Yu Opera "The Duke of Pao Resigns from the Court": Full Lyrics

(Pao Gong Bai)

Spring rain startles the spring and clears the valleys Summer is full of mangoes and the summer is full of two summers

Autumn is full of dews and cold frosts, and the winter is small and cold

Twenty-four seasons of hard work, how can we plant if we don't know the seasons

(Singing)

Since I was young and studied in the mountain countryside, the old ministers I know the rows of crops

Spring planting and summer cultivation, sweating and wetting the soil, in order to get the autumn harvest and the winter collection, ah? What's the point?

The first month of the lunar calendar is full of joy, and people celebrate the festive season with new clothes

After the first day of the lunar calendar, the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Lantern Festival is full of joy and excitement

The first day of the lunar calendar is full of joy and excitement.

Every family puts on their lanterns.



























The New Year's Eve is a time of great joy and happiness.

Singing all the way to the palace walls

In February and March, it's time to plant the seeds and get some moisture before and after the rain

Three rains at the time of the wheat harvest, corn and maize planting and transplanting

April, when the wheat is a little yellow, it's time to buy the farming tools

The pitchforks, brooms and oxen, the scythes, the rope and the hoes

Sickle, rope, hoe

May, when the mango planting starts, it's time to get busy

The people are so busy.

Men, women, and children go to the south gate and harvest all the wheat and barley

Take the load, carry it, push it, and load it

Pile up the stacks in a hurry, and you'll have a great time

Cut a bundle of wheat and eat it, and then it's the 5th day of the 5th moon festival

We'll be frying the oil in the 5th sun festival, and eating the rice dumplings and drinking the yellow wine, my long live

That's better than the banquet you've been having in the forest.

There are ten million buckets of corn and grain, and there are also soybeans and red sorghum

September and October are cool, and there is an autumn wind and a frost

Cotton is picked and vegetables are harvested, and wheat is planted, and wheat is planted

November, the snow falls in Lunar New Year, and the farm is finished

Pigs are killed and goats are slaughtered to celebrate the new year, and the joys of a happy family are raised

December, the Lord said that the cultivation of woodcuts and fishing is done, and the people who work in the fields are not the only ones who work in the fields. I'm on the line

Nongjiale is better than I am as the prime minister I will not accompany the king

(Song Wang Bai)

Secretary of State stay, Secretary of State stay!

(Singing)

I only said she didn't know anything about farming, but I thought he was good at everything

The affairs of the country are more important than those of farming, so don't make it difficult for the king.

(Lord Bao Bai) Long live the king!

(Singing)

It's not that I resigned from my post to deceive His Majesty, it's all because of Kou and Yang, who are tied up in the court of law.

Hail, if you don't pardon the loyal and good generals, all the heroes in the world will have no heart at all.

(King of Song)

It's my intention to pardon Kou and Yang for their crime of assassinating and scolding the king.

(Bao)

It wasn't a general of Yang who assassinated the king, but Kou's counseling and advice is loyal. The traitor is at the right and left of the king

(Song Wang Bai)

Which one is he?

(Bao Gong Bai)

Hail!

(Singing)

The thief Wang Qiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War!

Expanded Information:

The Resignation of Bao Gong from the Court is one of the classic plays of Henan local opera. In 1952, it was dictated by Li Ohta and performed by Lan Zhuwu, a veteran Qu Opera artist, and his son Lan Wenxiang.

When Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Northern Liao invaded the border, and Yang Zongbao took command of the enemy. In order to seize the throne, Wang Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, colluded with the Liao state, secretly communicated with Empress Xiao, and pretended to offer a wax with a built-in mechanism to beg for peace. The King of Song went to Yang's house to bury his father's body and offered his condolences to him.

When the wax exploded in the middle of the fire, Wang Chang falsely accused the Yang family of plotting against the king. The King of Song beheaded She Taijun. When Bao Zheng heard the news, he went to the rescue, first beat Wang Chang angrily at the noon gate, and then resigned from the court at the golden temple. The King of Song finds out the truth and pardons the Yang family. The upright and upright Bao Gong protected the Yang family members who were framed by the treacherous ministers through his scheme.

After that, Bao Gong didn't want to do it anymore, waved his hand, didn't take away a bit of cloud, and returned to his hometown. Return to his hometown to live a quiet and easy life as a farmer. Maybe it is the best relief for him to be unofficial. The most wonderful thing is that he sang a paragraph to the emperor, can be said to be the aftermath of the sound, three days.
