Changsha Traditional Intangible Music

The exhibition hall is a public welfare exhibition hall to display the intangible cultural heritage resources and projects in Changsha, Hunan Province. It is divided into the main building and the auxiliary building. The main exhibition area is on the first floor of the main building, and the temporary exhibition area and the cultural and creative products exhibition area are on the second floor. The Theater is located in the annex building, and it often presents traditional drama, music, folk art and other programs in Changsha.

Around the theme of "home", the exhibition hall is divided into six parts: family hall, family art, family sound, family flavor, family festival and family, and more than a thousand pieces of various non-legacy exhibits are collected and displayed.

As soon as I entered the exhibition hall, sculptures filled with human feelings came into view, showing the lively scene of Changsha family living under one roof for four generations during the Republic of China:

There is a landscape painting on the middle wall of the lobby, and there are couplets on both sides of it that are "faithful and eternal, and poems and books last forever"; On the right is the word "loyalty and filial piety", and on the left is the word "courtesy, righteousness and shame"; The great-grandfather and great-grandmother of the oldest are sitting at both ends of the coffee table in the middle of the lobby, with a pot of charcoal fire in front of them; Grandpa was carrying a red lantern, and a child belonging to the fourth generation came to the lantern curiously. One hand has held the handle of the lantern, and grandpa stroked the child's head with one hand, which seemed very kind. Another child squatted on the ground and set off firecrackers, full of childlike interest; Dad seems to be pounding his great-grandfather's back, aunt seems to be giving a red envelope to his great-grandmother, and mother comes over with a plate full of delicious things like peanuts and melon seeds. The whole scene looks very warm and harmonious, filled with the lively, festive and joyful atmosphere of family reunion during the Spring Festival. This is the first part of the exhibition hall, the "main venue".

The second part of the exhibition hall is "Home Art", which shows the colorful and exquisite traditional skills such as Liuyang fireworks and chrysanthemum stone carving. On the distribution map of intangible cultural heritage projects in Changsha, more than 40 intangible cultural heritage projects in various counties and districts of Changsha are marked with red dots, and each project shines into the lives of millions of citizens in Qian Qian like a red light.

Exquisite woodcarving works show the production process of Liuyang Fireworks, a national intangible project. The production process of Liuyang Fireworks is introduced with exhibition boards: pipe drawing, pipe winding, pipe waist washing, plate loading, drilling, intubation, neck rolling and whipping. Over the years, Changsha has set off fireworks in Orange Island every holiday night. On festive days, shops open and every household in Changsha sets off firecrackers from Liuyang Fireworks Factory. Liuyang fireworks are not only sold to many regions in China, but also exported to Southeast Asia, Europe and other places, bringing unforgettable memories to many people.

The national non-legacy chrysanthemum stone carving shows its production process: material selection, flowering, rough grinding, modeling design, carving, fine finishing, fine grinding, base design, polishing, wax sealing and packaging; According to Liuyang County Records, Liuyang chrysanthemum stone carving began five years after Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. Tan Sitong once wrote the poem "Chrysanthemum Stone Carving and Autumn Shadow Ink": "Homesickness, the west wind shakes my valley. Flowers wake up slightly and autumn is heartbroken. Fruit rope fruit rope, ink sound like yesterday. " There is also the chrysanthemum stone sculpture "Four Sheep Square Zun", which skillfully combines the national treasure "Four Sheep Square Zun" with the "Four Gentlemen" of Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju.

Xiang embroidery is one of the "Four Famous Embroideries" in China, and it is also a national intangible cultural heritage project. This paper introduces the main stitch methods of Xiang embroidery: Qi Zhen, loose sleeve, mixed stitch, bristle stitch, continuous stitch, needle roller, disorderly stitch, injection, Julian stitch and wandering stitch. The bleaching and dyeing process of Xiang embroidery thread: prepare boiling water, boil the thread, dry the thread, twist it into a handle or dry it, seal it and store it, and hang the thread from shallow to deep on the bobbin; Mixing pigments, dyeing, cleaning color lines, dehydrating and drying oil on color lines, polishing and color lines; It also shows two completely different embroidery works of Xiang embroidery. Animals or fruits embroidered on embroidery have the same outline on both sides, but there are two kinds of animals or fruits, which is amazing.

The ceramic firing technology of Tongguan kiln in Changsha is a national intangible project, which began in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished in the middle Tang Dynasty. Calligraphy, painting, poetry and proverbs are applied to ceramics, and products are transported to Europe and other places through the Maritime Silk Road. This paper shows the technological process of firing ceramics in Tongguan kiln: batching, mud making, molding, decoration, glazing, drying, firing, discharging, inspection, packaging and leaving the factory.

This part also shows textile processing in Xiabu, Liuyang, the traditional Wushu "Eight Diagrams Boxing" and "Meridian Stick" in Changsha, bamboo weaving works, and knives and scissors in Laodao River. The display of these extraordinary skills makes people sincerely respect the ancient Changsha people.

The third part of the exhibition hall, "Jiale", shows the artistic charm of xiang opera, Changsha Tanci, Changsha ancient painting and drama, and introduces intangible items such as Changsha folk songs, Changsha Allegro, Shuangjiang gongs and drums pavilion, Changsha guqin art, Mashan gongs and drums, Changsha nursery rhymes, Miyin Temple legends and Yuelu Mountain folk stories with pictures and materials.

Xiang opera is a national intangible cultural heritage, and Changsha xiang opera is an important drama in Hunan. In the Ming Dynasty, it was introduced by Jiangxi people and combined with folk music in Changsha and other places. It consists of four kinds of tunes: treble, bass, Kunqu opera and Tan Qiang. Singing in Changsha Mandarin, the traditional repertoire includes Yue Bai, Pipa, White Rabbit, Heroes of Ancient Painting and Defending the Country.

Changsha Tanci is one of the four major vocals of Huxiang Quyi, which was recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is an existing ancient school in Hunan, and it is a rap art based on Changsha dialect. There are some traditional tunes in Changsha Tanci, such as Looking Back Suddenly, Romance, Nine Degrees of Literature and Yuan Tan Luwen.

Changsha ancient painting opera is a provincial intangible cultural heritage, which was born out of folk song and dance and rap art, formed in Qing Dynasty and popular in eastern Hunan and Dongting Lake area.

At the scene, the author also saw xiang opera's performance and shadow play played by the museum through phantom imaging.

The fourth part of the exhibition hall, "Taste of Home", shows the mouth-watering non-legacy food making skills such as six traditional Hunan dishes in Yuloudong and eight traditional snacks in Huogong Palace.

Hunan cuisine is one of the eight traditional cuisines in China. Changsha is the birthplace of Hunan cuisine, and Huogong Palace and Yuloudong are centuries-old brands. My feeling is that all Hunan dishes are not spicy, and Hunan people are not spicy.

In this part, hundreds of display cabinets are used to display Hunan cuisine samples, and the processing techniques of famous brands such as handmade egg noodles and Wuyouma in Changsha, as well as the traditional vinegar-making techniques of Ningxiang Four Cuisine, Xu Changxing Roast Duck, Liuyang Steamed Vegetable, Liuyang Douchi, Labadou and Weishan Tea, as well as provincial intangible Changsha jade and vinegar, are also displayed and briefly introduced, and six traditional Hunan dishes and eight traditional snacks of fireworks in Yuloudong are displayed.

The fifth part of the exhibition hall is "Family Festival", which shows a series of Changsha festival cultures with various forms and rich connotations, such as offering sacrifices to Confucius and temple fairs.

Festival activities can best create a festive atmosphere and inherit traditional cultural elements. For thousands of years, Changsha has formed various festival cultures with rich connotations, such as offering sacrifices to Confucius, temple fairs, dragon dances and rolling lanterns. On-site display of Tao Xun, Tangu, Dai Bo, Teqing, Tezhong, Guqin, Hare and other ancient musical instruments.

Liuyang Confucian Temple ancient music offering sacrifices to Confucius is a national intangible cultural heritage with "eight tones", which is made of eight raw materials: Yi, Tu, Pi, Mu, Shi, Jin, Si and Zhu, among which Yi, Tu, Pi Gu and Song (Mu). I couldn't help watching the live video of the sacrificial ceremony of Confucius in Liuyang. Everyone's clothes, every movement and every scene in the ceremony are very ceremonial.

The Fire Palace Temple Fair is a national intangible heritage, and there is a phantom imaging performance at the scene, which makes people feel at home. Every Spring Festival, Changsha Fire Palace holds temple fairs and a series of colorful activities, which attract tourists. This part shows and introduces the national intangible Dragon Boat Festival, the provincial intangible Changsha Taogong Temple Fair, the Dongjing Dragon Dance, the municipal intangible Ningxiang Zhou Shuanglong Dance, the Beishan Bulong and Shuangjiang Lantern Car in Changsha County.

The sixth part of the exhibition hall, "Family", shows a group of non-genetic inheritors of virtue and art in Changsha. In the form of photos and text introduction, 2 1 inheritors of intangible cultural heritage such as artists and craftsmen handed down from generation to generation in Changsha are displayed.

In addition to physical display, the exhibition hall also uses multimedia interaction and other means to entertain and educate, allowing visitors to participate in interactive activities such as quiz and guessing games. With the help of the multimedia interactive platform, they can learn about the firing process of Changsha kiln bronze official porcelain, experience the magical Hunan embroidery techniques such as Qi Zhen and needle roller, knock on Mashan gongs and drums, feel the joy and excitement it brings, and witness the whole process of Changsha stinky tofu from food preparation to cooking.

I visited the Changsha Intangible Heritage Exhibition Hall, went to the second floor of the exhibition hall, and visited the Changsha Traditional Medicine Exhibition and the Changsha Intangible Heritage Creative Products Exhibition Area.

According to the staff of the exhibition hall, folk artists such as "folk paper-cutting", "Changsha palm leaf weaving" and "wood movable type printing" will show their unique skills on the spot from time to time, and visitors can also do it themselves and ask folk artists for relevant skills on the spot.

In the affiliated building of the intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall, there is Changsha Old Theatre. Visitors from all over the world can enjoy the traditional theatrical performances such as xiang opera, ancient paintings and Changsha Tanci brought by the actors of Changsha Repertory Theatre, while tasting authentic Changsha snacks such as stinky tofu and tea smashing, and feel the magical charm of Changsha traditional culture.
