Why is Peking Opera our national treasure?

Our country is one of the most famous ancient civilizations in the world. Over a long period of time, numerous literary and artistic forms were formed. For example, there are many forms of opera.

Various operas are sometimes called "local operas", which means that different places have different types of operas. For example, the opera in Henan Province is called "Henan Opera", the opera in Shanxi Province is called "Jin Opera", and the opera in Hebei Province is called "Hebei Bangzi". And "Peking Opera" is not only a local opera in Beijing, it is a national opera developed from a variety of operas, otherwise how many people call it "national opera"?

If the various art forms in our country are compared to a big garden, then Peking Opera is the most beautiful flower in this garden, which is loved by the people of the whole country and even the whole world. It is often said that there are three good treasures in China, in addition to "traditional Chinese medicine" and "Chinese painting", "Peking Opera" is also one. No wonder not only we Chinese have a lot of "theater fans", but even many foreign friends come to our country to see "Beijing Opera"!

Peking Opera is the largest type of opera formed in Beijing, with a history of 200 years. It is formed on the basis of Hui opera and Han opera, absorbing the advantages and specialties of some opera operas such as Kunqu opera and Qin dialect. In 1790 (the 55th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty), Hui opera began to enter Beijing.

The earliest Hui opera troupe to enter Beijing was the famous Anhui "Sanqing Class", followed by the "Four Happiness", "Hechun", "Chuntai" classes, known as the "Four Great Hui Classes" (the four major Hui classes entered Beijing from Yangzhou). The four major Hui classes and the Hui classes that entered Beijing one after another were welcomed by the audience for their beautiful singing and excellent performances.

Quintessence. Intangible cultural heritage.

It is the first recommendation of the original Chinese opera intangible cultural heritage created by the Chinese.

What's good about Peking Opera**? Why is it called the quintessence of the country? First of all, I don't agree with the word quintessence.

Because the word quintessence is not rigorous, unscientific, and authoritative, it is just a mantra for some people in society. So what Zhang San likes is called the quintessence of the country, and what Li Si likes is also called the quintessence of the country, and as a result, the quintessence of the country has become a garbage basket, and everything is thrown into it, hoping not to throw Peking Opera in this broken basket with garbage.

Let's talk about the difference between Peking Opera and local opera, the predecessor of Peking Opera was a mixture of Erhuang and Xipi dialects that spread in Anhui and Hubei, and also absorbed Kunqu Opera.

The ingredient was once called a random bomb. Huiban entered Beijing.

Later, he was photographed by the court. After the processing and improvement of the royal literati doctors, it gradually removed the vulgar and improved the elegance, and became a drama that was liked by the royal family and scholars.

Peking Opera has a systematic performance system, with a complete range of trades, perfect singing, perfect percussion, a stylized performance system, and luxurious makeup. There are many genres and thousands of repertoire, and Peking Opera is aestheticism.

The virtual art is a strange thing that stands out in the world of theater, and it is Chinese drama.

The peak is incomparable to any other drama. That's why it's designated as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

This is beyond the reach of various local dramas.

Peking Opera first belongs to the leisure class, how many people are idle now? Peking Opera, first of all, is an attractive singing voice and a popular song.

It is popular to guess the song "Open the door" every day.

Guessing the title of a song also makes money, who still wants to enjoy Peking Opera? Peking Opera narrates ancient stories, and various **** now narrate current stories, who is still interested in the stories of a few hundred years ago, one or two thousand years ago? TV sketch cross talk can entertain to death, who is still interested in babbling ethical and moral stories?

When literary and artistic forms deviate from the needs of the times, they will inevitably grow old and be abandoned. Moreover, the new movie is more attractive to people who are not cheap, have long distances, and are under the age of retirement.

But after all, good works will be attractive. Fine products will always be appreciated and endured.

The reason why Peking Opera is known as the quintessence of the country, as early as the Qianlong period, the four major Hui troupes have a long history in Beijing, Peking Opera is a merger of Hui opera, Qin dialect, and Han tune, and learn from and absorb Kunqu opera, the length of the Beijing dialect and formed. It is mainly composed of two yellows and west skins, and the melody board is complete and rich. The industry is complete and the repertoire is varied.

The singing and performance style are unique, and the speaking has the characteristics of Beijing language. Mei Lanfang, a famous Peking Opera master, has been invited to perform in Japan and Europe several times, making Peking Opera all over the world, with overseas influence and praise. In 2010, Peking Opera was inscribed on the Representative List of the World's Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Our Peking Opera is spread all over the world, and it has become an important medium for introducing and disseminating traditional Chinese art and culture. It can be seen that its essence is incomparable, far better than other dramas.

Peking Opera has a unique charm of the Chinese nation, it not only has a particularly strong story, but also a very attractive tone, because of its long history, it is called the quintessence of the country.

I think Peking Opera is good because of its tone, because it has a long history and has been passed down.

It is said that Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country because it has the following characteristics:

1: Peking Opera is an encyclopedia that condenses Chinese civilization.

The process of the formation of Peking Opera is also the process of Peking Opera embracing all rivers in traditional 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.

For example, "Three Forks", obviously on the stage with strong lighting, but through the performance of the actors, you can forget time and space, as if this is a dark room where you can't see your fingers.

China's Peking Opera is unique in the world. Its characteristics are exquisite, raw, dan, pure, end, ugly; Five trades. The hands, eyes, sound, method, and steps are all practiced since childhood, and if you can't do anything, you won't be able to get on stage.

Each of the five trades has its own characteristics and subdivisions; Sheng: Xiaosheng, Wusheng, Laosheng, Dan: Hua Dan, Cai Dan, Tsing Yi ......In short, every role in the industry has its unique skills.

The singing voice can be called Chinese bel canto, and it pays attention to the three-cavity resonance, the face of the flower face, the fight of Wusheng, and the water sleeves of Tsing Yi ......On the world stage, China's Peking Opera has a wide range of content, rich and colorful, and its artistic achievements have made the world stage art community ashamed, Peking Opera is the precipitation and essence of Chinese traditional culture, representing the rigor and wisdom of the Chinese, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the treasure and essence of Chinese stage art.
