A special existence of the Peking Opera "Male Dan" is that men play female roles, which has both historical and artistic reasons.
First of all, the historical reason is that feudal social ideology is imprisoned, and women will not go to the theater to see the play, let alone sing on stage. Secondly, for artistic reasons, men are indeed stronger than women in portraying women, and they are more physically energetic.
However, "Male Dan" was also a bit too deep in the drama at the beginning, otherwise there would not have been the saying of "Xianggong Tangzi", so later Mei Lanfang and other Peking opera masters were keen to reform.
However, this has changed, and many people think that "male Dan" is feminine, which is narrow and wrong. Of course, this is also related to some Peking Opera actors.
Wang Yinqiu is a famous Peking Opera performance artist, Gongdanjiao, Zongcheng Pai, and the famous Peking Opera master Cheng Yanqiu. Although Wang Yinqiu studied art with Master Cheng Yanqiu for many years, he lacked the flamboyant personality of Master Cheng Yanqiu, so much so that he performed a small family on the stage, which had a lot to do with his personality.
In his later years, Wang Yinqiu was killed by Qinghua at home, and the reason for this was also a matter of divergent opinions.
Hu Wenge's famous Peking Opera actor, Gongdan Jiao, Zong Mei Pai, and the famous Peking Opera performance artist Mei Baojiu.
Although Hu Wenge is the third generation of Mei Pai Male Dan, he also has many shortcomings, his pronunciation is problematic in art, and his appearance and body are even more difficult to describe.
Hu Wenge is now in his forties but has never married, and although his mentor Mei Baojiu once intended to match him and Wang Peiyu, he did not succeed.
And it is precisely because of this that there are many theories about the reason why Hu Wenge has not yet been married.
