About This Novel

Shanwei City, also known as Hailufeng. In 2006, Hai Lufeng's four rare dramas, Zhengzi, Baizi, Xiqin, and Lufeng shadow puppets, were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage items. In 2011, UNESCO included Chinese shadow puppets, including Lufeng shadow puppets, in the list of human intangible cultural heritage items. This novel is divided into two parts. The first part is roughly as follows: In the summer vacation of 1992, college student Wen Xiao returned to his hometown of Hailufeng City to collect folk music. He planned to use the orthographic opera and white character opera in his hometown as the subject of his thesis writing. There is a saying in Hailufeng: "Master (the collective name of the gods) will not die, there is a show to watch." People in Hailufeng believe that all gods like to watch plays. Judging from the architectural style of Hailufeng, temple + stage (ancestral temple + stage) are the standard configuration, as offerings to the gods. After each play is performed, the artist's last line is always: "Thank the gods for their kindness and worship the sky." Not to mention the God's Birthday Opera, the Falling Horse Opera, the Son-off Opera and other opera customs related to worshiping gods. Wen Xiao's sister Xiaoxian, who plays the role of a dancer in the Xiangmi class, has a good relationship with Chun Shu, the daughter of Yang Fengxiang, the leader of the Xiangmi class. Wen Xiao followed Xiang Mi's class to visit villages and villages. Our story begins here. The main idea of the lower part is: At the end of 2022, Wen Xiao, who has been away from his hometown for many years, once again paid attention to the Hailu Fengxiang drama. The Xiangmi class has long been disbanded, and the characters back then have all lived out their own destinies.
