On the Aesthetic Characteristics of China Traditional Opera

1. Show the spiritual connotation of China people.

In the long-term development, Chinese opera has accumulated a considerable number of plays, which are suitable for overseas performances? In the face of cultural differences, we are most worried that the audience can't understand, so most of them tend to choose dramas with simple plots and no need for multi-language communication. As a result, martial arts, monkey dramas, short stories and passbook dramas that rely heavily on action become the first choice, while Sanchakou, picking up jade bracelets, disturbing the heavenly palace and scattering flowers by goddess are the most commonly chosen dramas. With the strengthening of China's national strength and the increasing interest of foreigners in China culture, China opera needs the most representative plays to show its charm and the spiritual outlook of China people.

2. Reflect the unique aesthetic charm of China.

China's traditional drama is a performing art. China opera has a unique way of performance, which combines singing, reading, doing and acting. The characters in the play are divided into different industries, and the performances of each industry are different. China's operas are very different from western stage performances, while China's operas follow the principles of stylization and virtualization, pay attention to charm and have distinct oriental aesthetic characteristics. The strangeness brought by this difference to overseas audiences is the premise of cultural collision and exchange.

3. Combination of tradition and modernity

The stage of traditional Chinese opera is simple, and "one table and two chairs" is a common arrangement. This simple prop can be transformed into everything in the world, and the audience can imagine different scenes through the actors' performances. Over time, the traditional Chinese opera stage has formed a freehand brushwork style, instead of pursuing the truth of the environment, it pursues the ethereal artistic conception.
