"Living Cao Cao"
Hou Xirui
Once, the budding Peking Opera shelf flower face Yuan Shihai performed in Tianjin, met Hou Xirui, inadvertently called out a "brother shi", Mr. Hou was not impressed, immediately stared at the public to teach Yuan Shihai: "Tell you, according to the rules of the insider, you have to call me 'sir', if you are a layman, call me 'Mr. Hou'." What kind of brother? I don't dare to climb high with you as a disciple!" Of course, this was very embarrassing to Yuan Shihai. In fact, in other people, it may be put up with, Mr. Hou is not, the scene expenses, temper and disposition, this is Hou Xirui, which shows his admiration and seriousness for moral etiquette.
In the Qin Cavity Circle, there are also such things, such as the "heart disease" between Liu Yiping, who is famous and bearded, and Liu Yuzhong, who is a member of the decline faction. When Liu Yiping studied art in the Qin Zhongshe hosted by Liu Lijie and Liu Yuzhong's father and son, Liu Yuzhong was already the lead actor and coach, needless to say that Liu Yiping had to call Liu Yuzhong "Mr." or "Teacher", but in the early 1940s, Liu Yiping became famous and became a family, and his ace play "Yuanmen Chopper" could not only win the seat, but also hung the title of "from Lan back to Shaanxi, Susheng Taidou", the momentum was really impressive, and liu Yuzhong was called "big brother" in Xi'an! Liu Yuzhong was unhappy, but did not have a confrontation. Until the 1952 National Opera Performance, Er Liu played the fisherman Hu Yan and Jiang Xia Zhi County Tian Yunshan in "You Gui Shan", because of these two roles in this play, liu Yuzhong played Hu Yan before playing Tian Yunshan double performance, so the newspaper had "Liu Yuzhong in order to promote the latter, gave tian Yunshan a role to his student Liu Yiping" Yunyun, Liu Yiping took the newspaper to Liu Yuzhong, said: "I am a student of our uncle (referring to Liu Lijie), why does this newspaper say that it is your student?" Liu Yuzhong had been hiding in the fire for many years, and finally had the opportunity to spit out, so he said: "People want to say this in the newspaper, and it is not what I said, that is, you are my student, and you are not insulted!" Didn't I teach you "The Escape"? "Lewis plane to the facts, naturally speechless.
The above two cases, the situation is similar, but the situation is different, quite intriguing. However, Liu Yiping and Yuan Shihai, after all, have passed the people, not only recognized the account at that time, but also changed their mouths in the future, "big brother" changed to "Yu Lao", "brother shi" changed to "Mr.", each other's peace of mind, friendship is always there. I feel that for "salutation", the performing arts industry seems to be less rigorous than the academic community, and the Qin cavity circle seems to be less than the norms of the Peking Opera circle, showing the difference in the degree of civilization and cultural upbringing. Like ignoring seniority and referring to it as "brother" in general, it can be regarded as a bad habit. Because many "brothers" and "brothers", regardless of their age or age, are not a generation at all, obviously out of style. This was especially true in the special years, when some trainees who had just stepped out of the threshold of the training class, because of the "revolutionary rebellion," immediately changed their faces and called their teachers "Lao Wang" and "Lao Zhang" all face-to-face matters, and some simply called them by their first names, and even used vicious words to each other, fists and feet. It is no wonder that many of them have not grown much in their artistic deeds, "top-heavy and shallow", which may have some internal connection with the rapid rise of generations and the momentum of the impact, fortunately, the regrettable years have passed for decades, and I hope that such poisons can be gradually dissolved.
