Introduction to Jinmen FA Gu (Yongyin FA Gu of Yangjiazhuang)

Applicant: Hexi District, Tianjin

Fagu is an important project of Tianjin Folk Flower Festival. It is said that the earliest Fagu group is dajue'an Jinyin Fagu Association. The FA guhui musical instruments are composed of drum, cymbal, cymbal, chrome and dangzi. The drum is the main instrument in the center of the band. There are seven or eight cymbals on the left and seven or eight cymbals on the right. Chrome and dangzi are both behind the drum. When performing, all kinds of hand-held musical instruments should be "played" and performed in turn. The beginning of the performance is called "Kai". The first is to beat several drums, followed by four cymbals, and then all kinds of musical instruments are played according to the score. If you are in a guild, you only use chrome and dangzi to play "changyuandian" to keep pace. There are about ten sets of FA Gu Qupai, including laoxihe and yaotonggu. There are many folk legu associations, among which the more famous ones are guajiasi Qingyin legu, Yangjiazhuang Yongyin legu, liuyuanxiang legu, longtingjing legu, Jieyuan Huayin legu and houjiahou Yongyin legu.

Yangjiazhuang Yongyin FA drum originated in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. It is mainly spread in guajiasi street and its surrounding areas in Hexi District of Tianjin. The FA drum was originally a Buddhist instrument with a large body covered with porpoise skin. It is said that the founder of Yongyin FA drum in Yangjiazhuang was a monk in Tianjin dajue'an during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. He eliminated the religious elements of Buddhist music, created some drum brands, passed them on to nearby villages, established FA drum club, and performed on New Year's day.

When Yangjiazhuang yongyinfa drum meeting was held, it mainly showed the grand occasion of Sakyamuni's traveling. Generally, the number of people who attended the meeting was about 40, which could be divided into literary field and martial field. The Wenchang is the guard of honor, which is arranged in order during the guild meeting. It is full of momentum and unique features. Members shoulder more than ten choices, such as tea cooks, dragon shoots, snack boxes, and clothing boxes, which vibrate up and down with the rhythm of the drums. Wuchang is commonly known as "jiashichang". It is mainly a band. All kinds of percussion instruments are played according to certain words and music scores. Drums, cymbals, cymbals and cymbals fly up and down in the accompaniment, bowing from left to right, making movements such as "wrapping the head and brain" and "looking for the moon from the bottom of the sea". The rhythm is gradual, ups and downs, emotional and warm. The performance of Yongyin FA drum not only shows the beauty of masculinity, but also shows the delicate state, sound and emotion, harmony and nature. Most of the stationery and decoration are inlaid with glass, and there are colorful or embossed patterns on them, which are exquisitely carved. There are six kinds of percussion instruments, including "Fu Gui Tu", "Yin Yang Yu", "couplet", "Si Shi Yi Yi", "Bagua Tu" and "Hydrangea". All kinds of props, instruments and decorations are in pairs, in pairs and in complete sets.

Yangjiazhuang Yongyin FA drum has exquisite props and distinctive features. It enjoys a high reputation in Jinmen and is a wonderful folk art with strong local flavor in Tianjin. It has always been handed down by way of oral and psychological instruction. At present, the club of Yongyin FA drum association has been demolished. In the reality of props damaged and members aging, this folk art with distinctive regional characteristics has encountered difficulties. It is urgent for the relevant parties to care and support, protect its smooth inheritance and sustainable development.
