Between Beijing's Qianmen Avenue and Caochang Hutong, there is a little-known, 400-year-old ancient building called the Pigment Hall. For a long time, the Paint Hall seemed to be "frozen age", quietly watching the traffic and people in the functional core area of the capital, and it was difficult to have a "chance" to serve people again.
Recently, the Paint Hall has suddenly become a popular punch card for the citizens of the capital. Dongcheng District of Beijing has re-injected new artistic life into the century-old building by creating a "guild hall with drama" performing arts matrix.
On the evening of April 22, the folding drama of Hebei Zizi's "Huaya Canal" and "Lu Hua Dang" was brilliantly staged in the Paint Guild Hall, allowing the guild hall, which has a history of more than 400 years, to pass through the dust of history and reproduce the former fanghua.
"Huaya Canal" takes the "Grand Canal Cultural Belt" as the link, relies on the historical background of the "Huaya Controversy" in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and reproduces a tragic song of Pear Garden through the personal experience of the famous character of the Qin Cavity class "Yuan Xiaowei". "Lu Hua Dang" is through the classic famous passage of Zhang Fei's pre-ambush of Lu Hua Dang in the Three Kingdoms period, leading the audience into the three-legged beacon era.
Or sonorous and powerful, or bass gentle, the ancient opera singing voice in the pigment hall simple and elegant, carved beams and paintings in the architectural style of the most "original" highlight, with rigid and soft moderate lighting effects, full of aesthetic artistic conception.
The cast and crew of the Beijing Performing Arts Group, who participated in the performance, told reporters that the performance at the Paint Hall brought a new attempt to literary and art workers. Everyone walks into the old building, they are all in awe, and feel that it is very rare to realize the collision of ancient and modern, flowers and elegance, canals and opera here, and we must perform the play well.
The most beautiful April day on earth, the spring breeze with a smile willow like smoke. Stroll through the home of the Paint Hall - Dongcheng SanliHe, but see flowers blooming into the sea, water through the streets, green willows, hutong blocks, courtyard buildings and natural environment infiltration and integration, "water through the streets" and "courtyard people" to bring tourists a unique feeling of being in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan.
Before that, it was about how to make visitors have a more immersive cultural experience, rather than simply taking a walk and taking photos and going home?
Dongcheng District has done a lot of thinking and real effort.
It is understood that since October last year, Dongcheng District has focused on the characteristics of the guild hall, realized the overall appearance of the Pigment Hall, Linfen Guild Hall and Taiwan Guild Hall, launched the "Charm new national style" series of performances 28 times, songs, music, folk music, magic, acrobatics, commentaries, Hebei Zizi, opera and other wonderful programs have been staged in turn, causing a warm response in the capital's art circles.
In February this year, Dongcheng District also issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Construction of "Guild Hall with Drama"", focusing on the construction of historical and cultural essence display sites, advanced cultural trend leading places, creative cultural industry demonstration sites, multicultural blending and symbiosis sites, and focusing on creating a well-known performing arts area with "guild halls with plays" to push the construction of "guild halls with plays" to a new height.
The theater building did not know where to go, and the peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze. The building of the guild hall is varied, the culture of the guild hall is all-encompassing, and the humanistic heritage, spiritual values and style of the times reflect the heavy cultural strength and exude a unique temperament taste.
Meet Ya and taste the charm and elegance of the Centennial Hall. Some experts believe that the introduction of "small and beautiful", "small and fine" and "small and elegant" performances that fit the characteristics and historical characteristics of the performing arts can not only trigger the audience's historical and cultural thoughts, but also show the beauty of the art era, and it is also a useful exploration to create "grounded gas", "dewdrops" and "temperature" literary and artistic works, and enhance people's sense of cultural acquisition and happiness.
