This Spring Festival, Shanxi So “City” – Jincheng&Changzhi Edition

2025年乙巳蛇年，我们迎来了具有历史意义的人类非遗版春节，为我们世代相传的节日更添一份特殊色彩。山西省文化和旅游厅精心制作“山西非遗春节民俗图鉴”，向我们介绍山西春节非遗。翻开晋城&长治篇，这里不仅有着历史悠久的煤炭文化与壮丽的太行山风光，还是体验春节非遗年俗的理想之地，每一处都散发着浓郁的传统年味。

In the Year of the Snake (Yi-Si) in 2025, we celebrate a historic Spring Festival inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list, adding a unique layer of significance to our time-honored festival. Culture and Tourism Department of Shanxi Province has specially launched the "Shanxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Spring Festival Folk Custom Manual," introducing us to the province's intangible cultural heritage related to the Spring Festival. Upon opening the chapter on Jincheng & Changzhi, we find not only a rich coal culture with a long history and the magnificent scenery of Mount Taihang, but also an ideal destination for experiencing intangible cultural heritage during the Spring Festival. Every corner exudes a strong traditional flavor of the Lunar New Year.

晋城春节非遗代表性项目包含鼓舞（土沃老花鼓）、阳城焙面面塑、上党梆子、泽州秧歌等，其中，阳城焙面面塑俗称焙面娃娃，每年农历七月十五，娘家都要给出嫁三年的女儿送焙面娃娃，后来，小孩满月、老人祝寿也送焙面娃娃。由于的焙烤方式独特、造型别具一格、颜色是比较单一的黄褐色、尺寸相对较小。长治春节非遗代表性项目包含沁州三弦书、上党八音金唢呐、长治民间社火、上党梆子等，其中，上党梆子以演唱梆子腔为主，兼唱昆曲、皮黄、罗罗腔、卷戏，音调高亢活泼，具有粗狂、健康的农民艺术特色。上党梆子的声腔特点十分明显，曲目丰富性、融合民间文化生活。

The representative intangible cultural heritage projects during the Spring Festival in Jincheng include Drum Dance (Tuwo Old Flower-drum Dance), Yangcheng Baked Dough Figurines, Shangdang Bangzi Opera, and Zezhou Yangko. Among them, Yangcheng Baked Dough Figurines, commonly known as baked dough dolls, are traditionally gifted by the bride's family to their married daughter on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month every year, three years after her marriage. Later, these dolls were also given on occasions such as a child's first month celebration and an elderly person's birthday. These dolls are characterized by their unique baking method, distinctive shapes, monochrome yellowish-brown color, and relatively small size. The representative intangible cultural heritage projects during the Spring Festival in Changzhi include Qinzhou Sanxian Ballad, Shangdang Eight-Tone Golden Suona, Changzhi Folk Shehuo, and Shangdang Bangzi Opera. Shangdang Bangzi Opera primarily features Bangziqiang but also incorporates Kunqu Opera, Pihuang Opera, Luoluoqiang, and Juanxi Opera. Its tone is loud and lively, embodying the rugged and healthy artistic characteristics of farmer culture. Shangdang Bangzi Opera boasts distinctive vocal characteristics, a rich repertoire, and a deep integration with folk cultural life.
