>>> the former Three Dingjia <<< of Peking Opera
Peking Opera "Former Three Dingjia" is also known as "Top Three Jie"
The Daoxian period was formed on Peking Opera
The role of the foundation is great
Peking Opera "Former Three Dingjia"
Refers to the early days of the formation of Peking Opera
Three outstanding veteran talents in the first generation of actors
Cheng Changgeng, Yu Sansheng, Zhang Erkui
Cheng Changgeng
Cheng Changgeng became the latest and had the greatest influence among the three. Yang Jingting's "Dumen Miscellaneous Songs" has a bamboo branch word description: "The fashion yellow cavity shouts like thunder, and kunyi words have no media." Now the special weight of Yu Sansheng, the young man competed for Zhang Erkui. ”
Yu Sansheng
Hubei people
Founder of the "Han School" of Peking Opera
Yu Sansheng became a pillar after entering Beijing and entering the Chuntai class, and his singing was called "Flower Cavity", which could "integrate the emblem and the tone of Han, and add the tune of Kun and Yu", pay attention to singing skills, attach importance to the charm of the singing cavity, "its singing is the best in Xipi", and "the reverse tone of the two yellows is also dominated by its creators", and wins with a gentle tone. He is good at robes and belts and relies on tricks, and he can also perform "Shilang Visiting Mother" and "Catching and Releasing Cao", which are "the same in the world".
Zhang Erkui
Zhang Erkui, a native of Beijing, is known as Shengkui (the same name as Zhang Shengkui in the "Thirteen Absolute Perfections of Tongguang"), and is known as Erkui because of his second line. Because of acting, he lost his official position and went to the sea, and was once the head of the Hechun class, and during the Xianfeng period, he and the Jingjiao Dakuiguan (Liu Wanyi) formed a double Kuiban. His king hat plays are the most famous, such as "Playing Golden Branches", "Jinshui Bridge", "Huilongge", etc., singing based on Jingyin, "the voice is loud, the line cavity does not like twists and turns and the words are solid, and the upside down is not broken", there is a "Kui Pai", also known as "Jing Pai", as opposed to the "Flower Cavity", some people call his singing "dry cavity", singing wins with simplicity, and the requirements for the learner's talent are very high. Zhang Zijiu, Zhou Chunkui, Xu Yintang, etc., can pass on the art of "Kui Pai". The best student of Zhang Erkui was Xu Yintang, who entered the grain shop outside Qihua Gate (present-day Chaoyang Gate) from an early age and later rose to the rank of second treasurer. He loves to sing, and every time he rides a donkey to Tongzhou to negotiate business or understand the market, he sings all the way, so his peers know it. He made good friends with Yang Yuelou and others, studied drama with Mu Fengshan, Jia Lichuan, etc., and eventually specialized in Zhang Erkui, and was born with a good voice. Because the merchants in Beijing all know him, there are many people offstage during the performance, which invisibly increases the momentum of "Kui Pai" in Beijing.
At the same time as the "former three Dingjia", there is also Xue Yinxuan, who went to Beijing to study as a teenager, became a "famous ticket" because of his love of opera, and finally "went to the sea", and Daoguang became the foreman of the emerging Jinyu class in twenty-five years. At that time, there was a "play ticket" in the "Dumen Miscellaneous Songs" who praised Xue Yinxuan: "The famous class always fights the vote to help, and the whole victory and the emerging are even more worrying." I didn't see Yin Xuan not sitting on the seat, and sure enough, the children won the jianghu. "Its unique plays "Qiankun Belt" and "Smoke Ghost Sigh" are very popular.
Wang Jiuling, who first learned the sword and Ma Dan, later changed to the old student, when he first took the Four Joy Class, he relied on the old student to become famous, and then under the stage grinding, he formed a singing characteristic that met his own conditions. His performances are full of books, "Except for the Three Harms", "Scolding Wang Lang", "Zhan Pu Guan", "Hai Rui in "Colorful Public Opinion", Li Yuan in "Palace Gate Hanging Belt", "Cheng Changgeng is also known as a solo victory". The people in the "Later Three Dingjia" have learned from his performance and singing.
