The legend of Nüwa in Pingli County

After Pangu opened the world, it took thousands of years to give birth to Nüwa in his body.

Nuwa is very beautiful, she made clothes for herself with leaves and flowers, and wore a wreath of wildflowers on her head.

One day, Nuwa was playing around and came to the water's edge.

Nuwa saw her beautiful reflection in the water, curious and happy.

Since then, Nuwa has often come to the water's edge to watch her reflection and sing and dance, because she never knew what she looked like before.

Over time, Nuwa felt very lonely alone.

Nuwa liked her reflection in the river very much, so she pinched the villain with dirt according to the reflection in the river.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the pinched little man was placed on the ground, he ran away alive.

So Nuwa kept pinching, and as a result, she created many villains, both men and women. There were some little people who did not run away and gathered around her, dancing and singing.

Nuwa also happily danced with the little people.

After dancing, Nuwa returned to the water's edge to pinch the villain.

Nuwa was finally tired and hungry, so she went to the Buzhou Mountain, which was full of strange flowers and plants, to find food.

On the Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa found ginseng fruits, circle fruits, and long strings of star anise melons to fill her hunger.

After eating, Nuwa grabbed a rattan and swung it from the mountain back to the water's edge.

Nuwa buried the rattan in the muddy water, threw it hard, and the dirt she brought out fell to the ground, turning into a villain.

The drier Nuwa became, the happier she became, so she whipped with rattan.

Unexpectedly, some of the dirt that fell down became small people, and some of them became tigers, lions, fish with legs, goats, shrimp with wings, and many other animal monsters. 19 After Nuwa finished creating people and animals, she lay down on the Buzhou Mountain to rest.

Nuwa and the people and animals she made lived happily on the earth.

One day, several big stars fell from the universe and smashed the sky into a big hole.

The stars fell to the ground, smashed many large pits on the ground, and then flowed out of the large crater, and immediately erupted like a volcano.

Demons and ghosts in the forest and water take advantage of the opportunity to come out and eat people.

Nuwa took a look, this is also good! She ran upstream of the flood, grabbed the flood demon, peeled its skin to make a water bag, and filled it with water to extinguish the forest fire.

Nuwa picked up the huge rattan again and drove the demons back to the forest.

Nuwa found a large stone from Buzhou Mountain and threw it into the big pit where the stars were smashed, blocking the lava.

And with many leaves of reeds, they were placed on stones and piled up into holes in the heavens.

Then Nuwa found countless white, red, cyan, blue, and yellow gemstones and placed them on the reeds.

Nuwa picked up two flint stones and smashed them hard, knocking out a lot of Mars, Mars ignited reeds, and the heavens and the earth were illuminated by huge flames of red.

Slowly the stone was burned red and burned by the fire, turning into a blue viscous stone pulp.

Nuwa used molten stone pulp to glue the big holes in the sky little by little.

After Nuwa made up the heavens, the heavens were still as green as before, as if they had never been broken.

The stones under the reed leaves were burned into metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron. Later, the weapons that people used in wars and the coins they used to buy things were all made of them.

Although the heavens were repaired by Nuwa, the flood on the earth was still raging.

Nuwa gathers people.

She taught people to collect the leaves of the reeds.

These reed leaves are then piled up and mixed with the remaining stone slurry to burn them into a thick layer of plaster.

She told people to pour the burned ash into the cracks in the ground.

The seams of the earth were slowly glued, and the earth returned to its former vitality.

People cheered around Nuwa in triumph

Then the girls danced happily around Nuwa to celebrate the moment.

Nuwa was finally leaving, and she reluctantly said goodbye to the people.

People knelt on the ground to send her off.

Nuwa was gone, and the path she walked was full of beautiful flowers.

Later generations never saw her again, some people said that she became a beautiful and auspicious phoenix, and the legend of Nuwa has been passed down from generation to generation.

String cavity

It is named after the string hu sung alongside. Also known as "high cavity", it is named after the singing cavity that has a helping cavity at the end. It is endemic to the junction areas of southern Shaanxi, western Hubei and northern Sichuan. In Shaanxi, it is mainly active in Pingli, Zhenping, Xixiang, Xunyang and other places.

The development of string drama has generally experienced rap and shadow puppetry Three stages with stage performances and so on. According to the oral account of Li Jiande, an old artist of Pingli Shuitianhe, in 1962, the string play began with his great-grandfather Li Jingmou. It was passed on to his great-grandfather Li Xinglie, and then to his father Li Liansheng and himself, for more than 180 years. The vocal cavity of the string play mainly originates from the rap art "Lotus Falling" in southern Shaanxi. According to Li Jiande, it was called "Lotus Fall" when his great-grandfather Li Jingmou (about Qing Jiaqing 1796-1820) was born. Only with percussion gongs and drums and small tooth plates, sitting in class rap. During the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years (185l to 1874), due to the influence of "Southern Shaanxi Quzi", he began to use the three strings and 1 hu and other plucked and stringed instruments to accompany, and changed to shadow puppetry, officially renamed "string cavity". Li Jiande still preserves the manuscript of Bai Liangguan in the first year of the Qing Dynasty (1862). ("1962 Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Culture Survey Materials") The class was founded slightly later than Li Jiaban, as well as the Wang Jiaban of Lianxianghe in the twenty-fifth year of Qing Daoguang (1845), which continued the four generations of artists such as Yan, Xue, Zhou and Tai.

After the Xinhai Revolution, the string shadow drama developed rapidly, the family class gradually broke the old habit of art not being passed on, and actively brought disciples to pass on the art, to the thirteenth year of the Republic of China (1924), Pingli newly built string shadow drama class as many as fourteen classes, added thirteen pairs of drama boxes, more than 100 practitioners, and successively emerged Li Junzhi, Li Junjiang, Wang Guoshun, Wang Guojun, Fan Lilong, Wu Shikai, Chen Xibu, Chai Fuyou, Guo Dashen, Wang Junji and a number of other artists, the performance was extremely active. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, due to the chaos of war and famine, most of the class societies disintegrated, few entertainers fell, and string drama was on the verge of extinction.

There are 853 traditional plays of string plays, and only the old artist Fan Lisan has preserved more than 140 copies. The repertoire is mostly based on historical stories such as "The Nations", "Three Kingdoms", "Speaking of Tang", "Yang Family General" and so on; Only a small part of the folk tale plays are involved. Most of the lyrics are seven words and ten words, sung in the southern Shaanxi dialect, which is easy to understand. Because of the performance of the string shadow play, it is necessary to watch the script to sing, forming the habit of artists to save the script.

The singing voice of the string play is divided into even sentences and strange sentences, such as "hard work", "color cavity", etc. are strange sentences, seven or nine sentences are one paragraph, the rest are even sentences, and four sentences are one paragraph. All singing sections have the characteristics of half speaking and half singing, and suddenly listening, giving people the feeling of schoolchildren reading. Each song ends with "lost cavity" and "shouting cavity". "Losing the cavity", also known as "dry white", refers to the last four words of the last sentence of the singing word, do not sing, only in the accompaniment of the strings to say white. After "speaking plainly", it is "shouting cavity" (that is, helping cavity). The literary field is mainly composed of strings and hu, and the martial field is mainly sandalwood. The sandalwood surface is engraved with long grooves, the wide and shallow grooves are old teeth, and the narrow and deep ones are sub-teeth. The old teeth play the role of the cloud teeth of the general opera, and the sub-teeth play the role of drum rod roller strings.

The strings are complete, raw, dan, net and ugly, and they all adopt the singing method of combining true and false voices, commonly known as "old with young".

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Pingli County In 1958, the professional opera workers of the troupe invited the string shadow opera artists to teach the string play skills with the troupe, and through the trial rehearsal performance of the play "Feishan Yan", they were played by people and moved to the opera stage. The accompaniment instruments added erhu, flute and violin; The singing performance absorbs the artistic component of the Chinese tone and the second spring, and initially has the characteristics of stage play. In 1960, with the play "Three Stones, Two Two Seven", he participated in the performance of the newly moved stage drama in Shaanxi Province and won the first prize for performance. In 1962, a group of young actors were recruited, specially taught by the Yansuo Elder Artists, and the first successors were trained. By the end of 1982, the Pingli County Opera Troupe had successively arranged and adapted traditional plays for performance, including "Purple Gold Bracelet", "Suoyang Guan", "Zhao Kuangyin Xia Hedong", and "Butterfly" Cup", "Send Fragrant Tea", "Dowry", "Persuasion", "Nine Pearls", etc., and created and performed new repertoire such as "Spring Flower Worship Shou", "Chasing Box" (see picture), "Two Faces Happy", etc., so that the string play has entered a new era of development.
