Introduction of yangko

The more you watch this play, the more wrong it is. After seeing Wu and Zhao in Hutou Bay jointly force the parents of the sea cat to die, I turned from the story of spitting dog blood to thinking about the connotation of the play. It doesn't matter if you don't think, you get a fright when you think. Jiaodong, Shandong Peninsula and Qilu land are called the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. What is the difference between the human tragedy that happened on the land of Hutou Bay and the inhumanity of the separation of flesh and blood, and the Japanese devils who want to exterminate our nation? Therefore, in my opinion, from the beginning, this drama obliterated the great civilization of benevolence, righteousness and fraternity of our Chinese nation with a completely absurd fictional plot, and should not be widely broadcast. I suspect that this drama is a cultural attack weapon made by hostile forces, and I suggest that the relevant departments review it again.

The history of yangko

According to the records in Brief Introduction to Liu Bian, the performance time of Yangko is on the night of Lantern Festival, with a person dressed as an umbrella lamp selling plasters as the lead singer, followed by three or four women dressed as "boys" and three or four people pretending to join the army. They all hold "two-foot-long" logs in their hands. There are ethnic minority elements in the Yangko performance, which was formed in the Yuan Dynasty at the latest. The information value provided by Cangxian Annals in Hebei Province in the Republic of China should be paid enough attention to. First, it is suspected that the meaning of the naming of yangko is "transplanting rice seedlings to sing in the south", and another name of yangko-"yangko" is put forward. Secondly, the formal characteristics of North China Yangko are described in detail, which is similar to that of Northeast Yangko, among which the costumes and props of each role are the most noteworthy. For example, the "interest" held by "Gongzi" can be related to the shape and function of "bamboo pole" in Song Zaju, and to the formation of "Luozi", which is an important material to solve problems in the history of traditional Chinese opera. As for "robe and short robe, boots and feathers", it should also be regarded as the clothing of ethnic minorities.

origin

Yangge originated from the working life of transplanting rice seedlings and ploughing fields, and it is related to the carols and songs sung in ancient times to pray for harvest and disaster. In the process of development, we constantly absorbed the skills and forms of agricultural songs, yangko (a form of folk songs), folk martial arts, acrobatics and operas, thus developing from ordinary yangko singing to folk singing and dancing. By the Qing Dynasty, "Yangko" had spread all over the country. In order to show the difference, people often put a certain area or formal characteristics in front. For example, drum yangko (Shandong), Junzhuang yangko (Henan), northern Shaanxi yangko, local yangko (Hebei, Beijing, Liaoning), Manchu yangko and stilt yangko. Ancient paintings in the south, lanterns, tea picking and Ying Ge, which are popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong, have different names, but they all belong to the type of Yangko, and they are all derived from Yangko.

Yangko before liberation

The "head stick drum" is the highest in the team, followed by "two stick drums" and "three stick drums". Dai Wensheng, the leader of the yangko team, is wearing a towel, a cloak and a folding fan. He is the only one who doesn't have a coat, so he is called "silly son" and "shirt puller". The tail of the yangko team is called "Lao Zuozi", which is also a posture: "Shangzhuang" is a coquettish old lady with two sticks in her hand and red peppers in her ears; "Xiazhuang" is a funny-looking hunchbacked old man with crutches. Some people in the Yangko team pretend to be the characters in the story, such as Green Snake, White Snake, Pig Bajie and the Monkey King. There are sixty or seventy people in the yangko team, and twenty or thirty people are young.
