The Treasure of China Traditional Culture —— Opera

The treasure of China traditional culture-Opera Xu Jinbang China Opera is unique in the world drama, with distinctive national characteristics and unique aesthetic characteristics. First of all, China's traditional operas emphasize spirit likeness and freehand brushwork. The life forms displayed on the stage of traditional Chinese opera are different from those in real life. It is the refining and processing of real life, and it is to convey its spirit and write its meaning by changing its form. Generally speaking, China's traditional operas are not set, and the space for performance on the stage can be decided at will and changed freely through the actors' performances. The stage can be a study at the moment, but as long as the people in the play turn around, the stage can become a garden, or even another place thousands of miles away. It can be seen that the space of the opera stage is created invisibly through the performance of the actors. In this way, traditional Chinese opera can freely, flexibly, coherently and smoothly express an infinitely vast and rapidly changing space, and can also freely express extremely rich and complicated life events. However, western opera emphasizes imitation, which leads to the realistic concept of western opera, and advocates that space is determined by scenery according to the appearance of life, that is, the life represented on the stage is the same or similar to the real life form. The plots of China's operas are sometimes freehand. For example, a few rounds of fighting between two generals can represent a complicated battle with thousands of troops, and even a banquet will end with just one song. In terms of performance, there are many virtual actions in opera. For example, in "Fishing Killer", Sean and his daughter rowed. There were only paddles but no boats on the stage, but it gave people a real feeling of rowing. No wonder the German dramatist Brecht 1935 saw Mei Lanfang perform this play in Moscow and was full of praise! In addition, China Opera is a highly integrated form of drama, while China Opera contains various artistic elements such as poetry, music, dance, sculpture, art and architecture, as well as various literary elements such as poetry, ci, qu, fu, prose and novel, which form an organic whole under the command of music rhythm. In addition, China's traditional drama is highly technical. Actors have high skills in singing, reciting words, singing, crying, laughing, posture and movements, and pay attention to formal beauty everywhere. It can be said that China opera is a treasure house and a typical representative of traditional culture and art in China. There are changes)
