This article will explore the history of Peking Opera art for more than 200 years, and focus on the Tan family, an influential family in the Peking Opera industry.
From Tan Zhidao to Tan Zhengyan, the Tan family has been passed down for seven generations and witnessed the development of Peking Opera art, including two masters, Tan Xinpei and Tan Fuying. This article will introduce the legendary stories of the two generations of Tan Xiaozeng and Tan Zhengyan, showing their unique charm in the art of Peking Opera.
Tan Xiao was once a first-class actor in the Beijing Peking Opera, he has excellent acting skills and stage expression, but because of his voice problems, he has relatively few opportunities to star in the repertoire.
However, despite being limited by his voice, Tan Xiao once showed extraordinary acting skills with his talent and perseverance.
He skillfully plays various opera roles, and is instantly able to integrate himself into the characters, allowing the audience to feel the charm of Peking Opera art. Tan Zhengyan, as the successor of Tan Xiaozeng, is also an actor who is not willing to be ordinary.
Although compared with Tan Xiaozeng, Tan Zhengyan's voice conditions are not outstanding, he has gradually broken the boundaries of tradition by constantly honing his acting skills and performance style, showing a unique performance style. Tan Zhengyan not only inherited the spirit of the Tan family, but also injected new vitality into the art of Peking Opera through his own efforts and innovation.
The article mentioned that the voice is very important for Peking Opera veterans. The quality of the voice directly affects the actor's performance on stage and the audience's recognition of his role.
However, using Tan Hyo-zeng and Tan Zheng-yan as examples, we can see that voice is not the only factor that determines an actor's success. Although their voice conditions among their peers are relatively average, they can still make a difference with talent and hard work.
As a family in the Peking Opera industry, the Tan family's aura may have made them recognized, but it cannot make them out of the competition of actors of the same generation.
Each generation of Tan family members has proven their worth through their own efforts and talents.
It is this spirit of family inheritance that has enabled the art of Peking Opera to flourish and become a treasure of traditional Chinese culture. Summary: The inheritance of the seven generations of the Tan family has witnessed the development of Peking Opera art, and Tan Xiaozeng and Tan Zhengyan, as two of them, each show the unique charm of Peking Opera art.
Although their vocal conditions are relatively average, they can still stand out on stage with their talent and hard work. It also sends us an important message that talent and perseverance are the most important factors in the field of art, and that aura and family background are just a plus.
