Brief introduction of Taishan pumice Pavilion (core, iron branch, floating color)

Applicant: Taishan 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.

Taishan pumice stone floating color is a kind of folk plastic art with traditional characteristics. It began in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty and spread in the area of Fushi village, Taishan City, Guangdong Province. It has a history of more than 300 years. Each set of piaose is carried out by villagers in the "color cabinet" with two children aged eight to ten who are commonly known as "color boy" disguised as characters in historical stories and myths. The color boy standing on the color cabinet is called "upper color", also called "floating"; the color boy sitting on the color cabinet is called "lower color", also called "screen". "Piao" and "Ping" reflect each other, relying on a "color stem", that is, finely forged steel branches, to form a perfect Piao se whole. The charm of piaoche lies in "piaoche". Sezai stands on a peach branch with his left foot, swings with his right foot, and flies in the air. If there is no one to rely on, it is amazing.

The modeling contents of Taishan pumice are "Zhao Zilong intercepting the river", "Chang'e flying to the moon", "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", "Lu Bu Diao Chan", "Pinggui bieyao", "Mu Guiying in command", "Yang Jinhua fighting for the seal of commander", "Mulan joining the army", "splitting the mountain to save mother", "white snake and green snake", etc. Every year on the birthday of the northern emperor on March 3 of the lunar calendar, the villagers of Fushi village in Taishan form a procession. Some people carry the statue of the northern emperor in front of them, and follow them with the number one, color code, Luo umbrella, piaose, dragon dance, lion dance, stilts, eight immortals, eight sound gongs and drums, etc. they travel all over the village.

In 1996, Fushi village was named "the hometown of ethnic folk art in Guangdong Province -- the hometown of piaose" by Guangdong Provincial Department of culture, and in 1999, it was named "the hometown of Chinese folk art -- the hometown of piaose" by the Ministry of culture.
