Trace the source of the Lieba wind, search for the roots of the Haohaoba people, transform the dance to search for the gods, and cherish the past and chant the present.

"Jinna Yin'ersuo, Yinna Yin'ersuo, singing the sun stops, singing the moon does not want to fall..." In 2011, Xia Bing's large-scale music and dance poetry and painting drama "Jinna Yin'ersuo", which is the chief director, takes the regional typical and original Tujia folk song and dance form as the material, takes the folk music dragon boat tune as the main line, adopts the form of song and dance, reproduces the magical ancient legends on the banks of the Yishui River, the Qingjiang River, the fiery labor scenes, the sweet love story, and the magnificent and moving pictures of the Pukai Tujia Cottage, which will change the history of Lichuan. Ethnic customs and natural scenery are condensed into artistic presentation, and they help Lichuan '616' counterpart support, "urban-rural interconnection and pairing and co-construction", and participate in the Hubei Provincial Ethnic Minority Song and Dance Performance and won the Repertoire Award (of which "The Sun is Too Big" and "Uh-Huh" won the Special Award).
"Jin Na Yin Er Suo", from "gold" and "silver", derives images such as yang and yin, heaven and earth, sun and moon, mountains and water, day and night, man and woman... Distilled a romantic expression, the mountain is the head, the sun and the moon are two eyes, the water is the blood, the ancient rhyme is frightening, and the man dance falls into the clear light. The opening "Preface" begins with the song and dance of "Jin Na Yin Er Suo", flowing, unrestrained, full of life hints and presenting the beauty of power. The middle consists of three chapters, following the footsteps of the ancient ancestors, taking the mountains as the scriptures, taking the water as the latitude, traveling through the world, traveling upwards, capturing the infinite mysteries of heaven, earth and people, full of optimism, boldness, humor, free temperament and tenacity, tenacity, bravery and enterprising spirit. One dance and three sighs, lingering. The first chapter, "The Ballad of the Ancients", shows the process of the Tujia tribal leader's hard struggle to lead the unification of the clan, which is a song and dance of weeping blood; the second chapter, "The Ballad of the Mountain", of which the play "The Sun is Big", the strong man in the mountains and wilderness, with heaven and earth as the bed, the sun and the moon as the lamp, is a song and dance that breathes fire; the third chapter, "The Ballad of Qingjiang", in the repertoire, the woman is tender like water, the love is sweet and warm, and it is a song and dance made of honey.

The leaders of Lichuan Cultural Tourism also hope to have the opportunity to recreate the elegant and beautiful "Jinna Yin'ersuo", consolidate and promote the cultural resources of Lichuan, and put the beautiful stories on the stage again to feed the audience, Xia Bing browsed the series of books, precipitated the mood, reviewed the polishing and creative process, and had a new feeling: regional myths and legends were erected there without making a sound, but each of their names was like opening an eye. Hundreds of eyes, hundreds of names silently and patiently facing the searching gaze, waiting until someone went to open them. So, as if the fingers touched the keys of the piano, found the tone of the inner melody, and searched up and down with the dance I was most familiar with, the dancers stationed in different kinds of flesh, as if building hundreds of billions of communities in the wilderness. The sun unselfishly weaves each house and strikes three or two butterflies with green embroidery thread; the winter moon smiles and makes the sleeping people dream of the morning frost. The dance moves are meant to bring the history of silence to life again.
Xia Bing's romance is to look down on the heavens and the earth, look at the landscape map, dance step by step to sing the myths and legends of the heavens, and spread out the national music painting "Jin Na Yin Er Suo".
I. Ancient songs: dance a song, go back to ancient times, read people, beautiful as gods
Xia Bing opened the ancient classics such as "Shiben" and "Book of later Han", deconstructed with the dance of the soul, and created the three characters of the ancestors of the Tujia family who originated from the Ba people, the goddess of salt water and the General of the Cuban State, Manzi, and danced the love of the two tribal leaders of the salt god Bugu and the salt god Bugu about 5,000 years ago, as well as the pride of General Ba Manzi who regarded death as a homecoming. Due to the limited literature, there are a large number of mysteries and gaps in the chain of ancient Ba people, Ba guo and Ba wu culture. Although this brings a lot of confusion to look back at the original history, it can also install the wings of imagination for dance. The dance magic begins, the beautiful legend is like the stars in the sky, invisible during the day, when the world is dark, it will point the way forward, extending the inner sky to the far side. Gradually immersed in it, calm down, experience, drift calmly in the melody, time and space that cannot be reached in this life, confidants who cannot see the face, are all here.
Seeing him, Liu Jun, the earliest leader of the Xiangba tribe, won the contest in Wuluo ZhongLishan and was made a Prince by everyone. He was as loud as the sun and the moon, his eyes were shining like rocks, he was as powerful as a tiger, strong and strong, strong and boda, through the heavens and the earth, and Zhi yong led the tribe to take an earthen boat, trace the water, shoot the salt god, Junhu Yicheng, and establish a state in a primitive state in the Qingjiang River Valley, laying the foundation for the future Ba people to expand their territory in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, rise up for hegemony, and fight with neighboring countries for generations. After death, the soul transforms into a white tiger. The white tiger became a totem of the Tujia family, a branch of the Ba people and their descendants. The atmosphere is rendered by a passionate collective dance, the dancers walk barefoot, drum and charge, control the strings to break the left, the right hair destroys the moon branch, the flying fox with the hand, the horse's hooves are bent over, the cunning is over the monkey ape, and the courage is like a leopard mantis. The dancers' body movements are extremely transparent and smooth, and their skillful dance skills make people indulge in it.
See her, the goddess of salt water, who is said to be the tribal leader of the matrilineal clan in the Qingjiang River Basin, good at witchcraft, loves song and dance, and is engaged in fishing salt. She is like a spring moon willow, frank and beautiful, tender, determined to use love to emotionally transform the Jun, weave the wings of hundreds of insects at dusk, generate rainbows and colorful fogs, and the silent lip prints fall on the five thousand years, so that the long-distance flat boat lost its voyage, hoping to live with it in Yanyang, accept the 'green wisps' given by The Jun, and finally die tragically of her own pure feelings. Loyal to what you love, do your best, that is, beautiful, open the legacy of 'women chasing men' in the original marriage customs of the Ba people, and are respected by future generations as Deji Niangniang, leading the incense of the world for thousands of years. The dancers are miserable, the king is not good, who stays in Middle-earth? Beauty should be repaired, Pei Wu took the Xi Gui boat, the golden wind and jade dew met, and the good period was like a dream.
See him, Ba Manzi, in the "Chronicle of Lichuan Characters", the landscapes of Enshi and Lichuan are mostly named after Ba Gong. In Qingbao Village, Longfeng Town, Enshi, there is an Iron Hat Mountain (CrownEding Mountain), which is said to have been incarnated by the helmet of General Ba Manzi. Rock clear, wall standing thousands of people, Geng Jie is not ashamed, looking down on the ancient and modern, the living beings feel the charming charm of his grace, just like walking in the land of reckless wild grass, suddenly bumping into a large tree, like the birds returning home naturally give birth to a desirable sense of trust, the joy of the moment is touched. Dancers on the drum, waving swords in their hands, wise hearts and iron guts, heavier than Mount Tai, E'e Ruo Qianzhang Pine Collapse, Rumors such as Strong Pine Wind, for the Community, for the Thousand Golds and One Promises, proud of their own loyalty, great and magnificent.
"Liu Jun", "Salt Water Goddess", "Ba Manzi" uses ancient songs to tell the persistent courage of Liu Jun, interpreting the salt water goddess's obsession and desire for true love, Liu Jun and the salt water goddess encounter love in the most beautiful years, not accepted and real emotions and struggles, the sharp conflict between the two "love" and "karma", the dance vividly restores the most primitive side of people's emotional desires, a male goddess and goddess repeatedly wandering between crossing the boundary and sticking, the huge tension is unobstructed. Ba Manzi's benevolence, loyalty and courage, the artifact of governing the country, sacrificing his body to go to the country in difficulty, and seeing death as a sudden return. The dance performance of a person's life should not be just a conquest, but an opportunity to refine the spiritual personality and finally find the "Vajra Heart" in life.
Xia Bingben is a ghost visitor, and she firmly believes that human beings consciously and powerfully improve their quality of life and make their lives poetic and sacred. "It's almost impossible to make the audience realize through a performance. But in the moment, you can make the audience realize that there doesn't seem to be much thought just now, and we hold the sword together, as if we have courage together. ”
Second, the song of the mountain: dance a song, the mountain, melon seeds, blessing long
The mountain is the root and soul of the Tujia family. The old artists from Baiyang, the hometown of the Dragon Boat Tune, put the original ecology "Lantern Song and Seed Melon Tune" on the stage, singing the industrious wisdom of the children of the Tujia family and playing the love and happiness of the children of the Tujia family. Subsequent songs and dances such as "Tujia People Are Happy" and "The Sun Is Big" present different scenes of Tujia life. The unique Lichuan song "The Train Roars into the Mountains" sings the joy of the Tujia Cottage Round Train Dream into the Mountains.
Stills from "The Sun Is Big"
The origin of the "Dragon Boat Tune" "Seed Melon Tune" "The first month is the New Year, and the melon seeds enter the garden. In February, the spring breeze begins, and the melon seeds take root. March is qingming, melon seedlings become forests. April is the summer, and the melons are on the shelves. May is duanyang, melon put a new taste. In June, it was three volts hot, and the melon was eating. In July, the autumn breeze is cool, and the skin of the melon is yellow. In August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the melons should be picked. September is Chongyang, and the melon seeds have gone down. In October, the melon is finished, and the melon seeds must be left. "The main song is mainly based on farming, laying out the techniques, one board and one glance, simple and unpretentious. The first birth of the people. Melons have many seeds, and the vines are long, symbolizing the multiplicity of children and grandchildren, endless, and eternal prosperity. The melody of the chorus is comfortable and melodious, "Now that silver child shuttle, Ming that silver child shuttle, Yang Que call ah hug En which brother, that hug En which brother", with "Yang Que call ah hug En which brother" to start, with the meaning of male and female love exchanges, a sentimental white "sister baby to cross the river which is to push me", causing multiple male voice dialogue: "I will push you". And singing and dancing, vivid and affectionate, making people suddenly reverie.
The sun was so big that with a strong rope, the twelve-hour journey was completed step by step. Then pat the dust greeting the world. The key of history restarts, the wind that does not tie the reins cuts through the deep earth peaks, countless words Mars breaks through the ancients, the deep soil opens the flowers into day and night, the four seasons, the years, the holy fire, the end of the long day, the civilization flashes on the face hunting. The dancers skillfully used props like large umbrellas, straw hats, and lotus leaves to outline the freehand picture of a mountain man carrying the sun and moving towards the mountain, adding innovative dance steps such as "hooking feet", "throwing hands", "stomping feet", "flat shouldering hands" and "clapping hands", integrating into modern dances and strengthening the sense of the times.
The Tujia people are much happier, look, who is waving to summon. Is to push open the courtyard door is lettuce Metasequoia, is the cicada noise forest over the quiet green water and green mountains, is the fan gently shaken, the breeze is slowly coming. It is the search for light, the arrival of love. The sun was full and the bowl was dry. It is to build houses with enthusiasm, and it is to sow joy with affection. It is the silent promise of the next lush spring grass, paying tribute to the mountains and rivers falling asleep and healing greetings. Restart the Flower Mountain Moon, as I wish. The dancers are their own small planets, large or small, light or dark. Constitute a starry sky - the sky of the times, concrete and subtle, straightforward and frank.
The creek is a small train that runs to the outside of the mountain, the agricultural civilization has completed from spring planting to autumn harvest, living together with ethnic groups, sticking to the hot soil, everyone has an acre of land in their hearts, planting the sun and planting spring wind, and playing the record of poverty alleviation in the green waves. In the intersection of colorful rumored history and the reality of the times, the dancers believe in the reins of the horse, gallop freely, and work hard. The dance movements are like driving a fiery vehicle, carrying people out of the narrow situation and into the future. No one is an island, we are closely linked at the roots.
Third, the song of Qingjiang: dance a song, Qingjiang, step on the moon, wish the king well
"The Ballad of Qingjiang" adopts romantic and aesthetic artistic expression techniques, with unique Lichuan folk songs such as "The Moon Bends Like a Lamp", "Door to Door to Door street", "Fan Song", "Hmmm Na Hmm" as the main material, showing the fiery, pure and loyal love of the children of the Tujia family, which is worth more than a thousand words.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, Li Daoyuan wrote a commentary on the Water Classic: "Yi Shui, that is, the mountain QingJiangye, the water color is clear and illuminated, and the sand and stone are divided." The Shu people saw its clarity, because the name Qingjiang also. "The Qingjiang River has a long history, the clear spring comes out of the mountain, and the spring water dings." Empty mountain birds, trees quiet forest. The spring water dripped over the overhanging rock, and the raindrops tickled the jade plate. Hao Hao is like relying on the false wind, and does not know what it has stopped, fluttering like a relic of independence, feathering and ascending to immortality. Wuling Mountain Buddha Haowei, bones are connected to the mountains, blood into the river, guarding the Tujia family, eyebrows are kind. Mountains make water snail buns, water system mountain clothes, ape cry immortal village, boat xiang glass light, song blowing trees on both sides of the river, dance turn nine intestines. Through the deep mountains and valleys, rapids and dangerous shoals, Wolong Swallow River; the rock cliffs are opposite, the sun is shining, the weather is thousands of people, thousands of horses, flying in the middle, for a while do not know where the wind is born, where the water comes from. The dawn shines, the sky is clear, just like a green pigment brocade, reflecting the river. The fish spit out a laughing vortex, everything is making the tide, and the waves are bold. Dancers immerse themselves in steps, legs propped open skirts, such as stable mountain roots, skirts circled around the waist, beautiful headdresses, such as undulating mountains, or like lone peaks independent. Dancers lower their waists, some tilted, some paved, like a few strings, just like the ancient times, the huge waves sweep away the dust; more rushing to the future, the sound of the waves echoing in the sky.
Stills from "The Moon Bends Like a Lamp"
The moon bends like a lamp, Lang walks the night sister worried, one is worried about the long distance, the other is worried about a person. The crooked moon is like a lamp, and Lang is worried about the night walking sister, afraid of the tiger in the mountains, and afraid of the goblins under the river. The night is hazy, the shadows of the trees are fragile, the thoughts are sprinkled like the moonlight on the mountains, and the love is as long as the melody of the music. The dancer's eyes are burning and shining, your eyes are good-looking, there are rain and sun, sun and moon, mountains, rivers, clouds, flowers and birds, my eyes are better looking, because I have your microscopy in my eyes.
"I put my hands on the shoulders of the sister (which sister yo feeds), I have that sentence (ma oh hi yo, sister yo feed) I can't say (mmm na en)" Tujia Hanzi love wit, love persistence, love wildness, love strong, the woman from "your pants are rotten to go to your relatives to sprinkle", to "you sue me, then you rest for a night and then leave." Pure love blossoms in "Hmmm Ne Grace".
The dancers curtain closed, looped back and forth to the gold and silver shuttle, the Tujia Hanzi woman, slowly walked to the front of the stage, with a posture or sitting, or leaning, or lying down, or standing, such as mountains, such as peaks, such as water, such as pines, thousands of miles of landscapes, all into the dance. The body of the Oriental is a complete whole, and when dancing, one movement goes out and one movement comes back. The top of the head, elbows, thoracic spine, knees, toes, every inch of the body can be made in circles, stretching endless mountains and mountains, and the water is shining. At this moment, beauty seems to have no distance between time and space, silently continuing the romantic legend of dancing.

Xia Bing said: A flash of light, a thousand years of Huabiao. The weight of these cultural elements that have been passed down to this day is self-evident. As long as you have the heart and understand them, you will certainly respect the Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years, is broad and profound, and has lasted for a long time. And dance is a process that makes me who we are. The dancer's posture is outward and upright, and the spirit is going up. With the tension of the times, generation after generation of questions, generations of answers, generations of listening, generations of inheritance, generations of promotion, no matter which generation, Chinese culture is always there.
