rap is self-made
in the city, the view is to walk the lantern, walk side to see, but in the East Yang village, the lamp is to play, and this process is very particular, each step is the rules left by generations.
the first twelve of the month, before taking the lantern, water should be taken. After the sixteen of the first month, the water will be sent again. Xu Xinsheng, the old man, said: "this is to pray for a year of wind and rain, water and water to have ritual, water from the Qing River, to be served, and then back. There must be dragons, a dragon and a dragon in the queue. The lights also have four big pieces, fish, shrimp, tortoises and mussels. In the past, the lights were to visit each other. You went to the village to play the lights, and people would have to come to your village. This is the harmony.
Xu Xinsheng used to be in charge of juggling, playing with donkeys, and rowing boats. He was not only acting but also singing. "It is a five tone play, like singing, and words can be written by themselves. Playing lantern is not all rely on teaching, mainly for its own sake, can be temporarily played. Now, you can write some new words and publicize new contents.
in the eyes of Xu Xinsheng, the lights are busy, but the actors can't make a fainty and elaborate. "The young people are not as good as we are, only to learn some fur." Last year, the neighbouring village invited us to perform. The old man in the village was waiting for hours with MA Zhen. But the young people in the village were in a hurry. I didn't feel good. I was angry. It was a folk thing. The performance was really true. " The old man Xu Xinsheng hoped, these folk custom never disappear, "I compiling the singing, the words have been arranged down, but the tune can only be handed down, want to go down, can not be lost."
