After listening to Henan opera

China's opera "Sandingjia" ranks second, ranking first in all regions of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Henan was called Henan Opera for short. The following is what I collected after listening to Henan Opera. I hope everyone will read it carefully!

1 After listening to the Henan Opera, the film "Bao Qingtian" starring the famous Henan Opera performers Zhang Baoying and Wu Xinping started shooting on 1979, and received rave reviews since its launch. As one of the earliest colorful Henan Opera films, Bao Qingtian has many characteristics, such as tortuous plot, touching story, complete live shooting, elegant and refined singing, strong cast and so on. At that time, it had a strong social response and made a good start for more excellent Henan operas to move from stage to screen. Today, people's enthusiasm for the Henan Opera film Bao Qingtian remains unchanged. Bitter and strong Qin Xianglian, upright and selfless, cynical Chen Shimei, tyrannical and selfish Guo Tai, overbearing and selfish aunt, Han Qi who sacrificed her life for justice, witty and enthusiastic king, and the children of Qin Xianglian, these characters have already penetrated into our memory and become the imprint of years that we will never forget. The tremor and emotion of the soul will surely accompany us through the road of time.

Qin Xianglian, these three words have almost become the representative of the suffering female image abandoned by her husband. After ten years of marriage with her husband, she has to serve her in-laws, take care of her husband who studies hard at the cold window, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying on the family line. Everyone at home is busy, and almost all of them are running. No matter how hard she eats, how tired she is, and how hard she works, she works hard and has no complaints. Although she wanted her husband to go to high school, she didn't regard her husband as the first priority. Her greatest wish is not to be an official wife, but to live a harmonious and beautiful life with her family, even if she is poor. So, before she left, she asked her husband if she could go back to high school. Even after she went to Beijing to meet her husband, she still advised him to give up his wealth and go home with her to live an idyllic life. This is almost a joke to most people. Is it wrong to persuade a person who is enjoying the spring breeze to give up this rare and enviable life and return to his hometown to live a poor life? However, Qin Xianglian is such a person. She doesn't expect much. She thinks that as long as the family lives together, no matter how bitter it is, it is sweet. Therefore, her heart to persuade her husband to change his mind is pure, sincere and strong. She only wanted her husband to go home with herself. As for his affair with the princess, she also let bygones be bygones, not to mention hurting her husband's heart. Even when her husband kicked her out of the Xu family, she only hated her husband for forgetting his book. She listened to Wang's words and complained to her husband just to let him go back to himself and his children and live an ordinary life as bitter as before. However, all this was destroyed by Chen Shimei's malice towards wealth. When Han Qi told her the reason for killing her, she almost broke down. As the saying goes, "a husband and wife are grateful for a hundred days" and "tiger poison does not eat children", not to mention such a virtuous wife who has been in the same boat for ten years, and her own flesh and blood who is still young! In addition, when Han Qi, who couldn't bear to kill their mother and son, fell in front of her, her expectations and fantasies for her husband suddenly turned into strong resentment. A stranger who was ordered to commit suicide could even commit suicide because he sympathized with their mother and son, but his husband was so heartless that he completely became a slave to the life of a rich man. As a result, she completely despaired of her husband and strengthened her will and determination to complain. On the one hand, she got justice for herself, on the other hand, Han Qi avenged her benefactor. To this end, she rushed forward desperately, even pointing to the country's wife, royal aunt and imperial edict, denouncing "officials protecting each other" and accusing the world of injustice. When Bao Gong resisted various pressures and even stabbed Chen Shimei, she knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude. She is such a person, kind, virtuous and filial, with clear love and hate. A gentle and honest peasant woman, oppressed by the cruel real society, has been tempered into a strong-willed "strong woman" who will not stop until she reaches her goal. Of course, in the end, the ungrateful husband deserved it. He got his revenge, hated it and thanked him, but his good hope of finding a husband thousands of miles away was also dashed. Although she is pleased, she is not happy-after all, this is not the result she wants most!

In this play, Bao Gong is more courageous, honest and upright, and has a strong human touch, in addition to our past impression that he is cold and selfless and incarnates the integrity of a high official. He fought against Chen Shimei, who was distorted by wealth and humanity, against the imperious royal aunt and emperor, and even against the will to safeguard human fairness and justice. His glorious image is admirable, admirable and touching. At first, he tried to persuade Chen Shimei to make amends with compassion, which was well-intentioned. But Chen Shimei laughed it off contemptuously and put Bao Gong down. Bao Gong not only didn't get angry, but also put down his social status and earnestly advised Chen Shimei: "It's not Bao Zheng that is my child's play, but you are obsessed with something. As the saying goes: whether you eat or eat, whether you wear coarse cloth, whether you eat or eat, whether you cook or coarse cloth, you must be a wife. " I strongly urge Chen Shimei to "admit talk.an excellent face to face and never mention the past again". As long as you recognize your wife and children and admit your mistakes, we can forget our past crimes. The purpose is to hope that their family can get back together, so that Qin mother and son who have suffered a lot can share joys and sorrows. This is the best result; Otherwise, "it's too late to regret." However, Chen Shimei, blinded by wealth, not only refused to admit his death, but also roared in court. This made Bao Gong very disappointed, so he confronted him in court, hoping that under the influence of his wife, he would admit his mistake and give him one last chance. But instead of being ungrateful, Chen Shimei drew his sword in court to kill Qin Xianglian. In full view, the defendant dared to kill the plaintiff. Bao Gong was desperate for him and determined to bring him to justice. Bao Gong remained calm, resourceful and admirable in the face of the pressure of oriole and Guo Tai. I might as well extract a few words from their duet, and first look at his duet with his menstruation:

Aunt: What do you think you will do with Ma Xu?

Bao Gong: According to national laws, I will cut him in half and fry him.

Aunt: Xu's sin can't be beheaded!

Bao Gong: I am an official of the people.

Aunt: I owe my country.

Bao Gong: The laws of Wang Ye in Song Dynasty are too old!

From these duets, we can see the oppression of oriole and Bao Gong's wit and agility. The sentence "My country is up to me" is easily reminiscent of "My father is Li Gang" which was widely rumored on the Internet not long ago, and it is simply a copy. In Huang Gu's view, her father is the emperor, her brother is the emperor, and the world belongs to her family. This Chen Shimei is her husband, and the law should be made for the people. How can royal relatives be bound? Bao Gong's answer is also very clever: the law of Wang Ye in Song Dynasty was passed down by Mao. The so-called ancestral family law cannot be abolished. The law of the Great Song Dynasty was determined by Mao. "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as ordinary people." What's more, he is a different surname? Whoever obstructs him from strictly enforcing the law is disrespectful to the first emperor. Who dares to do this?

Here are some excerpts from the duet between Bao Gong and Cathay Pacific:

Mrs. Guo: An official like Bao Zheng, who eats your salary, dares to ask for punishment from his relatives? It is not advisable to cut the horse, and my aunt is alone in the palace.

Bao Gong: I think so too. Bao Zheng, I can't stand the law.

Guotai: Look at the Buddha instead of the monk, and look at the water situation instead of the fish.

Bao Gong: I spared Chen Shimei today. How can I punish people who break the law?

Wife: not for the royal aunt, but for the wife.

Bao Gong: Guo Tai should be loyal to his minister.

Guotai: Not for the country, but for the emperor.

Bao Gong: I am not partial to national laws. I am loyal to my master.

Guotai: As long as you spare Chen, your official position will rise.

Bao Gong: This is disrespectful to Guo Tai. How can he use his official position to show kindness? If people do bad things, they will be accused through the ages.

Guotai: If you don't release Chen Xu today, I'll demote you from Bianjing immediately.

Bao Gong: I went to see Chen Shimei first, and then gave me a message to leave Bianjing.

Wife: Drink up the bold little Bao Zheng. Your arrogance is a great sin.

Bao Gong: First, don't take bribes and betray the law. Second, don't be illegal and selfish. You find that I have personal shortcomings, and you scrape my bones to boil oil and light up the sky!

This duet shows Bao Gong's integrity, alertness, loyalty and fearlessness to power, and also shows Guo Tai's coercion and inducement to Bao Gong by relying on power. Bao Gong resisted the strong pressure of fair law enforcement. Guo Tai did not hesitate to give up his social position for his charming guests. First, he lured senior officials with generous salaries, and then threatened him with demotion. However, Bao Gong was unmoved, and his strong and decisive character was admirable. But when the imperial edict of pardoning Chen Shimei came, Bao Gong felt shocked, painful and even more embarrassed. In desperation, he sang a sentence: "It seems that this national law has no human feelings and has been crushed layer by layer." We had to send Qin and his mother back to their hometown. However, when Qin Xianglian was desperate to denounce everyone, she added: "I don't want three hundred and twenty sycees, so I won't cry any more." It was like a bolt from the blue. After he woke up when he landed, he shouted, "I can't avenge the people. What am I, Bao Qingtian!" Besides, what's wrong with strict law enforcement? So he risked his life with a clear conscience to fight against Chen Shimei and avenge the people. In this way, an image of Bao Gong, who is flesh and blood, loyal and upright, brave and alert, selfless dedication, loving the people as a son and full of human feelings, will stand out and be engraved in the memory of the audience and will never be forgotten.

Chen Shimei has now become synonymous with ungrateful fickle feelings, so that some people call him, Moggi, Wang Kui and Zhang Qingyun "the four fickle feelings in ancient China". As soon as he entered high school, he threw himself into the arms of the royal family for his career and abandoned his original wife who had been suffering with him for ten years. Some people say that he doesn't want to recognize his relatives because he is afraid of taking the blame. There are reasons for this, but not all. Because before that, Master Wang had promised that as long as he was familiar with Qin's mother and son, he would plead with the emperor and exonerate him. Moreover, with the existence of his wife and aunt, when Bao Gong wants to cut him down in the future, the emperor will pardon him by imperial edict, indicating that the emperor will go easy on him and will not pursue it. But why did he have a hard time with his relatives and have to kill them? Personally, I think there are two main reasons. First, the wine of wealth has drunk his whole mind. From the poor scholar in those days to the emperor's sister-in-law, the wife of the country, and the husband of her aunt, her identity suddenly changed, which is a world of difference. To recognize a relative is to show the world that you are an unfilial and unjust person who abandoned your parents and admitted your humble identity. This is something he is ashamed to mention, even though it is true. He just wants people to remember that he is an outstanding couple, now, in the past and always will be. The second is to consider the reason of the princess. What would the princess do if she recognized Qin and her son? According to the ceremony at that time, if you marry first, wouldn't the princess become the concubine of humble Qin Xianglian? This is a great shame for the royal aunt, the country and the whole royal family. This is absolutely unacceptable! Shame on the royal family. Isn't this digging your own grave? Even if Qin Xianglian is willing to compromise and be self-sufficient, the fait accompli cannot be changed. Throughout the ages, countless people have gone to great lengths to protect their rights and reputation. Therefore, we can understand what Chen Shimei did, but we can never agree with him. If everyone is like this, what will the world look like in order to keep their power after their official career, disown their six relatives, or even kill their wives and children? We really can't imagine. Therefore, we can understand Chen Shimei's behavior, but we must not agree with and follow suit. This trend will certainly not last long.

Speaking of Chen Shimei, there is an anecdote about him. It is said that the real Chen Shimei is called Chennian Valley, also called Cooked Beauty, which belongs to the Qing Dynasty instead of the Song Dynasty. Then how did he cross to the Song Dynasty? According to legend, his ancestral home was in Zhou Jun, Hubei (now he belongs to danjiangkou city, Hubei, 1993 TV version of "Bao Qingtian" said that he was from Liling, Hunan, which was wrong), and he was a scholar in Shunzhi years. When he was an official in Guizhou, he gave a lot of assistance to the old countryside, and the name of benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide. But then there were too many investors, and he was unable to continue, so he ordered the housekeeper to refuse all those who came again. Hu Mengdie, a classmate who happened to have helped him, came to ask for help when he was in trouble, but was turned away. Seeing this, Hu Mengdie held a grudge, so he made up a drama for people to sing, which was the prototype of My Beauty Case, which was widely circulated later. In this play, Chen Shimei is portrayed as a shameless scum who deceives the king and confuses the superior, abandons his father and mother, and kills his wife and children to vent his anger. Although later Chen Shimei's descendants tried their best to avenge him, they were not even allowed to sing this kind of play in Zhou Jun, but this kind of play has spread like wildfire, and their efforts were of no help. In 1980s, the cultural circles in Chen Shimei, Hubei Province launched a campaign to clear Chen Shimei's name, which had a certain influence. However, it was later pointed out that the story about Chen Shimei was first seen in knowledgeable person, which was written in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, it has nothing to do with Chen Shimei, a scholar in Qing Dynasty. At most, it is because of the same name and surname that future generations make a fuss. However, Hubei scholars refute the old county annals and other documents, arguing that the image of Chen Shimei in the traditional opera My Beauty Case is an allusion to Chen Shimei, a scholar in Shunzhi period. Right and wrong, there is no conclusion. In a word, this mysterious life story has expanded Chen Shimei's popularity, added a little mystery to him, made future generations talk more about him, added a series of questions to those who are willing to study him, and earned everyone's attention and curiosity. This is not a bad thing.

There are several famous aria in this drama film, such as "Don't worry about Chen Xu-Ma", "Chen Xu-Ma, who am I going to ask if you tear off that form paper" and "Qin Xianglian, I look up", as well as Bao Gong's duet with Huang Gu and Guotai respectively, which is very wonderful, particularly touching, and makes people cry and sigh, which makes people unable to let go, moved and moved. Besides Henan Opera, there are Bao Qingtian (or Qin Xianglian, My Beauty Case) in Beijing Opera, Han Opera, Anhui Opera, Chu Opera, Yunnan Opera, Pingju Opera, Tongzhou Bangzi, Shaanxi Opera, Jin Opera, Hebei Bangzi, Huaidiao, xiang opera and Yue Opera.

The film shows human joys and sorrows, exposes the darkness of feudal society, and expresses people's hatred of unequal society and yearning for a better life, which makes people feel deeply and think-provoking. This is an excellent Henan Opera film, a true portrayal of social customs, a hymn of honest officials, and a sword that deeply pierces the rotten skin of feudal society.

After listening to Henan Opera, I feel that Chaoyanggou is a large-scale modern drama of Henan Opera, directed by Yang Lanchun, and performed by Henan Henan Opera Group 3 in the late 1950s. As soon as it came out, it produced great achievements in society. Professional and amateur troupes from all over the province performed in succession and were widely sung by the masses. In order to meet the requirements of the people all over the country, in the early 1960s, changchun film studio made the film Chaoyanggou, which was staged all over the country. After filming in Changchun, the troupe came back and passed by Beijing. He also gave a special performance for the central leaders and was cordially received by Chairman Mao and other central leaders. For decades, the Henan opera Chaoyanggou has become a household name, sung by everyone and enduring. Now, the Henan opera Chaoyanggou is still staged in the whole province and even the whole country. The year before last, the Henan Opera Troupe of Pingqiao District of Xinyang City toured Chaoyanggou in Tianlun Square, with the help of Wang Shanpu and Yang Huarui, the old actors of Chaoyanggou, the original work of Henan Opera, and a sea of people came to watch it.

Why is the Henan opera Chaoyanggou so popular with the masses for a long time, sung from generation to generation and enduring for a long time? I think there are several reasons:

First, the theme is novel and conforms to the trend of the times. Chaoyanggou, a Henan opera, tells the story and tortuous course of Wang, a young urban intellectual, going to the countryside to participate in agricultural production and labor. In the 1950s, it was a novelty for young intellectuals to go to the countryside to participate in rural labor, which was in line with the trend of the times. This theme is very novel, which not only conforms to the trend of the times, but also receives the attention of the government and is welcomed by the society, especially the rural people.

Second, the script is well written. Chaoyanggou's script is wonderful in both content and lyrics. The content is healthy, the plot is tortuous, ups and downs, reasonable and fascinating. The lyrics are easy to understand, catchy, humorous and full of local flavor, which sounds very cordial and practical. There are many arias and sentences in the lyrics, such as: "Your heart is colder than that popsicle", "As soon as she comes in, she scolds me until dawn", "Chaoyanggou is a good place, and I won't get tired of living here all my life", "The wildflowers who just went to the countryside smile at me, but now they frown and shake their heads when they see me", "If I move one step, I will add a layer of sadness to my heart" and "If I take one step, I will take two steps back, so I can't hide. It sounds humorous, well-known and unforgettable for a long time.

Third, the artistic level of the actors' performance and singing is superb. Ma Lin, Gao Jie, Wei Yun, Wang Shanpu and Yang Huarui, the main actors of the Henan Opera Chaoyanggou, are all famous actors of the Henan Opera Troupe. They not only have a high level of performing arts, but also have a beautiful, unique and fascinating singing style. Listening to them sing is an artistic enjoyment.

Chaoyanggou, a Henan opera, is a rare classic after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In particular, its enduring artistic appeal for decades and its popularity and love among the people are rare. With all due respect, the works of Zhang Yimou, Xiaogang Feng, Chen Kaige and other famous directors in China today can be a sensation and a hit, but their long-term influence, popularity and popularity are definitely not as good as Chaoyanggou in Henan Opera. Some readers, experts and scholars may have different views with me. They might as well watch the Henan Opera Chaoyanggou or the movie Chaoyanggou several times first. After reading it, I believe their views will change. I sincerely hope that high-level works like the Henan opera Chaoyanggou will appear as soon as possible, benefiting the people and future generations.

I'm very happy after listening to Henan Opera, because I'm going to see a movie again. My mother asked me whether to watch "The Guinea Pig Task Force" or Mulan. I said to a little sheep, "Little sheep, little sheep ..." And I saw Mulan.

Mulan's story is full of ups and downs. First of all, the soft army attacked. When Wei enlisted military horses, Mulan reluctantly left her hometown to join the army instead of her father. Then in the battle of thousands of troops and horses, Mulan bravely killed the enemy. Shoot the positioning arrow first, and the enemy will cry ... wonderful! My blood is boiling. I really hope I can't rush into the screen and bravely kill the enemy.

Mulan doesn't like war, but she must fight. She became a general by accident. In a war, Wen Tai was unfortunately injured. Mulan thought that Wen Tai was dead and never recovered. Until Fei Xiaohu asked Mulan, "Do you live for the living or the dead?" Mulan woke up from a dream and repeatedly trained everyone to practice martial arts to prevent more brothers from dying. Her actions to protect soldiers are really touching.

In my opinion, Mulan's spirit of joining the army instead of her father is worth learning. Like Mulan, we should be filial to our parents and start from small things to make our family more warm and happy.
