永(yong)修丫(ya)丫(ya)戲(xi)發源于(yu)江西(xi)省(sheng)四大(da)名鎮之一的吳城(cheng)鎮,距今有(you)360多年歷史的丫(ya)丫(ya)戲(xi)是(shi)在江西(xi)采茶戲(xi)與(yu)外(wai)來戲(xi)種融合基礎(chu)上形(xing)成的永(yong)修地方(fang)戲(xi)。該戲(xi)以(yi)(yi)打擊伴奏為主,唱腔、念白均為地方(fang)方(fang)言,以(yi)(yi)其唱腔悠(you)揚悅耳、表(biao)演生動活潑而深受(shou)當地農民(min)群眾(zhong)喜(xi)愛。
近年來,永(yong)修縣(xian)成(cheng)立(li)了(le)(le)(le)(le)縣(xian)非物質文(wen)化(hua)(hua)遺(yi)產領導小(xiao)組,組織工作(zuo)(zuo)人(ren)員尋訪老藝(yi)(yi)人(ren),廣泛收集(ji)丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)的(de)歷史資料、詞、曲、譜,并把(ba)丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)傳(chuan)(chuan)承人(ren)吸收到鄉(xiang)鎮文(wen)化(hua)(hua)站工作(zuo)(zuo), 鼓勵丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)民(min)間藝(yi)(yi)人(ren)帶徒授(shou)藝(yi)(yi)。縣(xian)文(wen)化(hua)(hua)部門還利(li)用(yong)節假日(ri)、農(nong)閑時期舉辦農(nong)民(min)丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)文(wen)化(hua)(hua)藝(yi)(yi)術節,既繁(fan)榮了(le)(le)(le)(le)農(nong)村(cun)文(wen)化(hua)(hua),又(you)擴大(da)了(le)(le)(le)(le)丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)的(de)影響力。如今,20多個農(nong)民(min)業余劇團(tuan)成(cheng)為永(yong)修縣(xian)農(nong)村(cun)文(wen)化(hua)(hua)建設的(de)一支重要(yao)生力軍(jun)。去(qu)年該(gai)縣(xian)編排了(le)(le)(le)(le)《七層樓》、《黃婆井的(de)傳(chuan)(chuan)說(shuo)》等劇目,榮獲省第二(er)屆民(min)間藝(yi)(yi)術農(nong)民(min)小(xiao)戲(xi)(xi)二(er)等獎,使瀕(bin)臨失傳(chuan)(chuan)的(de)民(min)間傳(chuan)(chuan)統劇種丫(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)又(you)重煥生機。
脫(tuo)胎于明末贛(gan)北板(ban)凳戲(xi)(xi),距今有370多年歷史,因其女(nv)角全部由男童女(nv)扮,頭扎兩(liang)個丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)發鬃,漸(jian)漸(jian)自成一派(pai),人稱永修“丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)”。2014年8月,經(jing)文(wen)(wen)化(hua)部審定批(pi)準,永修“丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)丫(ya)(ya)(ya)(ya)戲(xi)(xi)”成功列(lie)入第四(si)批(pi)國家級(ji)非(fei)物質(zhi)文(wen)(wen)化(hua)遺產(chan)代表性項目名(ming)錄,填(tian)補了永修在(zai)國家級(ji)非(fei)物質(zhi)文(wen)(wen)化(hua)遺產(chan)名(ming)錄方面的(de)空白。
