Cultural Interpretation of Laoyi

From the past, people called Chang, Luan, and an old musician, and there are different opinions on this. The word "ten thousand words" is annotated in Kangxi Dictionary as "people in the south admire people in the north for ten thousand words". According to this derogatory sense, the old man refers to a person who has evil thoughts, is ambitious but has no talent, dies with a good face and is a layman. That is to say, it is an insult to the musicians of Changluan. I can't agree with this, and I am even more indignant. The so-called northerners generally refer to all the people north of Jianghuai in history. How can the word "Zi" only be crowned with long and disorderly music? According to the annotation of Ci Hai, the local people call the foreign accent "Yi", and some people say that the old Yi 'er is a homonym of Laoting. These two statements are neither derogatory nor appreciative, but neutral. Others say that the word "Lao Yi Er" is a simplification of the old man and his son, and it is a respectful title for the musicians of Chang Luan. No matter which of the above explanations is correct, it is an indisputable fact that Chang Luan musicians are called old children. As for the word "Yi", whether it is derogatory or commendatory, Changle people are not only tacitly aware of it, but also proud of it, because the old Yi people created the old Yi culture, and the benevolent people and scenery articles contained in the old Yi culture shine from generation to generation. In modern times, Li Dazhao, a great revolutionary pioneer, was the first to spread Marxism–Leninism in China. As for the prime ministers, scholars, literati, three religions and outstanding artists, there are countless. In the old cultural circle, it can be called "a generation of talents, each leading the way for decades."

The reason why the musicians of Changluan are collectively referred to as "Lao Xi 'er" is not only because prominent figures have appeared in the past dynasties, but also because people in five counties have similar personalities, the same customs and the same pronunciation. One of the most representative is pronunciation, such as the charm of singing and the long and euphemistic ending, which is what people call old words. Some people say that Luanxian is an old man in Beijing, Laoting is an old man with flowers, and Changli is a pure old man. There is no essential difference only from the charm of his pronunciation. In view of personality, customs, pronunciation, etc. All belong to the cultural category and can be collectively referred to as the culture of the elderly. The Old Culture of "Two Wonderful Flowers"

In the cultural circle of Lao Yi, not only many outstanding figures have emerged in the past dynasties, but also the word Lao Yi shines brilliantly because of its numerous artistic wonders. Such as Pingju in Luannan County, Shadow Play and Drum Play in Laoting, and "Three Songs" in Changli. , in a unique way in the art world of the motherland.

The emergence of the above art forms is not only the crystallization of the talents of the old people, but also the result of the creation of * * *, and its background is inseparable from the old culture. Pingju originated in Luannan County, and its founder Cheng has been recognized by the world. I don't know how many old people behind Cheng worked hard for the appearance of Pingju. As we all know, Cheng didn't begin to comment on the drama until he wrote "Tell Sister Yang", but the original script was written by the old stationmaster of Luanxian County. Wang Laiyu, the son of Wang Yiran, worked in Changli County Bureau of Culture and Education in the 1980s (he had been engaged in well-known performances, singing and other cultural programs for many years, with outstanding achievements), and he knew this matter very well and kept his father's manuscript for a long time (unfortunately, it was destroyed by 1976 Tangshan earthquake). The old patrolman was very familiar with the artists of the troupe, so Cheng entrusted him to write a script based on the story of Dog Village in this county (now Luannan County), which was written by Wang and directed by him. After the performance, it was a blockbuster and caused a sensation. At that time, people didn't pay attention to the so-called copyright and the right of signature, and they weren't in the drama class, so "Tell Sister Yang" was passed on to Cheng. This passage is not to question the conclusion of the founder of Mr. Cheng Lao's drama criticism, but only to prove that the art of drama criticism is the crystallization of the wisdom of old children.

Another example is the world-famous Three Songs of Changli, in which the focus of folk songs is to emphasize the need to sing "flavor", that is to say, to sing old songs with strong local flavor. At that time, the singing forms of Changli folk songs were divided into yangko tune, stand-up singing and dialogue, in which the dialogue was first sung by two people with a pair of bamboo boards, and then gradually evolved into song and dance with a band, which became the embryonic form of Pingju art. It can be seen that in the old cultural circle, sister art can gradually sublimate into its own system and become a unique art form by learning from each other and learning from each other's strengths. "Changli Three Songs" include not only folk songs, but also blowing songs and land yangko. Blowing songs is a kind of drum music, which can be played alone and is an indispensable accompaniment instrument for yangko. As early as 1953, the local yangko program "Running Donkey" won the silver prize in the World Youth Student Festival. He has won many high awards in Shenyang International Folk Art Festival, National Fitness Dance Competition for Middle-aged and Old People, National Stars Award Competition and other major events, and won the reputation of "running donkeys and lotus lanterns from Nanjing to Beijing" in the entertainment industry. In practice, "Changli Three Songs" inherited and developed Lao Dai culture. Pingju, Laoting Shadow Play and Laoting Drum are called the three branches of Jidong art. Pingju has already jumped into the ranks of major operas covering the whole country, winning glory for the old culture and having far-reaching influence. Laoting shadow play and Laoting drum are not only deeply loved by local people, but also have certain markets all over the country.

Laoting shadow play is a kind of Chinese shadow play with a long history and great influence. In its singing, the old Yi language should be used as the standard, with soft and charming tone, beautiful expression and natural music. If foreigners want to engage in the art of shadow play, they must first pass the "proper mouth". "Zhengkou" refers to changing one's native dialect, practicing a pure old dialect, and then following the art. The art of shadow play has spread abroad as early as the Yuan Dynasty, and there are shadow play activities in Persia, Egypt, France, Britain, Germany and other countries. In particular, the shadow puppeteer Qi Yongheng (Gengzhuang, Changli County) has been to Europe for many times to perform and give lectures. By teaching the art of shadow play, he promoted the exchange of world culture and art and promoted the old-fashioned culture of his hometown.

Laoting Drum, commonly known as "storytelling", originated from folk songs. Based on the tune of the folk song "Qing Ge Ping", it was standardized as a calligraphy program, and with a drum board and three strings, it gradually became a leader among the northern folk songs in China. Singing laoting drums should also reflect the local voice and rap with old sayings. This makes foreigners sound awkward, but it makes locals sound with relish.

It is no accident that the artistic types such as Pingju, Shadow Play, Drum and Three Songs can be nurtured and developed in Laonai cultural circle, because there are three preconditions: social foundation, artistic foundation and mass foundation. In the cultural circle of my hometown, not only the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but also the only place for the mainland to reach the northeast. The land is fertile, the people are rich and the social foundation is superior. In Lao Dai's cultural circle, there is not only profound cultural accumulation, but also the extraordinary artistic talent of its people-its character is inherently participatory, its language makes people cry when they are sad, like singing when they are happy, and everything pursues artistic beauty everywhere. The regional characteristics embodied in personality, pronunciation and customs constitute the artistic basis for breeding wonderful flowers. Influenced by many factors, such as war and immigration, Laoai cultural circle has a large number of arts from other regions and ethnic groups. After the integration of foreign and local arts, they bring out the best in each other, which is the universality of the crowd and forms the mass base that breeds wonderful art circles. Third, the old culture that keeps pace with the times.

Once upon a time, musicians who were long-suffering were called old people, and even if they were interpreted positively, they would give people a rustic feeling. However, with the passage of time, the Lao Dai culture created by Lao Dai has been rich in fertile soil in the long river of historical development, and has repeatedly blossomed. In other words, this is enough to prove that since the old culture has written a glorious history, it should be prosperous today. Let it last forever and carry forward, and become a new topic of cultural construction for the elderly.

How to inherit and develop the old culture and make new contributions to the overall realization of a well-off society needs to be inherited selectively with a scientific attitude and a vision of keeping pace with the times. For example, in the old dialect, three mountains do not distinguish, four things do not distinguish, and two or three sounds are confused. Today, with the increasing popularity of Putonghua, it has become a local accent in the past. If you insist on imitating it, it will definitely make you laugh. Although the original old-fashioned pronunciation has been gradually replaced by Putonghua, it is no longer advocated in daily life, but at the same time, we must understand and learn. Just imagine, if you sing Laoting drum and shadow play in Mandarin, it will not be worth the loss, and the artistry of shadow play and shadow play with local characteristics will be greatly reduced. For example, occasionally saying a few old sayings in Pingju will make the audience feel fresh and have unexpected effects.

And in today's society, the correct use of the old culture can still resolve many unnecessary disputes. As we all know, Pingju originated in Luannan and Tangshan, and Changli County also demonstrated that its folk songs are the prototype of Pingju. I didn't know Tangshan was a new city. Luannan was established late. These two places were originally under the jurisdiction of Luanzhou. Now under the county system under the jurisdiction of the city, it is said that it was born in Luannan, Tangshan and Changli counties. In a word, Pingju is the product of old culture. If Pingju originated in the lower reaches of Luanhe River where the old people gathered, it is absolutely meaningful to replace administrative divisions with humanistic areas. Another example is the shadow play in Laoting. There are three kinds of statements. Some people call it Tang, while others call it Luanzhou Film Capital. Laoting county has always insisted on Laoting shadow play for fear of being plundered elsewhere. If the common name of Laoting Shadow Play is righted, it will simply be called Old Shadow Play, and the endless regional disputes will be solved calmly. Therefore, the application of the old Yi culture in real life is also a culture of unifying understanding and resolving contradictions.

Over the years, Lao Dai culture has played an intangible role in cultivating people's sentiments, exercising their character, expressing their feelings and exchanging ideas. Today, we are still sparing no effort to build a stage for the economic construction in this region, win glory for spiritual civilization and continue to play an irreplaceable and unique role in promoting social progress. The culture of the elderly will be a treasure of the long-lasting musicians; And under the guidance of advanced culture, it will surely become a bright spot in the culture of building a well-off society in an all-round way and reproduce its glory.

As far as its connotation is concerned, time-honored brand culture has been widely known in Sheng Xing for many years, but the concept of time-honored brand culture has never been mentioned by predecessors. I'm not afraid, but I'm ignorant and shallow. In order to attract jade, I'm willing to teach the Fang family. The historical facts and arguments cited in the article are questionable.
