Seeing that the fans were very interested, Captain Li Hong obviously loved listening to such a live broadcast.
His next explanation was even harder.
"The juggler here put the altar in his hand, presumably the starting action of the altar at that time.
The "urn" that appeared in the Sui Dynasty, the so-called "kicking family" in the Song Dynasty, the basis of which is the ancient altar tricking technique, but from the altar to the urn, bell, 罽 and other living tools, and kicking with the foot has also become one of the basic movements of this trickling technique.
It is speculated that the so-called "foot kick" should not be like an ancient kick with a hard foot, but like in today's juggling flower bed shows, taking advantage of the falling trend of the flower bed, using the foot to bear and then throwing it into the air.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the altars played were porcelain flower beds and flower pots.
Because these items are clean and smooth, it increases the difficulty of the game, but also develops many new tricks.
The performance programs in modern flower bed shows, such as hand throwing, kicking, back rolling and small somersaults, as well as tricks, such as "throwing high", "crossing the bridge", "holding the moon", "smashing the neck", etc., are inherited and developed on the basis of ancient tricking and entertainment art. "
The fans in the live broadcast room listened to it, and felt empowered, and gained a lot of knowledge about at least this aspect, and they didn't know it before.
"In the past, I only knew how to watch lively, and I never knew that juggling had such a profound historical heritage. In the future, I will be in awe of these artists.
"Look at it, it's not easy to work for a minute on stage and ten years offstage!"
"Can anyone tell me that I'm eighty-six years old now, can I continue to practice? I also want to become a juggler, 1
" "Hahaha boss, you better take good care of yourself, if you go to juggling, maybe you will flash your old waist."
"yes, so, I'm just talking."
Regiment leader Li Hong continued to explain: "As for the "kneading noodles", in the early years, it was called "pinching Jiangmi people", which means kneading with Jiangmi flour.
This is now rare, and it used to be often used to walk the streets, mainly as toys for children. For example, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Mu Guiying, etc., the price is not expensive, but it is vivid, and children like it very much.
There is also a kind of dough kneading people, which specializes in setting up stalls at temple fairs. These people are really crafty, better than those who walk the streets.
As soon as the children visiting the temple fair saw this small stall, they could not walk, because people pinched the real image.
For example, the characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and "Dream of Red Mansions" are all designed according to the plot in the original work, with many shapes and especially good-looking.
There is also a kind of "monkey chestnut", which is actually a puppet show.
The artist himself carries a burden and beats the gong as he walks. At one end of the burden are several large cage drawers, which are full of small puppets and other performance props, and at the other end is a large baggage, inside is a folded log cabin, in front of the wooden house is a stage, and there are curtains on the door.
Finding an open space in the alley, the entertainers began to bang the gong, and adults and children went out to watch.
At this time, the artist began to open the big baggage, and the "stage" inside was taken out and set up.
After that, the artist gets into the curtain, whistles made of reeds or bamboo in his mouth, blows hard, and the play begins.
He played with both hands a puppet with a puppet about a foot tall, with a head carved out of wood and a mechanism inside to control the movement of muscle expressions.
At this time, the artist put his hand into the cloth bag, let the puppet emerge from the stage, and began to perform.
They are highly skilled and can control the puppets with their hands to make vivid movements. Coupled with the music blowing in the mouth, the stories are performed. Adults and children love to watch, and it is very lively.
This play shows a child who goes to the mountains to cut wood and encounters a tiger.
At the beginning, a child dressed in colorful clothes and with an axe behind him sings and walks.
While walking, a big tiger suddenly appeared and ran after the child. The tiger is dancing its teeth and claws in the back, the child is running and looking back, and there are some thrilling antics in between.
In the end, the child was exhausted and was swallowed by the tiger.
After eating, the tiger also lay there without moving.
At this time, another adult came up, chased the tiger and beat it to death.
Finally, the man panted and pulled the child out of the tiger's mouth, and the child was still alive....
Of course, different artists performed different versions, some of which were an adult caught by a tiger, and his daughter-in-law chased him with a kitchen knife and hacked the tiger to death.
Either way, the plot is tense and exciting, the pace is tight and slow, and that's really exciting. Adults and children watched below, their heads squeezed, and there was a round of applause from time to time.
Of course, the artist did not finish all at once, and when it was critical, he suddenly stopped, came out of the curtain, and collected money from the audience.
It doesn't matter if you have more money or less, just give some change.
At this point, all the audience is still quite benevolent, basically there is nothing not to give.
Even if there is no money, they will give food, dry food, or some clothes and shoes.
Anyway, for the common people, they are very hard to watch these artists, it is rare, and every performance risks their lives.
Such jugglers deserve respect!
So, what is
the money, adults and children are anxious to watch the following plot, and they have thrown change into the money box, and the artist saw that the receipt was almost the same, and quickly went back to the performance.
There are actually many artists walking the streets and alleys in old Beijing, most of them are poor people, forced by life to sell art.
The income per performance is actually very small, that is, barely making ends meet. As I said at the beginning, when it was cold and hot, windy and rainy, no one came out to see it.
However, these wandering artists who walk the streets and alleys are the source of happiness for many children. Forced to live and wander the streets, it can bring some fun to children, which is also a major feature of that era.
During this series of performances, the altar as a prop must always be balanced, not toppling or falling, until the altar is finally successfully lowered.
On the portrait stone of the Han Dynasty "Hundred Opera" unearthed in Huyang Xindian in Tanghe County, Nanyang, Henan, there are games of artists playing the altar.
In the middle of the picture, there are four plates and a drum, a male dancer wearing a long-sleeved shirt, boots, one foot standing on the drum, one foot bent knee next to the plate, there is a naked upper body, wearing pants, jumping double pills with his right hand, and a one-handed handstand on the bottle with his left hand on the left side of the juggling altar. Captain
Li Hong felt that after this live broadcast, not only his juggling troupe would become famous, but even the performance of the relevant team members would be worth a hundred times!
In the future, their performances are hard to find!
