Chapter 130 The opening of the grassland event Reba
"The martial arts competition has officially begun."
The opening remarks of Yundan King were very short, but simple but not simple. The Eight Character Mantra had the power to clear away the dark clouds and see the blue sky. Because just after he finished speaking, the applause, shouting, and whistle from the audience had already sounded. They liked this way of opening because they would like the most next, and they had been looking forward to the opening ceremony Reba dance time that had been waiting for a year.
Reba dance originates from life, but is higher than life. Tibetan folk self-entertainment dance can be divided into two categories: "六" and "六". "六" is mainly a collective singing and dancing form circulating among Tibetan folk, and it is divided into four types: "六", "六" (i.e. "六"), "六" and "六". Later, simple upper limb movements were added, on-site rotation and formation transformation, becoming a form of labor singing and dancing in which men and women alternate, singing and dancing.
The trinity of the performance of "Tartar Dance" and "Miscellaneous Songs" with a certain plot are circulated in Chamdo, Ministry of Industry and Yunnan, and Tibetan areas in Sichuan Province. It was a mixed art song and dance program in which wandering artists used to make a living by selling their art. "Reba Zhuo" is a two-person "Tartar Dance" performed by male and female artists. Now, what people call "Reba Zhuo" and "Reba" are basically referring to "Tartar Dance". "Tartar Dance" is a distinctive "inspiration" in "Tartar Dance".
Reba dance is a collective large-scale singing and dancing accompanied by drums and cymbals (single cymbals) and gongs. It has strong skills. Its dances lightly at first, with unrestrained emotions at climaxes and rough and powerful movements.
The original intention of dancing Reba dance was to seek Buddha's blessing for the safety of the village, to prosper the village, to ward off disasters, and to pray for a good harvest. Artists in singing, dancing, instrumental music, clothing, etc. need to undergo long-term training before participating. It can be seen that Tso Muhun has put a lot of effort into this martial arts competition. When he learned that the planner of the entire opening ceremony was Zhimacuo, Wu Yonglin was impressed by his omnipotent talent. He did not want to be an enemy of such a person from the bottom of his heart.
The crowd had already dispersed from the middle, and Wu Yonglin, a dancer who participated in the Reba dance, counted for a few days, no less than five hundred people. When the uniform sound of drums hit everyone's hearts, the graceful and swaying water bloomed like flowers, even Wu Yonglin was infected by this atmosphere and did not want to move his eyes away from them for a moment.
Perhaps it is to make the release of male hormones from all the warriors this time worth the money. These more than 500 people are all women, not old, with an average age of about twenty years old, and they should come from different tribes and factions, because they can be distinguished from the costumes they wear.
Cuomli told Wu Yonglin that the area in the middle was a dancer from Lhasa. The clothes they wore were made of silk, serge and other fabrics, so the color was simple and elegant. They were like lotus flowers that were not stained with mud, making people feel like they were looking far away.
The row behind the simple and elegant lotus flowers are herders from the northern Tibetan pastoral area. They all wear leather robes, with shiny leather robes facing outward, with colorful threads sewing them into large patterns. The women's leather robes have many wide ribbon trims on them, decorated side by side at the back, including black, red, green, purple and other colors. Most of them are five to seven, and some are covered with leather surfaces. The most obvious feature is that they braid their heads into countless small braids, and they also wear otoliths, agate, coral, amber, etc. directly in strings and fixed them in the braids. The brilliant light of the jades has long made the people around them look at them. Wu Yonglin quipped them as women chasing stars.
The left side of the Lhasa dancers came from the southeastern Tubo region. Cuomuli told Wu Yonglin that the most typical feature of the work-fabric clothing they wore was that both men and women wore "Guxiu", that is, wide sleeveless robes, and women's clothing "Guxiu" drooped to the feet. "Guxiu" is mostly made of mattes, and some are made of fur. Their boots are also very particular, including "na knives" and "Japanese games", which are worn by both men and women. The "Japanese games" boots they wore this time were worn only by festivals.
The last part of the dancers came from the Ali area in the west, where finely made and elegantly decorated lambskin robes are popular. The fabrics of lambs are mainly woolen, collars, sleeves, and collars are inlaid with otter skins, and coats and satin. This is quite distinctive in the entire Tibetan area. The most exquisite and unique thing about Pulan clothing is women's "peacock" clothing, which is closely linked to the beautiful name of the Ali Peacock River. The source of the Peacock River is like a peacock, which is a symbol of beauty and auspiciousness. In order to make peacock-like beauty and auspiciousness exist forever on this land, the women's decorations imitate peacocks and become popular today. The hats worn by women are called "
"Chemma" is a cylinder hat made of brown and blue colored line. The bottom edge of the hat is cut into a braid. The woman's earrings are made of coral and pearls, about 15 cm long. The unique hat and earrings symbolize the head crown of a peacock. The woman's back is tied with "Gaba", that is, the apron on the back. "Gaba" is made of goatskin with pure white and smooth fur. The middle is inlaid with brown and blue wavy with round patterns. It is the wings of a graceful peacock. The three forks at the bottom are the tail feathers of the peacock. Some "Gaba" leather surfaces are covered with colorful satin, which has an extraordinary charm, just like a peacock appearing in front of her, beautiful and colorful.
When these four parts dance together, they do not seem so disharmonious. Instead, they give people a sense of attractive explosive power in their weakness, which makes people unforgettable for a long time. Only in this era can the original beauty of wildness be seen.
Reba dance is divided into 12 sections. Before each section, it is chanted a word, which means praises the heaven, earth, sun, moon, mountains, rivers, Bodhisattvas, etc. The program performed at least must be less than nine programs: "Praise the heaven, earth, worship the four directions", "Sun, moon, stars", "Drums spread, peace in all directions", "Gods and Buddhas singing and dancing with us", "Gods and Buddhas fighting with us", "Crows blowing big talk", "Good friends, Mila descending the sacred mountain", "Hero Niburi defeated the demon Duniaba", "Sending gods and Buddhas, VIPs". In order to attract the audience, the dance in Reba pays attention to the graceful dance posture and difficult arrangement of movements, like the ancient hundred operas with acrobatics, martial arts and other artistic skills.
Cuomli told Wu Yonglin that the original Reba dance had the same number of men and women, and the leader played the main role. This time they were unified into women, and there were actually unsuccessful reasons. In recent years, the royal family has been fighting each other and there are few males. It can be seen that this Reba dance was selected by many people, so in order to attract attention, they danced very hard.
Wu Yonglin teased Chuomli and said, "Did you take this opportunity to find a stepmother for Duanmuxiong?"
Tsomuli's face turned red and he looked at Duanmuxiong. It seemed that only through his resentment could he dare to take the next step.
As for whether Duanmuxiong heard Wu Yonglin's words, it is unknown.
Look at the square again - the dancer's waist is dyed with three or five-color braids woven with wool or cow wool. With various powerful and difficult movements, the skirt floats up, appearing soft and freely. The performer skillfully does one-leg rotation and various jumpers, squaring and flipping, etc., such as a woman "turning with drums", "cat jumping over", "turning forward and reverse", "beating drums with high and low", etc., which are changing and have a burning mood. For example, "rabbit jumping" that expresses the animal form, or "twist jumping", or "rolling away"
Mao, or "walking short", "crossing legs" that expresses skills and skills, or "shouldering one leg", or "squatting on the bell", or "lying on the lieutenant"; "wrestling and gladiator" that expresses play and sports competition, "turtle climbing sand", "pile arhat", and "rolling pot"; Reba's dance style and skills are skilled and precise, with fierce and tense rhythm, rich expressions, unrestrained emotions, rough and heroic, heroic and bold, steady and generous, with graceful and changeable dance postures, and a whole set of programs, including pantomime, acrobatics and other components.
When the whole set of movements was completed like flowing water, there was no applause in the crowd because they didn't want the show that made them fascinated. They were all waiting for the leading dancers to formally lead all the dancers to bow and express their gratitude.
