Xu Ning:

Incorporate the elements of modern life and explore the new way of inheriting the inheritance of non -heritage

The sound of the board, the gongs and drums were singing. The 31 -year -old Xu Ning supported his left hand and held two hands with his right hand. He kept twisting up and down.

Suddenly, the puppet turned around and turned his head. The original bright big face turned into a "Monkey King" instantly, and then changed from "Monkey King" to Guan Gong. In just a few seconds, it changed seven or eight times. Just as people were dizzy, the puppet mouth opened slightly, a "fire dragon" burst out, and even the mouth of the audience also opened the "O" shape. Everyone applauded and applauded.

Xu Ning is an employee of the Non -Heritage Protection Center of Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, Gansu Province. The puppet of the rod head is also known as the "elbow doll" in the local area. It has a variety of shapes. It not only imitates the performance of mythical characters, but also absorbs the role of opera Facebook. In the past, there were few entertainment activities. Local marriage and funeral, and the festivals of the year, often performed on puppet shows.

When it comes to the association with the puppet drama of the head, Xu Ning bluntly said "incredible". "I play a small practice Western musical instrument, and the university is also learning instrumental music at the Conservatory of Music." Xu Ning said that by chance, he came into contact with Sichuan opera change and was deeply attracted by the unique performance art of Sichuan opera. There are more than years.

After graduating from college, Xu Ning returned to his hometown and joined the Ganzhou Cultural Museum. At that time, the puppet drama inherited the "broken file", stopped, and the audience was narrow, facing the dilemma of "not welcomed by young people", and was in a state of endangered. The dilemma of the puppet show was deeply tingling Xu Ning.

"Why not combine Sichuan opera art with the puppet drama?" Xu Ning, who was born in the instrumental performance, mastered the survival of Sichuan opera such as changing face and fire in college. Confidence, Xu Ning thought, "If it is integrated into the elements of modern life to form a unique puppet show, maybe it is a new way to inherit non -heritage."

Just do it. He flipped through the books and materials, asked the Sichuan opera teacher, and asked local folk experts and traditional artists to borrow the principles of real people to change face and fire. The second test finally succeeded.

The modified puppet weight doubles, about 20 pounds. "This is a great test of the performance of the performers." Xu Ning introduced that the puppet show of the rod head pays attention to the merit, twisting, and pace. "The best effect. To this end, he really worked hard. In winter, he practiced Sanjiu and Summer training. He continued to exercise the endurance and physical coordination of his arms to ensure that the hem of the puppet dress was always the same as the person.

"The performance location of the puppet show is not restricted. Theater, tea gardens, house courtyard, lawn, and even fields can be performed. It is a drama performance that deeply embeds the social life of the masses." Xu Ning said that after innovation adaptation The puppet show, the rhythm is compact, the time is shorter, the performance is full of changes, bringing different visual impacts to the audience, which is becoming more and more popular. Not only that, he also designed the images of flying sky puppets and Yugu dance puppets, constantly incorporated into the Gansu region and national characteristics, and continued to increase the charm of non -heritage culture.

In recent years, Xu Ning has been absorbed as members by the Chinese Drama Association and the Chinese Folk Literary Artists Association, and has won the "Gansu Youth May 4th Medal". Nowadays, he has performed more than 100 games in his annual obligation, and has launched more than 50 inheritance activities such as non -heritage campus. The performance stays often become the "stop calling point" for young people. "Now, we have built an expert studio, are linked to colleges and universities, planning the establishment of college students' internship practice bases, attracting more young people to join the non -genetic inheritance team, and promote non -genetic culture." Xu Ning said.

Liu Yawei:

Traditional skills must be in line with the times and actively innovate

"Mountain spring lake is beautiful, the center of the Yellow River Basin, grab the advantages to promote development, it is the beautiful spring city Xin Jinan ..."

In the classroom, Liu Yawei, a librarian in the Huaiyin District Cultural Museum in Jinan City, Shandong Province, wore a coat and vivid expression, and the Allegro danced with the rhythm. He was medium, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a mouthful, his voice was loud and crisp, and he was loud.

Liu Yawei is 34 years old. He is a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage Wangpai Allegro. Master Wang Wenxi is the son of Wang Fengshan, the founder of the three major genres of Chinese Allegro, and the founder of the three major genres of Chinese Allegro.

Liu Yawei, who studied music since childhood, was "encountered" with Wang Wenxi in a Saxi performance at the age of 16. The old man was deeply impressed by this middle -aged child and sent him a fast board. Liu Yawei couldn't help but have an inextricable bond with the Allegro, and studied with Wang Wenxi. However, after all, Liu Yawei had no foundation, holding the Allegro more bigger than the slap in his hand, but he couldn't play the rhythm. However, he has the energy of unwillingness to lose, and he studies the scalp: the word is very long, the board is difficult, and he reads it over and over again.

After graduating from college in 2010, Liu Yawei first joined the Quanxin School of Huaiyin District as a music teacher, but he never forgotten the Allegro. Although Wang Wenxi has excellent skills and has a lot of students, there are not many people like Liu Yawei who can truly study and inherit inheritance. Once, the old man took the initiative to speak: "I am older, I want to find a successor to help me pass this craftsmanship. In the future, people can call it well!" With this mission and entrustment, Liu Yawei, Liu Yawei Formally worshiped Wang Wenxi and took the art name "Hongyi", and became a traditional Chinese inheritor.

At school, he took the initiative to ask the principal to open the Allegro Society "Hongyi Society", and use leisure time to teach, and organize performances once a week. Five students have become professional traditional song arts.

In the early days of the development of the community, Liu Yawei was questioned: "Isn't this a ticking board?" "Is this stuff out of date?"

"I feel uncomfortable, but I also reminded me." He said, "Traditional techniques must be passed on in modern times. You must conform to the times, the boss sings new and innovate."

In 2016, he created the group music allegro "Quanchengwa, praised China", and the number of performers expanded from traditional two or three people to at least 26 and at least 56 people. Singing lyrics, performance ornamental has greatly improved, and quickly became popular.

The show lived, but Liu Yawei was very sober. After taking the path of inheritance, he had to cultivate seedlings, and he had to rely on innovation. Learning art, it is easy to look at the lively, it is difficult to learn, and it takes at least two years to play the rhythm. At that time, many children in the community began to retreat.

Once, he took the child to see a toad -shaped wooden musical instrument in the cultural block, and scratched the sawtooth wood grain to make a sound. Liu Yawei was inspired by this, and sawing jagged on the edge of the small board of Allegro. The small board directly stumped with the large board through the jagged board, and made a crisp "click" sound.

"Novices can also have a rhythm, whoever tries to whom!" Liu Yawei was excited, calling him "toad board". The transformed Allegro can not only improve the enthusiasm of beginners, but also enrich the expression of allegro. At present, it has applied for national patents and has achieved mass production. The platform is sold.

Since then, Liu Yawei has become more and more vigorous. He found that the children were sensitive to color, and they boldly improved on the Allegro to increase patterns. The national wind blue and white porcelain, military cucumbers, and fun cartoons were very popular, and they also applied for the design patent of design.

Over the years, Liu Yawei has taught more than 8,000 obligations through various forms, and has obtained three national design patents, forming a complete teaching system.

Zhu Mengjia:

Young handsome artists should be able to bear loneliness and eat hardships

A carved knife with a width of about two millimeters, a few thumb -sized olive cores, on a workbench, Zhu Mengjia, a post -90s nuclear carving technician, is working, and saw her holding the knife tightly. The sharp knife tip jumped on the olive nucleus like a shy hood ... Within a few days, a carved beam painted and magnificent "Suzhou Garden" showed true appearance between the square inches.

"A carved knife and a core, the strategy of seeing the magic", Zhu Mengjia, 29, is a nuclear sculptor in Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. In 2013, Zhu Mengjia, who was still in the senior year of the Nanjing Academy of Arts, learned his arts and began to study nuclear carving skills. Starting from the grinding knife, in just over a year, Zhu Mengjia, who has the artistic foundation and good understanding, has mastered the basic skills of nuclear carving. After graduating from college, Zhu Mengjia returned to his hometown, set up a nuclear carving studio, and embarked on the road to entrepreneurship. "I am a young man, and I have studied artistic design in college. I want to give new tricks for intangible cultural heritage nuclear carving." Zhu Mengjia said.

After more than two months of buried ideas, a plan with the "Zodiac Smart Meng Pet" was taken in her mind. The design drawings are painted, but the carving is not small. Zhu Mengjia said that the traditional nuclear carving works have only one color. In the series of "Zodiac signs" series of works, the eyes of animals are black, which is equivalent to "coloring" for nuclear carving, and traditional nuclear carving craftsmanship There is no "color" process at all. To this end, Zhu Mengjia asked many older generation of nuclear carving craftsmen, and everyone could not think of a good way for a while.

Occasionally, Zhu Mengjia saw a boring artist with a burn of iron, and a beautiful landscape painting was branded on the wood and bamboo slices. Inspired by this, Zhu Mengjia tried to use a small drill with a special drill bitter to make a "finishing touch" for the "zodiac signs". Pet eyes are black.

After solving the problem of "coloring", the "Zodiac Smart Meng Pet" series of works finally appeared. Unlike traditional nuclear carving works, the "Twelve Zodiac Meng Pets" can be described as fashionable, with various styles, or innocent and dexterous , Or if you are stubborn ... Soon, this set of unique nuclear carvings has become a "explosion" in the market. It has harvested a large number of young nuclear carving fans, and the work is in short supply. After trying the sweetness, Zhu Mengjia accelerated the pace of innovation. Young people are keen on food culture, and she created "Jiangnan Taste" to move the "water eight immortals" such as chicken head rice, white white, and cress into the square inch. The carving placket; the popular cultural and creative products, she launched a mobile phone pendant made of nuclear carving ... The theme of the work is becoming more and more abundant, and Zhu Mengjia's business is getting busy.

The most proud of Zhu Mengjia is the "Red Revolutionary Spirit" created by her in 2021. The group of works sang 12 red revolutionary spirit through 12 lifelike nuclear carvings. In order to create "The Spirit of the Red Revolution", Zhu Mengjia has conducted in -depth research on many revolutionary districts to conduct research, perceive the spirit of the revolution, and temper the mind in creation. "The spirit of the dedication of the revolutionary martyrs gave me great motivation for my creative motivation." Zhu Mengjia said, "Young Shouci should be able to bear loneliness, eat hard, and the burden of inheritance and promotion of non -heritage skills. On the shoulders of a generation, we blame us. "Zhu Mengjia said.

What makes Zhu Mengjia happy is that the non -heritage skills of nuclear carving are being loved by more and more people. On the afternoon of August 12, in the "Taibei University Hall" nuclear carving experience class organized by Sujin Street Railway Station in Gusu District, Suzhou, Zhu Mengjia explained her works "nuclear boat" to elementary school students. When seeing the works of ingenuity, some children carried up the text "Nuclear Boat": "Through one boat, for five; for the eighth window; One ...
