A brief introduction to the qinglinkou Gaoyang Opera (Xinzi, Tiezhi, piaose)

Applicant: Jiangyou City, Sichuan 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.

Qinglinkou Gaoyang opera, also known as "piaose" and "Taige", is a kind of folk disguised opera performance style, which is popular in qingylinkou ancient town of Jiangyou in Northwest Sichuan. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the high lift opera appeared in the ancient town of qinglinkou. Every year on the first day of February of the lunar calendar, a traditional temple fair is held in qinglinkou, during which there is a performance of high lift opera.

The performance of high-rise drama does not need a stage and theater building. It relies on traditional binding methods to turn folklore stories into vivid artistic images and present them as fixed drama segments on the high stage, which are supported by human resources for the public to watch. The binding of high lift opera is very complicated, and it has to go through 11 processes before and after. The image of the characters basically adopts the composition of traditional folk New Year pictures, and the modeling is very exaggerated. The most prominent feature of Gao Gao opera is that it can skillfully set up organs to suspend the characters in the air and give the audience a strong visual impact.
