What does Shengdan mean and what does Shengdan Jingug mean?

The origin of the names of opera characters has always been disputed. A more common saying is: "Sheng, Dan, Purity, and Ugliness" are named after "metaphors", which is actually a very old legend, as early as the era of miscellaneous dramas and legends.

However, the fallacy has already been pointed out at this point. For example, the Ming Dynasty writer Zhu Zhishan said in "Hedgehog Talk": "Sheng, Jing, Dan, and the last names are said to be the opposite, or they are entrusted to Tang Zhuangzong, which are all fallacious."

Born is a man, Dan is said to be a man, Dan is said to be a Dan color, pure is said to be a pure child, the end is said to be the end of the mud, and the lonely is an official, that is, its soil sound, what is the righteousness? This clearly negates the notion that opera characters are "anaphysical".

Let's start with "life". Zhu Zhishan said: "Born is a man.

It's simple, but it makes sense. Mr., Hou Sheng, Confucian Sheng, Zhang Sheng, Li Sheng, etc., where the original meaning of "sheng" is not all a title for men? Some people may think that this is too simple and ordinary, and insist on investigating the mysteries, and as a result, some far-fetched claims are born.

Let's talk about "Dan" again. People often wonder why women on stage are called "dan". Drama historian Zhou Yibai believes that the word "Dan" evolved from the word "sister".

The order is that there is "sister" first, and "sister" is changed to "da" (in the Song miscellaneous dramas, there are "Old Lonely Dispatch", "Double Selling Da", "Ragged Shop Xiuda", "Da" is all "sister", and then "Da" is simply written as "Dan" (Jin Yuanyuan has "Dan Judgment Lonely" and "Sour Lonely Dan", and the original "Old Lonely Da" has become "Old Lonely Dan") (see Zhou Yibai's "Collected Treatises on Chinese Opera"). "Sister" has always been a title for women, and since "Dan" is a slander of "sister", it is easy to understand that "Danjiao" specializes in women.

Let's talk about "net" again. Yuanren Ke Danqiu believes that "clean" is the falsification of "beauty". He explained:

Fu Fanmo offered a smile to confess, pink, white and green, the ancient name of the beautiful dress, and now the vulgar is pure. "Net" with a face, it is indeed pink, white and green, in line with the meaning of "beautiful", Ke Danqiu's statement is reliable.

Speaking of "ugly", in fact, there is no need to explain, it is nothing more than relative to "handsome". Aren't people often saying "ugly" and "handsome"? Although the characters played by "Harlequin" are not all bad guys, most of them have to smear a piece of white powder on the bridge of their noses, and their image is ugly after all.

The four major professions of Peking Opera, such as "sheng", are: small sheng, old sheng, martial arts .........

It can be understood as a variety of faces.

Shengdan Jingchou represents the four roles, Sheng represents, Lao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, and Wu Sheng. Dan represents the female characters, Lao Dan, Xiao Dan, that is, Tsing Yi and Hua Dan. Net represents the flower face, which is divided into singing skills is the big flower face, and the performance of kung fu is the second flower face, and the ugly represents the harlequin, referring to the ugly character.

The roles referred to by Sheng Dan Jing Mo Chou are as follows:

1. Shengzhi is a kind of profession that plays the role of a male, including several categories, such as old students, small students, martial artists, red students, and dolls. Except for Hongsheng and Wusheng, who have a face painted on their faces, the general Shengxing is plain-faced, and their appearance is relatively clean and handsome.

2. Dan refers to Dan Xing, which plays a variety of female roles of different ages, different personalities and different identities, which are divided into seven categories: Zhengdan, Huadan, Wudan, Daomadan, Lao Dan, Caidan, and Huashan.

3. Net refers to the net line, commonly known as the flower face or flower face, which generally plays a male role, showing a rough, strange and heroic character in character and temperament, which can be divided into positive and pure, vice-net and martial net.

4. The end refers to the last line, playing the role of middle-aged and above men, most of whom have beards, and are subdivided into old students, old students, and foreigners. The role played by the old student is mainly a middle-aged man with a positive character, and the last generally plays a middle-aged man with a smaller role than the old student in the same play, and the foreigner generally plays the role of an elderly man.

5. Ugly refers to ugly behavior, also known as small flower face and three-flower face. Including Wen Chou and Wu Chou, Wen Chou plays a clever and funny or sinister and cunning role, and Wu Chou plays a shrewd and capable heroic and humorous hero.
