Pingtan belongs to the national intangible cultural heritage and is known as "the most beautiful voice in China". On April 8th, the "Salute to China: Famous Artists Forum" invited Pingtan artists to come to the Jiading Campus of Tongji University to bring an audio-visual feast to teachers and students.
Wu Xinbo, an artist from Pingdan, vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, chairman of the Shanghai Quyi Artists Association, and a national first-class actor of the Shanghai Pingtan Troupe, talked about the formation and historical origin of Pingtan through "I and Pingdan, Pingtan and Shanghai, and Pingtan and the Present", and guided students to appreciate the unique charm of Pingtan art based on his own experience.
In addition, in order to enrich the students' perceptual understanding of quyi, the event also invited Tao Yingyun, a famous actor from the Shanghai Pingtan Troupe, to bring the Suzhou lyrics "Butterfly Loves Flowers" and "Pujiang Beauty". Wu Nong's soft words, singing lyrics, like the melodious sound of silk strings, the exciting story is told. The scenes are vividly interpreted, and the songs are clear, so that everyone is immersed in the ancient rhyme.
Ruan Jikai......, a famous young actor of the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe, brought the Shanghai rap "Jinling Pagoda", which was like a drum and a reed, and the words were like beads, and won warm applause at the scene; the Shanghainese song "Shanghai Ballad" showed the shouting of the old alley vendors in Shanghai, making everyone feel as if they were in the market.
In this way, the students gained a deeper aesthetic understanding of Pingdan. "My hometown is from the north, and I think it's a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of Suzhou Pingdan. Wu Manyu, a third-year student majoring in management science and engineering at the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University, said happily.
It is reported that the school allows masters and famous artists to enter the campus every year through various forms such as special exhibitions, lectures and salons, literary and art appreciation, and practical experience. Since its inception in 2021, the "Tribute to China: Famous Masters Forum" has been held 18 times on a regular basis, enriching the cultural life and cultural practice of teachers and students, and bringing the excellent traditional Chinese culture into the hearts of teachers and students.
