Back then, relying on the song "New, Gui, Concubine, Drunk, Wine", Li Yugang quickly became popular all over the country.
On the Chinese art scene, high-profile star Li Yugang has become a highlight with his unique style of anti-string performance. However, his relationship with Meipai Peking Opera has always attracted much attention. As the youngest son of Mr. Mei Lanfang and the head of the Mei School of Peking Opera, Mei Baojiu was critical of Li Yugang's performance style and propaganda slogans, and did not forgive Li Yugang even before his death. This article will explore the beginning and end of the feud between Li Yugang and Meipai Peking Opera, and the impact of this entanglement on both sides.
One: Li Yugang's popularity and propaganda slogan
Li Yugang became popular on the stage of the Avenue of Stars with his unique anti-string performance style. He skillfully blends opera, pop songs and dance to bring a new visual enjoyment to the audience. However, his propaganda slogan "Mei Lanfang alive" caused Mei Baojiu's dissatisfaction. He believes that the slogan is overblown, that it misleads the audience and makes people feel that it is an irresponsible statement.
Two: Mei Baojiu's opposition and Li Yugang's response
Mei has always been critical of Mr. Li's performance style and propaganda slogans. He believes that Li Yugang's performance has nothing to do with the real Mei School Peking Opera, and is even somewhat frivolous and disrespectful of traditional arts. Li Yugang, on the other hand, believes that his performance is an innovation and inheritance of traditional arts, and is not completely out of the scope of Meipai Peking Opera. The differences between the two sides have led to a deepening of the feud.
Three: the controversy of fans and the pressure of public opinion
With the popularity of Li Yugang, his fans have increased, and the controversy about him and Meipai Peking Opera has become more and more intense. Some fans believe that Li Yugang is the inheritor of Meipai Peking Opera and deserves more recognition and respect. While other fans believe that he is too commercial and deviates from the essence of traditional art. This controversy and public pressure have further strained the relationship between the two sides.
Fourth, the importance of inheritance and innovation
Despite the entanglement between Li Yugang and Meipai Peking Opera, it is undeniable that his performance style does inject new elements and vitality into the traditional arts. Between heritage and innovation, artists need to find a balance between respecting the essence of traditional art while daring to experiment with new forms of expression and style. Only in this way can traditional art radiate new vitality in contemporary society.
5. The trade-off between personal emotions and artistic disputes
In the grievances between Li Yugang and Meipai Peking Opera, the trade-off between personal emotions and artistic battles has also become the key. Li Yugang's artistic innovations and attempts may be a challenge and breakthrough to traditional art, but his behavior may sometimes touch the emotional bottom line of some people. As the head of the Mei School of Peking Opera, Mei Baojiu's adherence to traditional art and the maintenance of the family's reputation are also reasonable. In this feud, both parties have influenced their judgment and decision-making on art because of their personal feelings.
Looking back on the whole entanglement, the grievances between Li Yugang and Meipai Peking Opera have become a topic of great concern in the art world. Despite the differences and controversies between the two sides, this entanglement also allows us to see the dilemmas and contradictions in the development of traditional art in contemporary society.
I think future artists should strive to find a better balance between heritage and innovation. The charm of traditional art lies in its historical accumulation and classics, but only by advancing with the times and innovating and changing can it radiate new vitality in modern society. Art should not be confined to the framework of the past, but should have the courage to experiment with new forms of expression and styles while preserving the essence.
We should also respect everyone's emotions and choices. Art is diverse, and everyone's understanding and preference for art will be different. We should face this entangled history with tolerance and understanding, and not be paranoid about denying each other's views or works because of different positions.
On the Chinese art stage, Li Yugang has become a high-profile star with his unique anti-string performance style.

In this entanglement, we also see the trade-off between personal emotions and artistic battles, which is a complex and interesting issue.
