In Yongkang, there is an old saying that "Eighty Anshi, Eight Hundreds of Answer, is worse than craftsmanship". One skill is close to the body, both do things, but also fruit. Yongkang Drum Words and Yongkang Nail are the ancient traditional song arts and skills of Yongkang. At first, it was the means of making a living of ordinary people.

In the last century, most of the Yongkang people grew up listening to the singing of the drums and the sip of the scales. Every morning, before opening the door, there was a sip of the nail scales from the far alley: "Nailing, nailing the scale to repair the scale-" In the evening, everyone had dinner and came to the village entrance to the old village. Under the tree, listening to the drum artist sang the story: "There is a round lack of the moon in the sky, the pond lotus leaves are high and low ..." After the hustle and bustle of the day, it was the most rural sound.

Yongkang Drum Words and Yongkang Nail have come from time to time, spreading for thousands of years, and have been engraved with historical marks. They used to be brilliant, but gradually moved towards the micro. Today, in the hands of "guarding" artists, they gradually "live" again.

"Ancient Liu Zhaojiazhuang, negative drum -blind Weng Zhengzheng." This is the drum performance scene described by Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, and "negative drum -blind Weng" is a true portrayal of the drum artist at the time. In the old days, most of the drum artists were blind, and the performance props were a drum basin, a drum, and a pair of bamboo Jixu. They sang drum words in exchange for food and singing.

Yongkang Drum Words are commonly known as "singing things" or "singing business", and they are born in the drums of the south of the Song Dynasty. In 2011, Yongkang Drum Word was selected as the third batch of national non -heritage representative project lists.

Unlike drama, Yongkang's drums are a play. There is no need for a specific stage, no restrictions on the venue, and can be sung anytime, anywhere. The chanting is rich, the performance is frustrated, and the drums are relaxed. Most of the subjects of singing this is to eliminate such as violence, righteousness, love of men and women, and enjoyment, etc., focusing on teaching.

Singing with Yongkang dialect is the most distinctive local characteristics of Yongkang Drum Word. Yongkang proverb and saying will also appear in the singing. Therefore, Yongkang Drum Words are the unique types of music in Jinhua.

Tong Yueming is a new generation of Yongkang Drum Word. He grew up listening to Yongkang's drums. "It is said that Wu Nong is soft, Yongkang's dialect is not soft but hard, not very good, but Yongkang drum words sung with Yongkang dialect are very nice." Then, Tong Yueming performed a paragraph to reporters on the scene. The "big beads and small beads fall into the jade plate", which is not like the pipa sound. When performing, the drums and the sound of bamboo boards are intertwined with each other, the rhythm is clear, and the singing sounds are graceful and melodious. Although outsiders are not easy to understand what they sing, there are stories pictures in their minds.

Yongkang drum words are nice. Tong Yueming said that this is where its charm is. When he was a child, he didn't feel anything. When he grew up, he knew it was a rural sound and nostalgia.

During the Qing Dynasty, Yongkang's drums were very popular, and after liberation, it was still the main entertainment method of people after meals. Tong Yueming remembers the scene of drums in the village when he was a child. "Drum artists sit on the slate side of the road, the drums rang, the bamboo board knocked, and as soon as the sound came out, the villagers came out of the house with a bamboo chair and bench, sat around and listened together. A few nights. "

This scene is difficult to see now. With the diversification of entertainment methods, the drums gradually lost the market. In recent decades, the number of drum artists has also decreased sharply, and the overall development has shrunk. In the 1950s, there were still more than a hundred old artists. In the 1980s, there were only more than 60 people left. Since the 21st century, less than 20 people have entered the 21st century.

A wooden scale goes to the world

Like Yongkang Drum Words, the traditional skill of Yongkang Nailing has a long history.

Yongkang has the reputation of "hometown of weighing instruments". According to relevant information, Yongkang Nail Scale began in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Yongkang balance device market, which is mainly based on wooden rod scale transactions, once reached Dingfeng, which was the largest balance instrument trading market in the country at that time. In 2009, the production technology of Yongkang Nail scale was included in the third batch of provincial non -heritage representative project lists.

The 73 -year -old Zhu Ziyan was a provincial representative inheritor of Yongkang Nail Scale. From the age of 14, he began to follow his father to learn the scales. At that time At that time, the wooden rod scale was an indispensable thing in life, so nailing scales were a very "fragrant" craft. "The sun is cracked, and the hunger is hungry." The old saying that the Yongkang people often say is that no matter when, people who will nail the scale have food, which is hungry.

"For our Yongkang people, nailing the scale is the ancestral industry. When it was prosperous, tens of thousands of people were engaged in nailing scales and ran around all over the country." Zhu Ziyan said that a wooden rod scale supported an industry at that time, in Gushan Town, Yongkang. The area of ​​Jinjiang Long Village and Langtang Village, many people make a living with a weighing device accessories.

Zhu Ziyan told reporters that nailing the scale is a fine work, because it is hand -made, which is very tested that the machine cannot be replaced by the machine. Maybe the people may see that the scale, but behind it is the countless day and night's efforts. To make a wooden rod scale, you need to go through more than a dozen main processes such as materials selection, planing scales, drawing lines, positioning, positioning, Baotou, setting up a knife, calibration, drilling scales, nailing stars, polishing, upper light, assembly, etc. Essence

A scale, paying attention to "careless". Zhu Ziyan said that the wooden rod scale is not only a weighing tool, but also a benchmark for Chinese traditional moral culture. For the nail scales, the fairness of the scale is in the heart, "there is a bar scale between the heavens and the earth", which is the professional ethics of the nail scale. To put it plainly, doing a scale is also a conscience. After doing most of his life scales, Zhu Ziyan has always asked himself: "To do the best, make each shot of the highest standard."

I don't know when, the wooden rod scale gradually faded out of the balance of the balance, replaced by the electronic scale. In addition, the nail scale is a hand -to -door work, which is time -consuming, laborious and difficult, and fewer and fewer people engaged in manual nail scale. "Now only a dozen people will nail a scale. They are older. Most young people are unwilling to learn. They can't make any money to make ordinary wooden rods." Zhu Ziyan said.

Non -heritage "live" technique to pass on

From the glory to the micro -style Yongkang drum word and Yongkang nail scale, in the hands of "guarding" artists, now they gradually "live".

In recent years, Yongkang City has adopted a series of protection measures for Yongkang Drum Words. Since 2014, the Yongkang Cultural Heritage Protection Center has organized an old artist to record their singing by video and audio, and organize the publishing of the classic singing books. At the same time, the drum -passing class is carried out every year, and a number of new heirns of Yongkang Drum Words who have culture, creation, and rap can be cultivated.

Tong Yueming has loved local culture since he was a child, and has extremely love for Yongkang Drum Words. When he grows up, he firmly chooses to inherit this ancient music. No matter where he goes, he always takes performance props and costumes with him. There are two sentences on the bags of the west, "Drum Rhyme sounds Lizhou, and he smells the nostalgic nostalgia." He said that no matter where he performed, everyone knew that he sang Yongkang Drum.

Now, Yongkang drums also entered the campus. Tong Yueming himself was a professor of Yongkang Drum under the Primary School under the bridge of Longshan Town. What was pleased was that many children were very interested in Yongkang Drum Words.

Under the inheritance of the new generation of Yongkang Drum Words of Tong Yueming, Yongkang Drum Word was given a new connotation. Based on the current reality, they created various new theme works, singing in the folk through the form of sending culture to the countryside. "The new generation of Yongkang Drum Words now have more than 30 people. I hope that with the efforts of our generation, let Yongkang drum words be passed on."

Similarly, Zhu Ziyan is constantly looking for new ways for old skills. In his studio, there are various sizes of scales, including a "China First Scale" with a length of 3.48 meters and a weighing more than 30 kilograms. title. This is also his bold innovation and attempt for Yongkang's nail scale.

"You must innovate, otherwise no matter how good the skills are inherited." Since then, Zhu Ziyan has begun to develop wooden rods in the direction of crafts. Now the wooden rod scales he make are both large scales and micro -scale. Most of the scale rods are rosewood materials. The scale flowers are used for thousands of gold. More collection value.

Affected by his father, Zhu Ziyan's son Zhu Hailang also joined the inheritance team of Yongkang Nail. The father and son started from the scale culture, and tapped the artistic value and cultural heritage of the wooden rod scale. It applied the original ordinary wooden rod scale to different occasions such as modern business, marriage, and new houses.

"The meaning of the scale is very beautiful. In the customs, especially the marriage customs, the scale has a special application, which means that the meaning is good." Zhu Ziyan said that according to the cultural connotation of the scale, they have developed a variety of products, such as the Chinese dragon scale, Ruyi Scale, Chinese scale painting, etc. Among them, the Chinese scales are combined with embroidery non -heritage art and calligraphy art. It is a combination of hand -made wooden rods and Chinese painting art, which is very popular in the market.

In the new era, Yongkang Drum Words and Yongkang Nail have more characteristics of the times, especially the culture of clean government. People sing integrity with Yongkang Drum Words and Yongkang Nails.

It is precisely because of the constant hard work and innovation of the "guarding" artist that Yongkang Drum Words and Yongkang Nail have come from the people, and now they return to the people.
