Aesthetic design principles of stage art design of traditional Chinese opera

China traditional opera has an unshakable position in China. The stage art design of traditional Chinese opera is directly related to the performance effect. So, how much do you know about the design principle of the stage art design of traditional Chinese opera? The following are the aesthetic design principles of the stage art design of traditional Chinese opera, which I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Freehand brushwork? Freehand brushwork is an important proposition in China's ancient aesthetics, which is mainly manifested in the breakthrough of traditional Chinese opera performance art in time and space limitation and the virtuality of action and scenery. Together, they have created a world far from the actual life form, and the rhythm of art flows with the heart-of course, it will not be a realistic fantasy. ? [2](P653) The beauty of traditional Chinese opera dance serving for traditional Chinese opera performance must be synchronized with the freehand brushwork of the performance, and freehand brushwork is also one of the aesthetic principles of its design.

In fact, freehand brushwork and realism are one of the main differences between Chinese and western aesthetics. ? China's traditional aesthetics emphasizes the unity of beauty and goodness and pays attention to the ethical value of art; Western traditional aesthetics emphasizes the unity of beauty and truth, and pays more attention to the cognitive value of art, while China traditional aesthetics emphasizes the expressiveness, lyricism and artistic conception of art. Western traditional aesthetics emphasizes the reproduction, imitation and realism of art? [3](P330)

The freehand brushwork of the design of traditional Chinese opera beauty is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

One is virtualization. That is, replacing reality with air, such as replacing the city with cloth, replacing clouds with clouds, replacing cars with flags, replacing horses with whips, and replacing boats with paddles. What is the most typical? A table and two chairs? Multifunctional application: it can be used in halls, anterooms, living rooms, inner rooms, study rooms, towers, hillsides, ships, bedridden people and so on.

The second is exaggeration. That is to exaggerate the prototype of life, such as designing the window of the landlord's house in the shape of a big copper coin.

The third is patterning. That is, some kind of standardized fixed model, such as Peking Opera? Facebook? This is patterning. Different people's faces have different colors, patterns and shapes.

The fourth is decoration. That is, add auxiliary elements to scenes, costumes and props to make them beautiful, such as helmets and tassels.

In a word, freehand brushwork in the design of dramatic beauty is one of the important aesthetic principles in the design of dramatic beauty. In this regard, there are many successful examples. For example, in the Peking Opera "Xiao He's Success or Failure in Xiao He", Xiao He's scenery design of chasing Han Xin under the moon adopts freehand brushwork, and the full moon in the night sky on the big screen appears and disappears, creating a profound artistic conception.

Simplicity is closely related to freehand brushwork, or simplicity is an effective means and inevitable choice of freehand brushwork. So, the so-called? Freehand brushwork? Painting, which originated in China, originally refers to a kind of indulgence painting, that is, to write the shape and spirit of objects and express the author's intention with concise pen and ink. Gongbi? Relative, so? Freehand brushwork? Also called in Chinese painting? Rough pen? . Originally widely used in various arts, it refers to expressing the essential characteristics of people or things in a simple way. Therefore, the core feature of freehand brushwork is simplicity, that is, less wins more, and one is total. Used in the design of traditional Chinese opera and dance beauty, it means that one scene is multi-purpose, one thing is multi-purpose, and one suit is multi-purpose. For example, military commanders, civil servants and even female figures can use whips. And through the change of color, horses of different colors can be represented.

In this respect, there are also many successful examples. For example, the set design of the rehearsal of Ju Ping's Li Zhongjian is very simple; Different patterns are printed on the big screen with blue as the background, representing different scenes. The whole stage sometimes hangs several giant sword-shaped strips of cloth, which are both symbolic and extremely simple.

Mr. Zhang Geng, a famous emotional drama theorist, called China opera? Dramatic poetry? In one sentence, the lyrical aesthetic features of China's operas are revealed. In order to express the lyric aesthetic characteristics of the whole China opera, the aesthetic design of opera dance must also take emotion as one of its important aesthetic principles.

So-called? Emotional? It refers to all the elements of the beauty of opera dance (including scenery, costumes, makeup, props, lighting, sound, effects, etc.). ) must be rich? Deep feeling? Do it? A branch and a leaf are always related to love? In order to create an art of blending scenes, integrating subject and object, and integrating characters? Artistic conception? Let's go

? Artistic conception? It is also an important proposition of China's traditional aesthetics, with hazy beauty, infinite transcendence beauty and natural beauty. In other words, artistic conception highlights the unity of subject and object, emotion and scenery.
