What are the four beams and four columns of the Northeast Erren Zhuan?

Errenzhuan: Historically, it was called Xiaoyangge, Bijueyi and Jumping, also known as Koukou, Bijuqu, Liu Feng, Haruka, Banban Opera and Northeast Local Opera. Errenzhuan belongs to the folk art of singing while walking, which is popular in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces and Sanmeng and one city in eastern Inner Mongolia.

The name Errenzhuan first appeared in the seventh edition of Taitung Daily on April 27th, the second year of the Puppet Manchukuo (1934). "... a teahouse on Mishima Street in this city (Acheng). Recently, I was either invited by a township to play a duet, and several people were together, or danced in the countryside, euphemistically called' Lotus Falls', dressing up various roles every day.

1953 In April, at the first national folk music and dance conference held in Beijing, the duet program of the Northeast delegation officially participated in the performance, thus the name of duet was recognized by the national literary and art circles for the first time, and it became louder and louder.

source and course

On the basis of the original Northeast Yangko and northeast folk, the duet was formed by absorbing various artistic forms such as Lotus Drop, Northeast Drum, Taiping Drum, Bawangbian, Hebei Bangzi, donkey shadow play and folk jokes. Therefore, Errenzhuan's musical singing is extremely rich, and it is known as "nine tones and eighteen tones, seventy-two joys". These include Hu Hu tune, small number plate, red willow, executive board, three-section board, Wen Xixi, Wu Xixi, big drum tune, big rescue, small rollover, crying millet, big sad tune, five-word brocade, pressure bass sound, pull back tune and so on.

In fact, the origin of the Northeast Errenzhuan is very unique. In the past, the northeast was mainly inhabited by some ethnic minorities, such as the Khitan nationality and the Jurchen nationality. However, with the great immigration since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many people from Shandong, Hebei, Henan and Shanxi broke into Kanto and entered the Northeast. The Central Plains culture and minority cultures naturally collide, thus forming this unique cultural form. Therefore, it can also be said that the duet is a very pure folk art, which was created by the working people in Northeast China.

There are many traditional songs of Errenzhuan, with more than 300 songs. Artists have the saying of "four beams and four pillars". "Four beams" refers to four sets of music, including steel guide, Qing method, Yunyang tower and iron pipe map. "Four pillars" refers to four sets of music: West Chamber, Dangqiao, Ghost Array and Li Cuilian Knife.

Errenzhuan has a strong funny element and is good at comedy, which can make your stomach laugh until it hurts from beginning to end. It's clown art. There is no "fate" in the duet, only "Dan" and "ugly", and seven points are ugly and three points are ugly. Although there is also a tragedy in the joke of Northeast Errenzhuan, it will make people cry, but it will make you laugh in the end. This is the purpose of duets: to amuse! There is a folk saying that "it is better to give up a meal than to give up the two-person turn", which shows the profound influence of the two-person turn among the masses. It can be said that the duet can best reflect the pursuit of artistic beauty by the working people in Northeast China.

It has been nearly 300 years since the initial creation, and the relationship between artists and teachers can be traced back to the last years of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty.

Errenzhuan has formed four schools in history: East, West, South and North.

East Road, with Jilin as the focus, has rich and colorful dance and martial arts elements.

The west road is mainly in Heishan County, Liaoning Province, and is influenced by the lotus drop in Hebei Province, so we pay attention to Bantou.

South Road takes Yingkou City, Liaoning Province as the focus, which is greatly influenced by yangko and pays equal attention to singing and dancing.

North Road focuses on the Great Northern Wilderness in Heilongjiang Province, which is influenced by local folk songs and sings very well.

There used to be a proverb that "the south depends on waves, the north depends on singing, and the west depends on bantou, and the university is big." Later, various schools learned from each other and got along well, forming today's duet.
