Experience the "Birth and Death" opera course into the Baoding High-tech Zone Primary School

"Peking Opera is the essence of the country, so I want to understand it and learn it." On October 15, in the art education class of the primary school in Baoding High-tech Zone, Dong Xiaoyan, a student in the 13th class of the fifth grade, said.

Unlike Dong Xiaoyan, who studied Peking Opera, Li Haining, a student in the sixth class of the fourth grade of the school, studied Hebei Zizi, she said: "My grandmother and I both like opera, and I hope to learn to sing opera and sing to my grandmother." ”

As one of the three opera teaching demonstration bases in Baoding, the primary school in the high-tech zone began to use opera as an art education curriculum as early as 2017. At present, the primary school in the high-tech zone has two major lessons a week totaling 120 minutes of opera lessons, and dozens of students interested in opera have voluntarily signed up to learn Peking Opera and Hebei Zizi respectively.

"Opera is a synthesis of many art forms, such as 'drama words', which is very literary. Many drama plays are also spreading positive energy, which is very helpful for students to form correct values and develop physically and mentally. Teacher Zhang Zhifeng of the high-tech zone primary school said: "The primary school in the high-tech zone attaches great importance to traditional cultural education, so it has incorporated opera into the 'school curriculum'. We hope to promote and pass on the opera culture, so that the opera culture can blossom and flourish in the hearts of children. ”

It is understood that the teachers of the opera course in the primary schools of the high-tech zone are all appointed by external professional opera actors. "When opera enters the school, the seeds of the art of opera can be planted in the hearts of children when they are teenagers." As the seeds take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit in the hearts of children, opera can bloom new branches and better pass on china's traditional culture. Dong Meiying, a teacher of the primary school opera course in the high-tech zone and an actor in Peking Opera, said. (Reporters Jia Yiwei and Sun Shaolei)
