Dixi is a local opera popular in Anshun City, Guizhou Province. Its origin is related to the Anshun garrison troops from Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other places in the early Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty army set up 24 guards and 26 guard yamen in Guizhou, of which Anshun had 3 guards and 2 guard yamen. The historical data called the soldiers of the guards "Tunbao people". With the Tunbao people, Dixi also appeared. Anshun Dixi performances are based on villages and the actors are authentic farmers. Generally, there is one play in a village, with 20 to 30 actors, and the "god head" is in charge. The performances are held during the Spring Festival and the seventh month of the lunar calendar when the rice is in bloom. When the villagers build houses for wealth, pray for blessings and children, they will invite the "gods" in the Dixi team, such as Guan Yu and She Taijun, to perform activities such as "opening the door to wealth" and "sending the prince". Anshun Dixi is an ancient drama, with the notable feature that the performers wear green scarves on their heads, battle skirts around their waists, masks on their foreheads, and spears, swords, and halberds in their hands. They sing and dance in response. The singing is a rap of seven-word and ten-word rhymes. With the accompaniment of a gong and a drum, one person leads the singing and the others follow. There is a lingering sound of Yiyang Laoqiang. The dance mainly expresses the fighting and killing of wars, which is vigorous, rough, simple and strong. The more than 30 big books performed by Anshun Dixi are the protagonists of the Xue Family Generals, Yang Family Generals, Yue Family Generals, Di Family Generals, Three Kingdoms Heroes, and Wagang Heroes, who are loved by Tunbu people. They praise loyalty and righteousness, and praise loyal ministers and generals who serve the country. The content is all about the stories of the conquest of the country. Anshun Dixi is a rare living material for studying the genesis of drama, anthropology, religion, folklore and other disciplines. However, under the impact of modern culture, its performances have gradually shrunk, the actors are older and the number is decreasing year by year, and many villages with Dixi teams have stopped playing gongs and drums for many years. It is urgent to protect this ancient drama with rich cultural connotations.
