What does the "freehand concept" of Chinese opera refer to?

①Chinese opera is unique in the world theater world, with distinctive national characteristics and unique aesthetic characteristics.

②First of all, Chinese opera emphasizes spiritual resemblance and freehand brushwork.

The life shown on the stage of opera is different from the form of real life. It is the refining and processing of real life, changing its form to convey its spirit and write its meaning.

Opera generally does not use scenery. The space represented on the stage can be determined and changed freely through the performance of the actors.

The stage may be a study at the moment, but as soon as the actor turns around, the stage can become a garden, or even another place thousands of miles away.

It can be seen that the space of the opera stage is creatively virtualized through the actors' performances.

In this way, opera can express an infinitely vast and ever-changing space freely, flexibly, coherently and smoothly, and can also express extremely rich and complex life events with great freedom.

Western drama emphasizes imitation, which leads to the concept of realism in Western drama, advocating the use of scenery to determine the space according to the appearance of life, that is, the life shown on the stage and the real life form are the same or similar.

③The plots of Chinese operas are sometimes expressive. For example, two generals fighting each other for several rounds can represent a complex battle involving thousands of troops, or even a banquet will be over as long as a tune is played.

④In terms of performance, there are many virtual actions in the opera. For example, in "Fishing and Killing the Family", Sean and his daughter row a boat. There are only oars on the stage but no boat, but it gives people a real feeling of rowing.

No wonder the German dramatist Brecht saw Mei Lanfang perform this play in Moscow in 1935 and was full of praise!

⑤Also, Chinese opera is a highly comprehensive form of drama. Chinese opera includes various artistic elements such as poetry, music, dance, sculpture, art, and architecture, as well as poetry, lyrics, music, fu, prose,

Various literary components such as novels, these factors form an organic whole under the command of music rhythm.

⑥Furthermore, Chinese opera has high traditional skills.

The actors' chanting, enunciation, dialect, crying, laughing, body posture, and movements are all highly skilled, and they pay attention to the beauty of form everywhere.

It can be said that Chinese opera is a treasure and typical representative of my country's traditional culture and art.
