The first time I enjoyed the Peking Opera "Drumming and Cursing Cao" out of curiosity, my idea is that the actors do not have to "sing" and "read", through "doing" they can be ashamed and insult the Han Grand Chancellor Cao Cao, I must listen to it well, appreciate how the Masters of Peking Opera play drums and convey affection. After enjoying it, I learned that "drumming" and "scolding Cao" are two links, but the 5-minute drumming performance is really a color.
At the earliest time, this performance was only drumming, and there was no other instrumental accompaniment, through the innovation of Master Tan Xinpei, began to be accompanied by Jinghu, Mr. Tan and the pianist Mei Yutian (Mei Lanfang's uncle) took the Kunqu qu card [Wind Blowing Lotus Leaf Fire] as the keynote, after joint research and trade-off, created the Jinghu Accompaniment Song Card [Deep Night], and used it for the first time in "Drumming and Cursing Cao".
You Heng drumming drum sleeve name "Yuyang San Lao Zhua", the previous paragraph is only drumming, the double hammer fell on the side of the edge of the drum, crisp and loud, and then drumming, light and heavy, slow and urgent rhythm change, single point, double point drum point is stable and orderly, showing You Heng's full belly of resentment. The second half of the drum sound accompanied by the deep night, the drum beat is more exciting, the sonorous sound, the speed of the song card up and down, from contemplation and resentment to passion, the climax is repeated, the resentment reveals the hidden killing, the drummer, the piano master's cooperation is really perfect.
The plot of the script can be summarized as You Heng Hui Cao, Ren Wei Drum Officer, Drumming and Cursing Cao, Persuasion and Calming, Throwing Books to Death, and We Also Understand the Plot by Enjoying a Beautiful Singing Passage from Afar:
The courtiers conspired against the Han Dynasty
Chu and Han competed to move their guns and knives
Gao Zuye Xianyang ascended the great treasure
Unified mountains and rivers Le Tang Yao
So far, there has been a traitor to Cao Cao
The upper bully is the lower pressure on the crowd
I have the heart to sweep the thief away for the master
The knife that kills is missing in his hand
Sit down and sit down to rape Cao Cao
Sit on the crowd of civilians and martial artists
New Year's Day with thieves is an ominous omen
Pretend to be crazy and curse The Adulterer
I took off my blue shirt
Ragged shirts swayed
Run up with the guts
The son under the tent was noisy
You two don't have to laugh
There are generations of ancient people listening to the root seedlings
In the past, Taigong used to fish
Zhang Liang picked up the foot at the Bridge
Suffering among men
I took off my shirt and changed into a purple robe
The two of you have spoken badly
Hugh treats the tiger as a tanuki
It will arrive one day
Draw your sword to chop the dragon
Hugh said I was daydreaming upside down
The time is coming
I took off my torn clothes
Naked and heroic
Anger kept running upwards
The original intention of the script was to show Cao Cao's contempt, invincibility, sinister and cunning, and on the other hand, to show the mighty and unyielding arrogant character of the feudal scholar represented by You Heng. However, there are also fans who think that You heng is arrogant and arrogant, and young and crazy. For real fans, as long as there is a drumming color, the rest is not important.
