How to promote the innovative development of China traditional opera art?

Traditional Chinese opera is an art form created by China in ancient times, which has been passed down to this day. Its inner core part, that is, the part that gives people the spiritual enjoyment of beauty, should be inherited. But some of its external things, such as singing, dialogue, costumes and props, must be innovative and conform to the aesthetic standards of * *. In fact, the evolution of traditional Chinese opera is very telling. The model operas produced with negative attitude during the Cultural Revolution actually followed the law of inheritance and innovation. So I think it was a successful innovation at that time. The most typical example is that in our generation, everyone can hum a few model operas at the beginning of music. However, after the Cultural Revolution, the model operas were totally rejected because they were created by the Gang of Four, and returned to the overall inheritance of tradition, but the modern audience did not accept them, which eventually led to the decline of the operas! In fact, education is the same. I have seen reports that some people run private schools in the name of inheriting tradition. Is it necessary to inherit this old form of external education? Modern education is national education, that is, everyone has the right to education, while the form of private school education corresponds to that only a few people had the right to education in ancient times. The restoration of this old form of education is not so much inheritance as retrogression.

Without "invariance" and inheritance, development will lose its foundation; Without "change" and innovation, development will lose its vitality. Therefore, correctly handling the relationship between "inheritance" and "innovation" should be based on "inheritance" and focus on "innovation". The difficulty of inheritance lies in how to make a reasonable choice. What is recognized by later generations and proved feasible by practice must be unswervingly pursued, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted. But innovation is absolute, development is endless, and innovation is an endless motive force. The essence of innovation is development, that is, new things replace old things. This kind of "substitution" is not a total negation of the old things, but a absorption of reasonable and positive elements in the old things, and at the same time, a new content with vitality that the old things simply do not have. Therefore, we should not only critically inherit the traditional experience, but also constantly develop and innovate according to the new practical requirements, so that critical inheritance and development and innovation can be organically unified. In work and study, we should face the reality bravely, study and explore, think about things that others have never thought of, do things that our predecessors have never done, and solve problems that our predecessors can't solve.
