Bashan Shushui, outstanding people.
Since Wenweng of the Western Han Dynasty opened the earliest government-run school in China in Shu, the Chinese of Shu has flourished, with Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, and Wang Bao ...... Literati and scholars who have left their names in history emerge one after another. After thousands of years of edification, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the style of advocating literature and learning has been all over Shu, and finally reached its peak with the emergence of the "Three Sus", especially Su Shi.
In addition to factors such as the background of the times and life experiences, the geographical space in which he was born and grew up - the influence and influence of the Bashu region and culture is also very important. Before the Bashu culture created Su Shi, it first created his mother: Mrs. Su Mucheng. Mrs. Cheng's Bashu cultural traits such as tenacity, optimism, calmness, and openness eventually shined through Su Shi's immortal poems and glorified future generations.
The Sichuan People's Art Theater's upcoming large-scale original drama "Su Mu" is a deep tribute to Mrs. Cheng and her inheritance of Bashu culture.

The country of abundance is blessed with unique natural conditions, so that the people of Shuzhong have enjoyed a comfortable life of "water and drought from people and no hunger" since the completion of Dujiangyan. "Guanzi" said, "Cangli actually knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace." Far away from the frequent wars and wars in the Central Plains, the relatively abundant material living conditions are the material basis for the style of advocating literature and learning in Shuzhong. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhenzong of Song personally wrote the poem "The book has its own golden house" and "The book has its own Yan Ruyu", which led to the flourishing of Shu Chinese.
Su Shi later described the grand occasion of studying in his hometown of Meizhou in the article "Xie Fan Sheren's Book".
He said that in the era of Song Renzong, Xishu "released the old man and held the inkstone, ten rooms and nine", which is the expression of cultural prosperity and the supremacy of reading; Tongyi Shu is a small state, and Meishan is a county, last year to the Ministry of Rites, where forty or fifty people", it can be seen that the proportion of Meishan people who study and advance is high. In such an atmosphere of advocating literature and learning, it is impossible for a man who can take the examination to gain fame or a woman who cannot be exempt from contamination. "Knowledge" and "Cultivation and Reading Heirlooms" are constantly fermenting, promoting and sublimating in such an atmosphere.
And Cheng Wenying, the green god of Jinshi and the first, the official to the Dali Temple, was the first to read to the forerunner. Followed by Zhongjinshi is Su Lian, the second son of Meishan Su Xu. is also a local scholarly family, Cheng Wenying and Su Xu have always been friends, in line with the principle of the right family, Cheng Wen should marry his beloved daughter to Su Xu's third son Su Xun as his wife.

Sima Guang later described in the "Epitaph of Jun Cheng in Wuyang County" that at that time, "the Cheng family was rich and the Su family was extremely poor". In the drama "Su Mu", this scene is presented with his brother Cheng Jun trying to dissuade his sister from marrying Su Xun. And Mrs. Cheng's answer was:
"My husband, God-given lover, must be a man of great talent and ambition. ”
Bashu's general atmosphere of learning and the influence of literacy and reading since childhood made Mrs. Cheng attach much more importance to her future husband's talent and learning than the family background in the eyes of ordinary people. Without Mrs. Cheng's light wealth and heavy literature, she may not have willingly married into Sumen in 1027, and the later "Three Sus" may not be able to talk about.

Sichuan is located in the geometric center of China's geographical location, right at the intersection of the Yellow River civilization and the Yangtze River civilization. "Historical Records of Heavenly Officials" said, "China's mountains and rivers flow northeast, and its dimension is in Long, Shu, and the tail is not in Bo and Jie." "The characteristics of physical geography also determine the characteristics of cultural geography.
Sichuan Basin Location
From the perspective of north-south longitudinal, Sichuan is located at the intersection of the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin, which is the transition zone connecting the Yellow River Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. From the east to the west, Sichuan is the meeting point of the Han nationality and the Tibetan, Qiang and Yi ethnic minorities, and is a bridge connecting the Jianghan Plain and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. As a result, the Bashu culture has been influenced by different cultures from all over the world, and has become a multi-level and multi-dimensional cultural complex where the cultural characteristics of the north and the south converge and gather, which has also created the cultural characteristics of inclusiveness and tolerance.
This kind of innate geographical advantages and cultural traditions that connect the east, west, north and south have formed a kind of collective cultural character in the residents of the Sichuan Basin, which is compatible with pioneering and self-sufficient, hard work and leisure, and has both positive and negative. This kind of cultural character is specifically projected to Mrs. Cheng, which is manifested as tenacious, optimistic, calm, and expansive personality charm and spiritual temperament.
After Mrs. Cheng married into the Su family, the burden of life has been on her since then. all know that Su Xun is "twenty-seven, starting to work hard", traveling abroad to study all the year round, and all the expenses of the family are maintained by Mrs. Cheng's yarn business. After having Su Shi and Su Zhe, the tuition fees of the two brothers, the travel expenses of Su Xun to catch the exam, and the cost of the "Three Sus" study tour all need to be managed by Mrs. Cheng. In "Su Mu", Mrs. Cheng admitted that she was also tired in front of her daughter Banniang, but Banniang's response reflected Mrs. Cheng's tenacity, "But you never fell".

Resilience and optimism often go hand in hand. Mrs. Cheng supported the Su family with all her might, not only because of the strength of women, but also because of optimism about the future - this optimism does not come from blind faith without judgment, but is rooted in the understanding of Su Xun's knowledge. When Su Xun, who was defeated three times in ten years and defeated again and again, was the elder brother and the servants, it was Mrs. Cheng who gave Su Xun the greatest trust and support. There is no Mrs. Cheng who does not complain or complain, and there is no Su Xun, who later ranked among the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties.
In "Su Mu", when Su Xun failed the exam and went home under the ridicule of everyone, Mrs. Cheng became his most important spiritual pillar, "I admire Mr. as a person, not fame!"
Because the Cheng family is wealthy, it would have been easy for Mrs. Cheng to reach out to her mother's family for funding. But no matter how embarrassing her livelihood and how difficult her situation is, Mrs. Cheng has always maintained a calm and comfortable demeanor. Cheng Jun asked her to complain and support her, but she replied: Brother, I am not bitter.

What is especially rare is that even if her family is never rich, Mrs. Cheng can still maintain a sense of righteousness and wealth. In addition to the Su family's expenses, she also used the money from running the yarn shop to help the market merchants and poor students who could not study due to their poor families.
Teaching by example is more important than words. Su Shi is exposed to the demeanor of such a mother every day. Many years later, when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and hit a wall everywhere, the tenacity, optimism, calmness and openness from his mother made him still talk and laugh at the trough of his life, so that with a few poems and a few calligraphy and paintings, he directly climbed to the peak of Chinese cultural achievements in the Song Dynasty and even a thousand years. "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly", "Parasitic mayflies in the heaven and earth, a millet in the sea", "The boat is gone, the rivers and seas are sent for the rest of their lives", "The big river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters of the ages" ...... The Bashu culture that created Mrs. Cheng finally shined and shined on the Su Shi created by Mrs. Cheng and shined on future generations.

Dong Fan, the starring actor of "Su Mu", the general manager and artistic director of Sichuan Renyi Co., Ltd., and the national first-class actor, has already formed an indissoluble bond with Bashu. In 1994, she grew up in Tianjin for the first time to come to Sichuan to shoot the TV series "Su Dongpo", and in just one month, when she returned to Tianjin, she was able to perform a sketch in Sichuan dialect on the TV station Spring Festival Gala. Before coming to Sichuan, she didn't eat a mouthful of chili peppers, but now she can even use the soup in the red soup hot pot to eat. In addition to the integration of language and eating habits, Dong Fan, out of his love for Bashu culture, specially found a teacher to learn Sichuan opera, and used Sichuan opera to recite the classic poems of Li Bai, Du Fu, and Lu You.

The classic Sichuan dialect elements are also presented to a considerable extent in "Su Mu". In addition to the comic performance of the characters in the group drama, the first few scenes after the opening are particularly witty, not only the classic Sichuan dialect terms such as "Plague Pig", "Runaway, Horse Braincase", "This economic condition is so annoying" and other classic Sichuan dialect terms are contrasted with the beautiful American lines, and its laughing atmosphere contrasts with the tragic scenes such as the death of Ba Niang and the sadness of Su's mother, creating a shocking sense of dramatic conflict.
In fact, as a leading local drama troupe in Sichuan, Sichuan People's Art Theater has been committed to spreading the charm of Bafeng and Shu, excavating Bashu culture, creating Sichuan boutiques, and telling Sichuan stories well, so that the unique Bashu cultural temperament can be recognized and moved by domestic and even world audiences. "Catch the Strong Man", "Home", "Boat Crossing the Three Gorges", "The Dust Settles", ...... A series of plays with distinctive Sichuan characteristics have long been famous.
In 2018, the large-scale original drama "Su Dongpo" by Sichuan Renyi Creative Arrangement premiered in Chengdu. The play has lasted eight years since its planning, and has been supported by the National Arts Fund, the Sichuan Art Fund, and the major literary and artistic support projects of Sichuan Province for four times. Two rounds of national tours, 24,000 kilometers, and the crew's footprints in more than 30 cities.

The original dramas produced by Sichuan Renyi basically have one thing in common: based on this Fangba Mountain and Shushui, they draw nutrients from life - just like Su Dongpo's character synthesizes the unique broadness and optimism of Sichuan people. Zha Lifang, the national first-class director who directed the play, said, "As soon as I saw the script, I wanted to integrate all the elements of Sichuan, and we wanted to be a Su Dongpo belonging to Sichuan." The main creative team then decided to incorporate unique Sichuan opera elements into the drama, and Sichuan opera elements such as Bang Xiang were also very popular when they toured the country.
Laughter and enthusiasm are typical characteristics of Sichuan culture
This time, "Su Mu" still draws on the advantages and strengths of "Su Dongpo", and uses Bashu elements to show the good mother of Bashu. In addition to the dialect charm of the lines, the costume design of the characters, the stage decoration, and the scene set ...... All of them have distinctive Bashu cultural characteristics. In this regard, Luo Hongliang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sichuan People's Art Theater Co., Ltd., said, "We hope that this drama will not only focus on Sumu, but also display the politics, economy, culture, and folk customs of Sichuan in the Northern Song Dynasty on the drama stage, and interpret the culture and art of Bashu in multiple dimensions. An excellent stage art creation not only needs a good subject matter, a character that can move people and has authenticity, but also needs to be valuable and meaningful to modern society. As long as we have a heart of admiration, we can stand the role of 'Su Mu' on the stage. ”
The creation cycle of an original stage play is very long, and "Su Mu" has been brewing for more than three years now. When the spotlight shines on Su Mu, the broad and profound Bashu culture she represents and embodies will also slowly appear, from hidden to visible, from far to near, from virtual to real. The scorching light of Bashu culture shines even more brightly because of her.
