When he returned home, he didn't see Wukong's shadow. Zhang Taiping asked Fan Ming: "I don't see Wukong again. Why don't I see you teaching Wukong to play the gong?"

"Ah, I forgot about this after the New Year." He ran outside and said, "I'll go find it back."

Cai Yazhi asked: "What does the village chief uncle want from you?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "The village has decided to play social games this year. I was called over this morning to discuss what we should do this year."

Cai Yazhi's face was also happy: "The village is finally going to be lively again. There has been no movement for several years." Fuyou said with some disappointment, "I don't know if I will be able to go and see it now."

"It's okay, just let Xing Rushui drive you over when the time comes."

After lunch, Zhang Taiping was about to go out again. Fan Min followed and asked, "Where are you going, brother?"

"Go to the village chief's house."

"Is it because you want to make a fuss this year?"

"Well, that's the matter." Zhang Taiping nodded and replied.

"Let me go with you and see how this Shehuo is made."

"Aren't you going to teach Wukong how to play the gong?"

Fan Ming spread his hands and said: "How can I teach it if I can't even find its shadow? Fortunately, it has almost learned it. It will be enough to teach it for two more days. It will not delay the social fire around the fifteenth century."

."

The two of them came to the village chief's house together, but no one was there. Zhang Taiping asked the old aunt strangely: "Aunt, why don't you see anyone?"

"Everyone has gone to the venue. All the stuff for making the social fire is over there."

The two of them rushed to the venue again, and the place was extremely lively at the moment. There were not only old men and playful children, but also many young wives and old ladies.

Fan Ming saw the two sisters, Da Nier and Er Nier, and happily held their hands and said, "You are here too. I have been here to play with you these past two days, but why are you not at home?"

Er Nier said: "My sister and I went to visit relatives to pay New Year greetings. Sister Mingming, won't you pay New Year greetings?"

"There are no relatives here, so there is no need to pay New Year greetings." Fan Ming said, "Do you know what you have to do?"

Da Nier shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. The handsome uncle should know. Didn't you ask?"

"I haven't had time to ask yet." Fan Ming looked at the people who were moving things out and said, "I heard that there is a Yangko dance team during the social fire, and all women participate. Da Nier, will you join?

"

"Hehe." Ernier covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Mingming, are you ready to perform the Yangko dance?"

Fan Ming didn't know why she was laughing, but she nodded and expressed her thoughts: "Yes, it's so lively. I'm going to have some fun too, and want to find someone to join me. Da Nier, how about we

Let’s go together?”

Er Nier burst out laughing when she heard what she said.

Yangge twisting is a representative folk dance that is loved by the Chinese people and is mainly popular in the vast areas of northern my country. It is a singing activity performed by farmers when transplanting rice seedlings and originated from agricultural production labor. In Shaanxi, it is a Yangge dance in northern Shaanxi. The twist is the most distinctive, just like the Shehuo in Baoji, it has become a signature of folk art.

During the Yangko dance, teams ranging from a dozen to a hundred people wear uniform colorful costumes, hold fans or ribbons in their hands, and dance while dancing, which is quite interesting.

Fan Ming asked Er Nier strangely: "Er Nier, why are you laughing?"

Da Nier took a picture of Er Nier and explained to Fan Ming: "Although the Yangko dance is lively, the participants are usually women in their thirties or even older, and they have to wear unsightly costumes, which is very difficult.

Very few girls participate.”

"Ah!" Fan Ming blushed. "That's right. I didn't know it was an event for middle-aged women, and I was planning to attend it. Doesn't that mean there are no events for us to participate in?"

Fan Ming shook his head and said, "If you can't perform the Yangko dance, you can still participate in other activities."

"Oh?" Fan Ming's eyes lit up. "What other activities are there? Tell me about it, Da Nier."

Da Nier gave her a detailed list of activities that girls of their age can participate in: "You can drive bamboo horses, or you can drive a land boat."

There are two types of bamboo horses. An ancient children's toy, which is "riding" on a bamboo pole between the two hips. One hand holds the head of the pole and the tail of the pole is dragged to the ground. It runs like a horse, which is called riding.

Bamboo horses. Whether in the south or the north, children like to ride bamboo horses. There is also a song that goes: "The sky is bright, the grass is green, the talented scholar rides the bamboo horse, crosses the Nantang, and sees the beautiful girl." This does not seem to be suitable for the age of the children.

There is also a boy who rides a bamboo horse and sings: "I am a handsome boy, I ride to school, my teacher thinks I am young, and I have a lot to say." This vividly portrays the air of a young man relying on his talent.

In my memory, boys aged seven, eight or ten often used bamboo poles as guns. You played Zhao Zilong and I played Zhang Yide, and they fought randomly on the empty field.

Another kind of bamboo horse is an element in Shehuo, which is a kind of folk art. It is made of bamboo. The middle of the bamboo horse's body is hollow, and a woman with a slender waist can just put it on her body, and use two straps.

Astride the shoulders, the hands are decorated with small whips, and they move with special steps while waving the whips in their hands. It is also a unique dance. Therefore, generally those who drive bamboo horses are slender young women.

The land boat is similar to the bamboo horse. It is one of the Han folk performing arts forms. It is the most popular in Shanxi, but it is also widely spread in Shaanxi. It is a folk dance that simulates boating in the water.

A "land boat" is a wooden frame made according to the appearance of a boat. Around this boat-shaped wooden frame, there is a cotton skirt painted with water patterns or a sea-blue cotton skirt. The top of the boat is decorated with red silk

, paper flowers, and some places are equipped with colored lights, mirrors and other decorations, making this or a dozen boats look gorgeous and extraordinary.

A land boat is naturally a boat on land, but unlike running a bamboo horse, at least two people are required to ride a land boat. The boat riders are mostly girls or young wives, who are in the center of the land boat. A young man is also required to hold the boat in front.

The oar serves as the person rowing the boat. As he continues to row in the air in front, the girl or daughter-in-law in the boat will swing the boat and follow behind.

"Then let's go land boating or run bamboo horses!" Fan Ming said.

"Okay." Da Nier said, "But if the distance is long, it may be a bit tiring to rock the land boat, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. Let's just go on a bamboo horse."

"Yeah." Fan Ming nodded, "Then let's run the bamboo horse."

Er Nier clapped her hands beside her and said, "I also run bamboo horse, I also run bamboo horse."

The old village chief said with a big loudspeaker: "Our village is a bit small and we can't do many tricks, so this year we only prepared a few bamboo horses and land boats, and then a few cores and two lions. The other things are just

No one is ready."

A woman asked: "Village chief, don't we prepare a Yangko team?"

The old village chief explained: "The Yangko team needs a lot of people. There are too few people in our village who can dance. There is no way to prepare a Yangko team. If anyone has this idea, they can go to Fengyukou Village and directly join their Yangko team.

Team, anyway, we will share the social fire with them when the time comes."

After moving the things out of the workshop, they were all covered with dust, and some of them had even been bitten by mice.

Of course, those things that were bitten by mice were immediately redecorated and painted with silk and colored paper, and this person was Old Man Qian. In the mountain village, Old Man Qian can be said to be an all-rounder.

For those things that were not damaged but were just covered with dust, the old village chief shouted: "If any of you are willing to participate, hurry up and get the things. Go back and give them a good scrub to see if there are any damages and then come over and repair them. If there is no damage, tomorrow

Come back in the morning to register."

Fan Ming and the others hurried over and each brought out a bamboo horse.

Fan Ming asked Da Nier: "Can you run a bamboo horse?"

Er Ni'er said: "My sister will naturally run. The year before last, when there was a social show in the village, my sister ran the bamboo horse. Everyone said that my sister was the best runner."

Fan Ming said: "Then don't worry, let's go to your house, clean the dust on these things first, and then you teach me how to run."

Da Nier nodded: "Okay." The three girls took the bamboo horses and left first.
