Shanbei storytelling is an important form of storytelling and folk art in the northwest of China. It is mainly popular in areas like Yan’an and Yulin in northern Shaanxi Province. It started as a way for blind artists to make a living by singing traditional stories. Over time, it absorbed(吸收) the tunes(曲调) of Qinqiang Opera and Xintianyou, and gradually became a form of storytelling that could be performed with long stories and singing. The performance is done by one person who sings and plays an instrument at the same time. The instrument can be a sanxian, a three-stringed(弦) Chinese instrument, or a pipa. Besides, there is also a clapper(拍板) made of two wooden boards tied to the performer’s legs to keep the rhythm(节奏).
One person who has made Shanbei storytelling more popular is Xiong Zhuying. He has cleverly connected this traditional art with modern technology and game. In the video game Black Myth: Wukong, game developers invited Xiong to introduce elements(元素) of Shanbei storytelling, making it interesting and enjoyable to younger audiences(观众) who might not experience this traditional art form before.
In the second part of the game, players will meet a monk(和尚) who performs a heartfelt piece of Shanbei music. This short but lively performance, lasting less than two minutes, has got over 10 million views on social media. Its lyrics, “Success and failure, life and death, are all beyond reason”, bring out deep emotions and make listeners think a lot. Xiong and the game developers’ creativity brings Shanbei storytelling back to life, making its future brighter than ever before.
