Chapter 404 400. Han Diao
The general direction has been determined.

Using the Harvest Festival as an "excuse" and the slogan as "discovering rural food culture and celebrating farmers' festivals."

Using food as an attraction, the target audience is out-of-town tourists, especially old employees of third-tier enterprises.

Promote Tianhan and develop the tourism industry.

In order to form a new economic growth point.

The goal is ambitious, the road is slow, and don't take too big steps at the beginning.

Secretary Wang has even figured out how to do it.

He only needs to ask a few more relevant questions in each meeting. It is like a loud drum without a heavy hammer. If the superiors express some concern, the subordinates will naturally understand the spirit and work hard.

Secretary Wang solved a big problem on his mind and felt relieved.

He took the initiative to invite Luo Yihang to stay for lunch.

There was no party or dinner.

We ate in the canteen of the Municipal Party Committee. Each person had a plate and ordered a random meal. Then they found a table in the canteen and ate directly.

The only person accompanying him was Secretary Cao.

However, the secretary personally entertained only one person, and in public.

The signal it sends...

Those who can appear in the canteen of the Municipal Party Committee are all smart people.

While eating, Luo Yihang asked about the Han Diao Gu Gu.

Secretary Wang didn't know much about it either. It was when he took office that he saw in the information that Tianhan had such an intangible cultural heritage project.

He dipped the cup of free soup in the cafeteria and wrote the word "桄桄" directly on the table with his fingers.

Luo Yihang took a look and found that the name of Uncle Gao Gao, "Lao Gao Gao", was exactly the same as the last time when the village head lady applied for a subsidy for "Uncle Gao Gao" when she went to apply for a land lease.

There is definitely a connection, but these two words are rarely used.

Secretary Wang was from outside, so Luo Yihang asked the local Secretary Cao.

But Secretary Cao was not sure either, so he went to look for someone from the cultural department.

After dinner, Secretary Cao and Luo Yihang drove to Nanzheng County Cultural Center.

After explaining their purpose, a staff member of the cultural center named Wu took the two to the next door.

A place surrounded by red brick walls that looks like a mechanism.

It's a bit strange here. The courtyard wall is open, and a row of small houses are built facing the street, divided into four shops.

They are a printing and copying shop, a fruit shop, a tobacco and alcohol shop and a Shaxian snack shop.

Walk in through the open gate, pass the bicycle shed and the parking lot, and you will see a two-story building in front of you.

The beige exterior walls are decorated with white plasterboard.

Quite beautiful.

Going further into the small building, there is a small theater on the first floor.

At the end is a stage with a curtain.

Below the stage were rows of seats, the kind of folding chairs connected together in old movie theaters.

There are numbers on the backs of the chairs, and the last one at the entrance is number two hundred.

The theater is also quite new.

Luo Yihang asked: "Is this newly built?"

Xiao Wu from the Cultural Center replied: "Yes, it was just built in 14."

"So the Han opera has developed quite well and even has a new theater." Luo Yihang said with a smile.

Xiao Wu responded with a wry smile, "The original theater fell into disrepair and became a dangerous building in 96. In 11, it could no longer hold up and was demolished. This area was owned by the Cultural Center, and a section was separated to become the Gonggong Theater."

Misunderstood. Luo Yihang changed the subject, "Are there any performances now?"

"Yes. There is a show every Saturday." "How many people watch it?"

"Not many. On a good day there can be more than a dozen people, but usually there are only seven or eight spectators."

"..."

No wonder Luo Yihang had never heard of it. There was only one troupe in the city, with one performance a week and around a dozen audience members at its best.

This art form has been in decline.

No wonder I've never heard of it.

Secretary Cao had never heard of it either, so he had to ask about it specifically.

In addition, each of these problems seems to be poking at one's lungs.

Luo Yihang felt a little embarrassed and stopped asking questions.

Follow the cultural center staff around the stage, go out from the small door on the side, and walk through a long corridor into the backyard.

The backstage should be next to the corridor.

In the backyard, or behind the stage, is a row of bungalows.

A gray-haired old man who looked to be in his sixties was waiting at the door to greet us.

Xiao Wu walked over and introduced, "This is Director Zhang Changwen, the director of the Nanzheng County Gugu Opera Troupe."

Then he introduced the other side, "This is Secretary Cao from the Municipal Party Committee, and this is Luo Yihang, an entrepreneur in the city."

Secretary Cao added: "Although Mr. Luo is young, he can be said to be a model entrepreneur in our city. He has been in business for two years and has helped his hometown become rich. His products are sold all over the country. This morning, Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee specially invited him to come over to discuss business. During the discussion, they talked about our Han Diao Luo Luo, and Mr. Luo strongly requested to come over to take a look."

This is a bit straightforward.

As if he was afraid that Captain Zhang didn't understand.

Actually, there is no need at all.

When he was introduced as an entrepreneur, Team Leader Zhang's attitude became three times more enthusiastic, even a little flattering.

Wait for Secretary Cao to finish speaking.

Head Zhang became more polite and asked, "What would Mr. Luo like to see?"

Luo Yihang was embarrassed to address the old man with respect, so he quickly replied: "You can just call me Xiao Luo. I have an elder who may have some relationship with the Gugu opera. I want to learn more about him first to avoid making a mistake."

"Let's go to the showroom then."

Team leader Zhang personally served as the tour guide.

He took Luo Yihang and his group into the room at the very edge.

The room was not big, only about 30 square meters, and was surrounded by glass display cases, with the walls covered with photos and portraits.

The first portrait you see is of a fat old man with a white beard, wearing a long robe and a nine-tassel crown on his head.

The nine-tassel crown is the emperor's crown, the one with nine pearl curtains in front and back.

Director Zhang introduced that "this is King Zhuang of Chu. Unlike other dramas that worship Emperor Minghuang of Tang, Han Opera worships King Zhuang of Chu as its ancestor. This shows that Han Opera was originally a kind of Chu culture."

The tone is very proud, which shows that it is ancient.

Later, Emperor Dezong and Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Tianhan and brought the drama of joining the army with them.

Lu You also has other poems like "When he was in the army in Nanzheng" such as "The sound of bright lanterns fills the building, Baochai's gorgeous dance illuminates the mat. The pipa strings are as fast as the hail, and the 羯鼓 players play the fast as the wind and rain."

Finally, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the old Qinqiang was introduced. Local artists used dialects, folk songs, and folk tunes to enrich the original singing tunes, making the tone and style of the old Qinqiang no longer as high-pitched, intense and rapid as Qinqiang, but becoming soft, delicate, lingering and melodious, thus forming the Han tune.

On May 2006, 5, Handiao Guagu was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list together with Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Sichuan Opera, Qinqiang Opera etc., with heritage number: Ⅳ-20.

After explaining the history of Han Diao Gu Gu.

Captain Xu also took Luo Yihang to visit the musical instruments, costumes and other props.

Among them, Luo Yihang found a puppet.

Judging from the shape, it is the same style as those made by Mr. Gonggong...
