Brief introduction to the Pavilion (core, iron branch, floating color) (elbow Pavilion)

Applicant: Shouxian County, Anhui 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.

Lifting the pavilion is a comprehensive form of folk art activities. It is called "lifting the pavilion" because it is performed by people. It integrates modeling, color binding, acrobatics and drama, and is full of poetic and picturesque. Elbow Pavilion is a special form of raising Pavilion, which is popular in Shouxian and Linquan counties of Anhui Province. It gets its name because performers use elbow strength and skills to perform.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, gouge and Taige were introduced into Shouxian and Linquan of Anhui Province from Shanxi and Henan, and reached their peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. There are different numbers of small actors performing on the core of the elbow Pavilion and the lifting Pavilion. Their production is ingenious and hidden, and their makeup and costumes have a strong story. The performance is accompanied by gongs and drums, Sheng, Xiao, flute and pipe. But the base of cubital Pavilion is different from that of Taige. The cubital Pavilion is supported by one person, the "small Taige" is carried by two people, and the "big Taige" is carried by many people, reflecting the characteristics of high, difficult, dangerous and beautiful.

Elbow Pavilion shows many traditional folk stories, such as "the lady in the pool shakes the four continents", "the immortals go to Yangshi", "lie on the ice to seek the carp", "abandon the official to find the mother", "strangle the tiger to save the father". The skills and difficulties of lifting the pavilion are equally emphasized, and the reserved programs include Liu Quanjin melon, Monkey King stealing peach, tiannu Sanhua, etc. In the popular festivals, traditional sacrifices and large-scale group festive activities, elbow Pavilion is the most popular form of performance.

It reflects the living customs, aesthetic taste, values and aesthetics of the residents along the Huaihe River. It has the research value of folklore and sociology.
