Not long ago, the famous Peking Opera actor Wang Peiyu talked about some views on Guo Degang's singing of Peking Opera in an interview, which caused an uproar and triggered a collective "crusade" among Guo Degang's fans. Guo Degang did not respond positively, but expressed his state of mind with a sentence of "no intention to fight for spring" on social platforms. On February 20, Guo Degang posted a group photo of him and Wang Ping, Deng Muwei, Zhang Ke, Lu Song and several other famous Peking Opera artists through his personal social platform, hinting at his popularity in the Peking Opera circle.
As we all know, Guo Degang liked opera many years ago, and Zheng'er Bajing learned to sing opera, performed with the xiqu class, and was proficient in many kinds of drama, especially in the performance of commentary.
So, what do the people in Pear Garden Say about Guo Degang's singing, especially Peking Opera? This issue summarizes the views of several famous domestic Peking Opera artists on Guo Degang.
1. Chen Shaoyun: His voice is particularly good, and he is a rare talent
Guo Degang once studied the Lin School with the famous Peking Opera master Zhao Lintong, and later he also made up the ceremony of paying homage to Mr. Zhao Lintong. Chen Shaoyun, an old student of the famous "Qi Sect", became Guo Degang's brother-in-law and was very familiar with Guo Degang's Peking Opera performances.

Chen Shaoyun once commented on Guo Degang's singing: "People are very smart, he will be a lot, he has accumulated a lot, not only Peking Opera, commentary, zizi he will, so the jargon, the belly is wide, he will get a lot, people are also very smart, and then his best is that his voice is particularly good, he sometimes will have a lot of plays, even we have not seen." He can sing with his old life, flower face, and old Dan, and he is indeed a rare talent, and there are very bright spots on the stage. ”
Chen Shaoyun is the representative inheritor of peking opera in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects, a national first-class actor, and is considered to be the heir of today's excellent Qipai art. It can be said that his evaluation of Guo Degang is very high and very weighty.

In 2016, when the Dalian Peking Opera House held a series of performances to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mr. Yuan Shihai's birth, Yang Chi also specially invited Guo Degang to participate in the performance, playing the role of "Cao Cao" in "Qun Ying Hui, Borrowing Dongfeng, Hua Rong Dao". Yang Chi's evaluation of Guo Degang is: "Guo Degang is an actor with comprehensive talent and feelings. ”
Li Hongtu
3. Li Hongtu: Anyone in the art category who is willing to support and participate in opera should be welcomed
Li Hongtu is a national first-class actor at the Beijing Opera House, the head of the Mei Lanfang Peking Opera Troupe, and the disciple of Major General Ye Shaolan. He looks handsome and handsome, and his voice is high-pitched and gentle, and he is the best among contemporary small students.
Five years ago, Li Hongtu proposed to hold an all-star Peking Opera performance of the "Ten-Year Covenant", which was quickly responded by Peking Opera masters Wang Ping, Tan Xiaozeng, Zhu Qiang, Zhao Baoxiu, Meng Guanglu, Chi Xiaoqiu, etc., and finally the crowdfunding of the event was successful. Moreover, Li Hongtu also invited Guo Degang to join.
The reason why Cross-talk actor Guo Degang was invited, Li Hongtu said in an interview at the time, "Mr. Guo likes opera and is willing to participate in the activities of the Peking Opera circle; anyone in the art discipline is willing to support and participate in opera, we should all respond with a welcoming attitude, as for the results, it is judged by the audience." "If the audience thinks that a famous cross-talk artist performing Peking Opera still looks like it, this will achieve our goal." Peking Opera is a very inclusive art, which was the case in the first place, so why exclude people who are willing to support it now? ”
Liu Guijuan
4. Liu Guijuan: He can reflect the drama genres such as Beijing Commentary, Yueyu and other dramas at the same time in a play
Liu Guijuan is a Peking opera actress who is loved by the majority of opera fans, she is the Tianjin Youth Peking Opera Troupe Cheng Pai Qingyi, a national first-class actor, who has won the title of "Five Small Cheng Dan" together with Li Haiyan, Zhang Huoding, Chi Xiaoqiu and Li Peihong.
As early as 2006, when Guo Degang and Chun Ni hosted the "Starry Night Story Show", Liu Guijuan participated as a guest. When the two were chatting, Liu Guijuan mentioned Guo Degang's singing skills, and she said to Chun Ni: "He sings well, he can reflect the Jing Ping Yu Yue Yu and other dramas at the same time in a play, singing several songs, very scary." ”
Liu Guijuan and Guo Degang collaborated on the excerpt of "Sitting palace"
According to Liu Guijuan, once she and Guo Degang were backstage to discuss a chorus. She originally wanted to sing a popular "Wisdom Fight" or something like that, but she didn't expect Guo Degang to open her mouth and say, "Let's sing a piece of "Sitting Palace". Liu Guijuan did not expect that Guo Degang would even sing such an unpopular drama of the Cheng School as "Sitting in the Palace".
It can be seen that Liu Guijuan has an appreciative attitude towards Guo Degang.
5. Wang Peiyu: Xiangsheng saving Peking Opera is a very one-sided statement, but I still have to thank them
Wang Peiyu is a descendant of the famous Peking Opera Yu Pai in shanghai Peking Opera, known as "Little Winter Emperor" in the Peking Opera circle, and "Yu Boss" in the entertainment industry. In an interview program, "Boss Yu" and the famous host Yang Lan talked about their views on Guo Degang's development of Peking Opera.
Wang Peiyu's original words were roughly like this: "Teacher Guo Degang really did a good job of the interpretive ecology of cross-talk, which is worth learning. Saying that xiangsheng saved Peking Opera is actually a very extreme and one-sided statement... If Teacher Guo sang alone, there would not be so many famous Peking Opera actors to accompany him, and I am afraid that not so many Peking Opera audiences would go to see him, and there might still be more cross-talk audiences who like him. ”
Yang Lan: First, you can see that from Teacher Guo and the cross-talk actors, they all respect Peking Opera very much, but at the same time, if more audiences, no matter through what channels, can better understand Peking Opera, interested in Peking Opera, it is a good thing for Peking Opera.
Wang Peiyu: Yes, we still have to thank them.
From the dialogue between the two, we can see that Wang Peiyu has a positive attitude towards Guo Degang's singing of Peking Opera, and finally expressed his gratitude. She just disagrees with the statement that "crosstalk saves Peking Opera". After watching the video, from the beginning to the end, Wang Peiyu did not say that "Guo Degang is only the level of ticket holders", it seems that the "Wang Peiyu shelled Guo Degang" on the Internet is just a rumor.

Therefore, based on the evaluation of Guo Degang by these Peking Opera names, it is not difficult for us to see that Guo Degang has been recognized by many people in the mainstream Peking Opera circle, including the famous Peking Opera artist Meng Guangyi, who has rehearsed and performed on the same stage with Guo Degang before. If Guo Degang sings too poorly, I believe that these Famous Peking Opera artists will not perform on the same stage with him.
In fact, Peking Opera was originally a mass entertainment art, because of the lack of the public, peking opera moved towards the elegant but high and low temple. Xiaobian believes that Guo Degang is enthusiastic about participating in the cause of Peking Opera, and through his own popularity, he has a good role in promoting the popularization of Peking Opera to the public, and should not be blamed for it. I hope that fans will not go to extremes, credulously believe rumors, and oppose Guo Degang and the mainstream Peking Opera circle, which is harmful to both sides.
