One day, I looked at the old book "Liyan Pictorial Journal", there was an article titled: "Killing Huang Essay", I was shocked to see the title of the article, and I looked at the three words "Huang Guiqiu" in front of my eyes, thinking that it was that the famous Peking Opera at that time, Dan Huang Guiqiu, was assassinated. Look at the author again, I went, Ha killed Huang. How did you get such a name, and how much hatred and resentment does this have to be with Huang Guiqiu? Ha ha.

In fact, this Mr. Ha and Huang Guiqiu have no vendetta, not only do they have no vendetta, he also likes Huang Guiqiu very much and is very proud of Huang Guiqiu. He is a famous opera critic in the Republic of China, and is good at photography, and has contact and contact with many famous Peking Opera artists, so he has written a lot of anecdotes and anecdotes about famous peking opera characters. He once wrote an article praising Meng Xiaodong as: "The eyebrows of the scarf" and "since worshipping Yu Shuyan, it has become more and more brilliant and brilliant, and it is the boundary of the eyebrows of the two sexes."

We know that the "Four Famous Dans" of Peking Opera, these four Danjiao masters, all had very strong staff and fan groups, which were called Mei Dang Cheng Dang White Dang and so on.
In fact, this drama critic can also be regarded as a member of the Huang of that year, but unfortunately, Huang, regardless of art and connections, financial resources, or backstage publicity, did not have four hard spirits, and lived in Shanghai for a long time. Therefore, people who like him and those who hold him are only waving the flag and shouting, and there are few people who should respond, and they cannot form a force, which can also be regarded as a reason for Huang's superb art and poor influence.
The "Four Famous Dans" of Peking Opera
The article "Essay on Killing Huang" was written in 1939, and the article recalled: In 1929, although Huang Guiqiu was very young, he could already sit on an equal footing with the famous Zhu Qinxin and Xu Biyun at that time.
This Ha reporter said: At this time, Huang Guiqiu's voice, no matter how he looks, is "above the standard, extremely suitable for the danjiao drama road of the big style", what is the big style, is not the authentic Qingyi, you want to say that Sun Shangxiang of "Sacrifice River" is "big style head Danjiao" it is still appropriate, but the characters on the Peking Opera stage are various, Wang Baojun of "Wu Jia Po" still has a little bit of style, then what is the style of Su San of "Female Uprising"? hehe.

In fact, Mr. Ha likes Huang Guiqiu for a reason, he believes that Huang's voice is unique, especially singing, and the singing method is charming, and at that time, the performance of "South Heavenly Gate" and "Trial Head Thorn Soup" in Sanqingyuan was extremely popular. Special "Thorn Soup" drama, "even with clever cavity, one sound and one color!" ”。
Later, Huang Guiqiu entered Ma Lianliang's "Fufeng Society", and as a result, it did not take long for him to pick his own class, and old plays and new plays were frequently staged, especially the private drama "Butterfly Medium" was the most popular, and Huang Guiqiu painted on the spot in the play, which was greatly praised. Since then, its fame in Beijing has never faded, and it has been performed in Kanto, Shandong, Hunan, Hubei and Shanghai.

Seeing this, I have doubts, the momentum of this interpretation can be said to be famous in China, and it also catches up with the "four famous Dan", why didn't I return to Beijing to settle down and perform later? And the second half of his artistic career was basically completed in Shanghai, why is this?
Peking Opera everyone Mr. Huang Guiqiu
All in all, it is not the writer Ha Kill Huang who likes Huang Guiqiu, and there are also many people who like Huang Guiqiu today. His unique voice is a beautiful singing voice, and he really does not lose the "Big Four". Unfortunately, Peking Opera has always been based on the "Beijing Dynasty School", Huang's art is superb, luck is not necessarily so good, he has a lot of unsatisfactory regardless of art and life, so that people at that time also gave him a "moldy Dan" name, so it is not surprising that Huang Guiqiu's art did not get the status and recognition he should have.
