In Taoranting Park in the calm turquoise lakeside, there is an ancient pavilion between the lush trees: Qingyin Pavilion, Geng Qichang has liked this auspicious name since he was a child, hoping that his voice will always remain clear and bright, whenever he comes here, he always has infinite emotions, it is this beautiful scenery that accompanies his growth, that is, almost every day when he was in school at the Chinese Opera School, he came here with a few small classmates to practice and shout in the early morning mist. Geng Qichang was not born into the Liyuan family, but his parents living in old Beijing have a special love for Peking Opera, and his parents' habits also influenced his young son, and when he was ten years old, he had the honor of entering the high-profile Chinese opera school among more than 5,000 candidates to start his career in Liyuan.

When he was twelve years old, he performed the high-school famous drama "Yuanmen Chopper" taught by Teacher Chen Binyu and won the praise of his teachers and classmates, he was happy in his heart, Principal Shi Ruoxuan was more excited about his own pair of wise eyes and did not misread this batch of Thousand Mile Horses that were about to gallop in the drama world, since then he has become the top student in the class, ask lei Xifu and Xing Weiming to teach him to make the work drama "Four Soldiers" and "Qingfeng Pavilion", and ask Guan Dayuan to teach him to rely on tricks "Dingjun Mountain" and "Yangping Guan"; He asked Ru Fulan to teach him the Kunqu opera "Qilin Pavilion", asked Wang Lianping to teach him the Wu Lao Sheng play "Lotus Lake", and also specially invited Li He from the Beijing Opera House in China to teach him the high-school drama "Xiao Yaojin"; from Tianjin invited Guo Zhonglin, a violinist who was the owner of xiashan lou, to teach him the Tan Pai opera "Catch and Release Cao". There is a Yu Shuyan in his later years of the violinist Mr. Wang Ruizhi proficient in Yu Pai technology, pay attention to the exquisite carving of the singing cavity, and taught Geng Qichang the very scientific singing method of Mr. Yu Shuyan in that year, every day when hanging the voice always sing er huang first, then sing Xipi, first from low cavity to high cavity, and then from high cavity to low cavity, Geng Qichang's voice after such forging (training) refining, indeed leather is hard-working, almost no bad for decades, and has always maintained a six-character tone.

Geng Qichang's wife, Li Weikangde, is well-known at home and abroad, and this like-minded couple works together and improves together. In life, the couple have deep affection, the stage is a good couple, for decades together in the theater garden hard work, for the Chinese nation's national opera art has made a major contribution, indeed, the Sheng Dan drama they cooperated with can be said to be the best partner on the stage today, "Shilang Visiting Mother" is a loving couple, "Fenhe Bay" is a troubled couple, "Qin Xianglian" is a couple of wrongdoers, "En-Vendetta" is a lover, "Red Lantern" is a woman, "Daino" is a grandson, the two are really a pearl and complement each other. In 1993, they were invited to perform in Taiwan, and the Taiwanese media commented that like geng Qichang and Li Weikang, the voices of the two couples are beautiful, and it is difficult to see several people in the past hundred years, which is really super workmanship and super "Yutang Spring". The widespread praise did not stop Geng Qichang, and at that time, he recently pushed a new historical drama "Skinny Horse Royal Envoy" onto the stage, which received the attention and appreciation of the audience.

Geng Qichang he was admitted to the Chinese Opera School in 1958, to that time he has been engaged in peking opera art for more than forty years, these forty years of this peking opera art he feels that in this he is very fortunate that he met a lot of good teachers, these teachers are really very helpful to their own teaching, if there is no these gentlemen their careful cultivation of it, it can be said that there is no such thing as him today, because he himself as a talent of Peking opera art, he is not a talent, It's not that he is very smart, but he is using a kind of diligence to make up for it, that is, he has been studying and practicing for decades, that is, he has accumulated his own life experience and experience, and he has been learning from the teacher continuously, and these decades can be said to have been uninterrupted, so that although he was more than 50 years old at that time, but because he was more diligent, he could still participate in performances on the stage and maintain a certain artistic standard. In addition, he himself studied the Yu Sect, and this Yu Sect of Mr. Yu Shuyan, in his mind, the Yu Shuyan Yu Sect is the most authentic and of the highest level, and it can be said that it has the greatest influence on this old student in the next few decades. But learning Yu Pai, as they are now this person is particularly difficult, why, because Mr. Yu died very early, when he died Geng Qichang he was not yet born, he did not see his play, he only left eighteen and a half of this record, the other one of this video material, recording or whatever, not like now this such as learning Yang Pai, or Ma Pai, or Qiu Pai, etc. These gentlemen have a whole set of real frame recordings, videos, etc. There were also many gentlemen of the Horse School who were still alive (at the time), and it was easier to learn. Geng Qichang felt very difficult when he learned it, so he went from this to listen to his records, from this, from this article that he could touch and see, some of his articles, articles that introduced him, and like some old gentlemen who had seen him perform or had contact with him, he was an insider and a layman, and Geng Qichang was very careful to collect and collect his information. For example, if you meet some people who have seen his play, Geng Qichang will cling to it, just say that you watched this play when Mr. Yu was acting on stage, what kind of feeling he had, that is, he can only learn it this way. In addition, I also pay great attention to collecting things like Mr. Meng Xiaodong and Mr. Li Shaochun, that is, these and some materials of these Yu sects in the past, some of their feelings on the stage, ah, can only be like this, anyway, it is very difficult to learn. In addition, because this is not easy to learn, so it is to force him to be eclectic, let's say that these other factions, like the Tan faction, the Ma faction, the Yang faction, the Gao faction, the Xi faction, these other factions of course he also likes very much, he can only draw nourishment from these factions, the artistic characteristics of others, so in Geng Qichang's performance career, he has also acted in Gao Pai's "XiaoYaojin", and he has also acted in xi pai's "Burning Company Camp", so he just wants to form a kind of thing , is to take this style of The Yu Sect as the mainstay, and then absorb nutrition from other schools to form a kind of style that seems to be that this style is more obvious than the Yu School style, but it is not such a situation of dead learning, you say that he recorded this "XiaoYaojin" this time, this is a very famous play of the high school, he also liked it very much, he also acted. However, according to his conditions, he does not have a good voice like Mr. Gao Qingkui, and in addition, he feels that he is completely singing according to that kind of singing, and it is not particularly appropriate, but you can't sing that feeling, and it is not this drama, so geng Qichang, what method he uses, that is, he uses this oral method of the Yu school, and he pronounces words, and these Yu sects are these, because this singing method of the Yu school is very exquisite, and it retains its momentum with this cavity of the high school, but the spit words, Pronounce something using this method of Yu Pai, so that it feels as if it is more beautiful, as if it is more exquisite. But it does not lose its momentum, does not lose its taste.

In addition, you say that they perform this "Drama Phoenix", "Fenhe Bay" Ah, these plays, he is based on this singing voice of the Yu Sect, nian bai this, the performance method is mainly based on the Yu Pai, but you say that we mr. Ma Lianliang, his performance, his body, his recitation of this white is very, very good, so in this kind of play, this kind of performance, this kind of play, this kind of play, this kind of reading, he has absorbed a lot of Mr. Ma's demeanor, some of the methods of some actions of the body, ah, This colloquial thing of his recitation is to absorb a lot of this, a lot of his things. In this way, it sounds very natural, not to say this, of course, our rhyme white reading out is very imposing, but you like "Fenhe Bay" this kind of play it is to show the two people in the parents of this short, if you want to read very seriously, "Ah, Liu Shi you are good", this seems to be very straight, he gives people a feeling of nothing, just pick some ma Pai's natural this. He felt more natural, just like this kind of thing Geng Qichang, he was on the basis of this Yu Sect, he picked (selected) some of these and this stuff of the Ma Sect, he felt that the effect was still good.
