How about the children's play Oriental Night Tan?

Oriental Night Tan is a great drama premiered by Ruoer Troupe and Sima Zhongyuan, a famous literary writer in Taiwan Province Province in 2008. The play is adapted from three popular stories in Sima Zhongyuan-the adventures of the little woodcutter, the martial arts novel, and the story of Ma Lao's bite and the tiger.

Tzi-chiang Chao, who has devoted himself to the creation and development of children's dramas for many years, said that listening to grandma's stories every night as a child was the best memory of childhood. He remembers many interesting old stories, but when he can finally tell stories on the stage, he always keeps thinking. What should he tell modern children? He thinks The Arabian Nights is very famous in the west. A girl keeps telling good stories to save her life, which not only dispels the murderous look of the violent king, but also creates happiness for herself and the country. We also have our own "Oriental Night". Isn't it the stories written by grandma and Sima Zhongyuan that are full of oriental cultural spirit? So I decided the name of Oriental Night Tan before writing, and then decided to adapt three stories of Sima Zhongyuan told by my grandmother when I was a child, which was the most unforgettable.

In this way, the life in the story entered the drama, and my life once entered the story. In the play, Sima Liang, played by Cao Ziqiang, is a modern man who likes chivalrous stories but shakes his belief in justice, and is also a representative of many ordinary people. Like many people, he was taught by teachers and elders to help the weak and the poor, uphold justice, and draw out a sword to help when the road is bumpy. When I grow up, I gradually understand the importance of being wise and preserving my health, and understand the "truth" such as "all troubles come from strength" and "everyone sweeps his own snow, regardless of others' frost". However, what if children become so "sensible" and afraid of things in the future, all because of their power, thus giving up right and wrong?

In the play, when Sima Liang's belief in justice wavered, he thought of three stories told by his grandmother when he was a child. In these stories, he understood that the world has a conscience, and everyone has a ruler in his heart. Right and wrong are clear. This is the chivalrous spirit in Sima Zhongyuan's story, which I hope to share with children. "Oriental Night Tan is not only wrapped in wonderful martial arts lightness skill and dripping sword, but also further conveys the core spirit of the East-mindfulness, justice and justice, which is a standard of right and wrong that will not deviate in any time and space. "Zhao Ziqiang said.

Taking literature as a starting point, we should not only teach children to do the right thing, but also think about how to do the right thing and why to do it, convey the traditional Chinese virtues-be kind to others, love our country, love our family, and emphasize giving love and caring for others around us, even strangers. This is the humanistic spirit that Oriental Night Tan hopes to convey. At the same time, strengthening the rich expressions and unique aesthetic pursuit of Chinese excellent traditional culture is also an important originality of the play.
