The gong sounded, dressed in a light-colored costume, stepping on embroidered shoes, and holding a delicate bamboo basket. The colorful butterfly headdress fluttered with Xiao Dan's broken steps. The reflection of the lights makes people feel that there is rippling spring water in the eyes of the actors, which makes people's hearts warm.
This practical activity gave me a deeper understanding and understanding of tea-picking opera, and I was also full of confidence in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
Tea picking opera and tea picking are inextricably linked, reminiscent of the beautiful southern pictures - the mist veil, in front of the green tea leaves, in the distance is the rolling mountains, the mist blends the mountains and the sky together; The women who pick tea are in groups, you sing and I am, and there are bursts of laughter from time to time, "Ride the valley rain, pick new tea, a flag and a half gun, golden teeth". The development of the tea economy has also made a new development of tea-picking opera, and has been echoed by all levels of society. It is also "every month in the morning, the seat is often full, and when the wine is half-drunk, the creek sings the song of planting rice and picking tea"; Gannan tea opera ** life but also to life, service life.
If there is no agricultural activity of tea picking, will there still be tea picking plays? The spring breeze gusted, the valley rained a lot, and the tea picking girl followed the spring breeze, singing the tea picking song, and the feeling of exhaustion drifted away with the song. What a pure attitude to life, the joy of life is recorded with songs, and the unhappiness of life is dispelled with songs. After the performance, I interviewed the uncle next to me: "There are so many tea-picking scenes on my mobile phone, why do you have to come here to watch it?" The uncle looked at me and just said, "The troupe of the public tour sings in Hakka, which is more pleasing to the ear!" ”
Gannan tea-picking opera uses humorous and witty language, thick local accent, narrates the story, which makes people feel more intimate - "Wuwuzi", "icy cold", "rain", these Hakka words add a lot of charm to the tea-picking opera. But are these the reasons why so few people pay attention to tea-picking operas? For Hakka, the dialects of each place are different, and there are differences between towns, if you want to promote tea-picking opera, do you also need to have a unified language? Before the practical activities began, I also found different versions of "Fishing Crutches" on the Internet, although the Mandarin version is more understandable and understandable to the audience, but it also loses the unique charm brought by Hakka to the tea-picking opera to a certain extent. "Hakka dialect", as a unique language and art feature of Gannan tea-picking opera, can not only better express the character characteristics of the characters, but also increase the interest of tea-picking opera, which is an important reason why Gannan tea-picking opera can develop and be loved so far. I wonder if cultural creators should also take it into account when promoting Gannan tea-picking opera.
There are more than 40 tweets related to tea picking in Ruijin Wenguang New Brigade's WeChat***, from online to offline, and the participants of the event range from adults to children. One of the most exciting is that in 2020, the large-scale Gannan tea-picking opera "Seventeen Pines" was selected for the national grassroots opera troupe network performance, which can't help but make me feel the strong vitality of tea-picking opera again, which is also an important embodiment of promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture.
Through the contact with the Gannan tea opera, I deeply felt the cultural connotation and artistic charm contained in it. Gannan tea-picking opera is not only a traditional art form of opera, but also a cultural treasure in southern Gansu. It carries a rich history and tradition, and represents the rich and colorful cultural traditions of the Gannan region. Through the tea picking opera in southern Gansu, we can learn about the customs and lifestyle of southern Gansu, and feel its unique local characteristics and folk culture. The Chinese nation has a long history, and how many cultures are still asleep, waiting for us to wake up? The charm of intangible cultural heritage lies in their uniqueness and the spirit of inheritance. Each intangible cultural heritage has its own unique skills, performance forms and artistic characteristics, such as the singing, performance and opera of Gannan tea-picking opera, which attract the audience with their unique artistic charm. The spirit of inheritance is the core of intangible cultural heritage, and through passing it on from generation to generation, we can feel the power and charm of traditional culture.
