In the future, citizens can go to 8 tourism consultation sub-centers and 34 neighborhood centers in Minhang District to read the book "Discovering Different Minhang", receive the Interesting Orientation Task Book, experience Minhang's characteristic tourist routes, complete the orientation tasks within the specified time, and receive Minhang tourist souvenirs.
A sheepskin, a set of knives, a piece of white cloth, a sewing thread and a few bamboo sticks make up the Shanghai Qibao Shadow Play. It is with these tools that the shadow puppeteer opens his eyes, puts on a beautiful and elegant bun, and puts on clothes of various colors ... From the moment the lights are on, the shadow puppeteer has a talking and moving body and language, a thinking mind and a sentimental heart ... In fact, he has a soul.
If you haven't seen Qibao's shadow play with your own eyes, then you will never know what the world is like in the eyes of the shadow puppeteer. "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang ..." This is Yang Jiajiang who just knocked down the fan. "Even if the somersault cloud is 108,000, I only need to turn three times ..." This is the confession of Shadow Play.
(1987 Qibao Bookstore Qibao Shadow Play)
When given life, every shadow play performer has an indissoluble bond with its interpreter. Hands-on and hands-on make their limbs flexible but not rigid. The coordination of erhu, flute and suona enables them to stage their own stories in a dynamic way. China's Hu, Sanxian, Ruan, and small hall drums, gongs and cymbals add their fun to every different scene and node.
Even in a humble environment, with these, shadow plays have life, which is their attraction. No matter what the surrounding environment is, it is noisy, bleak and simple, even if there is only one viewer, they will use their fragile bodies to restore a reality, only interpret life in their own world and indulge in their own stories.
Once again, I walked into Qibao Shadow Play Art Museum in Qibao Street, where there are countless shadow plays. Some of the shadow puppeteers here have been on the stage of life for a long time, some have just been given new life, some have been forgotten in the corner, injured or broken, and can no longer leave a trace.
The white sky lantern lit up the curtain, and after the halo dispersed, every shadow play looked so vivid. This is the most authentic folk art, which combines folk drama, folk art, folk crafts, folk music, folk literature and dialects. This is the truest aesthetic portrayal of Shanghainese themselves. They speak Shanghainese dialect, sing the unique charm of Shanghai style, interpret various stories, and lament or rejoice for themselves. Once inside, you will know their world, understand their emotions, and really fall in love with Qibao Shadow Play.
Since the first story of Hongxutang Shadow Play Class was staged in Xieyuantang, Qibao Town, it was doomed that Minhang and Shadow Play could never give up their lingering past lives. Mao Gengyu devoted his life to shadow play, which brought the development climax of Shanghai shadow play. Shadow play has had its heyday, stagnation, glory and disillusionment in the future development. However, the shadow puppeteers still come to this day with their own charm, "too busy to sing", the most beautiful portrayal, the most authentic monologue, and the most submerged shadow puppeteer world.
