Chapter 188, Qu Yi's predecessors are entangled, and the inheritance is all in the Deyun Society
Guo Degang posted on January 14, 2018: "On January 14, 1895, the 19th day of the 20th month of Guangxu (Jia Wu), the founder of the Qi Pai art of Peking Opera, Mr. Qilin Tong Zhou Xinfang was born. ”
Guo Degang is a memorial to the spiritual leader of the Qilin Opera Society, Qilin Tong Zhou Xinfang; Qilin Tong is also the mentor followed by Guo Degang's Peking Opera master Zhao Lintong, and is the totem of the Southern Peking Opera.
One thing must be made clear: Qilin Tong is not the master of Guo Degang's Peking Opera master Zhao Lintong; Zhao Lintong studied with Huang Shengfang in his childhood, but he followed Zhou Xinfang and took the strengths of each family according to his own conditions, forming a unique performance style and becoming a generation of Qi Pai masters. Zhao Lintong's representative works include "Chu and Han Rivalry", "Chasing Han Xin", "Chopping Han Xin", "Chopping Xiao He", "Weiyang Palace", "Song Shijie", "Xu Ce Running City", "Six Kingdoms Sealing Phase", "Late Ming Dynasty Hate", "Righteous Responsibility Wang Kui", "Qingfeng Pavilion" and other plays.
Zhao Lintong's apprentices include Chen Shaoyun of the Shanghai Peking Opera House, Pei Yongjie of the Jilin Provincial Peking Opera House, and Wang Quanxi of the Jiangxi Provincial Peking Opera House. Speaking of this, everyone understands why Guo Degang and Chen Shaoyun have more contacts, right? The two are both descendants of the Qi Sect and are brothers in law.
Zhao Lintong's profession in Peking Opera was a veteran of Peking Opera; his father Zhao Xixi (Zhao Yunting) was a burlesque actor, and burlesque opera can also be said to be the predecessor of cross-talk. Zhao Lintong's younger sister Zhao Ling is also a burlesque actor. Zhao Ling also has a name called Zhao Huiliang.
Pulling away, or back to the main topic, the main speaker Zhou Xinfang.
Zhou Xinfang was born in a family of quyi, his father Zhou Weitang and his mother Xu Guixian are both Spring Immortal class actors. Zhou Xinfang practiced with Chen Changxing at the age of 6 to learn drama, and at the age of 7, he took the stage to act, taking the stage name "Seven-year-old Child", at the age of 12, he changed his stage name to "Qilin Tong", and in the same year he worshiped Li Chunlai as a teacher; at the age of 13, he went to Beijing to enter the Xilian Class, sharing the stage with Mei Lanfang, Lin Shusen and Gao Baishi. This XiLiancheng is a very famous Peking Opera class society.
At the age of 17, Zhou Xinfang returned to Shanghai and performed with Tan Xinpei, Li Jirui, Jin Xiushan, Feng Zihe and others. Before the age of 30, he had already formed his own style, known as the "Qipai".
The characteristics of Zhou Xinfang's singing voice can be summarized as follows:
1. Although the voice is hoarse, the singing is full of emotion, straight and vigorous, and the air is out of the dantian;
2. Clear pronunciation, pay attention to the spout, bite the word and be musical;
3. Do not use harmful words or voices to convey affection;
4. The singing voice can be summarized in eight words: "smooth and straight, vigorous and thick".
The characteristics of Zhou Xinfang's body can be summarized as follows:
1. Agile and neat, accurate and vivid + free and washed;
2. Be good at expressing the inner feelings and thought changes of the characters through external actions;
3. The techniques of "chest python", "sleeve breaking", and "hair shaking" go deep into the bone marrow of the character.
Zhou Xinfang's disciples included Cheng Yuzhang, Gao Baisheng, Xu Minchu, Li Shaochun, Ming Yukun, Li Hezeng, and so on.
Zhou Xinfang's first father-in-law, Liu Xiangyun, was also a Peking Opera actor, and his second father-in-law, Ju Shide, was also famous. His son Zhou Shaolin is also a veteran of Peking Opera. What is called the family, this is called the family.
Remember, Zhou Xinfang's stage name is "Qilin Tong". I'll bring this up later.
Speaking of "Qilin Boy", we must also mention one person, that is, Zhu Kuoquan. He was one of the famous "Five Masters of Cross-Talk" (Gao Deming, Zhang Jieyao, Zhu Kuoquan, Xu Degui, and Tang Jincheng) in Beijing in the 1930s.
Master Zhu Kuoquan is Jiao Dehai, one of the "Eight Virtues of Cross-Talk", and his fellow disciples include Zhang Shouchen, Li Shouzeng, Fu Shouyan, Li Shouqing, Ye Shouting, Yu Junbo, Chang Lian'an, Tang Jincheng, Yu Kunjiang, Yin Fengqi, Yan Zhichen, Lu Caixiang, bai Baoting, and so on.
Look, Zhu Kuoquan is definitely a cattle man, right? At that time, he worked in the Xidan xiangsheng shed and was well-known in Beijing.
In the summer of 1933, Zhou Xinfang, a master of the Qi sect of Peking Opera, entered Beijing to perform at the Guangde Building (this name is familiar, right?). It is now deyun she Guangde Lou) performance representative plays "Xiao He Yuexia Chasing Han Xin", "Xu Ce Running City" and so on. The master is coming, and the tickets are naturally easy to sell. Zhu Kuoquan, who is also a master of music art, is also one of the fans of Qilin Tong, and he gladly went to Guangde Lou to meet Zhou Xinfang. The two masters were about to meet, and gossip reporters were waiting to write tabloid news about the meeting between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinfang's appeal was too strong and too strong, and the tickets had already been sold out when Zhu Kuoquan rushed to the Guangde Building. Without a ticket, the concierge blocked the car, no matter how Zhu Kuoquan explained it, it would not help. The concierge was also very helpless, saying: "This is the rule set by boss Qi, please sir be more inclusive." ”
Zhu Kuoquan said, "I am Zhu Kuoquan, a friend of Boss Qi."
The concierge said, "Well, please Mr. Zhu wait a while and wait for me to go to The Qi Qi Boss." ”
The concierge hurried to the backstage and told Zhou Xinfang, who pondered for a while and said, "In Beiping, I don't have a friend named Zhu Kuoquan?" ”
The concierge added with his hand, "Mr. Zhu is fat..."
Zhou Xinfang said, "I don't dare to admit it, please come back." ”
The concierge returned to the door and said to Zhu Kuoquan, "Boss Qi doesn't know you, I don't have you as a friend, please come back." ”
Zhu Kuoquan listened to the concierge's words, was dumbfounded, and thought: Zhou Xinfang is such a big shelf! However, he came to Guangde Lou to visit Zhou Xinfang, and even if he had resentment, he could not have a seizure. Therefore, he begged the concierge to go to the Zhiqi boss again. The concierge was annoyed and said angrily: "No matter how polite you are, Boss Qi doesn't know you, so let's spend money to buy tickets to watch the show." ”
The concierge's words made Zhu Kuoquan ashamed of himself, and he rushed to the door, turned around and left. As soon as he walked on the way back, Zhu Kuoquan thought more and more, and scolded in his heart: "Good you Unicorn Boy!" I take in apprentices called 'Unicorn Boy'! Shame on you! ”
Later, Zhu Kuoquan took in three apprentices, the eldest apprentice was surnamed Li and took the stage name "Li Baoqi", the second apprentice "Xiao You'er" was named "Hou Baolin", and the third apprentice was surnamed Wang, and the stage name was Wang Baotong. Look, the three apprentices have stage names of "Baoqi", "Baolin" and "Baotong", and together they are not "Qilin Tong"? It was really a stage name given to the apprentice according to his previous wishes.
Of course, later, the second disciple changed his stage name, and he changed "Baolin" to "Baolin"; this is hou Baolin after liberation, in order to eliminate this misunderstanding, he deliberately changed the word "Lin" to the homophonous "Lin" character, which is also the origin of "Hou Baolin".
Zhu Kuoquan also has a nickname called "big bread", he actually has an apprentice named Wang Fengshan, Wang Fengshan has an apprentice named Jin Wensheng, and Jin Wensheng has an apprentice named Guo Degang. From this branch, Zhu Kuoquan was Guo Degang's master.
Of course, Zhu Kuoquan's most famous apprentice was Hou Baolin, and Hou Baolin pulled another disciple named Ma Zhiming. Hou Baolin's second son was named Hou Yaohua, his third son was called Hou Yaowen, and Hou Yaowen had an apprentice named Guo Degang.
Qu Yi's elders were angry and entangled, and they couldn't imagine that the descendants of later generations were Guo Degang.
Haha, suddenly remembered the countryside when I was a child, there were contradictions between the neighbors and adults, but the children should play with each other.
Interesting, so interesting! I really couldn't imagine that the two cattle people who were both masters were so small-bellied.
