The synopsis of the story of Henan Opera Chaoyanggou!

Chaoyanggou's unique taste and special position in the history of modern drama in China are indisputable and irreplaceable. The play was premiered in Zhengzhou on May 1958 by the Third Troupe of Henan Henan Opera Academy, with screenwriter Yang Lanchun, directors Yang Lanchun and Xu Xin, music designer Wang Jixiao and Jiang Hongxuan, and stage art designer Guan Peng.

Introduction of works

The play has been published in a book. The whole drama ***8 shows Yin Huan, who graduated from high school, going to Chaoyanggou, the hometown of her fiance Shuanbao, to participate in agricultural production. She met a series of difficulties and was shaken in her mind. With the help of grass-roots Party branches and the masses in China, and because of her deep affection for the land and crops cultivated in labor, she realized that the countryside is also a vast world where educated youth can contribute, and finally took root in the countryside. Chaoyanggou has made some achievements in expressing modern life in the form of traditional operas. In addition to the hero's silver ring, the play also depicts the simple and honest farmers' images such as Bao Bao, Bao Niang, Bao Da, Er Auntie, and the old branch secretary. These characters are full of brand-new thoughts and feelings, showing the spiritual outlook of farmers in the socialist era. The language of the whole drama is full of personality characteristics, life breath and local color; The lyrics are vivid, funny and lively. The story of the script is complete, the characters are concentrated, and achievements have been made in using traditional structural methods. 1963 Chaoyanggou was made into a drama art film. Peking Opera, Pingju Opera, Luxi Opera, Peking Opera and Humorous Opera all transplanted and interpreted this play. (See Chaoyanggou's colorful Henan Opera (Wei Yun as a silver ring and Chang Xiangyu as a nanny))

It is worth mentioning that in 1982, according to the changes of rural life, Yang Lanchun also created the sequel of Chaoyanggou, Biography of Chaoyanggou.

Development of works

Chaoyanggou was transplanted by many operas. 65438-0958 Chinese Opera School was adapted and rehearsed by 50 classes of Peking Opera students, directed by Xun Lingxiang and Zhao Rongxin, starring Qu and Sun Hongxun. 1963, the Experimental Peking Opera Troupe of China Opera Research Institute was reorganized, written by Song Deyang, directed by Liu Muduo and starring Liu Xiurong and Li Guang. The performance of this book was planned to participate in the 1964 National Peking Opera Modern Drama Observation and Performance Conference, but due to unpredictable reasons, the play was rejected by Jiang Qing and never performed.

After the "Cultural Revolution", Ma Shuhua, Li Xiuyun, etc. Tianjin Pingju Theatre has a Pingju performance book.

No matter what the theme of the play is (in fact, there are only a handful of works during the Great Leap Forward that really stand the test of time), its classicality is beyond doubt. Chaoyanggou's musical image is epoch-making, which is believed to be unprecedented in the history of Henan Opera. What other drama can create such a miracle, whether the protagonist or supporting role, regardless of size, can become a "popular" song?

After graduation, Shuanbao first returned to his hometown Chaoyanggou, but Yin Huan's mother resolutely opposed her daughter's going to the countryside. After Yin Huan fled to Chaoyanggou, the horse chased Chaoyanggou and asked his daughter to go back with her. I felt in a dilemma, but with the encouragement of Shuanbao, the old branch secretary came forward to do the work of the horse and decided to keep it with bolts. Everything in the countryside makes Yin Huan feel novel. She devoted herself to agricultural production and labor. ...

Chaoyanggou is a stage art film of Henan Opera, which brings the works of the same name of Henan Opera to the big screen. The film tells the story of young intellectuals going to the countryside to participate in construction and exercise in the 1950s, which caused great repercussions at that time. The plot of the film is mostly based on the little things in life, which is very human. It captures the audience with the characteristics of life, and its characters are distinctive and unique. Henan Opera has beautiful and wonderful vocals and is deeply loved by the audience. Several famous passages in the play are still talked about by Henan opera lovers and sung endlessly. [Edit this paragraph] Place name: Chaoyanggou There are two Chaoyanggou in reality

A Cao village in Daye Township, Dengfeng City (formerly Dengfeng County) once experienced life here. It is also the prototype of the famous modern opera "Chaoyanggou" and the main characters in the play, Silver Ring and Shuanbao. As a famous modern opera writer, Yang Lanchun has made indelible contributions in the history of China opera, especially in the creation of modern opera. Chaoyanggou, a Henan opera created by him in the 1960s, has been performed for nearly half a century and has been favored by all walks of life. The plot has influenced several generations, especially in North China and the Central Plains.

The second is Chaoyanggou in Handan, Hebei Province, which was renamed Chaoyanggou to commemorate the hometown of Yang. Liejiang Village, Guantao Township, Wu 'an City, an old revolutionary base area in the west of Handan City, is located at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, 90 kilometers away from Handan City and 65 kilometers away from Wu 'an City. This is the birthplace of Yang Lanchun, a famous modern playwright in China.

Liejiang Village, located in Taihang Mountain area, has developed Chaoyanggou Scenic Area with its unique advantages. The scenic spot is east-west, surrounded by mountains, cliffs and rugged boulders on three sides, and the forest coverage rate accounts for more than 90% of the total area of the scenic spot. The scenic spot covers an area of 8 square kilometers, with symmetrical gullies and depressions in the north and south 12, each with its own characteristics. In the scenic area, Yangchun flowers and trees are flourishing, and a hundred birds contend. In midsummer, the spring water is clear and the water keeps flowing. Climbing to the top of the mountain gives you a panoramic view of the whole scenic spot, making you feel happy and relaxed. It is a natural "big oxygen bar". Chaoyanggou Scenic Area has become an important part of Mingheyuan Forest Park in Hebei Province, and the Wu 'an Municipal Government has listed Chaoyanggou as the first leading village for returning farmland to forests to build an ecologically strong city.

Chaoyanggou landscape is divided into 5 scenic spots and 5 routes, with 80 main scenic spots and landscape 160. The special scenic spots that can be visited include Yang Lanchun in Lianjiang Village, Shuanbao, Yin Huan's former residence, the original scenic spots of Chaoyanggou in Henan Opera, such as Yangpo Leng, Dongshantou, Yecaowan, Dieshuiyan, etc. Other main landscapes include virgin forest park, shanzhai ruins, Black Dragon Cave, Matou Mountain, Lion Peak, Wusheng Temple, Yinmaquan, Baibu Ladder, Yixiantian and Dianshuiyan. At the same time, the scenic spot has transformed the current village into a "farmhouse resort" integrating eating, living, shopping and entertainment, and built a "folk culture street" on the mountain, transforming the small farmhouse into a "Chaoyanggou Cinema" and a "Chaoyanggou Opera Singing Center", showing movies for tourists free, and hiring professional actors to sing opera excerpts on the spot. It provides an opportunity for tourists to walk into nature and Chaoyang ditch. [Edit this paragraph] In the small column under the big locust tree in the first issue of Village, the prototype of Chaoyanggou was traced back, and "Interesting Watching Chaoyanggou" was broadcast, and many viewers expressed great interest. We specially wrote down the interesting tidbits in the interview for you to read and learn more.

"Walk a hurdle, climb a mountain, the air in the ravine is good, so fresh-"Whenever this familiar lyric is sung, people can't help but think of the sensational modern Henan opera "Chaoyanggou"; Can not help but remind people of that past, that era. At that time, the love story of "Silver Ring" and "Shuanbao" once infected and inspired many people. The characters in the play have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the names such as "Yin Huan Ma", "Er Yi" and "Qiao Zhen Er" are well known to women and children. But what does the prototype of these characters have to do in real life? Where do they live today? How's life? Is the family happy? A series of curiosity and questions prompted the reporter to set foot on Chaoyanggou, a legendary land.

The tortuous road of interview

It turns out that the name of Chaoyanggou is Caojiawan. The name comes from the story of Xi Juan Tong, a Henan opera. Up to now, the village still retains the site of "Cao Family Courtyard", and the allusion of "Cangwa" is also circulated everywhere. It turned out that everyone in this village was surnamed Cao. Later, Cao Baoshan, the magistrate of Luoyang, committed a great crime because of the history of the "Cangwa" in heaven. In order to avoid collective punishment, the whole village was renamed "Zhao" overnight, which is probably the same rhyme, to show that it dare not forget its roots! 1978, a song "Chaoyanggou" was popular all over the country, and Caojiagou was officially renamed Chaoyanggou.

Before people entered the village, we already felt the uniqueness of Chaoyanggou. Rows of corn and rows of sorghum stood in the wind like salutes, exactly as described in the play. I met a group of young eldest sisters-in-law washing clothes at the entrance of the village. They are also familiar with the story of Chaoyanggou. I heard that we were going to interview "Yin Huan". Everyone told us noisily that Yin Huan had married a small mountain village called Huaishan in Xishi Village, Daye Town, but today I saw Yin Huan working in Chaoyanggou Reservoir. When we got the news, we immediately got excited and prepared to go to the reservoir first, but suddenly we found that the microphone was broken. How can I interview without it? So the team split in two, looking for a silver ring and repairing the microphone. Time passed, and the car that repaired the microphone hasn't come back yet. Seeing the sun set, I'm afraid today's interview plan will be ruined!

Met Zhao by chance.

When I was about to be disappointed, I finally heard the familiar horn sounded, and several people jumped on the bus and headed for the reservoir. No one spoke on the road, and everyone was worried that they could not find the silver ring after dark. Everyone has a big question mark in his heart, which is getting stronger and stronger with the ups and downs of the mountain road.

Suddenly, the village head of the same company shouted, "Aunt Yin Huan, stop the car quickly. This is Yin Huan! " "Suddenly, the car stopped and looked at us with a smile. The" Silver Ring "quilt was confused and she was not informed in advance that day, which made Silver Ring strange and embarrassed!

It turns out that Yin Huan is not an educated youth who goes to the countryside, but a native countryman. She didn't go to high school. At best, she is a high school culture. When Yang Lanchun wrote her into the play, she probably felt that she had such a hard-working and unyielding character! Until now, we can still feel her eyes.

When I first arrived in Chaoyanggou, I heard that Yin Huan was not very talkative and easy to communicate, and had been keeping a low profile for so many years. At that time, "Chaoyanggou" was an instant hit, and the silver ring was recommended to villages, counties and cities step by step until it became a representative of the provincial people's congress. It was also received by leaders at the central, provincial and municipal levels. At the people's congress, others were as curious about her as we were, surrounded her, followed her and asked her for her autograph, but she refused because she was embarrassed. After so many years, she is still a dull life. Whether there is a halo on her head or not, like millions of ordinary farmers in China, she works at sunrise and stays at sunset, living in her own world without competition.

Speaking of the past years, Silver Ring's face flushed. "When I was young, I was always proactive and willing to work." Unexpectedly, the silver ring, which is taciturn in appearance, also has a competitive heart, and this progress stems from the love of new life, regardless of any conditions and requirements.

How changeable fate is.

Yin Huan never dreamed that, since 1973, she worked conscientiously and practically in the township family planning office, and she was laid off overnight when she was laid off. Even she wondered why she had done nothing but carelessness for more than 20 years.

Originally; She hasn't gone through any formal formalities since she joined the work. With her qualifications, it goes without saying that it is not a problem to become a full member, as long as she is willing to be a cadre or even a leader. But the silver ring, which has always been honest, only knows where to think of so many rules and regulations when working. That was not the case. Even the living expenses of thousands of dollars paid every year two years ago are gone. During the Spring Festival this year, her son was killed in a car accident, which was like a bolt from the blue for Yin Huan, and made her see life and fame more thoroughly and lightly. ......

My lover is Zhang, an ordinary worker in Daye Town. Later, he returned to his hometown to farm. After the reform and opening up, an aluminum factory was opened with economic mind. It was very popular at first, but after a few years, the economic benefits took a sharp turn, and it closed down after a long time. Laid-off, son killed, economic distress, this series of blows made Yin Huan miserable, and his brow was a little sad.

Yin Huan's 86-year-old mother was healthy and capable when she was young. Her children were afraid of her when they were young, but now she is old and can't live without people. Yin Huan still keeps in touch with artists such as Yang Lanchun and Wei Yun, but she always thinks that this play is just a play, and she is herself. The past is nostalgic, but now she is old and can't do it well. ...

"Suibao" is now peaceful.

Mention "Shuabao" and people will think of that stubborn, sincere and simple guy. The village chief told us that the prototype "Shuanbao" had already "married far away" and became a son-in-law at home. Younger people in Chaoyanggou don't know much about him, and "Shuanbao" hasn't come back for many years. This aroused our curiosity about him. Why did Shuanbao leave Chaoyanggou? So we came to Wugang Village, Ludian Town. This country road is very narrow, so we may accidentally cross the road to other villages. At the head of Wugang village, there lived a family and asked them about tying treasures. The young hostess looked at us warily and said, "What do you want with him?" He can't sing! "When we explained our purpose, the host hurriedly took us to Longtangou, where Shuanbao lived." Shuanbao "lived in a strange place, neither at the top nor at the foot of the mountain, but in a small depression in the middle of the hillside, just like that thing" hanging "in the air. Three shabby houses, a big water tank and a pear tree constitute the place where their family of seven lives. The young man who came with us shouted at the front of the house, "Sister, there is a guest!" " "It turns out that he is the brother-in-law of" Shuabao "who didn't take five clothes. At this moment, a clean middle-aged woman came out of the room. She is Liu Chun, the lover of "Baby". Seeing that we came, she quickly moved several stools of different sizes for us, just when "Shuanbao" came back.

Seeing our camera lens facing him, "Shuanbao" looked very shy. He quickly put up his hoe and blocked his face. He turned his head and said, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, talk and shoot." Under his repeated insistence, we had to give up. Then he began a long process of washing his feet, chatting with us while washing. It turns out that the real name of "Shuanbao" is Zhao Shuanzhu. Twenty years ago, he was introduced, married a child from Liu Chun who was ten years younger than him, and became a son-in-law. Now he changed his name to Liu Xiansheng.

Do we ask him and the elephant who tied the treasure in the play? He grinned. If you want to say that he is like "Tie Bao", it may be that he never lags behind in school, has been very active, works as a water wheel, and performs well among young people of fifteen or sixteen! He didn't know that he was written into the script by the screenwriter. It was not until one day he saw the movie Chaoyanggou in the village that he realized that the prototype of the characters in the play was himself. In the natural disaster of 1990, his parents died of disease and hunger. Later, they were no longer friends, and his brother and sister-in-law were separated from him, leaving only "Shuanbao" to live alone. The villagers pitied him for not being able to live alone, so they took the lead in building a bridge for him and the children in Liu Chun. Liu Xian doesn't want to have too much contact with the outside world, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity. After decades of ups and downs, he wrapped himself up and his family lived a normal life.

While speaking, Liu Chun children dug a pile of peanuts from the ground and skillfully selected, cleaned and cooked them. Delicious peanuts, like Liu Xian's days, are neither greasy nor greasy, and occasionally reveal a little sweetness.

Now Liu Xian's eldest son works as a security guard in a company in Beijing. The second son has graduated from junior high school at the age of seventeen; The eleven-year-old daughter is smart and lovely, just like her mother. During the conversation, we felt that although their lives were not rich, they were full of warmth and happiness. As the saying goes, "there are blessings at home." When we left his home, Liu Xiansheng excitedly told reporters that this is the material for two sons, and construction will be started years ago. The house is the center of life, and the son is the hope of life.

"Spice Girl" Qiaozhen

In Dongtou Village, Daye Town, "Qiaozhener" is a famous figure. People in the village, old and young, up and down, don't like her. So we found her home with little effort. Before entering the door, I saw Qiaozhen's big white goose braying at the door, with her alert neck high, as if she were doubting our identity. It can be said that Qiaozhen in life and Qiaozhen in Chaoyanggou are the same person. She speaks fast, bold and daring, and dares to love and hate. In people's impression, Qiao Zhen's stubborn personality and two upturned croissants all seem so kind and enthusiastic. Qiaozhen, who used to be an aunt, saw us "rush in" and the Qiaozhen couple who bowed their heads to peanuts also rushed in. After understanding the purpose of our trip, she said shyly, "Nothing, nothing, always ugly." Say that finish face red. Talking about Qiaozhen's present life can only be regarded as opening her mouth: when she was eight years old, her family engaged her, and her husband's name was Li Gensong. At the age of nineteen, they got married, a bucket of sweet potato noodles, a catty of cotton and a sheet. After decades of ups and downs, she and her husband have been taking care of each other. Although they are married early, they have a good relationship! Not long ago, my husband retired from the town supply and marketing cooperative, and the couple took their children to enjoy family happiness.

Qiaozhen is a hard worker. From the shabby kiln where she lived when she first entered her husband's house to the two-story building with blue bricks and green tiles, she and her husband suffered a lot, and only they know the taste best. In the early 1980s, Qiaozhen scrimped and saved a few dollars, bought the first tractor in the village with others, and later trained her eldest son to run and transport. His family opened a sales organization, and wheat threshers and Yang Changji were added in succession. The days are booming day by day, a family of eight people is prosperous, and his son, daughter-in-law and grandson are very filial. Therefore, Qiaozhen's little life is really beautiful and enviable.

Qiaozhen's family is piled with newly picked peanuts, corn, strings of fiery red peppers and a purple-topped grape. Well, Aunt Qiaozhen steamed a pot of sweet potato noodles, and everyone "sent" one to us, holding steaming steamed bread in their hands, which made our hearts warm.
