Elbow Pavilion

Elbow Pavilion is a comprehensive form of folk art activities, which integrates modeling, color binding, acrobatics and drama art, and melts poetry and painting in one furnace. Because people carry the performance, it is called lifting the pavilion.

Taige appeared in the county seat in the late Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. It evolved on the basis of elbow. Popular in the county seat and Zhengyangguan area. Generally, performances are only performed at large lantern festivals and temple fairs.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the shelf was made of bamboo. People are divided into two types according to the size of the pavilion: big shelf and small shelf. They are all rectangular. The method of making a large shelf and a small shelf is the same. Eight bamboo with a diameter of 12 cm are tied to make a three-dimensional rectangular base, which is 6 cm long, 2 cm wide and 7 cm high. On this base, four thin bamboos are tied to form a chassis, and rockeries, temples, pavilions, towers, trees, flowers and plants are tied to the chassis with bamboo and reed springs. After tying it, paste it with colored paper, then decorate it with colored paintings, and then install candles and lanterns. After the chassis is pasted, according to the scene, story and the number of characters on the pavilion, the elbow pavilion is installed, and the characters sit on the core and wear costumes to make various shapes and movements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for the sake of safety, the pedestal of the pavilion was replaced by a wooden pedestal, and the elbow shelf was fixed with screws. Everything else was the same as before.

Each stage needs 8-16 people to carry the performance. The performers dressed in colorful clothes walk slowly with the accompaniment of music. The little actors on the stage make different shapes and movements according to their different characters and plots. The pavilion is followed by a percussion class, where sheng, Xiao, flute and pipe play all kinds of music. Most of the performances above the pavilion are historical stories and myths and legends, such as "Golden Light" designed according to the section of "Romance of the Gods": The Virgin of Golden Light stands on the top of the mountain, holding a flower pole with lanterns in her hand, and the lotus lamp is inlaid with a mirror. The lights are reflected in the mirror, and the golden light is dazzling, and the pavilions, towers and temples on the mountain are filled with fairy tales, and the pines and cypresses below the mountain make the audience relaxed. Its representative programs include: Golden Light, Water Manjin Mountain, The Journey to the West, The West Chamber, Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, The Flame Mountain, Guanyin Songzi, Burning Mianshan Mountain, Burning Gourd Valley, etc.

Elbow Pavilion is another unique form of folk lantern festival in this county. Lamps and lanterns are mainly made of steel punched male core and female core (mortise and tenon), and their pillars are bent like elbows, which are divided into three types: one, two and three sheds. One person carries the performance to make the lamps and lanterns soar in the air, which is called elbow pavilion.

during Guangxu period, there was elbow pavilion activity in Shouxian county, which was very popular in the county seat and Zhengyangguan area in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. According to the old man's recollection, there were as many as 6 cubits in temple fairs in the 2 years of the Republic of China. At this time, people also developed similar forms such as lifting the pavilion and piercing the heart pavilion on the basis of elbow pavilion. Because playing with lanterns such as Elbow Pavilion (including lifting the pavilion and piercing the heart pavilion) costs a lot, such activities were only held on major festivals after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and such lanterns were regarded as "four old" and prohibited during the Cultural Revolution. After 1976, with the recovery of traditional folk literature and art, Elbow Pavilion was reborn and took to the streets again. When celebrating the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were eight cubits in Zhengyangguan, which made people feast their eyes.

The elbow cabinet frame is forged from steel, which is composed of an iron collar, a pulley handle, a holding core, a hanging core and a sitting core. The elbow cabinet is divided into two types: big shelf and small shelf. The big shelf consists of three sheds (iron collar, pulley handle, core holding, core pulling and core sitting _; The small shelf consists of one shed or two sheds (iron collar, pulley handle, core holding and core sitting). Those who push the elbow pavilion carry an iron collar coat, which is fitted with a pulley handle, and then various cores are fitted on the pulley handle, thus forming an elbow pavilion shelf. The shelf of the elbow pavilion looks like a peach tree with red flowers and green leaves tied on it.

The performance of Elbow Pavilion is very difficult. Elbow cabinets should be strong and strong, and they should be able to grasp the center of gravity and balance of force. Actors who perform on the elbow shelf should be young and light, otherwise those who are under too much pressure can't stand it. During the performance, each elbow pavilion is generally composed of 8-1 people. There are two people pushing the elbow pavilion (one for each person and one for replacement). There are no more than four small actors on the elbow pavilion frame, and the rest of them follow around the elbow pavilion with wooden forks in hand, in case of any accident to the actors. The actors on the elbow shelf are all four or five-year-old children. They are dressed in drama and play all kinds of characters in hydrocarbon dramas. The little actors are standing, leaning back or lying on the elbow shelf, but actually sitting on the core or binding it with cloth tape, and then installing a prosthetic leg and hand. The prosthetic leg and hand swing freely with the progress, which is very realistic. On the elbow shelf, the actors make various kinds according to different plots. Two little actors on the elbow pavilion in the second shed play the fisherman and the fisherman's daughter respectively, which is called "fishing and killing the family"; On the elbow pavilion in Sanpeng, the actors played green snake, white snake and Xu Xian at different heights, posing as a "broken bridge meeting". The programs that are often performed in the cubicles of sheds include "Beating Cherry", "Empress Shui Bo Shocked the Four Seas", "the Monkey King", "Fishing to Kill the Family", "Crossfire", "Broken Bridge", "Monkey Beating the Leopard", "Waiting for the West Chamber of the Moon", "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions".

Elbow Pavilion is a unique folk art form, which integrates historical stories, myths and legends, and integrates drama, acrobatics, dance and colorful art into one furnace. It can be described as a wonderful flower in Shouxian folk art garden.
