It's worth it! Unfortunately, the seating rate is too low. Many people don't know such a treasure. I heard that Naxi Gule is difficult to find a ticket many years ago, but many young people may not know it now. The real cultural treasure Lijiang Cultural Tourism should be strongly supported.
MoreMusic is Medicine, it can bring life or death.
Located at the Himalayan foothills of Yunnan, the ancient cultural centre of Lijiang County is mainly inhabited by the ethnic minority called Naxi. Due to its remote geographical location, it has miraculously peserved the ancient Chinese Dongjing music.
Dongjing music was used by the scholars in ancient of China as a kind of”Liyue”(rites and music) activity in Taoist rituals.It has the dual function of harmonizing human relationships. Confucianism and nourishing the body and he soul as in Taoism, Since the music was chiefly used to perform the Transcendent Scripture of the Great Grotto of Wenchang (Da-dong Xianjing ), it was called Dongjing (grotto scripture) music. This music later became popular among the cultural elites during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
During the Jiajing period in the Ming Dynasty(1522-1566AD),DongJing music was introduced into Yunnan through the Naxi. With the spread of western knowledge in China in the latter part of the Qing Dynasty, this music almost vanished from Central China, but has survived in the isolation of Lijiang County.
Nakhi music and its powerful ideas were discovered by Mr.Xuan Ke,He Yian,and YangZengLie. Together they rebuild the Nakhi Orchestra in order to research,to train young students.
Dayan Nakhi Ancient Music Association's effort in preserving and promoting Dongjing music has much attention and interests among scholars in China and overseas. The Ensemble enjoys the prestige of having”three old rarities”: ancient musical compositions, authentic instruments and elderly musicians. The works to be featured in this concert can be traced back as far as the Tang Dynasty and consist of accompanied songs and instrumental pieces.
It's worth it! Unfortunately, the seating rate is too low. Many people don't know such a treasure. I heard that Naxi Gule is difficult to find a ticket many years ago, but many young people may not know it now. The real cultural treasure Lijiang Cultural Tourism should be strongly supported.
The old man who could perform a recital in Naxi Guleli two decades ago should have gone by the wayside, with seven performers over 80 last year, and now only three. I don't know how long this culture can be preserved, and after watching the singers in the bar next door sing when love is a thing of the past, like two parallel worlds.
Naxi is a very famous ethnic group in Lijiang, and plays a very important role in Yunnan, a multi-ethnic area! The Naxi people are simple and kind, with their own unique cultural connotation, and the ancient music performance is very spectacular and enthusiastic, fully showing their love for life!
High performance level, overall great
Cultural heritage worth experiencing
It's impressive to see
Finally appreciated the Naxi ancient music, here is the most primitive authentic. Some old people opened Dongba music opposite, but here is the original ancient music. The main body of the performance is the Tang Song Dynasty ancient music, interspersed with the Naxi Baisha fine music. Every day from 8 to 9 pm, Xuanke's posterity explained. You can calm down and listen.
