Yellow River News Network Beijing News (Reporter Gao Zengping) On April 21, a press conference for the start of filming of the national intangible cultural heritage film "Yellow River Ballads" was held in Beijing. The film will interpret the story of three generations of Lishi playing and singing artists represented by Liu Sanzhan, Mai Qing and their children. These artists adhere to their beliefs, pass on the art of playing and singing, and create the image of civilian heroes who live for the art of playing and singing and measure the light with their lives.
It is understood that the filming location of "Yellow River Ballad" is in Luliang, and will start shooting in May, with a shooting period of 25 days. Famous film and television actor Zhao Xiaorui (played by Li Kui in Water Margin) and other well-known actors participated.
Lishi playing and singing originated from the Luliang area. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Yangko in the east (Fenyang), Daoqing in the west (Linxian), and Xiaoqu (playing and singing) originated in Lishi City". This art form radiated to the mountains and river basins and spread widely. Lishi area has a long history and outstanding people. It is known as Yongning Prefecture and Shizhou. It has a superior geographical environment, surrounded by three mountains: Dragon, Phoenix and Tiger, and surrounded by Beichuan, Da and Xiaodongchuan and Sanchuan Rivers.
The origin of Li Shi Tan Sing can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It was a folk rap art at that time. In 2014, the Lishi District Playing and Singing Protection Association of Luliang City successfully applied for the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. Lishi playing and singing has important historical and cultural value and is a "living fossil" of local history and culture. Lishi playing and singing absorbs techniques from Song Dynasty tunes, dramas, Taoist sentiments, folk songs, operas, two-person stage, temple music, etc. The libretto consists of four lines per verse, with each line being the best seven words. It has the characteristics of improvised singing, rigorous language and vivid rhymes. The special literary and artistic style has formed the characteristics of being vigorous, fresh, concise and bright.
As an intangible cultural heritage, Lishi Dancing and Singing carries rich historical and cultural connotations and has important historical and artistic value. The filming of the national intangible cultural heritage film "Yellow River Ballads" will help inherit and promote this precious cultural heritage.
