The art of opera, have you really come to an end?

No, I'm just listening to the commentary, it's good.

The first one is for the gods. The last one is for ghosts and the like; As soon as the last scene ended, I left immediately because I wanted to sweep the stage, and there would be an actor wearing a mask to praise on the stage.

For several hundred years, in traditional Chinese rural society, the most common and high-level form of cultural entertainment was to invite opera groups to sing big operas, and opera was the most important channel for Chinese people's life entertainment, cultural dissemination, and spiritual education.

My grandmother, born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, was in that"A woman's lack of talent is virtueIn the traditional society, I naturally don't know a few big words, but whenever I tell me about the old family and the story of the village, I can always quote historical allusions or opera stories, and render them by analogy, which makes the ordinary stories much more vivid and profound. It can be said that the historical knowledge and life ethics of their generation owe a large part to the subtle evolution of the art of opera.

The most popular in Shanxi are Pu Opera, Qin Opera, and Henan Opera, but especially the first two operas. Pu Opera and Qin Dialect, both of which have the nickname of "random playing", sing in a high and urgent tone, and the voice is dry. However, for the township party members who grew up on this land, Qin dialect and Pu opera are undoubtedly the most upscale and beautiful art forms in the world.

In all villages where conditions permit, the most popular practical thing for the villagers to do every year is to invite a regular troupe to perform in the village. This time is tantamount to a festival in the countryside.

The people in the village notified their relatives and friends in the neighborhood early and invited them to ** when the time comes, and they all think that this is a very glorious show-off. A large classroom in our village primary school usually holds classes, but when there is a performance, the door panel is removed and it becomes a big stage. The large playground under the classroom is full of Taishi chairs, benches, and small pestles that occupy seats.

Some people have many relatives in the neighboring villages, so they simply bring two wooden rafters, one stone and one brick on both sides, and can sit on more than a dozen people.

Once, because I was fighting for space with a neighbor's child, I smashed the back of a black lacquered Taishi chair. But at that time, the rural customs were simple, and the adults thought it was a normal fight between children, so they were not overly harsh.

Looking back now, the Taishi chair is an old piece of furniture inherited from their family, and it is worth a lot of money now. In addition to preparing seats for relatives, each family has to bring out their new bedding and leave some relatives and elders in distant places to stay overnight. At this time, it is a critical time for relatives to exchange feelings and for younger generations to respect their elders.
