At the 2022 CCTV Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger, which was unveiled yesterday, a group of primary school students appeared in the opera program "Endless Pear Garden Love", they are children from a small "little plum blossom" Peking Opera Troupe in Zhongguancun, Haidian District.
Yesterday, a small official public account in Zhongguancun also specially shared the New Year greetings sent by this group of Kwai Garden drama dolls who will appear at the Spring Festival Gala: The Year of the Tiger has arrived, I wish everyone good luck, joy, and good luck to the dragon and tiger!
According to CCTV news, before the Spring Festival Gala performance, CCTV reporter Wang Bingbing interviewed a small mengwa in Zhongguancun in the backstage of the studio.
Wang Bingbing, reporter of the main station: I found a group of small cute babies again, this group of children from Zhongguancun, will be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time today. In the opera section, they will present you with a fragment of the modern drama "Wise Tiger Mountain". Look at their posture has been set up, people are small, the voice is really good. These children are very good from their voices to their bodies, including the expressions on their faces. I heard that their average age is only 9 years old, what innovations will their show have today?
Teacher of a small Peking Opera Troupe in Zhongguancun: I think the biggest innovation in this year's opera section is that children can perform with the older artists, reflecting the inheritance of traditional culture and national essence. The children's performance clips are selected from "Wise Tiger Mountain", and they also integrate the performances of the body, such as the ski warriors of the Linhai Snow Field.
Wang Bingbing asked about the children, "Did you tell the students around you about the Spring Festival Gala this time?" ”
The children who participated in the scene said that they did not tell the classmates around them and hoped to surprise them when they arrived.
As the saying goes, a thousand families sing at the end of the day of life, sing and do ten years of work. A small "Little Plum Blossom" Peking Opera Troupe in Zhongguancun has been rated as the Beijing Jinfan Peking Opera Troupe since 2011 and has gone through more than 10 spring and autumn seasons. Jinfan is the window of art education in Beijing, representing the highest artistic standards of primary and secondary school students in Beijing.
One minute on stage, ten years offstage. Magnificent scenes, beautiful dances... All of this is inseparable from the hard work of each member. The youngest of the actors of the Jinfan Peking Opera Troupe is seven years old, and the oldest is only twelve years old, and the children hum on the stage the essence of condensed rhythm, full of rich Beijing rhyme; offstage, they practice repeatedly, making every movement standard and singing every note accurately.
In order to popularize traditional culture and make the charm of the national essence deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Yixiao has also specially created "Pear Garden Alley" and "National Pavilion", so that children can immerse themselves in the cultural corridor, understand Peking Opera, practice Peking Opera, and love Peking Opera. There are two rehearsal halls, a classroom, two opera costume rooms and a reference room in Liyuan Alley and Guo pu Pavilion. Children learn Peking Opera here and master the relevant knowledge of Chinese opera; in the rehearsal hall, they leave behind the figure of diligent and hard work, flying feet, front bridge, clean and neat; water sleeves, long silk, swaying posture; singing, performance, vocal emotion; on the stage, they interpret life, dan, purity, ugliness, complete, singing, reading, doing, playing, everything proficient. In Peking Opera, there is knowledge everywhere, every sentence is learning, and everything is kung fu, where every student can find a suitable industry and role.
"Be the best me" is the core value choice of Zhongguancun First Primary School. The process of training and performing in the Peking Opera Troupe is also the process of every child practicing "be the best of me", the concept of the Peking Opera Troupe is "learn to sing Peking Opera, first learn to be a person", from which the children feel the essence of the Confucian "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, faith", get the influence of art, and feel the charm of China's excellent traditional culture.
