Changshan Battle Drum: Ancient Skills Entered the Campus for Thousands of Years

Wonderful playback: In the shocking sound of Changshan war drums, the "China Hebei Chapter in Intangible Cultural Heritage" kicked off. Zhang Shushe, the national representative successor of Changshan war drums, and young drummers beat the war drums together. In addition, Zhang Shushe revealed the signals represented by different drumbeats on the battlefield on the spot, and taught everyone how to read the same drumbeats as the Heavenly Book.

Zhang Shushe, the national representative inheritor of Changshan Battle Drum: I am very excited to introduce Changshan Battle Drum to CCTV in front of the national audience. Changshan War Drum has a history of more than 2000 years. Shijiazhuang Zhengding was the location of Changshan County in history. Zhao Zilong, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, used his hometown's war drum to the battlefield when he sent troops to fight. He beat drums to help the army and boost morale. He always led soldiers to defeat the enemy and win, so he was called the ever victorious general. Therefore, Changshan War Drum got its name. In recent years, with the development of the activity of "Intangible Cultural Heritage on Campus", many local primary and secondary schools in Zhengding have become the inheritance base of Changshan Battle Drum. At the same time, Changshan Battle Drum has also entered Hebei Normal University, Hebei University of Science and Technology and other university campuses. The millennium intangible cultural heritage has not only been inherited, but also has been developing in a healthy and innovative way. I am 69 years old this year. As a successor, I am pleased to see more and more people learning and liking Changshan war drums.

Audience comment (Mr. Liu, a teacher from Shijiazhuang University): I saw the Changshan battle drum in Shijiazhuang Zhengding on CCTV's comprehensive channel "China Hebei in Intangible Cultural Heritage". As a Shijiazhuang person, I am very proud of it. I hope that more excellent traditional culture of Shijiazhuang will be spread through CCTV and other platforms in the future, so that the world will know about Shijiazhuang.

Zanhuang Yuancun Native Cloth Textile Technology: Stepping onto the International Fashion Stage

Highlights: The inheritor Cui Xueqin sat in front of the loom and demonstrated the homespun textile technology. From traditional cloth shoes to fashionable dresses, the provincial intangible cultural heritage project Zanhuangyuan Village homespun textile technology not only stepped onto the international fashion stage from the countryside, but also became a model for the revitalization of the local countryside.

Cui Xueqin, the provincial representative inheritor of the native textile technology of Zanhuang Village: I am the third generation inheritor of the native textile technology of the original village. Zanhuang County has a long history. The original village native textile technology is a pure manual traditional technology that uses spinning wheels, looms and other tools to make cotton cloth. The native cloth of Zanhuangyuan Village is made of local high-quality long staple cotton through 72 processes, including ginning, marbling, spinning, threading, sizing, dyeing, bolting, weaving, shrinking, etc. The production process is all manual production, without any power machinery and energy, environmental protection and pollution. Today, there are more than 1300 "weavers" of native cloth in Zanhuangyuan Village, with an average age of 58 years old, becoming a local fortune making industry. Yuancun homespun has won many honors, also participated in Milan Fashion Week, and stepped on the international fashion stage. It is favored by international friends. We believe that the national is the world's, and Yuancun homespun has a promising future.

Audience comments (Ms. Fan, private business owner of Shijiazhuang City): My hometown is in Zhangshiyan Town, Zanhuang County. In my childhood memory, my family has no other income except farming. Today, Zanhuang County not only has provincial-level intangible cultural heritage projects such as the original village homespun textile technology to drive villagers to become rich, but also has developed and built ecological picking parks, tourist homestays, etc., hoping that the thousand year old Zanhuang County will become more and more beautiful and people's lives will become more and more happy.

Guo's iron plate relief: a thousand hammers and a hundred times of refining make "the painting on the iron plate"

Wonderful playback: "Tink, tink, dangle." With the crisp sound of knocking from far to near, many lifelike reliefs of Guo's iron plate were presented to the audience. Guo Haibo and Guo Mohan, provincial representative inheritors of Guo's iron plate reliefs, introduced the production process of iron plate reliefs to the host and audience.

Guo Haibo, the provincial representative inheritor of Guo's iron plate reliefs: The iron plate reliefs art is a kind of sculpture art created directly on raw and cold iron plates by means of hand hammering. Through polishing, color burning and other means, it shows a special texture, which has an independent beauty unmatched by other materials, and is called "the ink on the iron plate". The iron plate reliefs need the author to polish carefully in the long process of creation. After repeated tempering, the vivid iron plate reliefs let us feel the unique charm of the traditional cultural production process. Welcome to Guo Haibo's studio, located in Wanlimiao Pedestrian Street, Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City, to enjoy the art of iron plate relief, understand and experience the production skills.

Audience comments (Mr. Li, the media person): I interviewed Mr. Guo Haibo many years ago. When I saw him making iron plate reliefs in his studio, I touched the iron plate. The iron plate is thick and hard. Hammering one hammer at a time on it to forge reliefs requires not only excellent hand power and extraordinary endurance, but also vivid patterns, In Mr. Guo's case, I saw the earnest and persistent ingenuity of Chinese arts and crafts masters in art.

Jingxing Wood Carving: Carving exquisite products from withered roots and decayed branches of Taihang Mountain

Wonderful playback: In the warm-up program "Intangible Cultural Heritage is young, Hebei Chapter" before the broadcast of "China Hebei Chapter in Intangible Cultural Heritage", exquisite pieces of Jingxing wood carvings were presented to the audience. Xu Hongyang, a provincial representative inheritor of Jingxing wood carvings, explained the production skills and the difficulties behind learning them on the spot.

Xu Hongyang, the provincial representative inheritor of Jingxing Wood Carving: I am particularly happy to let audiences across the country know and understand Jingxing Wood Carving through CCTV. Jingxing wood carving technique began in the Tang Dynasty, and has been passed down to me for the 13th generation. Jingxing wood carvings use the dead roots and decayed branches of Taihang Mountain to draw materials locally. Most of them are made of cliff cypresses. Each piece of work is unique and cannot be copied. Carving requires a solid foundation of art. The production process is mainly divided into five steps: artistic conception, drawing, shaping and shaping, detail polishing, and polishing. "Carving with one knife, chiseling with one knife, cutting along the line, and connecting the line and surface" is a family secret that has been passed down for hundreds of years. On the basis of inheriting traditional wood carving skills, I combine traditional culture with modern needs to develop some practical cultural and creative products in life.

Audience comments (Mr. Tong, a wood carving art lover): I like wood carving very much, and I also visited Xu's Wood Carving Art Museum. When visiting the Taihang Mountains in the west of Shijiazhuang, I occasionally found dead roots and decayed trees, which I would carve and polish according to their appearance. Through Jingxing wood carvings, we hope that more people can understand Jingxing and travel to Jingxing County, where there are not only ancient intangible cultural heritage, but also beautiful landscapes such as Taihang Tianlu, ancient villages and Cangyan Mountain.

Jingxing Lahua: The scenic spot has built a "tourism+intangible cultural heritage" model

Wonderful playback: In Taihang Water Town, Yixian County, Baoding, the shooting place of "China Hebei in Intangible Cultural Heritage", the lights are bright at night, reflecting the small bridges and flowing water, and the Jingxing Lahua performance team twists and turns, integrating with the beautiful scenery.

Jingxing Lahua, a national intangible cultural heritage project: Jingxing Lahua is a unique northern yangko, which originated in the Song and Yuan dynasties and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists in 2006. Jingxing Lahua originated from the street square flower fair during folk festivals, temple fairs, celebrations and worship of gods. The traditional Jingxing Lahua has its distinctive artistic features. The main dance vocabulary is "shoulder twisting", "wrist turning", "arm twisting", "leg sucking", and "foot skimming", forming a unique artistic style of combining hardness with softness, rough and implicit. Its dancing posture is healthy, well stretched, well bent and well stretched, and it is good at expressing solemn and stirring, sad, sentimental, joyful and other emotions. The number of performers varies. Lacquered props have rich connotations, each with its own symbolic meaning, such as umbrellas symbolizing good weather.

Audience comments (Xiao Zeng, a staff member of Jingxing County Scenic Area): I grew up watching Jingxing Lahua. When I was a child, there were Jingxing Lahua performances in the village and county, as well as various social fire performances. Now many scenic spots in Jingxing County have introduced intangible cultural heritage performances to create a "tourism+intangible cultural heritage" model, and more and more tourists like the traditional intangible cultural heritage culture.
