2008年元宵節(jié)期間，在澠池縣失傳了上百年的民間藝術(shù)品——布扎棚口，以其獨特的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格，亮相澠池縣城，許多觀眾對這一文化藝術(shù)形式贊不絕口。
   
    棚口又稱棚門，是民間布扎工藝的集成，其圖案繁多，色彩絢麗，工序復(fù)雜。200多年前，每當(dāng)元宵節(jié)，天池鎮(zhèn)各村藝人就用布扎小棚口來敬神祈福，以求人才兩旺。后來逐年沿襲，發(fā)展為扎大棚口。棚口形狀摸仿古城樓構(gòu)思，中軸對稱，整體造型分主樓和兩翼墻兩部分。傳統(tǒng)的布扎棚口，規(guī)模由十三扇、十七扇組成之說。棚口上用布扎成的動物圖案和人物造型豐富多彩，栩栩如生。動物圖案多為和平鴿、長頸鶴、二龍戲珠、孔雀開屏等。人物圖案多以戲曲《劈山救母》、《斷橋》、《三對面》、《哪咤鬧海》中的人物居多。后因各種原因失傳。
   
    為了搶救這一瀕臨失傳的傳統(tǒng)文化藝術(shù)，使其世代相傳，去年以來，澠池縣文化部門投入了大量的人力物力，深入其發(fā)源地天池鎮(zhèn)東天池村，利用農(nóng)閑時間將年逾  古稀的老民間藝人組織起來，先后利用一個多月時間扎出了一個完整的棚口，并在今年元宵節(jié)期間在縣城展出，使這項古老的民間藝術(shù)重放異彩。



       
    Pengkou, also called Pengmen, is a collection of cloth-weave technology. It has various pictures, bright color as well as particular making processes. 200 years ago, artists in Tianchi County weaved little Pengkou to pray happiness to God in every Lantern Festival. With the time passing by, it developed into big Pengkou, whose shape copied old gate tower which was axial symmetry and had two parts: a main building and two wings wall. Traditional cloth-weave Pengkou is always made up of 13 or 17 windows. The animal and figure pictures appearing on Pengkou are usually colorful, full of variety and lovely. Pitifully, it has failed to be handed down for various reasons.
