How can the beauty of Peking Opera make traditional culture shine again?

On the 26th, the first performance of the "Peking Opera on Campus" series opened at the University of International Business and Economics. The event invited Mr. Mei Baojiu, a Peking Opera artist, to bring a wonderful audio-visual feast to the teachers and students, including Mr. Zheng Xiao, a disciple of Mr. Mei Baojiu.

The event was divided into two parts: "Learning by Talking" and "Performing by Singing". Wu Yu of the China Academy of Opera and Ma Zhixiang of the Tianjin Peking Opera Theater popularized the knowledge of Peking Opera in the form of witty and humorous chats. At the same time, in order to make the audience more intuitively understand the stage form of Beijing opera, the actors of the four trades of "Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou" appeared on stage one by one, and invited the students of the University of International Business and Economics to experience it together.

Russian student Saina took the challenge of dressing up as an old man and imitated the clip of "running away", performing the male role of an old man in a unique way; Peking Opera student Zhang Yueyi performed the "opening the door", a flower girl action, in a graceful manner, in the best way possible. Zhang Yueyi, a special student of Peking Opera, performed the movement of "opening the door" in a graceful manner. Togolese student Dongfang Qi, a black boy dressed as a flower face, took part in the "wah wah wah" segment of the "pure" role. Xie Hao and Bi Jiawang, the young wushang actors of Beijing Jingju Theater, presented the traditional short-play wushang play "The Three Forks" to the audience. Zheng Xiao, on the other hand, brought the classic Peking Opera repertoire "Drunkenness of the Concubine" and "Scholar Matchmaker", whose elegant singing and superb performance won the audience's applause.

"I didn't expect Peking Opera could be so attractive, it's really 'a small stage, a big life', a play and a floating life." Foreign trade and economic 16 grade Liu Zhuo Lin students said at the end of the activity. This activity reproduces the abstract, written and implicit Peking Opera, deepens the understanding of teachers and students of the national essence, promotes the classical art of Peking Opera, and strengthens the national cultural self-confidence.
