Is Zhao Benshan a competent inheritor of Errenzhuan?

1. Choosing inheritors is different from choosing actors.

Zhao Xiaobo said, "Without Mr. Zhao Benshan, the duet would have disappeared in Northeast China. Although there are not many traditional plays on Liu Laogen's stage, Mr. Zhao Benshan has helped Errenzhuan artists solve the problem of food and clothing, which is why Zhao Benshan is qualified to be the inheritor of Errenzhuan intangible cultural heritage. ..... I used to sing traditional operas in other theaters, and I was often booed. Now I won't, because Zhao Benshan has given the two-person artist dignity, and people will respect this culture even if they don't understand it. From a market perspective, the two-person turn is more marketable than the two-person turn. " Tong Changjiang said: "Zhao Benshan (though) is definitely not the most outstanding actor in Errenzhuan art, but he contributed money and passed several Zhao Benshan Cup competitions, and he is definitely the best in Errenzhuan art today." Professor Yan Shuping, a famous performing artist, pointed out: "The success or failure of the development of China traditional opera depends on whether the drama has its own famous role. The influence of Errenzhuan art has been growing in recent years, mainly due to the support of a group of Northeast sketch actors such as Zhao Benshan and Pan Changjiang. "

Many researchers say that Zhao Benshan's selection will help spread the art of duet ... Cao Baoming, vice chairman of Jilin Federation of Literary and Art Circles, believes that the popularity of duet is inseparable from the successful promotion of Zhao Benshan's sketches. "After reading his sketches, people want to see what a real duet looks like." Wang, a researcher at Jilin Art Research Institute, believes that Zhao Benshan has made great contributions to the popularization of duet in China. We should be tolerant of this. Wang believes that Zhao Benshan has made two great contributions to Errenzhuan. First, his sketches have the style of duet. Second, after he became famous, he still advocated duets, and there were many duets in his TV series. Zhao Benshan's contribution to the Northeast Errenzhuan is unprecedented. In the past, no matter how skilled the old artists were, their influence was mostly confined to the local area, and it was difficult to get out of the northeast, making this folk art a household name in the country. Zhang Yimou: "Errenzhuan, a local art in Northeast China, is known to the national audience because of Zhao Benshan. This is the result of Zhao Benshan's persistence for so many years. He has pushed them to a very high angle. Without the brand of Zhao Benshan, two people in the northeast can't get up. "

Choosing a successor is not choosing an actor, just as choosing a principal is not equal to choosing a teacher. For Errenzhuan and all intangible cultural heritage, it was once on the verge of extinction because of too little attention. It can be seen that without influential leaders, national intangible cultural heritage may be difficult to protect. Fuzhou Pinghua and Ci singing are also listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list, but for many years, even the provinces and regions have not gone out, let alone gone to the whole country. Foreign audiences may not even have heard their names, or even know how to pronounce the word Ci. These two kinds of quyi have been protected for many years, but even a decent performance venue is hard to find. In this case, even if the inheritor's performance level is high, if he doesn't have enough influence to promote the development of this art, he can't carry forward this art, even the artist himself can't protect it, and even his survival is a problem. Isn't inheritance an empty talk? It is not enough to be professional, but also to have outstanding organizational ability, management ability and influence. Otherwise, there are many outstanding talents such as "Ten Famous Ugliness", "Four Famous Talents", first-class actors and second-class actors, but I'm afraid very few can undertake this important task.

Tan wrote in Quyi magazine that Zhao Benshan fully meets the inheritor conditions stipulated in the Interim Measures for the Administration of Identification of Representative Inheritors of National Intangible Cultural Heritage Projects. As the inheritor of duet in Northeast China, he has rich performance experience and experience, while Zhao Benshan advocates green duet and purifies the duet market, so Zhao Benshan deserves to be the inheritor.

Wu Bingan said that Zhao Benshan must go to Beijing to perform a traditional duet report performance to show the achievements of the inheritors. Then, there are thousands of national non-legacy projects. Have they all been reported to Beijing? There are five inheritors in the Northeast Errenzhuan. Have the other four reported to Beijing? If not, I'm afraid it would be biased to let Zhao Benshan do it alone. There are many people who inherit the sickly body, so it is difficult to protect themselves and their social influence is limited; The inheritor has become a personal honor, and the national intangible heritage list has been published for many years. Some intangible heritage projects are still dead or dying, and there is no big improvement. Moreover, many project names are unheard of by ordinary people. It is obviously unfair for some non-legacy officials to ignore these problems and just point the finger at Zhao. There are so many people staring at Zhao Benshan in the society, but few people ask other inheritors of Errenzhuan. There are two inheritors of Northeast Errenzhuan in Liaoning, and the other is Li Xiuyuan, an old artist from Jinzhou and Montenegro, who is good at singing more than 60 traditional Errenzhuan songs. However, according to the local cultural department, only three of these programs survived through video. What is even more shocking is that Li Xiuyuan was elected as a national inheritor in February 2008 and died of illness in March of the same year. The death of an old artist makes people feel sad, but at the same time, should we also do some reflection? Li Xiuyuan, as the inheritor, died only one month ago, and objectively failed to fulfill the mission of the inheritor. It can be seen that to be a good inheritor, it is not enough to rely solely on excellent singing skills and strong professional ability. More importantly, he is young and has the ability to inherit, so that art can be carried forward and passed down from generation to generation, which is the ultimate goal of inheritance. If you can't do this, it will be difficult to be a qualified inheritor. Because the inheritor is not the object of worship, but bears an important responsibility.

Wu Bingan and others advocate that private theaters should follow the example of state-owned troupes and perform traditional duets throughout the whole process, which has long been proved to have no market. The survival of state-owned actors is a problem. Will folk artists make the same mistake? If state-owned academies have their own inheritance ability, why should they choose folk artists as inheritors? It is precisely because the artistic vitality of Errenzhuan lies in the folk rather than the state-owned academy. Utopian artistic ideal can't be justified, and it has already been shattered by reality. As some viewers said, "We are here to play, not to have a meeting. Tradition is too serious and we don't like it. " State-owned artists do nothing, but the government still protects their lives. Folk artists can only starve to death without box office.

2. Zhao Benshan's main contribution as an inheritor.

So, are all kinds of people who claim to oppose Zhao Benshan's election as the inheritor really thinking about the traditional duo, or are they just jealous and use this as an excuse to make personal attacks? Some scholars only care about the identity of Zhao Benshan's inheritors, but don't care about other non-legacy projects and the transfer of two people to other inheritors, which obviously shows that their concern lacks due sincerity, or is naked concern. Although many non-genetic inheritors have been selected, it is only an honor. A few years later, some folk arts are still abandoned and neglected, either reaching out to the state for money or facing the dilemma of extinction. As a non-genetic inheritor, what Zhao Benshan can do, but other inheritors can't, is to let folk artists solve their own food problems by sweat and find jobs for a large number of folk artists and laid-off artists (including performers and audience members), instead of asking the state for money. Some non-legacy projects are called national treasures, which are profound and profound, but even artists can't eat them, which is in stark contrast.

Zhao Benshan promoted the education of duet-to-duet in Liaoning higher education classroom, established Benshan Art College in cooperation with Liaoning University to train practical and theoretical talents such as directors, performers and screenwriters, and hired Mary, a famous duet-to-duet performing artist and winner of China Quyi Peony Award, as a professor, which provided a guarantee for the training of duet-to-duet professionals, which most non-genetic inheritors could not do. Many local dramas have remained primitive for more than 60 years after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). This alone makes the argument of anti-Zhao people self-defeating. Benshan Art College of Liaoning University is committed to inheriting and developing China's national intangible cultural heritage-Northeast Errenzhuan, and has made remarkable achievements in personnel training and Errenzhuan communication. Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters also attaches great importance to the art of duet in Northeast China in the international spread of China culture. On October 27th, 2065438+021kloc-0/0, a group of 38 students from Benshan Art College of Liaoning University went to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a week-long cultural exchange performance. The strong "northeast wind" fascinated thousands of American audiences. The variety show named "Fiery Northeast Wind, Burning Love in the East" is hosted by Hanban/Confucius Institute Headquarters in China, undertaken by Liaoning Provincial Department of Education, co-organized by Confucius Institute at University of Michigan, Detroit Center of University of Michigan and Confucius Institute at George Mei Sen University, starring the Student Art Troupe of Liaoning University, and performed by teachers and students of Benshan Art College. The original northeast duet art feasts the audience. In addition to the Northeast Errenzhuan, the performances also included stilt yangko, suona solo, soft-fitting performance, shaman dance, car performance, folk song duet and other programs, which fully demonstrated the rich China culture and fiery Kanto customs, and were warmly welcomed by local teachers and students in the United States.

20 10, 10 In February, Zhao Benshan invested 100,000 yuan to build the first "Errenzhuan Experience Hall" in China, which was opened to the public in Shenyang. This is not the display of the two-person turn-around objects as we understand in our inherent consciousness, but the traditional two-person turn-around live communication as an intangible cultural heritage. This traditional duet museum is divided into four floors: the first floor is the exhibition area, which shows the scene of farmers celebrating the harvest in Northeast China; On the second floor is "ivory mountain Photo Studio"; On the third floor is the "Errenzhuan Impression Hall", which shows the actors singing the traditional Errenzhuan scene; The fourth floor is the "Errenzhuan Comprehensive Exhibition Area", which mainly shows the history of Errenzhuan. It is an experience hall integrating sightseeing, traditional duet performance, northeast folk custom and traditional duet history display. The experience hall employs professionals to design according to relevant industry standards, and it is beautifully decorated and reaches a higher standard. The comprehensive exhibition area is surrounded by northeast folk customs related to the traditional duet, with viewing space in the middle. This performance is performed by the audience. Zhao Benshan emphasized: "My original intention of building this' Errenzhuan Experience Hall' was not to make money, but to show the audience and disciples how Errenzhuan came, so that they would not forget their roots when they became popular. I also want you to know about the history of Errenzhuan, especially the northeast culture in the past 300 years. " Undeniably, this move is of great positive significance to the inheritance of Errenzhuan. It is difficult for other inheritors, and it is also difficult for many national intangible cultural heritage projects to find a second one, and it is also difficult to imitate, because most intangible cultural heritage projects are still waiting for the state to pay. Knowing that it is impossible to make money, it takes both courage and a strong sense of responsibility to do this. There are many rich people, but how many people are willing to do such a thankless thing? Unfortunately, for such a meaningful matter, anti-Zhao scholars are almost silent collectively, and not many people stand up and say fair words, which is in sharp contrast to the phenomenon of opposing him as an inheritor to call on Zhao Benshan to perform the traditional duet. Its openness and the resulting emphasis on the tradition of duet surprised those who really loved the traditional duet, but also caught the anti-Zhao people off guard. There are still many people who should still be cursing or continuing to be sarcastic. The reason is self-evident, indicating that opposing Zhao Benshan as an inheritor is just a cover. These people are not really pleading for the traditional duo, and some scholars question Zhao Benshan's insincerity as an inheritor. The root cause is jealousy of others' success.

Some people say that the "Liu Laogen Grand Stage" does not perform traditional plays, which is not in line with the facts. Traditional plays are still on, but there are relatively few plays with high cost. The traditional duets performed by yang shen and Shen Chunyang on the "Liu Laogen Stage", such as "Han Qi kills the temple", "Bao Gong destroys Cixi" and "Liu Sanjie dies", moved the audience, but these positive messages were difficult to reach the ordinary people, because some media constantly reported negatively by taking advantage of the populist tendency and hatred of the rich of ordinary netizens, which affected the public's judgment. Many southerners don't like Xiao Shenyang, because they don't like his cross talk style with a hairpin, a flowered coat and a female voice. In fact, the Shenyang couple have a solid foundation in the traditional duet singing, which not only won awards, but also won the recognition of experts. Unlike some people's imagination, it will only be funny in an exaggerated style on the stage.
