Attraction introduction
Quanzhou Marionette Show is located in Wudianshi, an AAAA-level Attraction. Wudianshi has a thousand-year history and is the origin of Jinjiang City. The red brick buildings with southern Fujian characteristics span the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods. Wudianshi has produced 11 champions in history. During the Wanli period, Zhuang Jichang was the champion of the same subject as Yuan Chonghuan. The champion Wang Zeng, a descendant of the King of Fujian who lived in Quanzhou for generations, won three consecutive championships (first place in the first, provincial and palace examinations). It has also produced more than 1,400 Jinshi scholars, making it an outstanding representative of southern Fujian's humanities, history, art, architecture and customs.
As the treasure of southern Fujian art, puppetry has not only become an indispensable part of the folk customs of Quanzhou and the entire southern Fujian region for thousands of years, but also has become a popular opera art that is appreciated by the general public and even scholars and literati with its unique skills and wonderful performances.
Introduction to Quanzhou Marionette Show
Quanzhou string puppetry, also known as suspended puppetry in ancient times, originated from the Qin and Han dynasties. According to historical records, it was already popular in Quanzhou and Souvenir areas at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties at the latest. It has been passed down through the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasties and even today.
The traditional repertoire of Quanzhou string puppetry preserves a large number of folk beliefs and customs of weddings, funerals, and celebrations in the ancient Minnan dialect area. It preserves a large number of grammars, vocabulary, and ancient pronunciations of the "ancient Heluo language" and Minnan dialect. It preserves many precious materials on the repertoires, music, and performance forms of Southern Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and has multidisciplinary research value. For thousands of years, Quanzhou string puppetry has not only coexisted with the life customs of birth, aging, illness, and death of the people in the Minnan dialect area.
On May 20, 2006, puppet show (Quanzhou Marionette Show) was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Heritage number: IV-92.
In December 2012, the "Fujian Puppet Show Talent Training Program", including Quanzhou String Puppet Show, was successfully selected into the List of Outstanding Practices of the World's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
History of Quanzhou Marionette Show
Early stage
It is said that when Wang Shenzhi came to Fujian and proclaimed himself king in present-day Fuzhou at the end of the Tang Dynasty, he built a large palace and hired many famous scholars and students from Zhongzhou. They brought puppet shows and placed them in the palace for entertainment. Puppet shows were then introduced to Quanzhou, so the dialogues of "Jia Li Opera" have a Zhongzhou accent.
By the Song Dynasty, "Jiali Opera" had been widely spread among the people of Quanzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhou puppetry was further combined with folk rituals and developed greatly. Li Tingji of Quanzhou in the Ming Dynasty once wrote a couplet for puppetry: "Driving thousands of miles away in an instant, the affairs of the past and present are completed in one night." It can be seen that the puppetry at that time was rich in content and wide in subject matter, and had the ability to express thousands of miles and encompass the past and present.
Mid-term
During the reigns of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, Quanzhou's "Jiali" opera had become very mature, breaking away from the "puppet show" form of fragmentary and acrobatic performances and forming a standardized script system, which could perform large-scale and complex historical dramas. Although there are only 36 fixed characters, the roles are divided into four categories: Sheng, Dan, Bei, and Za, and 42 major dramas can be performed. For example, the traditional continuous script "Mulian Saves His Mother" can be performed for seven days and seven nights.
Later
In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, there were more than 50 puppet troupes in Quanzhou, covering the urban and rural areas. The "four major temples" in Quanzhou, including Dongyue Temple, Guandi Temple, Yuanmiao Temple, and Chenghuang Temple, all had fixed troupes to perform for praying to the gods. Lin Chengchi, known as the "talented scholar of Jiali", once created "Shuo Yue" and "Water Margin" and other serial plays with the literati Yang Xiumei, thus taking puppetry out of the circle that only serves weddings and funerals. Lin Chengchi, Lian Tianzhang and others also created and improved many performing arts techniques, such as drawing swords, inserting swords, playing with snakes, umbrella dance, weaving, playing with cymbals, etc., which greatly enriched the performing arts of string puppetry.

花过鱼

Many people say that Jinjiang Wudian City and Yulin traditional villages are very similar, the two can choose one, but I don&#39;t think so, the style difference between these two places is quite big. First of all, in terms of scale, compared with the hundreds of acres of Yulin, Wudian City is small and exquisite. One is a village and the other is a block. There are completely two concepts. The buildings in Wudian City are very compact and can hardly feel the atmosphere of life. It is more like a hard move. The &quot;emergency collection&quot; of a group of red brick buildings is Wudian City. Second, the feeling, or positioning is different, Yulin is more primitive and simple, Wudian City is a strong commercial atmosphere in Yulin, the highest proportion of shops is photography, changing clothes, and Wudian City&#39;s dining, light dining is the most, suitable for shopping leisure rather than enjoying the century-old Nanyang architecture. Most of the buildings in Wudian City are newly built, but she is not antique, and like Yulin, she is walking the same track as the modern southern wind, Nanyang wind, a red brick building in a water, and other antique commercial streets. From the south to the north, from the east to the west is not far away, it is estimated that you can walk in more than 20 minutes. However, you can&#39;t stand tourists like weaving! There are many tourists, the place is small, and the main roads are full of people. You must ask for a number in advance to catch up with the meal, because the iron will have to line up. Although the buildings are mostly newly repaired, but when there are few people, they also make films. It is OK to shoot a scorpion and a little Niangya, but it is only possible. After all, the best background for shooting scorpion is in 𫊻 Pu, and it is best to shoot scorpion in Yulin. This is not the year of the snake in 2025. There are several Q versions of giant snakes in Wudian City that are quite suitable for the scene, distributed in the block and waiting for visitors to punch in. There are also real ancient buildings such as Doctor Di and Shangshufu, and handicrafts and root carving exhibitions can be visited. Finally, let&rsquo;s talk about the service package. Wudian City is still free to visit. Don&rsquo;t worry about bringing your luggage. After going to the place, go straight to the service center on the northmost side of the block. You can store your luggage for free (Yulin storage costs money, 5 yuan two pieces) and pick up hot water. Very nice. It is more difficult to take a taxi. Whether it is the north or east of Wudian City, it will be blocked in the peak season. We walked along the crossroads in the southeast corner of Wudian City for a good time to get to a convenient place to get on and off. Get on the bus and leave. Next stop: 𫊻 Pucun

Wulin Traditional Village

Historic buildings

Quanzhou has been famous for sea transportation since ancient times, and it is one of the most famous ports of commerce since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In terms of things, there is no interoperability with overseas places; in terms of people, there have been a large number of people breaking out for hundreds of years, going to Nanyang! For a long time, naturally there will be people who are developed outside Quanzhou Province, and the so-called Yijin does not return to the countryside such as Jinyi Night, there is this famous Nanyang Overseas Chinese Village Yulin traditional village. Yulin is located at the junction of Jinjiang ＆ Shishi, south of Quanzhou City. It covers an area of more than 600 mu. The village is distributed with dozens of 100-year-old buildings, such as Gothic, Roman, southern Fujian official-style buildings, Chinese and Western houses, etc., which can be called a 100-year-old architectural museum. It is a rare Nanyang style building complex in China. Walking in the village, all styles of houses are scaled up, obviously very different from each other, but they are not lost in harmony. In this, the Nanyang wind combines the southern Anhui Daxuan house with the mainstream, and the red bricks are comfortable. Although the official recommended different tour routes, such as the Italian Nanyang route that will pass through the East Building, the five-story Shanghai, the Delong Building, and the Gun Building, and the drunken South route that leads to the East House, the Deyue House, the five Zhang, and the German House, but there is no need to play so according to the rules. It&rsquo;s good to take a walk around, go everywhere, and watch everywhere, especially before 9 o&rsquo;clock in the morning, an absolute welfare trip! There are very few people, so that you can have an exotic feeling. When every stone on the stone road is nailed to a person at 10:11, the interest will decay in geometric series. In Quanzhou, it can even be said that in Fujian, there are countless places where you can shaving flowers, even Zhangzhou Tulou can shaving flowers! But only Yulin can shoot the little girl, although Wudian City can also shoot the little girl, but lost the Nanyang wind building of Yulin, just like the leaves in the wind without roots, inexorable. But Xiaoniang provokes people, unlike the flowers, everyone can come, Xiaoniang is suitable for thin people, wearing a colored top skirt is very popular, dozens of dollars can rent a clothes headdress for a few hours, very cheap, do not know where the most film can find a photographer to shoot, Or follow other photographers, you will definitely find the best seat! Finally, talk about the cost, tickets are free. Transportation cars can be taken or not, about 600 meters a way, 9 yuan to and from. The price is very high, especially if Quanzhou South Railway Station or the airport is landed, the first stop is the first choice for Yulin.

Originally, there were not many plans to walk on the Anping Bridge, but the time was limited and the weather was not good. I thought about coming here for a stroll. As a result, I found a big surprise. The whole bridge was really long and long. I walked with numb feet. I don&#39;t know if I should keep going.
