Chapter 488: Even if culture is eliminated, it still needs to be recorded.
Time passed like this.
The recording work is progressing steadily.
Under the leadership of the Academy of Social Sciences boss, editing and proofreading work began.
Records on ethnic minority economics, law, philosophy, archaeology, history, literature, language, religion, art, etc. began to gather together, and were analyzed, discussed, and confirmed by various experts on the spot.
It’s hard to guarantee that social sciences are good at all.
It is very common to understand the wrong direction.
Just like the Jiahu archeology, if he hadn't checked with an expert on musical instruments, if Li Jinglin hadn't had a flash of inspiration, he suddenly remembered the record of "龠" in ancient books.
I'm afraid, this thing will really be treated as a "flute" by the academic community.
This is especially true for the culture of ethnic minorities.
"It's time to leave here. There are too many things that need to be recorded down there. I will probably have to travel to several places next."
Behind the Black Yi, the White Yi are still waiting in line.
In this record, 117 dance routines were found.
"Oh? That's a really good result!"
Luo Shiyao and Li Jinglin sighed together in perfect agreement.
While Luo Shiyao was excited, she was also a little melancholy.
There is no music in the video.
Luo Shiyao is following the choreographer of the Opera and Dance Theater to conduct detailed research on ethnic dance.
If it were not for recording, organizing, and collecting, some neglected action routines would probably be lost in the long stream of history.
But sitting there, analyzing records
It's just too draining of brain cells.
Li Jinglin's eyes lit up.
Among them, there are 62 sets of sine and 55 sets of miscellaneous strings.
Simply based on folk culture and local names, various elements and actions are recorded.
"Approximately how many sets of dance moves have we recorded now?"
Of course, the form of this dance is not expressed through the work.
Squeeze? I can't stop at all.
But even though there have been considerable breakthroughs so far, there are only 117 sets of routines that have been actually collected and compiled.
Li Jinglin, who was working as a consultant for the dance recording group, asked during a break.
Let’s look at it from the academic comparison between mountain style and dam area style, combined with folklore.
Who would have thought that after half a month of hard work, not even the branches of the Yi people have gone out?
If rhythm is not needed, there is only the simplest metronome.
"So far, only 117 sets of cigarette box dance have been compiled."
"Well, the cigarette box dance branch has basically been recorded, and other dances are being recorded."
What is certain is that there should be as many as 220 dance routines.
What is the name of this action, what is its origin, what kind of linkage does it have with local culture, thought, even religion, or history, where does it come from, what is it like, and where is it often used.
After visiting the Red Yi, I want to see the Black Yi.
For a dancer like Luo Shiyao, it would naturally be a pity.
"Ugh."
After walking through one Red Yi group, go to another Red Yi group.
There is no need to jump, as the local people can display it well.
Originally, there were only eighty-nine types of dance routines collected and compiled for the Yi cigarette box dance.
It’s really a huge workload.
Those that are similar and those that are different need to be screened.
Luo Shiyao rubbed her eyes.
Pain and happiness.
Of course, the recording of video materials is also proceeding smoothly.
It is indeed a paradise for studying folklore and national culture and art.
with hell.
Through the content passed down orally from generation to generation, the characteristics of Yi music and the different dance routines inherited by different Red Yi ethnic groups complement each other.
This is also a huge workload for Luo Shiyao.
Southern Yunnan, Southern Yunnan.
There are also more than a hundred sets of dance moves
It is very likely that it has been lost to history.
And once the big project of the Yi people is completed, can it be completed? !
Laugh to death.
Just in southern Yunnan.
There are more than twenty ethnic groups waiting behind.
Not to mention other ethnic minorities across the country.
I can't hold myself tight at all.
Although the entire large-scale record collection task involved quite a few experts, scholars, and top consultants in related professions.
But here is the problem.
There are really few scholars in some unpopular majors.
For example, some researchers of intangible cultural heritage.
For example, Li Jinglin is both an intangible cultural heritage researcher and one of the few musical instrument experts in China.
I can't wait to tear one person into ten people and use it.
The difficulty of cultivating high-end talents in culture and art is by no means inferior to that of medical or science researchers.
On the basis of ensuring the resolution ability and P ancient position, it is also necessary to learn from the strengths of others and have professional knowledge across several fields.
It is indeed too difficult.
Just for example.
Summarizing the national culture of southern Yunnan, it begins to involve an art that many people "sneer at".
tattoo.
Most modern tattoos are made by ignorant children who think they are cool, so they show them off everywhere. In addition, in ancient China, the word "tattoo" was often associated with punishment, which makes it appear very negative.
For example, the tattoo punishment in the pre-Qin era was to tattoo words on the prisoners' faces.
But in fact, this is really an interesting part of Chinese culture.
Tattoo, carving, tattooing, tattooing, engraving
Tattooing is not so much a punishment as it is a warning. The biggest example is the mother-in-law getting a tattoo to show loyalty to the country. But still the same sentence.
Chinese culture is diverse and integrated.
In Chinese culture, tattoos serve as warnings and are often used as punishments.
But this may not be the case in other cultures.
Cultural differences need to be tolerated, and there should be no cultural discrimination. Tattoos are not just for gangsters, nor are they imported.
In southern Yunnan.
Tattoo culture is the most direct decorative art, and its history can even be traced back to the Mesolithic Age.
In the cultural legends of ethnic minorities, the original purpose of tattoos was to prevent the ghosts of the deceased from recognizing themselves. Later, some people began to tattoo the totem worship of their clan on their bodies, which meant that they were possessed by sacred objects and were given a handkerchief. watt.
It was not until later developments that primitive humans began to feel that this had a kind of beauty.
In the study of folklore.
The tattoos of ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan are closely linked to their culture, history, legends and beliefs.
Even in modern times.
There are still many ethnic groups such as the Dai, Dulong, Wa, Jinuo, etc. who still have this custom.
This even includes the worship of ancestors and ancient heroes.
Even in modern times, these peoples do not use "technology" and still use "ancient methods" that are very dangerous from the perspective of modern people.
Moreover, there are also unique folk cultural requirements. Only by accepting special symbols left from ancestors can one have status within the clan. When some men and women reach adulthood, this will even become a coming-of-age ceremony.
Along the way, I saw these weird ethnic customs and various diverse cultures.
Li Jinglin also had many feelings.
Whether it is a bad habit is actually a very rigorous academic question.
If we look at the local people’s living habits, personal wishes, acceptance, and the artistic value they contain.
Many experts firmly believe that.
Such cultural customs should be "not actively promoted" and "not widely promoted."
But we must "protect", "inherit", and "respect".
Under the impact of modern culture and modern aesthetics.
Tattoos, something that is very pure and of great historical significance to the Li people, are gradually becoming less common.
The craftsmanship is gradually lost.
So, with the consent of the local people.
The scientific expedition team, armed with high-end cameras, traveled long distances over mountains and ridges and arrived at a walled city that still retained its ancient atmosphere.
Found the last tattoo artist in the tribe who is nearly 70 years old.
Tattooing for a young man who has just turned 18 years old and is willing to pass on the culture of his ancestors.
And, record the entire process.
Ancient methods will always fall behind one day, customs will also change, and craftsmanship will be replaced.
The gradual disappearance of some national cultures seems to be a historical necessity.
But for Li Jinglin personally, it is very important to protect the unique and splendid cultural heritage.
This is not old school.
Even for some cultural customs, Li Jinglin himself believes that he is lagging behind.
But be respectful and record it. Even if it is lost, it must be known to future generations.
Some cultures have come before and have been brilliant.
They entrust a group of people to engrave their colorful souls over the long years.
Time passed slowly.
Li Jinglin also ran in the mountains for more than a month.
It can definitely be considered a displacement.
After all, although the country has vigorously built many roads, the infrastructure is full
But walking on the mountain road is indeed a bit overwhelming for Li Jinglin, a city kid who is "pampered" and has "fine skin and tender flesh".
After Li Jinglin and Luo Shiyao finally came out of the mountains.
The whole person was darkened.
Even the clothes were changed twice.
I even threw away three pairs of shoes.
It’s really not wasteful or pretentious.
Friends who often walk on mountain trails should know that if they roll twice in the mountains, no matter how solid the leather shoes are, they will probably be scrapped.
Came to Kunming with Luo Shiyao.
After meeting Professor Ma again, he was greeted with a wave of very hearty ridicule.
"Hahahahaha! Mr. Li, this mountain is really nurturing. Look at you, you are so evil."
"Lao Ma, you are quite handsome when you are not talking."
Li Jinglin curled his lips.
When I looked in the mirror and compared the previous photos, I was also very shocked.
I thought about it for three days and three nights but still couldn't figure it out.
Why local people can guarantee clean and clear water.
But what if I just exploded?
Will these frozen pears from the Northeast really be spoiled when they come to the mountains in the South?
"Now I just want to find your friend quickly and get the job done."
Li Jinglin muttered.
"It doesn't matter if the old man is black or not, just wait in the studio for a few days and he'll be fine."
"Hahaha!"
Professor Ma couldn't help but laugh.
But he still restrained himself a lot.
after all
Even if she takes good care of herself, Luo Shiyao will inevitably turn a little darker. Besides, it would be rude.
"Okay, I'll take you there right away."
Professor Ma smiled.
"You haven't eaten yet, why don't we go have a meal together?"
