What are the stunts of martial arts?

There are many stunts in Wu's plays, most of which come from ancient Nuo dance, white play, puppet show and Mulian play.

There are more than twenty kinds of stunts in Wu's plays, such as changing face, changing teeth, tossing hair, kicking swords, throwing beads of Buddha, peach blossom bully, paper man skill, wearing a table to save the tiger, wearing a stool in the original seat, flying gongs and flying forks, snake walking, big eyes and small eyes, dancing and wearing shoes.

The most prominent martial arts are, Jiang, Hong Quan, piercing a knife, piercing a ring of fire, hanging 18, crouching zombies, crouching zombies, jumping at both ends and so on.

Face-changing is one of the stunts of Wu Opera, which is more colorful than Sichuan Opera. Wu's face can be divided into natural face changing, oil painting face changing, powder blowing face changing, drawing face changing and so on.

Natural face-changing is also called "one stroke", that is, you can change your face with one stroke of your hand and use qigong. This change of face shows a variety of feelings, such as Xu Xian in the Wu drama Broken Bridge. When Xiaoqing angrily drew his sword and chased him, Xu Xian suddenly stroked his face with his hand, and his luck was rapid. He immediately turned pale, his nostrils were sunken, and his fear was coming out.

Artists who change their faces naturally should wear light makeup and skillfully use breath-holding skills to make their faces instantly turn red, purple, blue and gray.

Changing one's face with oil paints, also known as "changing one's face with color" and "wiping one's face", is to express the facial expression of a character with the change of oil paints. According to the development of the plot and the change of the character's mentality, the actor quickly painted the oil paint on his palm evenly on his face, and the whole face immediately changed color. White when rude, red when excited, green when surprised, and black when frightened.

For example, the purple color in Wu Opera and Hui Opera Burning the Classic Fire makes people narrow-minded and jealous. In order to win the first prize, they assassinated the general, Uncle Ying Kao. After the victory, the emperor held a grand banquet for him. At the banquet, Zizi was very complicated. After a few glasses of wine, she had hallucinations and saw the ghost of Uncle Ying Kao, and she was in a panic.

In order to show off the extreme fear in my heart, in an instant, there appeared a face with fierce fire and oil paint. Wu's face changed from pink to red, then to blue and then to purple. Then six different colors, such as gray face, appeared, and finally they became golden faces through mouth blowing. A * * needs to change seven faces.

When the actor changed his face, the backstage martial arts dispatcher stood behind the actor who decorated Uncle Ying Kao, with a torch in his hand and liquor in his mouth. Uncle yingkao shouted, "son, take your life!" " Wu steward sprayed wine on the torch hard, and the flame burst out.

At this time, the actors in the decoration are "anxious" with the sound of gongs and drums. One of them rolled over, knelt trembling in front of the background, and then turned and appeared. At this time, his face has changed beyond recognition.

Blowing powder to change face is a method of changing face by putting powder pigment into props in advance and blowing it to make it stick to the face. Actors who blow powder to change their faces must have paint on their faces before they can be pasted, so they often use it after wiping their faces.

For example, the last time in the Wu drama "Burning Fire", when the children raised their glasses to drink at the celebration banquet, the gold powder was first put into the cup. When the children raised their glasses with one hand and covered the cup with the other, while drinking, the ghost of Uncle Ying Kao reappeared and breathed fire again. The actor who decorated the child blew into the cup, and the gold powder floated up and turned into a golden face. The actor came out from behind the table.

Pulling yarn to change face is to use colored cloth, hide it on your forehead in advance, and turn around and pull it down quickly when changing face. A face-changing in Wu's plays is to turn a black face with crepe.

For example, when Shen Gui, a scholar who was hanging out with a girl, died, his head fell under the table, he tore off crepe and covered his whole face. Because crepe is translucent, the five senses seem to be visible, but they are actually dead gray.

Wu's drastic face change is the essence of Wu drama performance. Although there are fire-breathing and steady boys' somersaults during the performance to divert the audience's attention, they can't show flaws. As you can imagine, the time is tight, the technique is hidden and the difficulty is great.

To this end, actors in Wu Opera must be fast, even and clean, that is, fast, smooth and clean, which must be tempered, so there is a saying that "one minute on stage, ten years off stage". The audience also marveled at the fierceness of the fire, the danger of falling, and the strangeness of changing faces.

In Wu drama, the traditional face-changing skills of Wu drama mentioned above will be used in all plays with ghost stories or dramatic changes in people's emotions. In addition to the traditional face-changing skills, Wu Opera has also mastered the skills of Lamian Noodles in Sichuan, enriching the face-changing skills and expressions of Wu Opera.

There is also a unique skill in Wu opera, which is rare in other operas. Playing with teeth is to put two or four pig teeth in your mouth, and use the rolling of your tongue and the control of cheek muscles to make the fangs rotate up and down, back and forth, inside and out, showing the mighty posture and brave character of the characters.

Bao Jifu is an old actor in Yiwu and the best actor in Wu drama. He can play with six fangs and roll freely. He played Zhou Cang in Pound in the Water, and played Zhou Cang with his unique facial makeup, which was praised as "the living Zhou Cang" by China drama circles. Tooth-beating in Wu drama originated from the performance of ancient Nuo opera and Mulian opera, from which it can be inferred that Zhejiang stunt performance has a long history.

Taohuaba, also known as "Zi Ling Palace", is also a very outstanding stunt in Wu drama. Feather works use the ever-changing two feathers on the hat to depict the mood and personality of the characters and enhance the aesthetic feeling of dance movements.

Taohuaba has many names, such as two-winged feather, bright-winged feather, two-winged dragon coming out of the water, swallows holding mud, rare, taking pictures in the water, butterflies wearing flowers and so on. There are 85 sets of Zi Ling Kung Fu in martial arts, with hundreds of moves, which is another unique legendary Kung Fu in China opera art.

The stage power in Wu drama stunt refers to folding two square stools on a table. The performer stood on the bench with his back to the audience and then stood upside down.

This is a stage play performed by various classes of early Wu Opera before the performance. On the one hand, it is to show the martial arts of its actors, on the other hand, it is also to attract more audiences with this stunt and create a lively atmosphere for the stage.

The martial arts with two jumps in the stunt of Wu Opera is also called drum tripod flip, that is, the actor can flip 62 somersaults on the big drum.

Floating like a paper man, also known as "paper man skill", is an acrobatic skill in Wu drama stunts. The actor is like hanging in mid-air, with his head straight, shaking from side to side and spinning back and forth like a paper man. The actor's two toes stand on the ground, and with gentle posture, he suddenly swings, suddenly moves left and right, and suddenly rotates 360 degrees, all of which show the form of paper floating in the air.

The main point of floating like a paper man is that when the actor stands on tiptoe, his arms droop as much as possible, then he moves his body with small steps and covers his feet with tricks to prevent the audience from seeing that the actor is using tiptoe kung fu. The stunt of "Gone with the Wind as a Paper Man" is also used in other operas in China and has been performed for a long time.

Snake-walking stunt is the performance of Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing in Wu drama Broken Bridge and Beach Spring. White Snake and Xiaoqing are not human women, but also snakes, so they should have both styles in performance.

The performance of Wu drama "Broken Bridge" is almost perfect. The white snake and the green snake walk lightly and delicately, advancing in an S-shape, just like snakes on the water, spreading their wings and flying high, and their graceful dancing makes people feel a strong mythical color.

Xiaoqing chased Xu Xian with high morale. Once she stopped and clapped three times, that is, she suddenly shook her head three times, like the fierce and agile form of a water snake when it was foraging.

After the founding of New China, several generations of actors, such as Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing, appeared in the Wu drama Broken Bridge. Chen Juandi was the first, followed by Jinfeng Tea, Jiang Shuying, Ni and Zhu, and Fang Xiaorong and Jin Guojuan. Their snake-like performance maintained the strong characteristics of Wu Opera.

The stunt of big eyes and small eyes is Han Xiangzi's performance in the Wu Opera Hui Opera "Practice in the Fire". Han Xiangzi, the Eight Immortals, went up to the mountain to learn from his teacher and did not return for three years. One day, Xiangzi went down the mountain to test whether his wife Lin had changed her mind. He turned into an ugly monk and sneaked into the garden. At that time, Lin was burning incense in the garden, wishing him good news and begging her husband to come back soon.

Han Xiangzi came forward to tease and flirt with sweet words. Lin told the maid to kick him out. Xiangzi was relieved and changed back to his original body. She said to her wife, "Husband and wife meet again and stay for another three years." Say that finish stealth.

When Xiangzi dressed up as an ugly monk and teased the forest, his right eye was wide open, and his left eye was too small to see the five beads. This expression reveals the ugly monk's greed for life. The famous and ugly Wu drama should be performed by Ayao and Xu Dongfu.

Dragonfly's water stunt is Wang Ying's stunt performance in Wu Opera and Hui Opera "Exploring Five Yang". When Wang Ying was exploring Wuyang City, he was looking for water, with his right hand on the ground and his whole body straight. Sometimes he plays through flow, and sometimes he leans back. This stunt shows Wang Ying's superb martial arts and mysterious posture during reconnaissance.

Another unique skill of Wu Opera is tap dancing and wearing shoes, which is Xu Xian's performance in Broken Bridge. Fan Shouqi, a famous teacher in Huizhou class of Wu Opera, can kick the flat boots on his feet to the top of his head, then fall from the top of his head to his toes and put them on automatically.

Fan Shouqi used this stunt on Xu Xian. When Xu Xian was chased by Bai Niangniang and Xiaoqing, he ran away. Desperate, he sat down and kicked his shoes on his head. He looked everywhere, but found nothing.

Touching around, it was on my head. Then shrug your shoulders and put your shoes on your toes accurately. This stunt of kicking and wearing shoes shows Xu Xian's timidity and panic to the fullest.

The most important reason why Wu Opera is popular among the masses is its superb performance characteristics, and these amazing stunts and extraordinary martial arts are very difficult. It is its unique performance style that attracts more audiences.
