What is the Chinese Peking Opera, the quintessence of China?

In the course of the development of China's 5,000-year-old historical civilization, there have been many cultural relics and essences that have been passed down for centuries, such as China's four great inventions, China's four famous works and China's three quintessences, and today we want to understand the three major quintessences of China, namely: Chinese Peking Opera, Chinese painting and Chinese medicine, which are famous at home and abroad.

Peking Opera is the most influential type of opera in China. Peking Opera was exchanged and integrated by absorbing some local tunes and folk tunes, and finally formed Peking Opera. Peking Opera is known as the "National Opera". It has traveled all over the world and has become an important means of introducing and disseminating traditional Chinese culture.

Peking Opera is also known as "Pi Huang", which is composed of two basic tones of "Xipi" and "Erhuang", and also sings some local small tunes (such as Liuzi cavity, blowing cavity, etc.) and Kunqu opera, which is the representative of modern Han opera. It was formed in Beijing around 1840 and flourished in the 20th century.

In the thirties and forties, it has a history of 200 years. Its performing arts tend to combine the virtual and the real to express the technique, and to the greatest extent beyond the limitations of stage space and time, in order to achieve the artistic realm of "conveying the spirit with form, and having both form and spirit". It is one of the major dramas with national influence.

It is comprehensive, mature and magnificent, and is a representative of modern Chinese opera.

The predecessor of Peking Opera was a Hui troupe that was popular in the south of the Yangtze River in the early Qing Dynasty and mainly sang and blew the tone, high pluck, and erhuang. The Hui troupe has strong mobility, frequent contact with other operas, and exchanges and infiltrates each other in the vocal cavity, so in the process of development, it also performed a lot of Kun operas, and also absorbed the Luo Luo dialect and some other miscellaneous songs. In the 55th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1790), the first Hui class (Sanqing class) headed by Gao Langting (Mingyue Official) entered Beijing to participate in the celebration of Emperor Qianlong's 80th birthday.

Subsequently, many Hui classes entered Beijing one after another. The famous ones are Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai, and Chun four classes, although Hechun was established in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), later than the thirteenth year of Sanqing, but later generations still call it "the four major Hui classes into Beijing". <

There are 3,000 years of written history in China (5,000 years) without opera. Some are just very simple competitive singing and dancing. But these simple songs and dances.

But it is the source of Chinese opera and the folk songs and dances of ancient society. Sacrifice to heaven in a slave society. The witch dance of the witch god.

are all one of the elements of opera. History continues into the Zhou Dynasty. Spring and autumn.

During the Warring States period, these simple songs and dances developed greatly, and at this time there were professional actors. It was called at the time"Haiyu "Maiyu". The form has changed from the original to percussion.

to have a flute. Sheng. Flute.

Instruments such as the piano were played. (Zhong Ziqi fell to the piano Xie Zhiyin) also has a ** that can be called a song. This kind of ** is especially especially in the Chu State.

When Chu and Han fought, didn't there be a story of "embattled"? After the embattled battle. It's the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty lasted four hundred years. The society is relatively stable. The need for culture increases.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are a must for literati and ink writers. <>

Han opera is popular in Hubei, and the Erhuang and Xipi in its vocal cavity are related to Hui opera. The Hui and Han operas had a wide range of artistic blends before entering Beijing. Following the last years of Qianlong, the famous Han opera master Mi Ying advanced to Beijing.

After the Han opera performers entered the Hui class, they dissolved the vocal melody, performance skills, and performance repertoire into the Hui opera, so that the singing style of the Hui opera became richer and more perfect, and the singing method and recitation were more phonetic characteristics in Beijing, and it was easy for the Beijing people to accept. In the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), all the famous classes were old students as foremen. After the confluence of Hui and Han, it contributed to the exchange of Xipi tunes in Hubei and Ergong tunes in Anhui.

The confluence of Hui, Qin and Han laid the foundation for the birth of Peking Opera.

From the 20th year of Daoguang to the 10th year of Xianfeng (1840-1860), Peking Opera was formed through the confluence of Hui opera, Qin dialect and Han dialect, and the advantages of Kunqu opera and Beijing dialect. <>

It is because of the existence of Peking Opera with a long history, and Peking Opera also represents a lot of cultural charm and is a classic of Chinese opera culture, so it is the quintessence of the country.

It is because Beijing is the capital of the world, and there are many special cultures in this place, and the words and phrases of Peking Opera are relatively simple, so ordinary people can also enjoy it.

Because Peking Opera adds a lot of traditional elements, and also integrates a lot of tunes and types, it is liked by many people.

The reason why Peking Opera is called the quintessence of the country is mainly because it represents the essence of traditional Chinese culture.

Because Peking Opera is a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The art of Peking Opera embodies the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Chinese opera culture has a long history, from the music and dance of the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, to the Liyuan Hundred Opera of the Tang Dynasty, to the Southern Opera of the Song Dynasty, and the Kunqu Opera of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all of which provided sufficient nutrients for the formation of Peking Opera.

The process of the formation of Peking Opera is also the process of Peking Opera embracing all rivers in traditional Chinese culture. Peking Opera not only inherits the essence of ancient opera, but also integrates the artistic elements and characteristics of many ancient operas such as Qin opera and Han opera on the basis of Hui opera. Therefore, although Peking Opera is only more than 100 years old, its spiritual core is 2,000 years of Chinese culture.

In addition, the art of Peking Opera and classical arts such as poetry, calligraphy, and painting reflect the aesthetic taste of the Chinese, such as the simple beauty of Peking Opera, which can echo the art of calligraphy and Chinese painting; The analogy and symbolism of Peking Opera are also commonly used rhetorical devices in classical literature. The rhythm in the singing of Peking Opera is consistent with the rhythm of ancient poetry; Even the costumes of Peking Opera are the result of beautifying the costumes of different periods such as the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Therefore, Peking Opera is not only a genre, but also an encyclopedia of Chinese civilization!

Peking Opera is the quintessence of our country, and Peking Opera has spread throughout the country and has a wide influence, and is known as "National Opera". In May 2006, Peking Opera was approved to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. In 2010, it was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO).

Peking Opera is one of the quintessences of the country.

China's traditional culture is very long and rich, and there are many national quintessences.

Because Peking Opera bai is Chinese culture du

One of the important characteristics of tradition.

From 1919 to 1935, Mei Lanfang's performance of Peking Opera outside Haidao eliminated the prejudice of the West against Chinese theater rights and even Chinese at that time, promoted the spread of Chinese Peking Opera overseas, and enhanced cultural exchanges between the East and the West. Chinese Peking Opera, an oriental art wonder, shines brightly on the world theater stage.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the foreign exchanges of Peking Opera were mainly organized by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Culture, and Peking Opera became the cultural envoy of the country.

China has sent Peking Opera troupes to visit and perform all over the world, among which Mei Lanfang visited the Soviet Union in 1952, 1957 and 1960, and visited Japan for the third time in 1956, winning great honor for Chinese traditional culture overseas. His superb performance not only impressed the world with China's "quintessence" Peking Opera, but also had a profound impact on the theater and film art of Japan, Europe and the United States.

Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, Kundu Opera is the quintessence of the world, Bai Peking Opera is the flower play, and Kundu Opera is the sound of Yabe.

1, the yellow play is actually it.

Zhi Qing Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi picked it up, this old lady doesn't like the elegant Fengyue, and loves to see the family and country hatred, so the play of Pi Huang can arouse the interest of the late Qing court.

2. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the main activity area of Kunqu Opera was seriously damaged, which was bound to deal a devastating blow to the opera troupe, and Kunqu Opera fell behind in the nearly 150-year Huaya Controversy.

3. Shanghainese gave the name of "Peking Opera" to Pi Huang's play, and 49 years later, in order to unify the culture, the authorities naturally wanted to establish a big brother in opera, and Kunqu Opera represented the Jiangnan scholar culture, which was incompatible with the northern culture.

4. Kunqu Opera is the quintessence of the world, and in the past 20 years, it has been loved by intellectual elites, literary and artistic youth, the middle class and Western audiences, and has become a trend of comprehensive revival and rise, so the battle of Huaya is not over.

5. Why is Peking Opera still the quintessence of the country? Look at CCTV11 opera channel, 365 days a year, every night at 19:30 a few times Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera a few times, you will know the reason. It is impossible for the authorities to allow Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera to compete in a division of etiquette, even the dialects are about to disappear, and culturally they only establish an authority, because the division of the court will spread from one field to all fields.

For a question of why Kunqu opera once declined and then re-emerged, search for "Why is the so-called quintessence of the country Peking Opera and not Kunqu Opera?" There is a long article in it, which explains it very clearly.

China has a long history of 5,000 years since ancient times, and has been in the same line, including our surnames can be traced back to the 18th generation of our ancestors, which can also be seen that all the products of our Chinese culture that can survive to this day are traceable to the source. It is our three quintessences of China, and everyone must be able to get them at their fingertips, so what are the three quintessences of China in addition to Peking Opera and Chinese medicine? Let's take a closer look.

For China's three quintessence of Peking Opera and Chinese medicine, there is also Chinese painting. Needless to say, Peking Opera and Traditional Chinese Medicine have their own unique characteristics in the initial entertainment activities, whether it is Hua Dan or Xiaosheng, they are very particular about singing and dressing; And traditional Chinese medicine is a miraculous product, opening up the six veins of Rendu, and acupuncture at various acupuncture points, which has made Xiyi very confused to this day. There is an old saying that Western medicine does not cure the symptoms, while Chinese medicine is the medical technique of curing the root cause, so far, there are still many people who believe in Chinese medicine, and when they are unwell, they can use the medical skills of Chinese medicine to drive away the cold and keep warm, enhance their physical fitness, which is also the unique treatment characteristics of Chinese.

The other is our Chinese painting, compared with foreign watercolor paintings and sketches, Chinese painting pays attention to the artistic conception and taste, whether it is landscape painting or figure painting, many times do not seek exquisiteness, only artistic conception. In the artistic conception, the most famous is the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", which richly shows the life of the people in the streets outside the capital, and the pinnacle of this painting is that the details are in place at the same time, and the artistic conception is also vividly conveyed.

There are many famous painters in our country, such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, etc., so far, if you have a real piece of Qi Baishi, there is no problem with auctioning hundreds of millions of yuan. It can be seen that the position of Chinese painting in the minds of our people is very important.

The above is what we often call the three quintessences of China, Peking Opera, Chinese Medicine, and Chinese Painting, each of which is the essence of the essence, and as future generations, we have the responsibility to continue to pass them on.

China's three quintessences, in addition to Peking Opera and traditional Chinese medicine, there is also Chinese painting.

There is also a Chinese painting, Chinese painting is mainly divided into figures, flowers and birds, landscapes and these categories, Chinese painting has a high achievement in the river of history, there are glorious moments.

There is also a Chinese painting, the history of Chinese painting is very long, and the ancient name of Chinese painting is Danqing.

It is the pride of civilization and art of the Chinese nation, and it is also our cultural symbol and artistic benchmark.

We must carry forward and block traditional culture, which will always be the spiritual pillar of a nation and a solid foundation for the development of a nation. Therefore, the value and significance of traditional opera in Chinese simple pants are very reserved. This value and meaning will go back a long way.
