With the disappearance of the custom of communication between men and women and the introduction of other forms of culture and entertainment, the singing of Haicaiqiang gradually declined. At present, there are very few "Quzi masters" and "Quzi bosses" who can sing the whole set of Haicaiqiang (both are honorifics for famous singers), and there are few fans of Haicaiqiang among the younger generation. Its inheritance is facing a serious crisis and needs urgent protection.
The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, the Yi kelp cavity was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Culture is one of the foundations for the existence and development of a nation and a country. Strengthening comprehensive national strength calls for cultural prosperity and development, and building a harmonious culture is the spiritual guarantee for building a harmonious society. Because of the entertainment and mass participation of Haicai Opera, singers have performed in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai for many times, and their high-pitched and euphemistic tunes have won unanimous praise from experts at home and abroad.
Promoting national cultural undertakings requires a cultural perspective. The highest value of culture is not identity, but uniqueness. China's famous dance artist Yang li Ping's "Yunnan Image" and large-scale music painting "Flower Waist" all have a certain proportion of seaweed cavity. Haicaiqiang walked out of the mountains and Yunnan, and was called "the voice of nature" when he performed abroad. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people know how to sing Haicai. If you want to appreciate the charm of Haicaiqiang, you can watch "Yunnan Image" and perform it at yunnan art Theatre at 20: 00 every night. The Yi people's seaweed cavity in Yunnan Image is based on Huayao Yi people in Shiping County, Yunnan Province. The actors are all from our village, singing and dancing are very authentic. Yunnan people sang their hometown with their sweet songs, and at the same time proved to the world that Yunnan is a paradise for songs and one of the treasures of our national music. Therefore, in today's increasingly globalized ecological environment, people undertake the historical mission of cultural inheritance by adhering to the uniqueness of culture, thus adhering to their national spirit.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Only the national is the world." In order to let the world know the national culture of Honghe, the people of Honghe have been devoted to the excavation and development of national culture. Haicaiqiang, as a "bel canto" singing method in national culture, is not only the swan song of the Yi people, but also the inheritance of the original ecological song and dance. Nowadays, all the rural cultural stations in Yilong Town and Longpeng Town of Yilong Lake in Shiping County have singing groups of Haicai cavity, and the county also holds ethnic and folk "Haicai cavity cigarette box dance" competition every year, which greatly improves the protection of this intangible cultural heritage. People have realized the precious value of local national culture, and protecting and carrying forward the inheritance has become the primary task.
"Five steps and three scholars, two Hanlin pass the door, and people walk the streets and lanes, and scholars are everywhere." This is a true portrayal of scholars in Shiping County in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Rich cultural heritage, beautiful natural scenery and unique resources have created the seaweed cavity of Shiping Yi people, which is called the voice of nature. As a member of Yi culture, Haicaiqiang has been passed down for hundreds of years, and was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list in June last year. This shows the value and position of Hailai tune in the treasure house of Chinese culture.
In short, as the crystallization of the collision and blending of Yi and Han cultures, Haicai Opera has shown its unique personality and mature beauty, and has become a higher-level national folk music art. We should combine the protection of traditional cultural resources with contemporary re-creation, make it full of vitality through innovation, create works full of the flavor of the times, and truly protect and develop Haicai Opera. We sincerely hope that this amazing sound of nature-Haicaiqiang can continue to be passed down and become a wonderful flower of world culture.
