The lanterns are high and drums are playing together. In the Pan's Ancestral Hall, the Meitang Hall was filled with micro handicrafts such as Qiang Niang Pan and Ganguzha Tower.

On July 31, the "2022 · Guangzhou Qiqiao Cultural Festival" was officially launched in Tianhe and will continue until August 5. Compared with previous years, this year's Guangzhou Qiqiao Culture Festival has played a new way -experience traditional culture in the way of the Yuan universe, and the audience can immerse the charm of begging without leaving home.

In addition to introducing new technologies, what changes have been experienced in these years? In the process, which traditions have never changed? Next, how can Qi Qiao achieve sustainable development? A few days ago, on the salon of "Our Festival · Villagers and Scholars Talking on the Star Festival", the non -genetic inheritors of Tianhe, Huangpu, and Panyu, and scholars who studied folk culture and non -heritage protection gathered together to work together for Guangzhou Qiqiao culture. Concern and suggestions.

The original intention does not change: the generation of relay inherited the beggar culture

"The Guangdong people begging for Qiao, the lights are to Tianming." For Chen Zhonglie, a researcher at the Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences, this is not only a poem in the book, but also a beautiful childhood memory. He was born in the 1940s. At that time, the grand scene of the begging of his households was deeply in his mind.

The Qiqiao Festival began in ancient times, and the Song Dynasty reached its heyday. So far, many villages in Guangzhou still retain the custom of making ingenious products and worshiping the seven maids. Zhu Xiaoping, a representative inheritor of the Guangzhou -level city -level in Huangpu, remembers that when he was a child, he participated in the beggar activities in the village for the first time, which was shocked by the lifelike crafts. Since then, she has been fascinated by hand, and she started learning to make toys. For decades, Zhu Xiaoping's love has not faded. In 2000, the Zhu Family Ancestral Temple in Hengsha, Huangpu District restarted the begging activity. Since then, Zhu Xiaoping will participate in his works every year.

Coincidentally, Pan Huijun, a senior "Sister" of Tianhe Zhu Village, also liked to do handicrafts from an early age. Under the influence of her mother, aunt, and sister, she began to learn embroidered velvet flowers, pearl flowers, etc. In 2005, the first "Guangzhou Qiqiao Culture Festival" was held in Tianhe Zhu Village, which excited Pan Huijun. She couldn't wait to join, and since then she has been studying and making begging handicrafts. In recent years, Pan Huijun has assumed the heavy responsibility of spreading the beggar handicraft. In 2021, Pan Huijun was awarded the representative inheritor of "Tianhe Qiqiao Customs".

The tall archway, the mighty lion ... On August 1, the beggar folk craft exhibition kicked off in Lingbian Village, Panyu District. The reporter saw at the main venue that there were multiple lanterns and lanterns hanging on the field, adding a lot of Tanabata holiday atmosphere. It is reported that there are 80 "Qiqiao Edition" for the citizens to visit the main venue. Each version has a different story background and theme style. It has unique features and attracts many citizens to stop and visit. Many works in the exhibition are from the hands of Ling Guangcong and Zeng Xiufei. They are not only the beggar cultural inheritors in Panyu District, but also the best partner. They have created a number of large -scale works and are well -known. The age is rare, and they are still energetic, and they are happy to make beggar handicrafts. "Sometimes I forget to eat, and I will stop and rest after finishing."

The reason why he was so invested was because the Ling Guangcong couple hoped to attract more people to understand Qi Qiao and promote his generation to pass. This is also the greatest wish of Zhu Xiaoping and Pan Huijun.

Pure new: Qi Qiao is changing from content to form

In order to make young people fall in love with Qiqiao, they have made great efforts.

Ling Guangcong, engaged in agricultural scientific research, ingeniously added mechanical power devices in the pastoral scenery. As soon as the switch is pressed, farmers and objects can move. In 2012, the "Diligence Flowing Rice Fragrance" jointly created by their husbands and wives can simulate the labor process from farming, car water to dripping and rigidity.

Different from Ling Guangcong, Pan Huijun wrote an article on the content. Her begging crafts are not restricted to traditional styles and often create new elements. For example, the Asian Games, Xiguan House, Manned Rockets, etc. After the epidemic, she deeply felt the great medical staff, and specially produced a group of dolls in blue protective clothing. Pan Huijun will also use garbage as a raw material, "turning decay into magic", and making beautiful potted plants to promote the classification of garbage. "I prefer to make work with the times, so as to attract young people, and thus promoting the beggar culture." This year, there are several new works in the confession of Minomura Minadang: nucleic acid testing, fire prevention relief.

From the perspective of Tang Difei, an associate professor at the School of Art of South China Agricultural University, "changes" have been rooted in the gene of Qiqiao. Ten years ago, she inadvertently came into contact with Zhucun's beggar, which had a strong interest. After that, she led the team to take root in the Pan Shi Ancestral Hall, and she came into contact with the mother -in -law. Tang Difei observed that the raw materials of Qiqiao before were sesame, rice, and pumpkin seeds. Whether it is styling or craft, she feels that begging is actively keeping the pace of the development of the times.

For the Yuan universe digital Qiqiao Culture Museum this year, Tang Difei is full of expectations. She hopes that the new technology can remove the dust of history and let the public see the charm of begging in the precipitation of the years. Scholars suggest: Tianhe, Huangpu, and Panyu develop begging

Continuing the tradition of previous years, this year's Qiqiao Cultural Festival continued to walk out of Zhucun, set up nine major venues in the South China Botanical Garden, Guangzhou Tower, Zhengjia Plaza, etc. At the same time, through various models such as "non -heritage+cultural and creative", "non -heritage+tourism" and "non -heritage+research", it helps traditional culture to "break the circle" and integrate into a wider social space.

This is one of the means of building a beggar in Tianhe District in Tianhe District. Qiu Dailun, deputy director of Tianhe District Culture, Radio, Television Tourism and Sports Bureau, introduced that Tianhe District has many enterprises, covering the fields of culture, digital economy, and Internet. "The government leads, drives social resources, and helps begging to increase its popularity. This is what we have been thinking and trying."

However, such an extension is not enough to scholars. Professor Liu Xiaochun, a professor at Sun Yat -sen University's Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Center, pointed out that begging folk customs in Tianhe, Huangpu, Panyu and other places are very rich, each with its own strengths. Around 2015, he conducted field surveys in Panyu District to explore the past and present life of local begging culture. "They also do well, the original ecology." Liu Xiaochun said that if the three places can be linked to form the overall brand of Guangzhou, the influence will be greater. At the same time, Chen Zhonglie believes that if the beggars in other areas inside and outside the province can be invited to Guangzhou, they can promote the exchange of folk culture in different regions and make up for their strengths.
