Brief introduction to the Pavilion (core, iron branch and floating color) (floating color at the entrance of Yalang, Nanlang)

Applicant: Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province

Also known as "lift angle", "lift song", "lift high", "naoge", "naoge" and "Gaozhuang", lift Pavilion is a form of folk Parade Performance in traditional festival activities. It originated from the activities of meeting gods in the Central Plains, and then gradually spread to the southeast coast and Northwest China. It was popular for a time in the Qing Dynasty. In the process of spreading, it combined with the specific situation of different places and formed different characteristics.

In the activities of raising the pavilion, several children dressed as ancient opera characters, formed wonderful shapes according to the plot, fixed on the iron pillars and supports of the square attic, and carried by people. The traditional modeling of the pavilion is mostly taken from such plays as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Tian Xianpei, the legend of the White Snake, journey to the west, Zhaojun's leaving the fortress, blue bridge club, Yellow Crane Tower, fishing and killing the family. The height of the traditional modeling is about 3 to 5 meters. The attic has 3 to 5 floors. Generally, there are 1 person on each floor, 4 people on the bottom floor, 5 to 6 people on the middle floor, and 1 person on the top floor. During the pavilion tour, four lofts are generally used, and six or even eight lofts are often used. Each loft is carried forward by four or eight people.

It is popular among the people for a long time because of its beautiful shape and spectacular pictures. With the acceleration of the modernization process, the activities of raising the pavilion are gradually declining, and there is no successor in the production skills of raising the pavilion in rural areas, so the relevant rescue and protection work is imminent.

Piaose is a popular form of folk performance in Guangdong. It is similar to "Taige" and "Xinzi" in the north. Boys and girls are used to dress up as characters in historical stories. They are fixed on a color cabinet, and then carried to the streets by people for a parade performance. The performance is accompanied by music.

Nanlang Yakou floating color, which is popular in Yakou village, Nanlang Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, is also known as "chuhuijing" and "Xiaose". It originated from the sacrificial custom of playing Bodhisattva in Tang Dynasty, and then gradually developed into the present performance style. Every year, on the sixth birthday of the Dragon King on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, Yakou village holds a floating color performance.

Yakou floating colors mostly use folklore as the theme of expression, and take the most local characteristic "swing color" as an important part. The actors below are called "color feet", while the actors above are called "color core". During the tour, the "color feet" and "color core" do not need to be fixed on the "color stem". They can float up and down with the swing, and can be replaced at any time. Yakou is colorful, smart and elegant, with strong story and rhythmic action. In addition, exquisite Yue embroidery was used on the first card, Luo umbrella and colored flag, which became another important feature of Yakou floating color.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Yakou piaose performed in Hong Kong and Macao, which had a certain impact. In 1998, the new folk custom activity of Zhongshan charity ten thousand people's walk was founded, and the floating color of Yakou got a new development.
