It is recommended that friends who are new to Peking Opera (just like building a house) should take three steps.
[Rest assured to click on it, the text is very short, and it only takes up a few seconds of your time.] 】
The first step is the main building, commonly known as the cylinder. This is the basis for singing a good scene. Mainly grasp the pitch, plate eye (also called beat) and air port. Don't be bothered by the tune, the tune of Peking Opera is alive and easy for people. For example, Yang Baosen, a master of flower faces, sang the second yellow flat E in his later years. In a word, it is to sing it right.
The second step, decoration, is the most difficult step to do. Including the characteristics of the genre, the resonance of the chest cavity, nasal cavity, head cavity, fast and slow, strength and weakness, articulation of words to rhyme, upper words, sharp words, etc., must be put into a lot of effort. In a word, it is to sing it well.
The third step is that after the house is built and repaired, it is necessary to insist on permanent residence and maintenance. This is also very important, if you can't learn a paragraph, you won't sing, and you will attack a new paragraph, and you will become a bear breaking a stick. If you don't learn the new paragraph, and you forget the old paragraph, you won't give up all your efforts. In addition, the process of singing familiar jokes, like students doing homework, is also a process of consolidating and improving and correcting faults, which must not be ignored. In other words, it is to sing it well.
The above three points are a little experience of learning Peking Opera Xi, and I would like to encourage them with junior opera fans and friends. Let's learn from each other and improve together.
In the future, I will also post some small articles on Peking Opera and Jinghu, and if you are interested, please pay attention to it to facilitate communication.
Thank you for reading!
