At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of March 2, the 10th Folk Culture Tourism Festival and the Parade of Changle Pavilion Story Meeting in Changle Town, Miluo City, kicked off with great expectations.
This thousand-year-old folk activity, which was originally scheduled to be held on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, was postponed for a week, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the people in the ancient town for the story.
"The Case of Bao Gongju", which promotes honesty and integrity, and "Humen Sells Tobacco", which warns to stay away from drugs, shows loyalty to the liver.
The righteous courage of "Yangmen Loyalty" ......A total of more than 400 stories were staged in turn on Listing Street and Lower Market Street, which made people dizzy.
Colorful flags fluttering, majestic gongs and drums shook the sky, the dragon dance team tossed and danced, the colorful lotus boat swayed, and the waist drum team also joined in to help build momentum for this "story carnival".
It is worth mentioning that there are more than 1,800 participants in this parade, ranging in age range, from 4-year-old children to 76-year-old seniors, and about 500 children and teenagers, showing the wide public base of the Changle Pavilion Story Club.
The prince of stilts" Zheng Dajun was one of the focal points of the audience. He stepped on 5-meter stilts, wore a bright red "Seven Sesame Official" costume, wore an official hat, and held a folding fan in his hand, making his debut on the stage, attracting bursts of applause from the audience. He revealed that he originally wanted to challenge the 6-meter stilts, but due to the sudden cracking of the stilts, he temporarily changed to 5 meters, "This time it is not enjoyable, and I will try higher stilts next time." ”
In addition, 4-year-old actor Qiu Yingzhi has also attracted much attention. She is less than 1 meter tall, stepping on 1-meter stilts, and her appearance is very cute, which made the audience cute. It only took her four or five days to learn to step on stilts, and she learned to step on 1-meter stilts in half an hour, showing the talent of Changle people to step on stilts.
The story of Changle Pavilion is the "performance art" of Changle people, which integrates performance, painting, history, astronomy, geography, literature, folk sentiment, and the spirit of the times. This ancient and unique traditional art was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2011 and has become a "living fossil" for locals to celebrate the Lantern Festival and experience history and culture.
