Chapter 1654 I’m pretty lucky
“It seems quite important to tell you this.” Tu Liangzhi said with emotion: “After all, it is the history of our ancestors, and we cannot forget this root. .”
“In fact, it’s literal. After all, things still have a carrier, so it’s not the most urgent thing.” Zhou Zhi said: “The more cultural heritage that continues to be saved is the part that has been passed down orally by Bimo throughout the generations, such as ancient songs; or the part that is displayed in the body. , such as various sacrificial dances."
“The best carrier of these cultural heritages is people, but now that people have learned this, the other carriers can only be audio or video equipment, so that they can be preserved and handed over to subsequent researchers. We study and study with interested parties . "
"You are a little too big-hearted," Jike Chiri, who had been listening quietly before and said nothing, suddenly spoke up: "Even after two disasters, the remaining ones, Do you know how many there are?”
"I checked some information before coming here. Among the surviving Yi documents, there are more than 260 stone inscriptions in Qianzhou and more than 700 in Yunnan Province."
"Paper books. There are more than 10,000 volumes of documents collected by relevant domestic departments and the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries. r>
“I guess the number of Meigu’s folk classics is only a lot more than this.”
“And the part I talked about about continuing to save is far more than these, leaving Those in Bimo's heart."
"How are you going to save it?" Lao Chiri asked.
"Old man, wait a minute..." Zhou Zhi put down the wine bowl and returned to the car to get a Sony recorder: "We can use this."
This is the latest recording equipment, using A small tape specially designed for collecting information.
The working principle of this kind of tape is the same as that of ordinary tape, but unlike the traditional tape, the shell is very large, the core soft magnetic strip is very few, and the content is only enough for one side for half an hour. The information collection time of this kind of tape is different. The recording soft magnetic strip is very long, the coil is very thick, and the tape is relatively wide. Therefore, the thickness of the tape shell is thicker than that of ordinary tapes, but the size is almost half of that of ordinary tapes, making the machine quite compact.
"Old man, please sing the ancient song again." Zhou Zhi stretched out the microphone wrapped in a woolen head to eliminate the sonic boom in front of Lao Chiri.
The old Yi people are not inexperienced people. They roughly guessed what it was, took the small microphone, and started singing to it.
After the song was finished, Zhou Zhi took a small speaker the size of an egg and connected it to the tape recorder, rewound the tape and pressed the play button.
The old man's desolate and simple singing voice came out from the speakers. In this empty room, the Sony recorder's recording amplifier effect was very good, as if there was another old red sun singing in the void. Same.
“This thing is much better than that of the county radio and television bureau.” Wu Renzhong was amazed: “The recording effect of the equipment in the provincial capital is really good!”
“The best thing is the work. The time is long enough." Zhou Zhi introduced: "One cassette of this kind can record for eight hours, but the rechargeable battery must be replaced midway."
"If it is dance and skills, it is best to record. Yes." Zhou Zhi said.
"Isn't this... very expensive?" Lao Chiri was just shocked by his own voice. There is actually a big difference between a person listening to his own voice through a device and a synthesized auditory sound transmitted through external brain bones. But the effect is needless to say, it sounds quite nice.
If Zhou Zhi were to judge, this is a rich mid-bass folk singing style. Of course I don’t understand it as a magic, but I still know how to appreciate it as an art.
So he smiled and said to Chiri: "Don't worry, old man, the tapes and videotapes, the sponsor of this project, said they have enough control!"
"Really?" Xiaowa promised It was so easy that Chi Ri could not believe it even more.
"We'll try recording again tomorrow." Zhou Zhi said, "This time I brought several sets of equipment, as well as a lot of tapes and videotapes. It should be able to be used for a while, but how to record and how to build indexes and files will be difficult. is more important."
" Otherwise, if you record a lot of them in a mess without scientific cataloging and management, it will be a big trouble in the end, and it will even lose its due value."
"That's true." Chiri. Said: "Take witchcraft as an example, it can be divided into There are many types such as worshiping ancestors, offering sacrifices to gods, eliminating disasters, exorcising demons and sending ghosts, calling souls, praying for blessings, divination, welcoming gods, and so on."
"Take sending ghosts as an example. They are divided into domestic ghosts, suburban ghosts, and wild ghosts...the methods used are also different. "
Chiri just used other examples, but used this to explain the complexity of the Yi people's witchcraft culture, which made Tu Liangzhi frown: "This... what do these count for? Cultural Essence or Cultural Dregs? ”
"Without in-depth and thorough research and understanding, I think we are not qualified to evaluate. After all, we can't even get a glimpse of the leopard now." Zhou Zhi's attitude is very sincere: "But we can keep these precious information first, and wait until everyone has studied it. It’s thorough, it’s not too late to comment again.”< br>
"That's right, what Elbow said is the truth. Those who don't understand anything, what qualifications do they have to evaluate Bimo? That is to say, the good fortune fell in the new season, and it has to be changed to a hundred years earlier. Hum! ”
This sentence alone can already explain Jike Chiri’s character.
Bimo has mastered a large number of witchcraft, spells, and poison-making techniques. Although Jike Chiri often encounters people who slander Bimo culture, he is just angry and has never thought of using those means to revenge.
Regardless of whether it works or not, just considering that Lao Chiri has never had this thought, it is a very respectable thing in itself.
"Although the matter is very complicated, we are not at all unsure." Zhou Zhi said: "There are many ethnic groups in our country who have spoken and written languages. The most famous ones are the Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups, and the Hui people use Persian and Arabic."
"These peoples. The cultural heritage of China also needs to be sorted out, but they all have an advantage. This kind of sorting work has been started very early in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Not only has a large number of classics been left behind, but also we have collected and sorted out the cultural heritage of other ethnic groups. cultural heritage, providing valuable experience and ready-made examples . ”
“The Yi people are much weaker in this regard. The reason is that the previous ancient dynasties did not pay enough attention, coupled with the many years of internal and external wars and catastrophes from ancient times to the present, resulting in the loss of a large number of classics, and more of them were reduced to Word of mouth passed down from generation to generation. ”
"But there are two things to say," Zhou Zhi comforted Lao Chiri: "Compared with the many ethnic groups in our country that have not yet developed writing, or that have developed writing and finally lost it, the Yi people are very special. Lucky for you.”
