Text/Xia Mengyu

In Sichuan dialects, some older people will refer to people who have issued orders in the team as "barrels" or "signing". For example: "The legal representative of our company is Wang Qianrong. In fact, it is Liu Dashan, which is' bucket. People, looking for others are empty. "From these two examples, we can see that" buckets "or" signing signs "are real people who are really in power. The source of these two words is What is it?

The two words of "bucket" and "signing" are derived from Sichuan opera. Drama must be equipped with music, not only a kind of accompaniment, but also plays an order to control and control the rhythm. Sichuan opera music has the saying that "three -point piano and seven points drums", which means that the gongs and drums are particularly important, which is also a major feature of Sichuan opera.

Before the actor, there must be an opening gongs and drums, and various scenes in the middle must be equipped with gongs and drums. The gongs and drums sounded, and the atmosphere and taste corresponding to the situation came out. In the entire band, the drummer who assumed the role of the drum (also known as the "Drum") was the chief of the band, the core, and other musicians of other percussion chords and management music were commanded by him. During the performance, the drummer was not empty: the "board" (also known as "handle") he held his left hand was made of three hard woods with red silk, pinching one piece below, shaking the two pieces above The sound of the sound is the "board" in the rhythm; he holds a "sign" (also known as "sign", which is slightly thinner than chopsticks). "Eyes". The so -called "there is a plate and eye" means that all musicians have to perform according to the "board" and "eyes" hit by the drummer. The whole scene or the fun of a play, the pause of the midway, and the fast and slow performance of the performance of the performance must be acting according to the drummer's command. The drummer's "signing" is a bit like the command stick in the hands of modern bands. It is a order, which has a specific meaning, and the musicians are performing step by step according to this.

Probably because the drummer is the leader of the band, the "unification" and the "barrel" are the same, so the Sichuan people witly call the drummer as the "barrel"; he signed a "signing" to issue an order, so he again Known as "signing". As a result, the person who controls power is called "barrel" or "signing".
