This is a list of plays in the 1980s when Tan Yuanshou and Yang Shaochun, a troupe of the Beijing Opera House, performed "Eight Sledgehammers". Yang Shaochun is the son of the famous martial arts student Yang Shengchun, who was the head of the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe for many years, and for many years sang the opening martial arts in front of Ma Lianliang and Tan Fuying, and often sang "Yanyang Lou" and "Zhan Wancheng" and other large axis plays. In July 1958, Yang Shengchun suddenly fell ill and lost his family, while Yang Shaochun was still studying at the Chinese Opera School. Ma Lianliang saw that the Yang family was very sympathetic and decided to transfer Yang Shaochun to the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe to replace his father and act while learning.
Soon, Yang Shaochun took to the stage to perform opening martial arts dramas such as "Three Forks" and "War Horse Chao", and also rehearsed "Nezha Noisy Sea". Yang Shaochun is very popular in the troupe, several big top cards want him to give him a mat for his own play, Zhao Yanxia said, "Others can't do it, they have to give me a pad play." Ma Tanqiu and other big names had to let her. Under the promotion of his predecessors, Yang Shaochun made great progress in his art, and later played the role of Zhao Yun in "The Heroes of the Crowd" starring Ma Tanqiu, and performed on the same stage with the masters. Zhao Yanxia led the rehearsal of the new play "Ye Hanyan", Hua Yun's role was originally a small student, and it was deliberately changed to Yang Shaochun to play, so that he could improve in shaping the new role. Once the four top performers "The Orphan of Zhao", Ma Changli was on leave due to illness, and temporarily decided that Yang Shaochun would play Han Yue instead, and Ma Lianliang called him to his home to give him a detailed explanation, and finally performed successfully. Ma Lianliang repeatedly told him: "Some plays and some roles, you should pay more attention to studying, don't be too late to come in handy when the time comes."
Of course, Yang Shaochun also made mistakes on the stage, once Zhao Yanxia starred in "Proud Edge", the martial arts actor who played Lang's second uncle suddenly fell ill, and Yang Shaochun volunteered to save the scene. There is a dialogue between Di Yunluan (played by Zhao Yanxia), the ugly boy, and the second uncle of Lang, because he is not familiar with the words, he was stunned on the stage, and the girl quickly said: "Second uncle, what is wrong with you?" Zhao Yanxia was anxious at the side, and also reminded: "Yes, uncle, you think." Still no response, seeing that the audience could not sit still, Zhao Yanxia immediately called out, "Uncle." Gong and drum Huqin immediately followed, and quickly picked it up with a singing. After coming down, Zhao Yanxia jokingly said, "My uncle, you want my life!" Later, the role was played by him.
In 1963, the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe went to Hong Kong to perform, Yang Shaochun picked the Wusheng Liang, and several martial arts dramas were all undertaken by him, and the Hong Kong audience knew this wusheng rookie. In the 1980s, Yang Shaochun cooperated with Tan Yuanshou and Ma Changli in the Beijing Peking Opera Theater Troupe for many years, which was well received by the audience. Later, Tan Yuanshou entrusted his grandson Tan Zhengyan to Yang Shaochun, saying, "The text (drama) belongs to me (teaching), and the martial (drama) belongs to you ." So Yang Shaochun has been talking about martial arts to Xiao Tan.
