International Online Shaanxi Report (reporter Liu Honghua): "Since starting from Yan'an in 1938, the Shaanxi Provincial Opera Research Institute has come all the way with red blood and genes. We have always adhered to the creative orientation of serving the public and taking the people as the center, and in the future road, we must create works that reflect the spirit of the times and attract more young people to pay attention to and like traditional culture. Li Mei, president of the Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Opera, said.
Recently, sponsored by the International Online of the Central Radio and Television Corporation and the Cyberspace Office of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, and hosted by the International Online Shaanxi Channel, the multilingual large-scale interview activity of "Building Dreams of New Shaanxi and Passing on the Torch from Generation to Generation" conducted an exclusive interview with Li Mei, president of the Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Opera, to tell the story of passing on the torch in traditional opera art.

There are different theories about the origin of the Qin cavity, and there are three theories that were formed in the Qin Dynasty (or pre-Qin), Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. Historical records record that the earliest Qin Class Society in the Ming Dynasty was the Huaqing Class founded by Zhou Zhiren. Later, in Shaanxi Province, the Qin Cavity developed into the East, West, Middle and South Roads, the East Road is Tongzhou Zizi, the West Road is the Xifu Qin Cavity, the South Road has evolved into the Han Tune, and the Middle Road is Xi'an Random Bomb. Because the Qin cavity uses the jujube wood as a percussion instrument, also known as the "Zizi Cavity", many later dramas were influenced by the Qin Cavity. Therefore, The Qin Cavity is also known as the originator of zizi opera.
Qin Cavity is the bloodline and gene of the Qin people, and it is also one of the cultural symbols of Shaanxi. At the same time, Qin Cavity was also integrated into Li Mei's life. Li Mei entered the industry at the age of 11 and took the stage at the age of 12, performing Qin operas such as "Yang Qiniang", "West Lake Hate", "Leaving True Feelings", "Moving West of the Tree", etc., and won many awards such as "Plum Blossom Award" and "Magnolia Drama Award and Special Award" for the second time, and was known as "the first of the four famous Dans of Qin Cavity" and "Qin Cavity One Plum".

Forty years of art, Li Mei has her own understanding of the inheritance contained in the Qin Cavity. "Any traditional Chinese culture is a living inheritance culture, especially Chinese opera, of course, Qin Cavity is no exception." For thousands of years, generations of artists have passed on their teachings orally and practiced them, promoting the inheritance of opera. Li Mei believes that the development of opera is always inseparable from people, and the inheritance of Qin Cavity depends on the inheritance of repertoire and talents in the final analysis.
Because of this, Li Mei has always paid attention to the cultivation of Qin Cavity's successor talent team. The Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Opera adheres to the talent revitalization institute, and the subordinate units such as the Qin Cavity Troupe, the Meido Bowl Cavity Troupe, the Youth Experimental Troupe, the Xiaomeihua QinLuo Troupe, and the Actor Training Class undertake the training of young actors.
"Any career is inseparable from people, and the opera business is the same." The Shaanxi Provincial Opera Research Institute was established in 1938, formerly known as the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region People's Theater Troupe, which has been going on for 83 years. In the 1983 years of artistic practice, we have formed a set of models for the cultivation of talents, that is, to recruit a group of students every 10 years, so as to ensure the continued transmission of personnel and repertoire. In terms of training, each trainee must go through 5-7 years of sitting in the subject, go through strict class training, and basically master the 'four skills and five methods' of opera before they can take the stage. Li Mei continued: "From decades of artistic practice, we feel that through strict and standardized training, practical performances, including observing and learning the art of their predecessors, it is actually a kind of passing on the torch. In the process of learning, the children are pushed out step by step through the repertoire. ”

As the president of the Shaanxi Provincial Academy of Opera, the inheritance and promotion of Qin Cavity is a mission that Li Mei cannot avoid and must face. Li Mei once said that the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture is the sacred mission of every literary and art worker, and literary and art workers should go into the depths of practice, observe the people's lives, express the people's voice, and write about the people, depict the people, and sing the people with heart and soul.
For the future creation of more good works that reflect the new era, Li Mei said: "Starting from Yan'an in 1938, we came all the way with red blood and genes, and we have always adhered to the creative orientation of serving the public and taking the people as the center. In the new era, we should use our works to praise the people, the acura era, the acura heroes, and the great motherland, to create excellent products with profound thinking, exquisite art, and excellent production, so as to attract more young people to pay attention to and like traditional culture. ”
