opera
As a long-standing traditional culture
It has been deeply affected for thousands of years
Everyone loves it
Many people can hum a few words casually
However, there is some knowledge of opera
Only "real drama fans" really understand
Let's take a look
The "Falling Share" in Opera
It's not a loss of face
In life, we call losing face and losing our identity "falling share", and sometimes we also say "losing part". In the opera industry, the "decline" is related to the salary of the actor.
In the old opera industry and other service industries, people's income was not calculated according to wages. At that time, the salary payment system was adopted as follows: the total income was divided into shares, which were paid according to the number of positions. Taking the drama team as an example, usually the class owner and the top card take a large share, and other members take the part according to the conditions of the job category and the first person, some people can get several copies, and some people can even get only half of the shares. Later, in the theater and service industries, a popular saying became that the "salary" that got enough was "enough"; the "wage" that did not get enough was "not enough".
Between the same kind of industry, there must be a large share and a small share, and the status is clear at a glance through the parts taken. Therefore, "share" has become a symbol of status and even face. Those who can get a full share of the "wage", if the "wage" rises, people call it "pulling up the share"; if the "wage" goes down, it means "falling".
"Calling boards" in opera
It's not about challenging people
In life, people like to call the challenge to people "calling the board". The "calling board" in the opera refers to the actor's singing voice to indicate the drum, and the following singing segment is what rhythm the board style. Calling the board is usually used in the opera of the slow plate, two or six plates, arrow plate, rolling board and other plate styles, its tune to the loose board, in order to make the performance more artistic, the actor in the last sentence of the confession to use the method of calling the board, or to the tone of the gesture, or with the action singing cavity to show, the drum brass will transfer the next singing section of the plate. It is precisely because of this that people will lead the call board out of the following and pick out the meaning of the new board as a provocation or challenge.
Not all children are boys
On the contrary, most of them are girls!
Most of the small students in the opera are young men, most of whom are doll students, poor students, fan students, yarn hat students, plume students, etc. The characteristics of Xiaosheng are not wearing a beard, and their appearance is generally relatively beautiful and handsome. "Female Xiaosheng" is a "Xiaosheng" role played by female actors, which is popularly speaking, which is also a manifestation of "women dressed as men" in traditional opera performances.
During the Period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the rise of military dramas, there were female actors who specialized in playing the roles of the teased soldiers and the teaser Canghu. During the Tang Dynasty, the people's customs were open, and gradually there were "famous characters" of actresses who opposed male actors, such as Liu Caichun, who was "good at making "Lu Join the Army" and singing through the clouds. With the maturity and development of opera, after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the atmosphere of male and female co-performances was greatly opened, and both men and women were emphasized, forming a brilliant group of female opera actors.
The "round field" in opera
You don't need to save it!
In our lives, we often see the scene of "playing the round field", "playing the round field" is a language behavior that starts from good intentions, uses specific words to ease tension and adjust interpersonal relationships, and has a positive meaning in daily life. But the "round field" in the opera is not this!
In opera, the circle field is the action form of the opera performance, and the route taken by the actor on the stage is in the shape of a circle, and the cycle repeats, called the circle field. The speed of the circle field is mostly from slow to fast, so it is also called running a round field. The circular field travel route can be divided into straight lines, horizontal lines, semi-arc circles, diagonal lines, circles, S-shapes, horizontal ∞ glyphs and so on.

The "head" of the pear garden line
But what about an emperor!
The book "Liyuan Yuan" says: "When Liyuan acted, the Ming Emperor (i.e., Tang Xuanzong) also played the role to hide his true face. In fact, in the era of Emperor Tang Ming, opera was not yet mature, but Emperor Tang Ming was very fond of music and dance, and was proficient in music, and he once selected three hundred tricksters to teach Fa qu in the pear garden of the northwest forbidden garden of the capital Chang'an, and hundreds of palace women were selected to study together in YichunYuan, and these people were known as "disciples of the emperor's pear garden". Later generations call opera artists "pear garden disciples", that is, they originated from this, so there is a saying that Tang Ming Emperor is the "head" of the pear garden line.
A combination of Chinese and Western opera
It's not a recent one!
Created in 1937, "Suolin Capsule" is a collection of Western opera elements, and it is also a representative work of the four famous DanCheng Yanqiu.
Generally speaking, the lyrics of Peking Opera are very regular seven words or a cross sentence, but Cheng Yanqiu asked Weng Yihong to write long and short sentences. For example, Xue Xiangling has the following lyrics in the fold of the garden: "This is also a lesson from God, he told me to accept residual hatred, avoid pampering, and renew myself, change my temperament, rest in love with the passing water, turn back from the bitter sea, and realize Lan Yin early." In the compromise of the three chairs, there is such a lyric: "In the car, I only feel that the sky is dark, the ears are heard, the wind is broken, the rain is noisy, the thunder is chaotic, the music is loud, the people are shouting, and it is a heavy rain." ”
This kind of sentence pattern is not available at all in traditional Peking Opera. According to the literary description and the needs of the characters, Cheng Yanqiu created a new voice that was depressed and staggered, and integrated the singing voice and the body together, so that the stylized performance was filled with real human emotions and amazing beauty.
