Folk Art in Bomei Town

Bomei Piao Se Bomei Piao Se is commonly known as Bomei Beauty. According to textual research, it was introduced from Suzhou in the thirty-third year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1768). It has a history of 240 years. At that time, when Lin Guangshen, a famous Bomei businessman, was engaged in the wholesale business of brown sugar in Suzhou, it coincided with a local festival and held a cultural parade. He was deeply impressed by his vivid and exquisite makeup and beautiful floating color performance. Then I hired local artists as teachers, bought back eight sets of floating color props, and hired famous artists to teach the creation of floating color art and makeup artist in Bomei. Since then, Bomei Piaose has held Piaose performances on traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and March 23rd, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and have been continuously improved, innovated and developed.

The characteristics of Bomei's floating color are: it can be divided into two parts: top pile and bottom pile. Each floating color is 450 cm-500 cm high, and a landscape bed with a length of 250 cm, a width of 120 cm and a height of 80 cm is used as a small stage. The figure standing on the table is called "screen", also called "bottom pile", and the figure of historical hero falling from the sky is called "gone with the wind", also called top pile. The two are made of a special forged steel bar with different specifications and shapes, which are connected into an organic whole to show the characteristics of floating colors and highlight the patriotic spirit of historical heroes. Bomei has only five floating colors. In the past, every floating color needed eight people to carry it for cruising. Now, it only needs four people to push the paddle wheel to go out for a cruise. Piaose must strictly select boys and girls aged 8- 18 as actors, and each Piaose needs 3-5.

Bomei Piao Se embodies the artistic talent and painstaking efforts of folk artists for more than 200 years. The advantages of floating color are generous modeling, stress on mechanics, exquisite makeup skills, gorgeous clothes, beautiful manners and implicit content. Piaose was accompanied by orthographic eight-tone paizi and gongs and drums during the parade, forming a combination of "sound, color and art" The flowing three-dimensional performance stage embodies the essence and artistic wonders of floating color folk art, which makes the audience confused. I can't recognize the skill of makeup, leaving the audience with a beautiful feeling of natural landscape, and it's fun to associate with it. The content of the performance of "Gone with the Wind" by Bomei is based on the heroes in local operas and the stories in myths and legends, all of which praise the patriotic spirit of heroes to eliminate violence and serve the country faithfully. Its historical segments include dozens of historical programs, such as Golden Hill Drum Battle, Three Passes, Mu, Battle of the Wars, Double Bai Yan, Pisces, Ermei, True and False Xu, Three Burning for the Emperor and Li Jingji.

Bomei Piao Se integrates historical culture and aesthetic art, has unique artistic forms and performance skills, and promotes the patriotic spirit of historical heroes. Floating color is an indispensable art project in local folk cultural activities in Bomei Town. It has become a popular folk culture and art, showing Bomei people's good cultural quality foundation and spiritual outlook. He has participated in many local celebrations in cities and counties, as well as scenic spots such as Xuanwu Mountain and Huashan Mountain in Nanshan, which have won unanimous praise from the audience and his popularity has been expanding, which will spread the youth of Bomei's floating art far and wide at home and abroad.
