Reflections on the Inheritance of China Traditional Opera

The important aesthetic features of China's traditional operas formed in the long history are the concentration of the value orientation contained in the lifestyle of the Chinese nation. The audience's support for outstanding actors who adhere to the aesthetics of traditional opera performance, and their enthusiastic response to the performance of classic plays in competition performances, strongly feel the development hope of China traditional opera-from history to the future, and continue the blood of national culture. From more than half of the classic plays in the contest, we can see the present situation and significance of the inheritance of traditional plays. These repertoires include the Kunqu Opera The White Rabbit Bites the Bellybutton Lang by the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre (actor Liu Wei), the Shao Opera She Taijun by Zhejiang Shaoju Art Research Institute (actor Shi Jie), Zhao Jintang by Shaanxi Opera Research Institute (actor Wei Xiaoli), the Peking Opera The Legend of the White Snake by Heilongjiang Peking Opera Theatre (actor Ma Jia) and the Han Opera Cosmic Front by Wuhan Han Theatre.

These classic dramas, which have experienced wind and rain, can not only maintain the eternal charm across time and space with the theme of truth, goodness and beauty, but also have exquisite artistic expression techniques, which are not only favored by the participating actors, but also praised by the audience. Ma Jia is born after 80. In 2009, he studied under Liu Xiurong, a famous Peking Opera teacher. She likes traditional Chinese opera and confidently chose Legend of the White Snake to take part in the competition. "Because this kind of traditional opera can fully show Dan Jiao's performing arts, especially Hu can show the charm of the White Snake. Duanyang has sleeves, stealing grass with a sword and a double gun. Wei Xiaoli also believes that traditional drama can better reflect the actor's singing, reading, doing and dancing, and can better show the actor's versatility and plasticity. Lv Chen, who is in her twenties, works in Guangxi Institute of Ethnic Culture and Arts, and this time she is here to observe and study. She thinks that the moral education in Zhao Jintang and Legend of the White Snake is subtle and easily accepted by the audience. Unlike some so-called fashion dramas, they tend to entertain the public excessively.

Jiang Zhitao, a drama critic, said: "There are indeed very valuable things in traditional dramas, and all the dramas that can be preserved praise truth, goodness and beauty in content. In addition, China traditional operas have accumulated unique expression techniques, stylized performances, and industry characteristics. Of course, the performance of each era has undergone changes. For example, The White Rabbit is one of the four major operas in Southern Opera, which celebrates the true feelings of mother and son. This version of Wei Liu's performance is also processed, but it still focuses on discovering the essence of traditional Chinese opera. For a while, we didn't organize traditional operas. It is right to attach importance to and cultivate originality, but we must be careful not to hurt traditional operas unintentionally. " Artists such as Bai also expressed their excitement about the popularity of classic plays.

Traditional Chinese opera is historical and lives in the present.

China's traditional operas are both historical and contemporary. At present, it is generally believed in the field of traditional Chinese opera that to maintain the vitality of traditional Chinese opera, it is necessary not only to maintain classics, but also to have outstanding contemporary originality.
