What were the eight model plays of the 70s?

These were the days when model plays were popular and highly respected, and some of them were set up as examples of literature and art, with drama works as the mainstay and a small number of large and medium-sized stage art works, collectively known as "revolutionary model plays" or "revolutionary model works". "

At the time, the theater was a model of the revolution, with a small number of musical compositions.

There were many reports and comments in the two newspapers and one magazine at that time, calling them "revolutionary model operas", or temporarily calling them "eight revolutionary model operas", and listing them as follows "Peking Opera" "The Tale of the Red Lanterns", "Taking Tiger Mountain", "Shajiabang", "Harbor", "Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", ballet "Red Detachment of Women", "The White Hairy Woman", symphonic music "Shajiabang"".

Back then, for the "model theater" this is never explained the loud name, people often seem to understand, even the model theater scriptwriter Wang Zengqi is no exception. He learned that "model" is a certain place on some kind of plate mold name, that the meaning of "model theater" does not make sense. It can be seen that the word "model", it is difficult to take the name into account, its derivation is even more far-fetched, whether it is a "role model", or nowadays added "samples", "demonstration" and so on. "experiment" and so on.

It's hard to believe that, although the model theater has become so popular and respected, people are generally unaware that there are actually at least two dozen of them. Because, "eight model theater" and "eight model theater" and other words, even more popular than the word "model theater". The two verbal words of the year have finally evolved into a pseudo-historical term that is not recognized as a falsehood.

Except for those who are interested in literature and art, people are not actually familiar with all the model operas. People are generally more familiar with, and easy to recall the model theater, at most, the Peking Opera "Red Lanterns", "Wisdom of Weihu Mountain", "Shajiabang", "Harbor", "Strange Attack on the White Tiger Regiment", "Ode to the Dragon River", "Cuckoo Mountain", the ballet "The Red Detachment of Women", "The White Hairy Girl" and so on eight or so of the finest works.
