The "stone man" and tourists in Datang City, Xi 'an, the city that never sleeps, have become a daily game.

Hi ~ I'm a traveler's handwriting. This account insists on sharing the beautiful scenery around us, recommending special foods and telling positive energy stories around us-all efforts are made only to make the city we live in warmer!

Because of traveling, because of Xi 'an, because of the city that never sleeps in Datang, I made many friends who died because of this city, and Yang Yang, a stone man, was one of them.

Ma, the sculptor of the city that never sleeps in Tang Dynasty, used to call him a stone man. He arrives at his post at 5: 30 every afternoon and starts to make up, pack props and get dressed by himself ... He performs at 7: 00 p.m. on time, and performs until 1 1 every night, during which he can rest for half an hour (now it is 20 minutes).

Speaking of the performance art "Samurai Sculpture" played by Yang Yang, it is a samurai with a hammer on his upper body and a chisel in his left hand, wearing the armor of a military commander in the Tang Dynasty; The lower body is wrapped in stones. Samurai need to lift the hammer repeatedly, put it down slowly, and make the action of chiseling stones, as if to carve themselves from hard stones into angular and mighty people.

During the performance, he needs to be as firm and serious as a samurai, unmoved by the secular, and convey to tourists that "if you have a heart like a rock, you can persist in your struggle;" Self-carving can achieve self; Only by breaking the cage can you fulfill yourself.

Yang Yang, dressed in Tang costume, embodies the weather and demeanor of military commanders in the Tang Dynasty. His dress looks mighty and handsome to everyone, but you will understand that this armor is not easy to wear. In the process of his performance, he must always stand loose and stand tall and straight; At the same time, in order to play a good role, his face, neck and hands need to be coated with a thick layer of cement paint.

Especially in hot weather, ordinary people can't stand standing quietly for a while, but he has to put on heavy armor to perform. Every time he goes up, he will sweat all over, sometimes he won't wipe his eyes with sweat mixed with paint, and he won't blink (maybe he is afraid that the paint mixed with sweat will flow into his eyes) ... In my opinion, he should be afraid of losing his makeup and affecting the performance effect.

At first, because the performance was so realistic, tourists often regarded him as a sculpture. When chatting with him, he told me: "Some tourists don't know if I am a sculpture or a real person. Sometimes they pinch the handle of the hammer with their hands. At that time, the hammer was a prop made of foam. As soon as the tourists pinch it, they drop a piece. Finally, the handle became shorter and shorter, leaving only a handshake (in order to avoid similar situations and enhance the performance effect, the hammer and chisel in his hand have been replaced with pure iron).

The effort finally paid off. By chance, netizens photographed him because he was teased. Suddenly, his seriousness and joy reversed, making his samurai sculpture go off in an instant. From then on, netizens affectionately called him "Brother Stone" or "Yang Yang the Stone Man".

Since then, teasing and suppressing laughter has become a daily game for him and tourists. In order to make him laugh, tourists tell jokes, make faces and scratch their armpits ... all the tricks they can think of have gone into battle, but in order to control their emotions, he can only suppress his laughter every time ~ in his words, although I am ecstatic now, I have practiced to a level of inner peace. During this period, in order to cope with the challenge of tourists' "different tricks", he often needs to practice hard in front of the mirror without blinking (he can blink for more than 20 minutes at a time)

Because I know him well, I have many opportunities to chat with him. Over time, I also learned the connotation and significance of samurai sculpture from his mouth. Below I will share two stories that Yang Yang told me.

The first fable. Once upon a time, there was a hunter who could understand all kinds of animals, but only he knew what the animals said. If he tells anyone, he will become a stiff stone. One day, when the hunter was hunting, he heard a flock of birds saying: tonight, the earth will be flooded by landslides and cracks. I don't know how many people will die ... The hunter hurried home to tell the villagers that there would be a disaster at night and asked everyone to move to other places as soon as possible, but everyone was alive and well and unmoved. At this moment, the hunter was in tears, but everyone didn't believe him. In desperation, the hunter had to sacrifice himself, saying that he could understand the animals and told everyone exactly what the birds said ... After that, he turned into a stiff stone, and everyone quickly moved away when they saw this, and was saved ~ The hunter turned into a stone and sacrificed himself, but achieved everyone.

The second is a story from real life. There was a man who lived in a poor village. There is only one muddy path leading to the outside world, which is impassable when it rains heavily. In order to change this situation, a young man began to chisel stones to pave the road every day in his spare time ... after more than 20 years, he finally paved the road.

Both of the above stories are related to stones. One sacrificed himself to fulfill everyone, and the other changed everyone's situation through his own persistence. So in his view, as long as you insist on doing something that others think is boring but meaningful, everyone will eventually gain the future and themselves they want.

Now many tourists come from afar to Xi 'an, a city that never sleeps in Datang, to interact with Yang Yang and many performance art performers. Yang Yang admits that he is really happy to be liked by everyone, and at the same time puts forward his own suggestions for playing: Xi 'an, the ancient capital, has a long history, and there are many interesting stories behind many scenic spots. Before coming here, visitors can learn more about the moral stories about Xi 'an and the city that never sleeps in Datang, and learn more about the origin of history, culture and allusions.
