According to reports, the exhibition is based on the relevant precious cultural relics and documents that show Mei Lanfang's artistic life, and fully displays Mei Lanfang's artistic creation in different historical periods with panoramic mirror images, so that the audience can feel the personal charm and moral demeanor of a generation of art masters at close range, and carefully taste the life feelings and spiritual strength contained in Mei Pai Peking Opera art works.
Mei Lanfang, whose ancestral home is Taizhou, was born in Beijing in 1894. He came from a famous family, learned from his family, and turned to many teachers, and was a pioneer of the emerging Danxing school in the early 20th century. Mei Lanfang's performance style is both rigorous and exquisite and beautiful, seemingly full of essence, but it contains a thousand brilliant ways: the singing song is exquisite, pure and full; the reading white is gentle and rounded, rigid and edgeless; the appearance is eclectic, to the wu cunjing. The Mei Lanfang art school he founded reversed the situation of "life-oriented" on the previous Peking Opera stage, and created a new era of "equal emphasis on life and dan", and industry experts competed to emulate it.
The exhibition is divided into 8 units, including "Qunying Spectrum Jingyun", "Mei Xiu Out of the Family", "Mei Zhan Hundred Flowers", "Mei Xin Yuxuan", "Mei Xiang Chuan Wanli", "Plum Bone Proud Of the Wind and Snow", "Plum Newspaper All Things Spring", "Mei Yun Exhibition New Sound" and so on. The objects on display are precious cultural relics and documents related to Mei Lanfang's artistic life, and include collections that have not been published for a long time.
The nearly 400 objects exhibited in this exhibition are precious cultural relics and documents related to Mei Lanfang's artistic life, including collections that have not been published for a long time. The audience can feast their eyes through this exhibition. Mei Lanfang, as a world-famous master of art in the 20th century, enjoys a high reputation all over the world. Through a large number of cultural relics and documents, the exhibition comprehensively presents his art and life.
In 1917, Mei Lanfang was named the "King of the Drama Industry", and mei Lanfang, who was known as the "People's Artist" after the founding of New China, was still awarded the honorary title of "Most Beautiful Strivers" in 2019, nearly 60 years after his death. From "The King of the Drama Industry" to "People's Artist" to "The Most Beautiful Strivers", Mei Lanfang's "Virtue and Art Double Xin" is truly deserved and deeply moving. This exhibition is a perfect interpretation of Mei Lanfang's noble moral qualities.
Mei Lanfang on the stage presents two images: "one is on display, one is being displayed." "Display" is the actor himself, full of oriental elegance of artistic creation, can taste the great beauty of song and dance transmission; "shown" is a theatrical character, there is a kind of "hidden" magic, the actor hidden in the interior of the drama character, into the color of hundreds of millions of characters, living on the stage. Actors can unite with the role, create a lively life with the vocabulary of programmed actions, and can "drag" themselves out of the character's body at any time, "look at themselves and their own performances with strange eyes", which is where the unique charm of Chinese Peking Opera and Chinese Opera lies.
In addition, as a pioneer in the overseas dissemination of Peking Opera art, Mei Lanfang has visited Japan, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries for many times, highlighting the unique value of Chinese opera art in the treasure house of world art, and making positive contributions to the exchange and mutual learning of Chinese and foreign civilizations. In 1959, Mei Lanfang gloriously joined the Communist Party of China, achieving a new leap in his life, and his art and life were more closely linked to the masses of the people.
