四川民间曲艺品种，以锣鼓伴奏演唱故事并配以抛刀掷捧等杂耍表演的曲种。主要流行于四川汉族地区的城镇乡村。约形成于清咸丰年间。表演者手持木棒、火棒及特制的刀、叉等物，一面演唱，一面将手持物向空中抛掷，一般抛掷三件，空中二件，手中一件，如此循往复，类拟于杂技之“杂耍”。60年代以后四川花鼓逐渐以曲艺舞台上消失，个别地区民间艺人偶有表演。
This kind of performance is singing stories accompanied by gong and drum with acrobatics. It came into being around Qing Dynasty and was popular in countryside in Sichuan. The performer holds three sticks or knives or forks. When singing the stories, he throws two into the air and keeps one in hand and tries to catch one from the air and throw the one in hand into the air. Those three sticks are thrown into the air and caught by the actor’s hand in turn. After 1960s, Sichuan Huagu died out. Occasionally it can be seen in some remote areas. |
