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

Applicant: Zhangqiu City, Shandong 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.

Zhangqiu Xinzi is a special form of folk performance. It originated in the Ming Dynasty and was created under the inspiration of the trembling sedan chair. At first, in order to expel evil spirits and pray for good luck, men and women dressed up as mythical gods and moved on the tied platform or square table, and then gradually evolved into a form of performance. Zhangqiu Xinzi is popular in sandefan village and Xinzhai township of Wenzu Town, Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province. It plays an extremely important role in the local spring festival folk activities and large-scale mass gatherings.

Through the creation and innovation of several generations of folk artists, Zhangqiu Xinzi has become increasingly rich and perfect in character modeling, production technology, performance content and performance skills, which is deeply loved by the audience. Zhang Qiu's performance content is mostly based on traditional operas or fairy tales. According to the number of characters and different modeling and performance methods, it can be divided into table core, rotating core, single pole core, carrying core, car core, etc.

Zhangqiu Xinzi enriches the local people's spiritual life and provides an effective form of expression and self-regulation for the general public.
