Since ancient times, all walks of life have formed their own "jargon" in long-term practice. There are countless "jargons" in the opera industry, and even some jargon has been used in our daily lives, such as the term "running dragon set" is also used in today's film and television industry. Today, let's take a look at the ten jargons in the opera industry that are related to "package" and see what these ten kinds of "package" mean.
Bottom pack
The bottom bag is also known as the team, the "bottom" here has the meaning of the cornerstone under the building, referring to the basic members of the old drama class that does not include the main actors, including the supporting actors and "martial arts", "dragon sets", "flags, gongs, umbrellas, newspapers", "Yahuan Cainu" and other mass actors, bands and backstage management costume props and other professionals.
Most of the old drama classes did not have main actors, and the main actors were all hired by outsiders, who came here to "take the shift" and "pick the sorghum" to perform with the team personnel. The main actors of shengdan net ugly are called "four beams and four pillars". Therefore, the main actor plays the role of "beam and pillar" in the building, and together with the bottom bag that plays the role of the cornerstone, a play can be performed.

Follow the package
The follower bag is a private person who specializes in makeup and costume management carried by the main actors in the old days, also known as "the one who follows the bag". In the earliest days, he only managed the actor's water cup, because the throat was the life of the opera actor, and water was needed at any time, so the water cup of the opera actor was managed by a special person. Later, there were more and more things to do with package management.
The writer Xu Chi, who had studied Chinese opera, had a passage in his novella Peony in the 1960s: "At that time, in the dressing room under the stage, which was not the protagonist, but a supporting role, there were no longer six famous actors waiting for him to walk through the line with Bao. ”
In the movie "Farewell to the Overlord", Cheng Dieyi, played by Zhang Guorong, as a master, has a dialogue with the apprentice, which shows that he was very common with Bao at that time. In fact, the custom of heeling bags has been rare since the 1950s, and it has basically disappeared.
Belt bags
The belt bag is a kind of opera costume, generally pure white, the style is long and short, some are tied under the armpits, some are tied to the waist, and both men and women can wear it. It is generally the people who are in a hurry, sick, prisoners and low social status who wear pockets.
Danjiao such as Cao Yulian in "Walking Snow", Bai Yunxian in "Broken Bridge", You Gengniang in "The Biography of Gengniang", etc.; raw horns such as Su Wu in "Su Wu Shepherd", Zhuge Liang in "Sacrifice Lamp", Feng Yan when "sitting in prison" in "Jade Tiger Fall", etc. There are also short-waist bags, which are worn by the shopkeeper and the low-status workers of the guys, such as bartenders and guys, such as old Xue Bao in "Three Niangs And godsons", Hu Lai in "Picking Up Gold" and so on.

Flag pack
Flag bag, also known as "flag handle", is a general term for "masonry". "Masonry" is interpreted as "what" in the "Mo'e Xiaolu", and the flag bag also includes the props and simple sets mentioned today. Chinese opera originally called props "flag pack" or "masonry end", and the name of masonry was first seen in Yuanqu, which is derived from the meaning of the Mongolian "masonry" - "decoration in the tent". There is an opera proverb: "The last flag pack, the sword, the stick, the gun, the knife, all for my use, the increase in style to add moves."
Props in opera (including characters' headdresses and costumes) play a very important role in the performing arts of opera: it can become an auxiliary means and component of body shape, thus serving the portrayal of characters and the expression of characters' thoughts and feelings.
Catch the package

People often call it "catching the third child", and in his later years, he called it "old rush" or "rushing to the public".
In "Visiting Relatives", Liu Chaisan plays a rural mother-in-law
Subcontracting

Sometimes these groups are in the same city, and sometimes they go to other cities to perform separately.
Once, Fu Lian Cheng's class was performed in two packages, and the opening scene was the auspicious play "Blessing of Heavenly Officials", and the Tianguan who was appointed by the old students had to sing a Kunqu opera. There is really no way to find an old student who can play the role of a heavenly official. Xiao Changhua rubbed his hands in a hurry. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ma Lianliang behind him, and the look seemed to have something to say, Xiao Changhua's heart moved, could it be that this child wanted to play the role of a heavenly official? So he asked, "Let you come to this Heavenly Official, okay?" ","Line". "Will you do that Kunqu opera?" , "Will", "Forget? "I haven't forgotten." "What about the body?" , "I've seen it all", "Is there a spectrum in that place?" "Yes, I have it all in mind." Sure enough, Ma Lianliang was very successful in acting.

Silver in pack
Bao Yin is the total salary paid by the main actors hired by the old drama class after the conclusion of the contract. If the contract has a one-year period and a one-month period, the annual or full-month salary may be paid in one lump sum, respectively. The Qing Dynasty used silver, and the Republic of China was silver ocean (ocean), so it was called baoyin, but those who paid by day were not called "baoyin" but "drama".
In addition, there are two common words in our lives today, "private room" and "private room". In the past, the theater and theater had specially set up single room seats, one of which had six or seven seats, and the box, as the name suggests, bought out this box.
