Introduction to northeast Errenzhuan

Applicant: Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Errenzhuan is a folk art form of rap performance in Northeast dialect, which is composed of northeast Yangko and lianhualuo. It was formed in the middle of Qing Dynasty and widely spread in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and the east of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The Errenzhuan performance is mainly composed of two or more people's singing and reciting performances, as well as the "single show" and "pull show" in which actors play roles. During the performance, the two actors perform as Dan and Chou, singing and dancing, and rap. "Group singing" is performed by a number of actors with different accompaniment instruments. Erhenzhuan is accompanied by Banhu, suona, Zhuban and other musical instruments. The singing music is very rich. It is known as "nine tunes, eighteen tunes, 72 Keke". The commonly used tunes include Huhu tune, trumpet brand, wenkeke, etc. His libretto is mainly composed of seven character and ten character, with long and short sentence patterns. The performance stresses the comprehensive application of the four skills of singing, speaking, doing and dancing. Among them, the singing skills stress "words, sentences, tastes, banquets, tunes and strength", which are high pitched, hot and kind; the speaking skills are divided into "shuokou", "Chengkou" (also known as "taokou") and "zero Kou", which are ugly and funny, and most of them use rhymes, but also have speaking and counting bans, and the language is humorous; the acting skills (also known as "Guigong") It emphasizes the combination of hand, eye, body, method and step. The dance is mainly based on Northeast yangko dance, which also absorbs the elements of other folk dances and martial arts. At the same time, it is interspersed with acrobatic skills such as playing fan, handkerchief, jade hand and bamboo board, creating a lively and hot stage effect.

Errenzhuan in Suiling, Heilongjiang Province is a branch of northeast Errenzhuan, which has a history of more than 130 years. It combines Xihe Dagu, Henan Zhuizi, Dongbei Dagu, Dakou Luozi and Pingtan to better express the characters' happiness, anger and sadness. His singing is not limited by the speed of the board rules, but can be adjusted according to the content and plot, using black, red, top, bump, skim and other board skills, grabbing board and grabbing words to meet the needs of performance. Suiling Errenzhuan changed the traditional form of performing only with handkerchief and fan. The actor's upper dress was double fan, and the lower dress was a rival Yuzi. Its performance skills of carrying big board, hand Yuzi and double fan are unique and have been passed down to now. Suiling Errenzhuan is an important branch and typical representative of the northern group of Errenzhuan in Heilongjiang Province. It has an irreplaceable important reference value in the study of northeast social history, folk customs, culture and art.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Errenzhuan has been flowing into Tongliao area for a hundred years. In Tongliao area, Errenzhuan absorbed Mongolian dance steps in performance, while in music, it blended Mongolian folk tunes into singing, forming its own unique characteristics. On the one hand, it inherits the traditional repertoire of the Northeast Errenzhuan, such as "Blue Bridge Club", "Baogong compensate", "Yang Bajie Youchun", "Li Cuilian pan Dao", "Liang SAIJIN rolling noodles", "Yanqing selling line", "baiyuliou painting" and so on. On the other hand, it creates new works with grassland characteristics, such as "wild goose flying plateau", "Archer", and so on, showing the moving grassland ethnic customs. At present, there is no successor of Errenzhuan in Tongliao area, which is in danger of extinction and in urgent need of protection.
