Summarize the development of Hebei Bangzi and tell the course of Hebei Bangzi culture.

There must be many people who don't know about the development of Hebei Bangzi. Maybe you know the present situation of Hebei Bangzi, but you don't know what it looked like when it declined. This article will tell you about the course of Hebei Bangzi culture, which is a little-known hard course and admirable for its present development!

develop

Hebei Bangzi has developed very rapidly after it has a unique look different from Shanshan Bangzi. By the turn of 1960s and 1970s, there were many class clubs in this province. With the emergence of a large number of class clubs and a large number of outstanding actors, Hebei Bangzi began to show a prosperous situation at the turn of the Qing Dynasty.

This is also the first development climax in its history. The vigorous rise of Hebei Bangzi, together with Piquan Opera (that is, Peking Opera), which was dominant in Beijing at that time, formed a situation of competing for novelty and beauty. Hebei Bangzi Troupe and Troupe are almost all over Hebei. The emergence of a large number of class associations has made Hebei Bangzi an unparalleled drama in rural areas.

descend

In 1930s, Hebei Bangzi went into decline, which first started in big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, and then spread to small and medium-sized cities. The decline in rural areas is slow. By the end of 1940s, it began to decline and was almost extinct. 193 1 After Japan invaded China, Hebei Bangzi artists who were active in northeast China fled back to Shanhaiguan in large numbers.

Hebei Bangzi Club in rural Hebei also disintegrated. Hebei Bangzi artists with profound attainments and good conditions mostly go to cities to study Peking Opera or Pingju. Hebei Bangzi Club no longer exists in Beijing, but there are still scattered artists performing hat plays in the amusement park of Tianqiao. There are only a few individual artists singing in Tianjin. Most Hebei Bangzi artists in Beijing and Tianjin were forced to change careers. In rural areas, a large number of class clubs have also been dissolved, and some artists even make a living by begging and singing.

During the Japanese puppet regime, there was no organized Hebei Bangzi Society in Peiping, but there were Hebei Bangzi Hat children's dramas in Honglou Opera Garden and Xiaoxiao Opera Garden in Tianqiao. The performance income of Hebei Bangzi artists is extremely meager.

Tianjin is the most concentrated place for Hebei Bangzi class clubs and artists, with a deep audience base. However, during the period of the puppet regime, Hebei Bangzi actually fell to the point where there were no clubs, only bird markets, triangular areas and tea gardens in the west, and occasionally scattered Hebei Bangzi artists "beat children" (paid performances by the hour).

In rural areas, the decline of Hebei Bangzi is slower than that of cities. However, in the 1940s, except for the occasional amateur performance of Hebei Bangzi at temple fairs or during the Spring Festival, there were few performances at ordinary times, and professional class clubs no longer existed. Hebei Bangzi artists in rural areas, like urban artists, some switched to other operas, some went ashore as farmers, and some made a living by singing and begging along the street.

resuscitation

Just when Hebei Bangzi Opera was on the verge of extinction, 1946 Peixin Drama Club with Bangzi was established in Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and Hebei Bangzi Troupe was also established in the Eighth Division of Jizhong. The establishment of these two opera groups saved the endangered Hebei Bangzi opera and accumulated strength for the revival of Hebei Bangzi. In addition, in the rural areas of the liberated areas, under the care of the democratic regime, the lives of many diaspora artists have also been guaranteed, and amateur troupes of farmers have been established one after another, and many artists have joined amateur troupes.

1949 after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Hebei bangzi began to fully recover. In Baoding, the original Peixin Drama Club of Jizhong Military Region was transformed into Hebei Experimental Theatre (Beijing, Pingzi and Bangzi co-staged), and soon it was transformed into the state-owned Hebei Bangzi Theatre. At the same time, many professional Hebei Bangzi Troupes have been established all over the province.

According to statistics, there are only regional performance groups: Baoding, Cangzhou, Tianjin, Hengshui, Shijiazhuang and other regional Hebei Bangzi Troupe; At the county level, there are Hebei Bangzi Troupe in Dingxian, Lixian, Mancheng, Xiongxian, Renqiu, Hejian, Raoyang, Qianxi, Huailai, Xinglong and Fengning counties.

In addition, 1955 established Hebei Opera School to ensure that Hebei Bangzi has successors. This is the first opera education institution in Hebei history, which was established by the state to train Hebei Bangzi talents. Most of the first and second graduates of the school later became the backbone of Hebei Bangzi performance group.

After a short recovery period, Hebei Bangzi Opera began to develop vigorously in the mid-1950s. By the early 1960s, Hebei Bangzi was fully revived. Many new literary and art workers joined the team of Hebei Bangzi and cooperated with artists to carry out artistic reform and creation, which is also an important factor in the revival of Hebei Bangzi.

condition

Narrow employment, few students, and difficult enrollment.

After the late 1980s, under the constant impact of various modern art forms, the survival of Hebei Bangzi once again fell into crisis, the performance market shrank, and the brain drain was serious, which urgently needed rescue and protection. [7] Drama school is the main base for training Hebei Bangzi talents, but it is difficult to recruit students for Hebei Bangzi major and there are few students, which has become an urgent problem.

Because art students have high tuition fees and a long training period, children and teenagers who have been practicing since the age of seven or eight are very hard and have high comprehensive quality requirements. Moreover, compared with Peking Opera, Hebei Bangzi graduates have a narrow employment scope, so many parents are reluctant to let their children enter the exam.

There are few newcomers and the talent reserve of the troupe is insufficient.

With some old artists retiring from the stage, the biggest problem faced by Hebei Bangzi Theatre is that the actors are green and yellow. The main actors are middle-aged, but many young actors are incomplete and their acting skills are not mature enough. Lack of talents has become the bottleneck of their career development. Due to the shortage of reserve talents, in the long run, Hebei Bangzi is likely to have the problem of lack of talents and successors.

The art form is ancient and the performance market is shrinking.

Insufficient government support and investment; With the change of market demand, the way of humanistic education is no longer the traditional single form-watching big plays; The art form of Hebei Bangzi is ancient, and it is difficult to sing, which is not conducive to popularization. Under the influence of multiculturalism, young people don't understand opera, which leads to the aging of opera audience. The performance market is shrinking day by day, and the number of professional troupes has dropped sharply, and some of them have existed in name only.

The conclusion is that not all history and culture can be passed down to the present, but what can be passed down to the present must be more important and popular!
