Each opera sings a story
Today we will talk about it
The story of a woman in the Qin Dynasty who challenges imperial power with wisdom
Yu opera Chen Pai famous drama "Cosmic Front"
During the reign of Qin II, Zhao Gao and Kuang Hong were courtiers and were the sons and daughters of the family. Zhao Gao was dictatorial, and Kuang Hong was dissatisfied. Zhao Gao sent people to steal the "Cosmic Blade" sword hidden by the Kuang family, and then stabbed the second with the sword to blame. Enraged, the Second Emperor slashed the door. Kuang Hongzi Kuang fled, and his wife Zhao Yanrong returned to the Zhao family to live alone. Qin II Hu Hai saw the beauty of yan and wanted to make a concubine. Yan Rong hated both her father for framing the Kuang family, and the second generation for being absurd and unreasonable, and categorically refused. With the help of a mute slave (some drama as a mute woman), Zhao Yanrong pretends to be crazy to resist rape.
Another way, a different face - Chen Suzhen
In 1952, after master Chen Suzhen, the empress of Yu opera, watched the Han opera master Chen Bohua's "Cosmic Front", he transplanted this drama, and on the basis of the Han opera "Cosmic Front", he took a different path, with the "crazy water sleeve" of "heaven into the earth", comprehensively transformed the various techniques of the water sleeve, and created a variety of sleeves such as flower sleeves, fireworks sleeves, fan flower sleeves, wave sleeves, flying sleeves, mandarin duck sleeves, etc., and performed with light and heavy, suddenly soft, and neglectful. The graceful and dignified Zhao Yanrong was vividly expressed in the ever-changing emotional waves in a crazy state, and the new level of the play and the characteristics of Yu opera were performed.

Xiaobian will tell you about one
A small episode between Chen Suzhen and his disciple Niu Shuxian
Once, Yu opera performance artist Niu Shuxian led the Handan Dongfeng Yu Opera Troupe to perform in the open air of Wuli fort on the outskirts of Zhengzhou, and made a special trip to Chen Suzhen's residence at No. 5 Jingba Road to visit, talking about Niu Shuxian's art during the banquet, Chen Suzhen said to Niu Shuxian: "The two plays you learned, "Cosmic Front" is better than "Fan Wang Palace", the atmosphere, although some places are overheated and vigorous, but they are still accurate and in place. After eating, Niu Shuxian told Chen Suzhen that he would perform "Cosmic Front" in the open air on the 20th. Chen Suzhen offered to go to the theater, Niu Shuxian said: "Wait until you perform in the regular theater, you can watch it, the open-air performance conditions are too poor." Chen Suzhen said solemnly: "In the open air, the conditions of the theater are poor, and the quality of the performance cannot be bad." Poor conditions, you are not afraid of the performance, I am afraid of what a theater watcher! I must go and see if you have played the 'stream'. "Who knew that on the day of March 20, the sky was not beautiful, and the wind was fierce, mixed with sand, straight in the face. Chen Suzhen still insisted on going, and always did not listen to the left and right obstacles. At the time of embarrassment, a phone call came from Wuli Fort, saying that the stage curtain and curtain were blown by the wind very badly, and the drama could not be performed in two ways, so that the teacher should not come, and there would be a chance to invite her to watch the play in the future. This is finally to persuade her old man to stop. But the play that day was very successful.
