Brief introduction to the Pavilion (core, iron branch, floating color) (high view of Hetian)

Applicant: Luhe County, 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.

Gaojing is another name of "piaose". Hetian Gaojing is a kind of traditional folk custom in Hetian Town, Luhe County, Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. After the Hakka ancestors moved south to the mountainous area of eastern Guangdong, this folk art form with obvious local characteristics was formed in the relatively closed traffic environment. The time, route and basic ceremony of the performance are fixed.

Hetian high view is composed of a view bed, a view stem and a view object. The view bed is a 1.2-meter-long, 1-meter-wide and 0.8-meter-high thick wooden frame, which is used to fix the view stem and the view object. The view stem is a six to eight meter long forged steel bar. The view object is composed of a view child, a view Dan and props. The view child is a boy or girl under the age of thirteen or fourteen, and the view Dan is a child of five or six years old. The props include clothes and accessories And so on.

When Gao Jing travels, in addition to Jing Tong and Jing Dan, four to eight people are usually assigned to carry the scenery, six to eight people are responsible for guiding the scenery, three or four people are responsible for protecting the scenery, and one or two people are responsible for supervising the scenery. The whole high view was carried by four to six people and moved forward under the close supervision of the people. Gao Jing followed many lion troupes, bands and flag fights to form a huge entertainment team, singing and dancing, and was extremely happy.

Hetian high view has the outstanding characteristics of "high, dangerous and skillful". The "high" refers to the high position of Jingdan, which is generally seven to eight meters in the air. The "dangerous" refers to the fact that the whole high view is independently supported by a small irregular steel bar six to eight meters long. Jingdan stands directly above the Jinggan, which makes the audience worried. The "skillful" refers to the skillfulness of each organic unit of Gaojing Wonderful combination, unique and exquisite, never expose the vein of the scenery stem, leaving suspense for the audience to guess.
