On September 15th, the opening ceremony of the 14th National Games was grandly staged at the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center. The original innovative Qin Cavity "Ode to Huaxia", sung by the winners of the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award, was unanimously praised by netizens. Netizens directly called the opening ceremony program "very Shaanxi" and "the original Qin cavity is so good" in the live broadcast room.
On September 17, a reporter from The China Business Network met Li Mei, the lead singer of "Ode to Huaxia", and Dang Xiaohuang, the lyricist, at the Shaanxi Opera Research Institute. Listen to them tell the story behind "Ode to Huaxia" and the two teachers' understanding of the ancient art of Qin Cavity.
Li Mei and Dang Xiaohuang are both industry leaders. Li Mei is the only winner of the second "Plum Blossom Award", the second "Wenhua Award" and the third "Magnolia Drama Award" in the northwest, and is also the first of the four famous Dans of Qin Cavity, in the words of Teacher Dang Xiaohuang, "the leading figure in the opera industry in the five northwestern provinces"; Dang Xiaohuang is now retired and was the artistic director of the Art Research Center of the State Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Opera, creating dozens of operas, dramas and operas, among which the Qin historical drama "Du Fu" and the opera "Dahan Suwu" won a series of awards such as the "Five Ones Project Award" of the Central Propaganda Department.
Historical and cultural heritage is the foundation of national development "Ode to Huaxia" sings cultural self-confidence
Dang Xiaohuang is an authentic Shaanxi native, even if he is facing the camera, he is more willing to choose to use Shaanxi dialect to express his views and express his insistence and understanding of Qin culture. This point is also deeply imprinted in the lyrics of "Ode to Huaxia". Dang Xiaohuang told the China Business Network reporter that there are three principles for the lyric writing of "Ode to Huaxia", that is, singing cultural self-confidence, singing boldness, and letting the people remember the lyrics.
In the heart of Dang Xiaohuang, China's five-thousand-year history has a long history, our majestic historical and cultural heritage is the foundation of all development, and never shrinking back and being fearless is our national spirit. The lyrics of "Ode to Huaxia" are to show the broad mind and courage of the Qin people and reflect our cultural self-confidence. In the lyrics, "Qin Xiao seal used in Kyushu, old Qin bricks paved on the Great Wall, Qin car Qin horse Qin straight road, a Qin drum out of Qin Guan" is written about the history and culture of the Qin people; "Qin Ruler Qin Scale Bright Qin Bile, Measured the Yellow River and Measured Taishan" is a fearless spirit and the courage of the Qin people. In his view, the Qin people not only refer to the Shaanxi people, but also refer to the Chinese, the sons and daughters of the whole of China.
"Qin unified the six kingdoms and unified the script, which was the first step in China's reunification. The Qin Straight Road and the Great Wall were built by the Qin people, and what a great project it was. The pioneering spirit here is not only the spirit of Shaanxi people, but also our national spirit. We need that spirit. Dang Xiaohuang said.
In Li Mei's view, in the chapter of "National Roots", different elements of dynasties such as the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties are arranged in the chapters, and these dynasties are representative and proud, and these histories take place in the hot land of Shaanxi. "Ode to Huaxia" uses Qin sheng qin rhyme to express the popularity of Qin, embodies the national spirit, and highlights our image of a strong country.
How does "Very Shaanxi" do it? The Qin people sing the Qin dialect
After "Ode to Huaxia" came out of the circle, netizens said that the show was "very Shaanxi" and Qin was good. The two teachers felt that this was due to the complementarity of the singing lyrics, the words had a Shaanxi flavor, coupled with the performance of the Qin cavity, the content and form were perfectly combined, the program was good, and the Shaanxi flavor came out.
Dang Xiaohuang explained that the lyrics "very Shaanxi" were sung because they grasped the word "Qin". In the original creative version, Dang Xiaohuang maintained that almost every singing word had the word "Qin", and then there was the Qin language, such as "Qin Cavity Roar Breaking The Sky" with "roar" instead of "singing". In Dang Xiaohuang's heart, the melody of the Qin Cavity is high-pitched and exciting, and "roar" can express the popularity of Qin, not a simple verb, but a spiritual symbol. "We are open and straight, Shaanxi Lengwa looks like a straight one." Qin cavity can express the temperament of Qin people. What we sing is what the Qin people want to say, the cavity is the cavity that the Qin people want to hear, and the courage that comes out of singing is the courage of the Qin people. Everyone thinks this show is very Shaanxi. Dang Xiaohuang said.
In Li Mei's view, using characteristics to entertain guests from afar is the most authentic. Using Shaanxi's artistic means to express the national spirit, Qin Cavity should not give in. "Just like guests come to Shaanxi to be served with lamb steamed buns, Qin Cavity is a very good carrier of Shaanxi culture." Sing what everyone wants to say in the language everyone wants to say and in a familiar form, everyone will feel that this is very Shaanxi. ”
Pour out the strength of the whole hospital to ensure the fourteen luck program One meter five little girl carries three meters to lean
The show that won the applause of the whole hall is inseparable from the hard work behind the entertainers.
As one of the participating units, the Shaanxi Opera Research Institute almost devoted all its efforts to ensuring the performance of the program. When she first received the task of participating in the Fourteen Games program, Li Mei did not know that this task would be so arduous. There were 260 people in the hospital, and 207 people participated in the 14th Games program, of which more than half of the cast members over 50 years old exceeded the total number. In the hottest weather of July and August, these cast members rehearsed for more than a dozen hours a day from noon to early morning.
The older ones were tired, and so were the little girls. At the opening ceremony, many 1.5-meter-high opera performers carried 3-meter-high steel pipes on their backs, and they could not stand steadily when the wind blew slightly. Li Mei explained: "The ordinary big leaning is only a few tens of centimeters, and the opening ceremony is 3 meters. The little girls walked for 40 minutes every day on their backs weighing more than 30 pounds to rehearse, and their backs were bruised. ”
Despite this, Li Mei still feels that this performance is of far-reaching significance, and it is her own three lives to be able to participate in it. "In the context of epidemic prevention and control, in Shaanxi, China, to show the people of the world how well our epidemic prevention and control work has been done, and to show how strong China is, which is also our cultural self-confidence and spiritual self-confidence." Secondly, this performance has greatly helped the dissemination power of such an ancient drama as Qin Cavity. On weekdays, how many performances do you have to have so many spectators to see. But one night today, the whole world is watching. ”
Talking about the "feminization" of boys The two teachers believe that young people lack a sense of distress
When it comes to Qin culture. Dang Xiaohuang believes that the Qin cavity is passionate, the style is magnificent, the tragic and desolate, and it is the first of the Zizi drama. The reason why the Qin Cavity is desolate is because it has experienced too many tribulations, but the tribulations have tempered the tenacious temperament of the Chinese nation, so that it can stand firm and rise in the midst of difficulties and obstacles. More importantly, this kind of desolation carries with it the worry of the country and the country, and has the spirit of thinking of danger in times of peace, rather than ordinary praise and praise.
However, contemporary young people lack real national integrity, and more and more boys are snorting and laughing, like to draw eyebrows and smear lipstick, such aesthetic habits and aesthetic standards are worrying. "If the nation is going in this direction, it is not normal. Can the hand that draws lipstick on the eyebrows be able to carry a gun? In peacetime, there should also be a sense of distress, which young people lack. Li Mei said.
In Li Mei's view, today's society and culture are more diverse, the impact of foreign cultures is increasing, and young people have more and more choices, but many things are not necessarily really good things. "Just like children like to eat snacks, snacks taste good, but they are not good for the body. Our national culture is a really good thing, just like tea, young people may not like to drink tea, but national culture is like drinking tea, it quenches thirst, returns sweetness, is a real meaningful thing. "Today, the Shaanxi Academy of Opera is doing a lot of work to enable Qin Lu to get close to young people. But how far this road is, Li Mei does not know.
