Art Appreciation Tionghoa, girls adore Eporia seclusion

By Abudarsih
Teater Koma never failed to perform Sampek Engtay in Medan for an unknown reason. It said it is unclear because such restrictions solely because it adopted the legendary performance of the China story, later in the show brings barongsai as the opening dance. Ironically, officials had authority to prohibit the performance of only a dozen minutes ahead of the play begins. Attendance is queued in front of the door Tiara Convention Hall, where the event was held, was disappointed. Refundable tickets, the crowd dispersed.

Sampek new Engtay successfully held in the same place duapuluhlima years later. Teater Koma amaze and entertain audiences successfully. Anxiety over whether what the story adopted from China's legend, on the stage it was "ketoprak" really. The narrator-or ki-puppeteers who bring the story appears as Ki Semar figure in the world wayang in Javanese art. Lion Dance? Yes. But it's more reminiscent of the art reog Ponorogo.

Yes, ban, bans appear, or whatever his name, the smelt Tionghoa art into something that is not eternal. Substitution of the New Order regime to order reforms brought fresh wind to the activities and cultural creativity Tionghoa. In the reign of Gus Dur, a rule that creates a culture of discrimination against Tionghoa revoked. Lunar New Year celebrations passed as an official national holiday.

Period Tionghoa artistic freedom of expression began. Sino Arts before a beautiful girl like dipingit, now began to appear in public archipelago. Discriminatory treatment of Tionghoa culture has been deleted. Art Tionghoa considered to have contributed to enrich the culture of the archipelago. Support the government's political atmosphere of freedom of expression opportunities Tionghoa art.

Lunar New Year celebrations which took place on the anniversary summit Cap Go Meh used the momentum to hold a variety of arts Tionghoa. Various cultural events were held Tionghoa in various cities. Even Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and has made the week Singkawang Tionghoa culture as tourism agenda. In Medan, there are Chinese Lantern Festival and a number of other agendas. But we hope, the future of this event can be improved more.

Wisdom Art
Art in the expression has a universal language called aesthetics. Art is a neutral territory that is free from political conflict. Art works for a heart bring the message to anyone familiar with the beauty of love, morals, ethics, peace and harmony in diversity. So, really naive art discriminate on any name.

For example, barongsai. Sino Art this one is grounded, not only among ethnic Tionghoa but also other ethnic communities. Apparently after didalami, barongsai contains an interesting philosophical meaning to reference when watching the dance. According to a Tionghoa cultural literature, dance barongsai, in general, considered as a way to get a blessing from the gods and shy away from any misfortune. This belief is true from generation to generation.

Barongsai movement based on an actual story line is simple enough. Usually the dance scene started barongsai lion was asleep in a cave located behind a closed portal.

Then, a monk who was a big coming in front of the cave and began to prepare the altar. After cleaning the place, the monk wakes the lion with the gong rang as loudly as possible. Apparently the priest deliberately did this so that the lion praying too.

Because the lion quickly bored, the monk began to attract attention with a green object. It enrages even the lion and he was trying to bite the seducer.

In conclusion, the movement is full of barongsai game philosophy. Similarly, the color of barongsai lion costume, no meaning. For color, there are five colors that are always there in costume, which is yellow, black, green, red, and white. It is said that the five colors is used to control the five main directions.

In addition, the movement also means. The lion is usually danced with the movement back and forth and zig-zag to confuse the demons. It is said, from the arts community is to believe that evil forces are always moving straight. While eating and sharing a scene green objects symbolizing the division of wealth and good fortune for those who attend.

So. As time went, Tionghoa arts activity in the more creative mengespresikan convince anyone, that art so long as "the girl seclusion" is the potential to contribute more than just express the wisdom traditions of art.

In some cities where the cultural festival held Indonesians, local officials and encourage the arts instead Tionghoa as tourism agenda. In other words, culture is considered commodities Tionghoa impact on the economic side of the tourism sector. Unfortunately, in the field there is no container development of adequate appreciation of the presence of arts groups, that can make tourists rushing to come to this city. As we know waiting for the traditional arts entertainment industry to a commodity rather than a simple case. Tionghoa cultural worship, hopefully not just ephoria celebrate his freedom.
