations, the Liuxiang Theater Troupe of Yukuo Community pays special attention to absorbing young forces and strives to make more young people fall in love with Liuxiang. At present, with the Liuxiang Troupe as the center, a group of young and middle-aged people who love Liuxiang have been cultivated through teaching classes, entering the community, and entering the campus. Based on rumors, historical stories and hot facts, we actively write the repertoire, rehearse on time, and perform on festivals. At present, with Laoshan District as the core, Yukuo Willow Cavity is not only active in the Jiaodong Peninsula, but also has its wings to take off and influence all parts of the country, radiating vigorous vitality and vitality.
