Original title: Watching the drama in the New Year, the "City of The Two Olympics , Seeing the Classic" arrived as promised

In China, in Beijing, there has always been a tradition of listening to Peking Opera during the Spring Festival. On February 1st, on the first day of the Chinese New Year Festival, in the first interactive display activity of the 2022 Beijing News Center "City of The Two Olympics and Watching the Dian", Liu Tong, president of the Beijing Opera House, Du Zhenjie, the leading actor of the Beijing Opera House and the old famous artist Du Zhenjie, the leading actor, the meipai Qingyi famous artist Zhang Huifang and the famous Jinghu artist Ai Bing came to the scene to tell the audience about the relationship between Peking Opera art and Spring Festival culture, the story of Peking Opera going out, the practice of national essence inheritance and Peking Opera innovation, and spent the Chinese New Year Festival with the audience in the Beijing Cavity.

Peking opera is an important expression of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and many artistic elements are regarded as symbols of traditional Chinese culture. Liu Tong believes that because Peking Opera is such a happy, advanced art that can show and inherit the excellent culture of the Chinese nation, "watching a big drama in the New Year" is being recognized and welcomed by more and more citizens, and has become the first choice for their literary and artistic activities during the festival. Moreover, with the chinese Spring Festival culture in recent years more and more attracted the world's attention and favor, even abroad there are many audiences willing to watch Peking Opera in this way to feel the taste of China's New Year: "For example, the United States, Finland and other countries, every Chinese New Year held every Chinese New Year has lasted for many years. There, watching dramas in the New Year has become a very beautiful scenery, and has also formed a very good trend of cultural exchange inheritance and promotion. ”

At the event site, Ai Bing used Jinghu to play a soothing and leisurely "Hillside Sheep". Jinghu is the main accompaniment instrument of Peking Opera, its sound is strong and crisp, and its recognition is extremely strong, and it is known as "the business card of Peking Opera". Ai Bing also introduced to the audience the story of Jinghu's innovation in the integration with symphony and pop music in recent years, such as the recent Winter Olympic Beijing Song "Together to the Future" launched by the Beijing Opera House, and the large-scale Peking Opera Symphony Suite "Beijing Grand Canal" "Overture" jointly performed with the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, which is an example of cooperation between Jinghu and different musical forms, and its results are refreshing, sought after and concerned by all walks of life. Ai Bing said that although Jinghu has a distinct tone, this does not affect its strong compatibility: "Jinghu cooperates with a variety of different music genres, and the style displayed is also different, with different tastes and different feelings. It can be said that we can not only feel the unique charm of Jinghu under the traditional preparation, but also enjoy its unique beauty in cooperation with other music genres. Traditional seeds have roots. ”

Behind the increasing entry of Peking Opera into the lives of citizens, what is highlighted is the inheritance of Peking Opera in Beijing. This inheritance is not only an innovation of the original repertoire, but also the protection of traditional bone old dramas. For example, in order to realize the inheritance of Peking Opera to keep pace with the times, the Beijing Peking Opera House launched the "Dream Hunting Chengze" project, excavating and staging many traditional peking operas, continuing these classic works that have been handed down through the ages.

Du Zhenjie said that "Dream Hunting" is to pursue the dream of the revival of national art, and "Chengze" is to inherit the cultural grace of the predecessors, so the purpose of the "Dream Hunting Chengze" project is to retrieve the classics left by the predecessors, and then through the performance and production of excellence, let the play return to the stage.

Most of these "old bone plays" have been away from the stage for many years, and they will be cold when they first perform, but Peking Opera is after all a kind of "horn" art, and if it is performed persistently, some cold plays can also be performed hotly: "For example, "Zhu Curtain Village" and "Su Wu Mu sheep", all of which were relatively rarely performed before. After our recovery, we gradually made them hot, and now there are many young actors who are also performing," Zhang Huifang said.

In the subsequent interactive session, Du Zhenjie and Zhang Huifang brought excerpts from "Silang Visiting Mother" and "Sitting in the Palace", "Red-Maned Horse" and "Su Long Wei Hu for Media Evidence", etc., and then opened a live teaching of Peking Opera body performances, so that the media reporters of the Beijing News Center in 2022 had a "close contact" with Peking Opera art, interpreting the profound connotation of "art without borders".

It is worth mentioning that the "City of the Two Olympics • Kandian" is an important interactive display activity of the 2022 Beijing News Center. The activity will last from February 1 to February 20, the large screen in the venue will play the image of Beijing city in a loop, and organize interview live broadcast activities every day, in the form of "one theme a day, one picture and one story" pictures and interviews, reflecting the big theme with small incisions, refracting the big times with small stories, each interview live broadcast activity carefully planned the theme of social and media concerns, and set hot topics around the theme, invited relevant guests and practitioners to tell humanistic Beijing, science and technology Beijing from the perspective of the people, The vivid story of Green Beijing shows the latest and most beautiful and best image of Beijing city. During the operation of the news center, the live interview activities will vividly depict the microcosm of Beijing's political, economic, social, cultural, ecological and other aspects of construction achievements and development achievements.
