When he returned home, he didn't see Wukong's shadow. Zhang Taiping asked Fan Ming, "I don't see Wukong again. Why don't you teach Wukong to play the gong?"

"Ah, I forgot about it after a year." Then he ran outside "I'll get it back."

Cai Yazhi asked, "What does the village head uncle want from you?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "This year the village has decided to play social fire, so I asked me to come over this morning to discuss what stage to do this year."

Cai Yazhi also had joy on her face: "Finally, the village is going to be lively again. There has been no movement for several years." Fu said with a little disappointment, "I don't know if I can go to see it when I look like this."

"It's okay, just let Xing Rushui drive you there when the time comes."

Zhang Taiping was about to go out again after lunch, Fan Min followed up and asked, "Where is Big Brother going?"

"Go to the village chief's house."

"Is it because of the social fire this year?"

"Well, it's this matter." Zhang Taiping nodded and replied.

"Let me go there with you, and take a look at how this Shehuo is made."

"You don't teach Wukong to play the gong?"

Fan Ming spread his hands and said, "I can't even find its shadow, so how can I teach it? Fortunately, it has almost learned, so I can teach it for two more days, and it won't delay the Shehuo around the fifteenth day." .”

The two came to the village chief's house together, but there was no one there. Zhang Taiping asked the old aunt strangely: "Auntie, why don't you see anyone?"

"All went to the venue room, where all the things for making Shehuo are over there."

The two rushed to the venue again, and it was very lively here, not only old men and playful children, but also many young wives and wives.

Fan Ming saw the two sisters, Da Nier and Er Nier, and happily held their hands and said, "You are here too. I have been visiting you for the past two days, why are you not at home?"

Ernier said: "My sister and I went to visit each other to celebrate the New Year, sister Mingming, don't you want to celebrate the New Year?"

"There are no relatives here, and there is no need to pay New Year's greetings." Fan Ming said, "Do you know what to do?"

Da Nier shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, the handsome uncle should know, didn't you ask?"

"I haven't had time to ask yet." Fan Ming looked at the person who was carrying things out and said, "I heard that there is a Yangko dance team during the Shehuo show, and women are all participating. Do you want to join, big girl? "

"Hee hee." Er Ni'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss Mingming, are you going to dance Yangko?"

Fan Ming didn't know why she was laughing, but she still nodded and expressed her thoughts: "Yes, it's so exciting, I'm going to have fun too, and I want to find someone to join me. Big Nier, why don't we together?"

Er Nier laughed when she heard her say that.

Twisting Yangko is a popular and representative folk dance popular in the vast areas of northern my country.It is a singing activity performed by farmers when transplanting rice seedlings, which originated from agricultural production labor.In Shaanxi, Yangko, which belongs to northern Shaanxi, is the most distinctive. Just like Baoji's Shehuo, it has become a signboard of folk art.

During Yangko twisting, teams ranging from a dozen to a hundred people wear uniform colored costumes, hold fans or silk ribbons in their hands, and dance while twisting, which is also very interesting.

Fan Ming asked Ernier strangely: "What are you laughing at, Ernier?"

Da Nier patted Er Nier and explained to Fan Ming: "Although Twisting Yangko is very lively, the participants are usually women in their 30s or even older, and when the time comes, they have to draw unattractive dresses. There are girls involved."

"Ah!" Fan Ming blushed, "That's right. I didn't know it was an event for middle-aged women, but I plan to attend it too. Doesn't that mean there won't be any events for us to participate in?"

Fan Ming shook her head and said, "If you can't do Yangko, you can participate in other activities."

"Oh?" Fan Ming's eyes lit up, "Any other activities, please tell me about it, Big Nier."

Big Nier gave her a detailed list of the activities that girls of their age can participate in: "You can go chasing bamboo horses, or you can go rolling dry boats."

There are two types of bamboo horses.An ancient children's toy, which uses a bamboo pole to "ride" between the crotch, hold the head of the pole with one hand, and drag the tail of the pole to the ground, running like riding a horse, which is called bamboo horse riding.Regardless of the south or the north, children like to ride bamboo horses.There is also a ballad singing: the sky is bright, the grass is green, a talented man, riding a bamboo horse, crossing Nantang, and looking at Jiaoniang.This seems out of proportion to the child's age.There is also a boy riding a bamboo horse singing: "Pianpian Xiaoerlang, riding a horse to school, my husband thinks I am small, and I have articles in my mouth."This is a very vivid picture of the air of being young and talented.

In my memory, boys in their seventeens, eights, and teens used bamboo poles as guns more often. You pretended to be Zhao Zilong, and I played Zhang Yide, fighting wildly on an empty field.

Another kind of bamboo horse is an element in Shehuo, which is a kind of folk art.The bamboo horse is made of bamboo. The middle of the body of the bamboo horse is hollow, and a woman with a slender waist can just put it on the body, and then use two belts to straddle the shoulders. The hand is decorated with a small whip, while stepping on a special footwork. While waving the whip in his hand, it can be regarded as a unique dance.Therefore, it is generally slender young women who drive bamboo horses.

The dry boat is similar to the bamboo horse. It is one of the folk performing arts of the Han nationality. It is the most popular in Shanxi, but it is also widely spread in Shaanxi. This is a folk dance that simulates sailing in the water.

"Dry boat" is a wooden frame made according to the shape of the boat.Around this boat-shaped wooden frame, a cotton skirt painted with water patterns or a sea-blue cotton skirt is hung on the apron.The top of the boat is decorated with red silk, paper flowers, and some places are also equipped with colored lights, mirrors and other decorations, making this or a dozen boats gorgeously decorated.

The dry boat is naturally a boat on land, but it is different from running a bamboo horse in that at least two people are required to shake the dry boat. Most of the people on the boat are girls or young wives, and they are in the middle of the dry boat.There is also a need for a young man to hold a paddle in front as a rower. As he continues to paddle in the air in front, the girl or daughter-in-law in the boat will swing the boat and follow behind.

"Then let's go dry boat or run a bamboo horse!" Fan Ming said.

"Okay." Da Nier said, "However, if the distance is long, the dry boat may be a little tiring. I'm afraid it won't last. Let's run on a bamboo horse."

"Yeah." Fan Ming nodded, "Then let's run away."

Ernier clapped her hands beside her and said, "I run bamboo horses too, I run bamboo horses too."

The old village head said with a loudspeaker: "Our village is a bit small, and we can't play many tricks, so this year we only prepare a few bamboo horses and a few dry boats, and the other is a few cores and two lions. No one is ready."

A woman asked: "Village chief, are we not going to prepare a Yangko team?"

The old village head explained: "The Yangko team needs a lot of people, and there are too few people in our village who can turn around. There is no way to prepare a Yangko team. If anyone has this thought, they can go to Fengyukou Village to join their Yangko directly. Team, anyway, when the time comes, we will be with their Shehuo."

After moving the things out of the field room, they were all covered with dust, and some of them had even been bitten by mice.

Those things that were bitten by the mice, of course, someone immediately took out silk and colored paper and other things to redecorate and paint on them, and this person was old man Qian. In the mountain village, old man Qian can already be said to be an all-rounder.

For those things that were not damaged but covered with dust, the old village chief shouted: "Everyone who is willing to participate, hurry up and get the things, go back and scrub to see if there is any damage, and then come to repair it. If there is no damage, tomorrow Come back in the morning to register."

The three of Fan Ming hurried over and brought out a bamboo horse.

Fan Ming asked Da Nier, "Will you run a bamboo horse?"

Ernier said: "My older sister will naturally run away. My older sister went to run the bamboo horse when she was playing social fire in the other village the year before last. Everyone said that my older sister ran the best."

Fan Ming said: "Then don't worry, let's go to your house, first clean the dust off these things, and then teach me how to run."

Da Nier nodded: "Okay." The three girls took the bamboo horse and left first.
