The Treasure of China Traditional Culture

Xu jinbang

① China's traditional operas are unique in the world, with distinctive national characteristics and unique aesthetic characteristics.

(2) First of all, China's operas emphasize the similarity between spirit and likeness, and emphasize 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.

(3) The plots of China's operas are sometimes freehand brushwork. For example, two generals can fight for several rounds, which can represent a complicated battle with thousands of troops, and even a banquet will end as long as one song is played.

(4) In terms of performance, there are many virtual movements in the opera, such as the boating of Sean's father and daughter in The Fisherman Killed the Family. There are only paddles on the stage without boats, but it gives 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!

⑤ In addition, China Opera is a highly comprehensive form of drama, while China Opera contains many artistic factors such as poetry, music, dance, sculpture, art and architecture, as well as many literary elements such as poetry, ci, qu, fu, prose and novel, which form an organic whole under the command of music rhythm.

Besides, China's traditional operas are 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 and a typical representative of traditional culture and art in China.
