|The meaning of "Helan Mountain Grand Ceremony".
In modern Chinese, "Grand Ceremony" refers to a relatively grand ceremony, a large-scale, solemn ceremony. "Helan Mountain Grand Ceremony" can be understood as "a grand ceremony held for a new round of development and protection of Helan Mountain", and it can also be understood as "a grand ceremony held by Helan Mountain to welcome tourists from all over the world".
In other words, "Helan Mountain Ceremony" must have a sense of ritual, and the process must be clear. From the first part "Mountain Encounter" to the second part "Mountain Soul", and then to the end "Mountain Language", the flow is natural and the logic is strict.
"Mountain Encounter" shows the encounter between man and nature, and the encounter between man and man.
"Mountain Soul" shows the stubbornness of the mountain and the persistence of people.
"Mountain Language" shows the mountain's questioning of people, and the human's questioning of themselves.
In fact, besides the meaning of "ceremony", the word "ceremony" also has another meaning, which is "system and etiquette". There is an article in "Yi. Xici Shang", "The sage has the ability to see the movement of the world, and to observe its communication and perform its ceremonies." It means that the sage who edited the "Book of Changes" has a way to introduce the activities of the world. He observes Typical activities that conform to generally implemented laws, regulations, codes of conduct, and traditional customs. "Using its rituals" actually refers to how to do things and what kind of rules to do things. Xia, Shang, and Zhou had different ceremonies, and their descendants had different political systems.
In this sense, "The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain" can be understood as "for thousands of years, people living on Helan Mountain have implemented a unique system"; What kind of etiquette should be used to ask the unmoving Helan Mountain, and what rules must be followed to realize the beautiful ideal of harmonious coexistence between modern people and ancient Helan Mountain.”
The line "Why did you come here" at the end of "The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain" is thought-provoking. In particular, repeated inquiries about the design make people feel awe and dare not move blindly.

|The secular story of "The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain"
1. Sacrifice stories
In ancient times, people living on Mount Helan, like ordinary people living in any other place, attached great importance to sacrificial activities. As soon as the stage play opened, there was a grand group dance of men. This group dance showed the regional nature of the sacrificial scene and the main character of production and life. Serious, grand, passionate, well-intentioned.
Look at the small props in the hands of the dancers, one in each hand.
When the hands are separated, we see that the male dancers each have two pocket knives, one in their left hand and one in their right. As herdsmen living on Helan Mountain, a knife is a necessity for their life. A small knife is used for self-defense, a small knife is used for slaughtering sheep, and a small knife is also used for eating large pieces of meat. Two small knives show the scenes and situations of daily life.
When the two hands are brought together, we see a complete sheep's head mask in front of the actor. With the sheep-head mask, there is a grand scene of rock sheep standing on the peak of Helan Mountain, and there are life fragments of mountain people driving their flocks into the mountains to herd sheep.
At the end of the dance, the big goat-head props were carried to the front of the stage and lined up in a long row, which was very spectacular. The big leaders, with red veils tied on their heads, stood docilely at the entrance of the stage, handsome, auspicious, and festive. It can be seen that the people living on Helan Mountain live a beautiful, rich and peaceful life because of the gift of Helan Mountain.

2. Disaster stories
"Helan Mountain Ceremony" shows two tragic scenes of disasters in Helan Mountain.
A disaster is a natural disaster, and a disaster is a man-made disaster.
Although the mountain people believe that the continuous heavy snowfall in Helan Mountain was caused by the prince's illegal tree cutting, but the prince's illegal cutting of a tree will not cause continuous heavy snow. This plot design mainly reflects that the mountain people have the desire to protect Helan Mountain. consciousness. No one is allowed to cut down the trees on Helan Mountain. Whoever cuts down will be punished, even if you are a prince. What really brought about the snow disaster was the unpredictable character of nature. The snow disaster is a disaster for the mountain people living here, but for the majestic Helan Mountain, the snow is so heavy that the sky is not open. It is the time for the mountain god to replenish water for the plants, trees and beasts, and it is the time for the mountain god to put on makeup and change clothes. Time to meet the sun god. The design of this snow disaster scene shows the magnificence of the snow scene of Helan Mountain and the sacred and inviolable majesty of Helan Mountain.
As for the fact that because of the war, the mountain was set on fire, which once again pushed the angry face of Helan Mountain in front of the audience. When the wildfire broke out, through 3D technology, the stage presented a horrifying scene of a double-layer fire burning. Coupled with the beeping sound effect of burning vegetation and the faintly smelt burnt smell in the air, it makes people feel that the fire in Helan Mountain has already burned to the auditorium, and people have nowhere to hide. They have to be buried in the flames and find a dead end. The awe of Helan Mountain, the awe of nature, and the hatred of man-made arson, all kinds of emotions rushed out.

3. Family education story
The Chinese nation has paid attention to family rules and family education since ancient times. "Helan Mountain Ceremony" is no exception. The weather is cold and the orphans and widows are struggling to make a living. The kind prince risked being severely punished by the family rules and education, and "cut down" the trees on Helan Mountain. The whip hit the prince, hurting the prince's eyes, and hurting the hearts of the herdsmen who were helped. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The prince and many mountain people insisted that the prince be severely punished, so as to serve as an example to others. The family rules are strict and the family education is strict. Maybe this is the support of the mountain people to live and thrive on Helan Mountain for generations. In the words of the blue sheep elves: Is cutting down trees a good idea to save people? Or the evil thoughts that hate the mountains and forests? As long as it is a kind thought to save people's lives, cutting down trees is a sin that can be forgiven. What a beautiful institution and manners!

2. Soft silk
I have never seen such unexpected use of the mechanism of soft silk.
The first is the soft silk curtain before the opening. It is like a huge fuchsia flower, opening down from the top of the theater. On the petals, the projection of auspicious clouds rotates to form a wave of water patterns, and it seems to rotate into a wave of cloud patterns. This kind of specious rotation makes people's thoughts misty. . When the projector puts the subtitles ""The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain", screenwriter Tang Rongyao" on the soft silk, the audience will mistakenly think that "The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain" is a black and white movie. When reading the amazing black and white subtitles, the soft silk curtain shrinks away with a "swish", there is a kind of panic of waking up from a dream, and a kind of surprise of a bright future. A mirage-like stage suddenly appeared in front of the audience. Viewers will feel that they have switched from the era of black and white movies to the 3D/5G era of sound and light in an instant, which is very time-traveled.
This is followed by a tube-shaped soft silk that envelops the son and the cabernet sauvignon. In life, we often encounter the embarrassment that the depth of love has nowhere to hide. In "The Grand Ceremony of Helan Mountain", the tube-shaped soft silk that fell from the sky protected the shyness of the son and the cabernet fairy in time and thoughtfully. , masked. When the towering tubular soft silk suddenly falls freely, a unique visual art phenomenon appears and disappears every minute. It is a waterfall, which flows faster than a waterfall; it is hair, which is lighter than hair falling to the ground.
Once again, the five vertical red silks slid freely and rapidly from the crossbar one by one. It looks like flowing red clouds and steaming red mist. It is dizzying and unforgettable.

3. water
The "Helan Mountain Ceremony" used three waters throughout the show.
One is shallow ditch water. The canal water is naturally the Yellow River water drawn from the Yellow Irrigation Area. Beside the woods, by the canal, the red flower girl who grows grapes, carrying a basin, comes to the canal to wash clothes and feet. This scene is presented by a group dance of women. The dancers stood on the water and danced, and the splashes they kicked, under the effect of the lights, were like strings of pearls, sprinkled around and towards the audience seats. Their skirts were also stained with drops of water, and they ran away wet all the way. The girl's freedom and freedom, and the coolness at the foot of Helan Mountain in summer all depend on this shallow pool of clear water.
One is heavy rain from the sky. The rain column poured down from the top of the stage, forming a rain curtain, and the raindrops hit the floor of the stage, splashing one after another, making a loud sound. Fortified in the south of the Yangtze River, under the Helan Mountains, the joy of rain after a long drought, who doesn't love it?
There is also a large vat of water, rising unsteadily from "below the horizon". Some people say it is a large glass of dry red wine, while others say it is a pool of water curtain hot spring soup. No matter what kind of liquid under Helan Mountain is associated with it, it is the correct answer. The most important thing is the underwater dance performance segment, which is magnificent and pushes the appreciation of the stage play to the extreme.

4. Zip line
Under normal circumstances, the audience will feel that only acrobatic performances can see high-altitude rope auxiliary performances. However, in the "Helan Mountain Ceremony", you can also enjoy high-altitude dance performances like acrobatics. When the blue sheep spirit floated slowly above people's heads relying on high-altitude ropes, she smiled and waved to the audience, casting a kind and joyful expression. The audience responded to the blue sheep elf's greetings, took pictures of her, applauded her, and blew her kisses.

5. Umbrella
In the scene of continuous heavy snowfall on Helan Mountain, some snowflakes actually fell from the high altitude on the left and right sides of the audience seats. These snowflakes fell on the audience's head and body, completely bringing the audience's feelings into the plot of the heavy snow. Several transparent umbrellas are placed on the audience chairs in advance. The audience, who were unbearably cold in the snow, opened their umbrellas one by one. The white and crystal-clear umbrella surface was illuminated by the light, as if several huge blocks of ice had frozen on the left and right sides of the stage. An unprecedented visual design effect makes people scream.

6. Lifting stage
It has never been seen that the lifting stage is used in the plot of "jumping off a cliff". At the front and center of the stage, there is an elevating stage, which transports a tank of water up from below, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon to sink to the bottom, spinning and bubbling like a fish, which is unexpected; The "shape" of Helan Mountain was secretly transported down, mysterious; it made the young warriors guarding Helan Mountain fearlessly jump off the cliff and be buried in the abyss, which is shocking and heartbreaking. People are in awe.
It is no exaggeration to say that coming to Yinchuan, Ningxia, and not visiting Manpu Town is tantamount to not coming; coming to Manpu Town without watching "Helan Mountain Ceremony" is tantamount to being in vain. "Helan Mountain Ceremony" is an unprecedented gluttonous feast.
