(Continued from the previous article) A burst of music that seems to be in the style of ethnic minorities floated in, interrupting me who was about to write a poem by the Yishui River. I let go of my six senses and listened carefully. ...the campfire started!
I used to work on projects in various places, so I have a deep feeling. The bonfire party is commonly known as "jumping on the bonfire" in Yunnan. It is dominated by the Yi nationality. All ethnic minorities have this custom more or less. It is widely distributed in all parts of Yunnan, and the source is no longer available. According to textual research, it is said that it first started from worshiping fire, and the types of dances became diversified. Luquan County is "dijiao". There are many young men and women, and dozens or hundreds of people dance together. This is relatively wild, and the venue for dancing is not particular. You can just set up a field in Yeling. When you dance, you must stomp your feet hard, and the sky is covered with yellow and gray. No matter young or old, they dance in their spare time when they are married. This is relatively petty bourgeoisie, and there are people playing sanxian next to it. The scene doesn’t need to be big, just a few people, but they must wear national costumes, and the movements are simple and brisk; the Naxi and Mosao people in Lijiang are called " “Dancing Guozhuang”, yes, it’s the same name as the Tibetans. There are so many movements in a dance, and those who don’t dance all the time can’t keep up. At the beginning, one person plays the flute and takes the lead, followed by a long queue with hands on shoulders, dancing and turning around the campfire. The movements follow the music, one dance by one, and five to eight dances in one dance. It starts relatively briskly, and then becomes very enthusiastic. Basically, it is holding hands and running and dancing. The big sanxian of the Ni people... I can’t explain it. Let’s find out for yourself. Anyway, on June 24 of the lunar calendar, which is the "Torch Festival" in Yunnan, the entire Yunnan Province is a large-scale bonfire scene (except Kunming, Banna and Zhaotong. ), as long as you are in the prefecture, whether you like it or not, you are passively participating, especially in Chuxiong.
Come on, everyone's cameras follow me back to the ancient city. At this time, a raging bonfire has been lit in front of the Babai Tower. Most of the women around the bonfire form a scene of their own. The men are generally more shy in this kind of occasion, and they are all outside or squatting Or standing, looking at the various things in front of you, it seems that they are the surrounding residents. The ancient city is a good way. It has both characteristics and a sense of activity, strong participation and sightseeing experience. It also provides a pleasant recreational and fitness place for the surrounding area without disturbing the people. , Do not block the road, and do not rob public land for people of other age groups, I must give a big praise.
You can't help but ask me why I didn't participate. It's not a big deal just to watch the excitement. If I stand among the dancing people, the scene~ um, unimaginable.
After dancing the three songs, the crowds began to flow back to the center of the ancient city. It’s my experience to see if there are too many people in the restaurant for dinner. If there are too many people, you can’t go wrong. If you go to play, you can see where the crowds gather.
I followed the flow of people through the snack street full of yelling and drinking, afraid of knocking over the seafood pot and beer bottle, I moved to the end of the street like stepping on a pile of plum blossoms, and let out a long breath: a small person like me naturally likes to hang out in the market , The original taste of life is in the noisy fireworks...
At this time, the surrounding area of the stage was full of people, there was no room on the stone benches, and a few circles were stood under the big tree. The passing crowd stopped to the sound of music, and the children were running around laughing. It was a very lively scene. I found a corner that didn’t interfere with my line of sight and stood still. I looked up at the stage. The stage was built according to the shape of an ancient Chinese stage. On the stage, a few girls in classical costumes were dancing a soft classical dance. To be honest, run I’ve seen quite a few on stage, most of them showing off their youth, but this troupe looks very good. The graceful figure and graceful dancing posture all prove that this is a group of entertainers with solid foundation. Red, with its appearance, nothing compared to tonight's performance.
....... I couldn't bear the girls in the stands to continue to be dusty, so I squeezed out of the crowd and walked along Yanwang Avenue to the square. (Later, I learned from the chats of passers-by that there is also an ancient orchestra playing below. There are more than a dozen people in the orchestra, aged 60+, and they are playing the ancient music of swallows. It is said that it was passed down during the Zhengde period and belongs to the non-heritage category)
Vendors along both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of small commodities, and the crowded street stalls almost block the road. The bustling flow of people and the leisurely vendors form a strong dynamic and static contrast. Looking at it, reflecting the bright lights under the corner of the eaves, there is a feeling of "suddenly looking back, but that person is in a dimly lit place". At this moment, this scene is so wonderful that it is enough to recall for a long time...
