潜山木偶戏现状调查及保护对策研究

Current Situation and Protection of Qianshan Puppet Play

潜山木偶戏是大别山区的稀见地方剧种,从外地传入,距今有近200年的历史。潜山民间艺人通过家族传承的方式代代相传,已传四至五代,现今较为活跃的民间班社有3个。在乡间百姓娱乐活动形式不多的早期,潜山木偶戏民间演艺活动活跃,足迹远涉邻县。时代的发展变迁、民间娱乐形式的多元化选择,使得潜山木偶戏逐渐失去观众、市场,只能在偏远山区活动,一度濒临消亡。如今,在国家政策的重视和地方政府的扶持下,潜山木偶戏虽重新焕发活力,但仍面临诸多发展困境,需要政府、社会和自身等多方力量的努力,借助地方特色和优势,来寻找有效的保护路径。

Qianshan Puppet Play is a rare local play in the Dabie Mountain area, which was introduced into the region from other places and has a long history of nearly two hundred years. Folk artists handed down the play through family inheritance for about four or five generations. Now there are only three folk troupes performing the play in the region. In early time when recreational activities were insufficient, Puppet Play performances were much popular in countryside of Qianshan as well as some adjacent counties. However, with the development of times and diversification of the forms of mass amusement, the Play gradually lost its audiences and market and it was on the verge of dying out surviving only in some remote areas. Thanks to the support of relevant national policies and local government, now the Play has renewed vigor, but still faces many development difficulties. It needs to get more support from government and society, rely on its own efforts and give play to its own local characteristics and advantages so as to find effective protection methods.
