With the departure of the older generation, can China traditional opera culture continue to be passed down?

There is no fixed number of things in the world. It is an objective law that the old dies and the new comes into being. Gao Rui's "Chun Xue" is excellent, and it is normal for scholars and elites to praise and spread it. Some grass roots have been artistic, and it is equally normal to become literary dramas. A cultural phenomenon, art category, has a specific group. You don't cherish it, but others regard it as a treasure! The same is true of traditional operas in China. Some operas have only been circulated in a certain range for thousands of years, which shows that they have only adapted to that country's soil and water and are not easy to die out. Some of you tried your best to call, but no one answered. It would only die!

Take Kunming as an example, there are many local operas, such as Quju Opera and Guansuo Opera, which are only circulated among hundreds of thousands of people. When your city was occupied by millions of foreigners, the existence of these two operas was negligible. Besides, few of the hundreds of thousands of people like it, which is even worse. Lantern, Yunnan opera is much more artistic, especially Lantern, whose timbre also comes from folk songs and ballads. It is within the scope of opera that outsiders can accept and sing along. And a large number of folk artists consciously passed on. The old generation left and the new generation came in. Why? Artistic quality determines its existence. Although there is a national lantern theater, it is not idle all day!

Peking Opera is not a local opera in Yunnan, but because of the gathering of many first-class artists in the 1930s and 1950s, this remote town with a population of more than 100,000 has actually become a big pier for Chinese Peking Opera! Why? Because it developed for nearly a hundred years, it was widely accepted and eclectic on the basis of Central Plains operas, and became a national opera in the 1950s. Through the subsequent inheritance and development, it has gained the lofty status of treasures and national quintessence. With the efforts of Guan and his team, the flag of Yunnan School was set up after Beijing School and Shanghai School. Yunnan has become one of the top five Peking Opera performance bases in China (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Nanjing). Inherited performing artists occupy the northeast and southwest of China (Xing Meizhu, Li Peihong, Hou Danmei, Li Jingwen, etc. ), even abroad, even millions of newcomers in Kunming are familiar with Peking Opera. Not to mention the Beijing Opera Pier in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, where celebrities gather!

Although China's traditional operas, like other stage performances, have been impacted by new videos, new media and new intelligence, they have fallen behind. But 229 years of long experience and superb artistic achievements have gathered a large number of cultural scholars and art lovers. Today, the departure of the older generation can't end its existence.
