Xun Huisheng of the Interview of Mingling
Yu is now Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, a native of Dongguang, Hebei, whose original surname was 筍, but because his surname was cold and remote, he changed his surname to Xun. At the age of eight, that is, to learn drama, learn Qin cavity flower shirt, inspired by the old linggong Pang (1), nine years old to play Tianjin Xiatianxian, stage name Bai Peony, the first day to sing "Loyalty and Filial Piety Card", and later starred in Baoding, Shandong and other places, very popular.
Min San, critic Song Lezhi and old worker Li Xinfu, instigated the change of xi to play randomly, and vigorously claimed its interests, which was from Chen Tongyun to Hua Dan, which was changed from Qin to Yellow (2). In the same year, he starred in the box office of Hunan Guild Hall, sang "Rouge Tiger", and was praised by both insiders and outsiders, so he changed to the meaning of Pi Huang and decided, so he learned the qingyi Huadan opera from Lu Sanbao.
Minqi went to Shanghai, starred in the Yi stage and other places, until Min eleven returned to Beijing, starred in the enlightened, with Yang Xiaolou in the same class (3), Min XII, and then to Shanghai (4), Min THIRTEEN returned to Beijing, changed his name to Xun Huisheng (5), starred in the Xinming Theater, Yang Xiaolou and Yu Shuyan were in the same class. It was the winter of that year, went to Shanghai, and returned to Beijing on the fourteenth day of the people (6), and the new rehearsal of the whole book "Yutang Spring", which was the beginning of the rehearsal play, successively starred in Sanqing and Enlightened. Min fifteen winter, to Shanghai, min sixteen back to Beijing (7), last winter to Shanghai, starred in the Rongji big stage, to the fourth day of this month, Fang YuHu back (8), and now is scheduled to go to Tianjin on the twenty-first day, starring in the Zhongyuan Company's wonderful stage for four days, which is also the experience of acting over the years.
In the past ten years of drama, more zero-fold plays, truncated and tailed, so that the listeners, inexplicably, in the evolution of drama, there are obstacles. After Yu Zimin thirteen rehearsed the whole book "Yutang Spring", he knew the need for the whole drama in society, so he hired famous artists to search for secret books and rehearse the whole play. In the past six or seven years, more than twenty rehearsals have been made, such as "Xun Guanniang", "Embroidery Notes", "Yutang Chun", "Yuzao Palace", "Dan Qingyin", "Thirteen Sisters", "Proud Edge", "Horse Seller", "Pluto Phoenix", "Golden Bell Cover", "Lantern Riddle", "Buried Incense Illusion", etc., and annoyed the old worker Wang Boss Yao Qing, for Yu to say drama, and recently rehearsed a variety of new plays for Yu. Boss Wang is a famous resident in the lingjie, following the good inducements, and Yu benefits a lot. As for all kinds of Kunlu operas, they also hired famous teachers to guide them, and the play "Chunxiang Noisy Learning" was sung in Shanghai in the past, but in the tone of the character tone, due to lack of guidance, there were many distortions, and after returning to Beijing, the boss of cao Xinquan, an old worker, corrected yu, and had to be able to obey a little. As for the play "The Phoenix", it was also composed by Boss Cao, so the lyrics of the play were quite praised by the literati. Recently rehearsed various plays in Kunlu, in addition to the guidance of Boss Cao, and annoyed Mr. Chen Moxiang to play the score on his behalf. Mr. Chen is a contemporary songwriter, and he has also studied KunLu, and Yu zhi has benefited a lot.

"Xun Guan Niang"
"The Lantern Mystery"
Yu has a lot of feelings about the drama, and he can't say everything in a short time, but he not only accepts the question, but also does not dare not cite one or two to answer, and his details should be the day of his day. Most of the characters in the drama are driven by the performance on the stage, and the characters who make them play a certain foot color are always outside the laws of drama, such as the play "Hong Luan Xi", in the theory of plot facts, Jin Yunu's foot should be suitable for green shirts, Gai is determined not to be second, it is not possible for the characters played by Hua Dan, and the actors have always been decorated with Hua Dan, which is inconsistent with the laws of drama. Moreover, the words of the play are the language of the people in the performance, and the literary customs of the words should be determined by the identity of the person in the play. Jin Yunu is the daughter of a flower head, in terms of the society at that time, the atmosphere is closed, there is no such thing as a civilian girls' school, in the daughter of a monk, there is no opportunity and possibility to read and study, then the language she issued must not have the sentence of the literary algae chapter, the daughter of the flower head, so its drama words can not be too extravagant, and as for the complete distortion, but this is not only the play of "Hong Luan Xi", no matter what the play, can not escape this range also.

The Golden Bell Cover
As for the matter of painting, Gai Yu su sex, admiration for Han Mo, only to be out of school at an early age, long and limited to time, can not be distracted from research, only in addition to singing, the literati ask to learn, the beginning of a little knowledge, so from the thirteenth, the people will make a diary every day, the day's deeds, salty record, so far six years, has not been a day. Min Sixteen, because of the introduction of a friend, got to know the famous painter Mr. Hu Peiheng, so he learned to paint from Mr. Hu. Mr. Gong Shanshui, inheriting his ear and face life, gave guidance, and Yu Had to know the doorway a little. Graffiti, laughter and generosity, nothing more. Later, he rehearsed the new drama "DanQingyin" and painted on the stage, but he did not talk about it to embellish the plot ear, which was even more fallacious in the name of being able to paint, which was more embarrassing. The guest years are in Shanghai, the famous painter Mr. Wu Changshuo does not give up, and the peach and plum (9) are listed, which is enough to be tired of Mr. Wu's fame.
Early Painting (Dingu)
Yu Zi went to Shanghai in the winter, starred in the Rongji big stage, the popularity is still good, the general literati bachelor, and the princes of the public opinion circle, but also too much obedience. On the twenty-fourth night of last month, the whole book "Yutang Spring" was sung on the stage to commemorate the last day (10) of the parting ceremony, and the goodness of his attendance was unprecedented in the stage. Before eight o'clock, and the station has no gap, although the iron gate at the door has been closed, the visitors are still in an endless stream, noisy and noisy, no less than a hundred, and after the seats in the garden are full, add stools, the stools are finished, standing and watching, is a small hotel near the merchant, borrowing dozens of small square stools, staggering, sincerely for the rest of his life's honor. Yu He Rensi, the green eyes of the people on the Spring Shen, also regretted the grand intention of parting. From now on, Yu Zi will dare not encourage himself, strive for the progress of art, and do not live up to the grace of those who love Yu. After the performance of "Yutang Spring", Gu Qu still did not go, and Xian asked Yu to come out in casual clothes and thank Zhu GuQu for his grand intentions and bid farewell. At that time, GuQu people also asked Yu to leave the garden from the front desk, so from the crowd of people, a small road was divided, Yu Nai walked out of the small road, frequently thanked GuQu people, and the crowd cheered and applauded, which was one of the great memorials for Yu's life. On the 30th, Yu set off from Shanghai, took the pill to Qingdao, and took a ferry to Dalian. When the ship arrived at the Dalian wharf, the welcome was seen at the wharf, no less than a hundred and dozens of people, because they met each other, shook hands and thanked each other, but in the welcome, those who did not know, most of them, salty famous thorns to see gifts, then are well-known people from all walks of life in gentry and business. Yu Ben planned to change his wheel to return to the north on the same day, but each of them welcomed Xian Qiang to stay for one day, and the hospitality could not be ignored, so he left Dalian the next day, and after arriving in Tianjin, he did not dare to stay for a while, that is, he returned to Beijing by car, when it was the fourth day of this month.
Throughout his life, he treated others with discipline and only used the word "humble heart" as his motto. The wise man has a thousand worries, and there will be a loss, and the fool has a thousand worries, or will he have a gain, but if he does not learn and has no writing, he will not be able to learn? The great mortals in the world, not to be complacent, full is not only no progress, but also enough to invite misfortune, the book is not cloudy, "full of loss, humble benefit", Gai also clearly shows that our people are humble words also. Yu Yeling, for the theater industry, especially when there is respect for the elderly, compassion for the heart of orphans and children, the vices in the pear garden, the first is the big pressure, and the act of turning the scene, especially the most taboo of peers, so Yu acted in the drama, more than twenty years, with the pear garden colleagues, the feelings are quite good, the job is the reason. In yu contemptuous view, the pear garden should be most regarded as a gui, only the three words "do not turn the field", otherwise, there is no one who is not criticized by others. But if the remnant is reckless, or unconsciously, so that the sin is exonerated by the peers and all walks of life, but there is no intentional mistake, those who know the remnant will be able to forgive the remainder.

Xun Jun said this, the Xuan Lord intends to resign, suitable for the guest, Xun Jun introduced on his behalf, then for the Xuan Lord for more than ten years, the pen and ink god handed over To Mr. Chen Moxiang also. Because of their mutual admiration and their intentions, Chen Jun, seeing the same, invited Yu to sit down again and made the following remarks.
Yu (Chen Jun self-proclaimed) knows Huisheng, has been known for more than ten years, and knows a lot about Huisheng, and I will talk about it a little. Huisheng is brilliant and tireless in learning, and his views on drama are particularly pertinent, and his talk about drama words must be determined by the identity of the person in the play, and he can really get the three ambiguities in the principle of drama, and he is not as intelligent as Huisheng. To its humble intentions and not to be complacent, especially rare in the theater industry. Yu and juju have been friends for decades, and their ability to be humble and good scholars should be second to none. Yu Yu Kunqu, a little understanding of the doorway, Chenghui sheng asked, so he did not dare not tell wholeheartedly, do his best, and exchange ideas with each other, while Huisheng gave one example after another, progressed rapidly, and knew that there were those who were unexpected. As for Huisheng's drama, it is especially rare in pear orchards recently. This is not a word of yu admonition, but the inside and outside of the jun's inquiry, that is, it can prove that yu yan is not false. This trip to Shanghai, the results are good, and it is especially gratifying for Huisheng. Huisheng is rich and powerful, the future is immeasurable, and Yu steals wish huisheng not to give up on himself.
