"Three more into dreams, four more self-conscious." Twenty years of diligent study and hard work, only to fight for the day, the words are round, with love to bring voice, two hundred years of Peking Opera family does not forget the original heart. "
In the third session of the high-end fashion cross-border salon "Future Life +" held by jstyle, Tan Zhengyan, a young Peking Opera artist and the seventh generation of the first family of Chinese Peking Opera, tan Zhengyan, who recounted his personal experience, won "full of color", and Tan Zhengyan was invited to share his unique insights on "ingenuity, inheritance and innovation".
Spanning more than 100 years, "Dingjun Mountain" has six "Huang Zhong": tan xiaopei, Tan Xinpei and Tan Fuying in the upper row from left to right, and Tan Xiaozeng, Tan Yuanshou and Tan Zhengyan in the lower row from left to right. Speaking of inheritance, Tan Zhengyan, who was born in a Peking Opera family, has too much to talk about. Since he was a child, he often heard the elderly in his family talk about some family training, such as: "Loyalty to the family for a long time, filial piety first", "idle to know the busy to use", etc., these rules subtly affect Tan Zhengyan's growth and artistic exploration. Tan Zhengyan picked up a picture album called "Tongguang Thirteen Absolutes" on the spot, introducing Peking Opera and introducing the tan family's distant ancestor "Susheng Taidou" Mr. Tan Xinpei, who was the most popular horn in front of Cixi. He said that many representatives of the Tan family's artistic heritage and innovation shared why only Zhuge Liang in "Lost Space Chop" would wear the Chao Zhu that only existed in the Qing Dynasty, and singing "Empty City Plan" would borrow immortal qi to wear the ancestral silk arrow suit, and showed the picture scroll of "Dingjun Mountain" of the six generations of Tan Pai, it is worth mentioning that the first silent film in the history of Chinese cinema "Dingjun Mountain" was also starred by Mr. Tan Xinpei.
Listening to Tan Zhengyan tell the family story, you will feel the thickness of the family history and the responsibility he bears for the inheritance of art. As a descendant of Tan Pai, Tan Zhengyan is lucky, because in the pear garden industry, Tan Pai is the first family, and he has so many innate glory and cultural genes. But as the "Seventh Generation of Tan", the pressure on the body should also be incomprehensible to outsiders, it is really "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight", Tan Pai has passed on a seedling for thousands of acres, and how many people's expectations have fallen on Tan Zhengyan. Leaving aside "transcendence" and "innovation", even if it can reproduce the "stunts" of Tan Pai, it is a difficult task and challenge.
"Three more into dreams, four more self-conscious." Twenty years of diligent study and hard work, only to fight for the day", I don't know how many hard practice memories came to mind when Tan Zhengyan was reading. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to learn art, and it is even more difficult to persist. When encountering difficulties, others may have a way to retreat, but Tan Zhengyan cannot retreat, because his surname is Tan, because he is the "seventh generation of Tanmen". Tan Zhengyan grew up under the influence of traditional Chinese culture, and in addition to Peking Opera, he also liked Chinese symbolic elements such as Chinese painting and martial arts. He said: "All three have similarities, they have been passed down for many years, and they are not limited to genres. As a Peking Opera actor, he can learn a lot from Chinese painting and martial arts. My grandfather told me that if you want to get closer to art, you must pick up the ink paintings, because you can understand a lot of Peking Opera stage things from the paintings." If you want to learn more about "Tan Pai Art", Tan Zhengyan said that the old house of Mr. Tan Xinpei, the "Susheng Taidou" near the Liuli Factory, will soon be made into a museum for everyone to visit.
Tan Zhengyan (left), Tan Yuanshou (middle), and Tan Xiaozeng (right) performed "Dingjun Mountain" on the same stage Tan Zhengyan while studying hard to inherit the "Tan School", but also spared no effort to promote Peking Opera to young audiences. He said: "At present, Peking Opera is indeed not as good as it was then, after all, there are so many types of stage artworks now, which definitely diverts the audience." But Peking Opera is a good thing, and I hope more people can understand it and like it. In fact, there is no threshold for listening to Peking Opera, and its storytelling, artistry, and ornamentation are very eye-catching. Chinese culture is splendid and brilliant, Peking Opera as the epitome of cultural essence, it can be all-encompassing, you can like to sing, you can also like to dress, you can even like the rich cultural elements, totems and symbols of Peking Opera. "
In order to promote Peking Opera, Tan Zhengyan tried to use Peking Opera and various stage arts to do cross-border integration, hoping to arouse the interest of young people. He also worked with Ma Yingying, the founder of Debut Culture, to give shine to a 200-year-old Tianyuan Ancient Opera Building on Qianmen Xianyukou Street, which they transformed into the world's first Peking Opera Experience Hall. This old theater building covering an area of 5,000 square meters, Mr. Mei Lanfang appeared on the stage of Tianyuan Park at the age of 17 and stayed here for four years. In 1930, Fu Liancheng, the most famous Peking opera in the history of Chinese Peking Opera, performed here. In 1951, Tianyuan Held the Celebration of the Establishment of the Chinese Opera Research Institute, and Chairman Mao's handwritten inscription "A Hundred Flowers Bloom, Bring out the Old and bring Out the New" was born here, and there is too much glorious history of Peking Opera masters on this stage. As a disseminator of fashionable Peking Opera, Tan Zhengyan will have his own "home" here.
The reason why Tianyuan Will Bring New Hope and Infinite Possibilities to Peking Opera is because this Peking Opera Experience Hall not only has a stage, but also a combination of Chinese cuisine and Peking Opera, Peking Opera costumes and derivatives, and will also integrate Peking Opera with technology, ar, vr, interaction, experience, Peking Opera will also become a way of life that can be tasted, integrated into people's daily lives.
Tan Zhengyan also revealed that in fact, Peking Opera is not like everyone thinks that "no one cares", many schools now have Peking Opera classes to study, and many stars have expressed to Tan Zhengyan that they want to learn and promote Peking Opera, such as Zhang Yixing, Zhang Ruoyun, Ren Dahua, Pan Yueming and others.
The integration of Peking Opera and cross-border may be popular or even classical. Art has no borders, as a national essence, Peking Opera has great inclusiveness and openness, and if it is integrated with any art, it will always shine. The use of traditional Peking Opera to cooperate with other stage arts across borders is also something that Tan Zhengyan likes very much now.
Tan Zhengyan likes to share the topic of Peking Opera, gentle and elegant, he likes to smile, his smile is a bit like a spring breeze. In his daily life, in addition to Peking Opera, he also likes a lot of popular culture content. He loves football, and as an old Beijing, he is a fan of Beijing Guoan. And you may not think, Tan Zhengyan is also a die-hard fan of "Dragon Ball", he collected a lot of "Dragon Ball" derivatives, he said: "I am a person who can't walk when I see "Dragon Ball". He also loves to beat the glory of the king and talk to each other. On the day of the salon, Tan Zhengyan was wearing a modern suit, but a diancui brooch on the chest was very eye-catching, and the diancui was the headdress in the Peking Opera, so the cross-border collocation in the costume was also very fashionable. Today's Peking Opera actors have long been rid of the traditional image that people remember, and have begun to find a match between fashion trends and traditional Peking Opera, and make some innovative ways to play.
For the Tan school, "Tan Eight Generations" is a big thing, and even for the pear garden is a big thing, and the "Tan School art" of 200 years has been passed down from generation to generation. In the face of the inheritance and innovation mission of the national essence, Tan Zhengyan said that he was duty-bound, and what he could do was to persist in a down-to-earth manner, "only forward, not backward", looking forward to the next glory of Peking Opera.
