Does Xiao Xiangyu, an artist of Henan Opera, want to make traditional art education blossom and bear fruit?

"Seeing the emphasis on cultural construction and promoting educational equity in the report of the 19th National Congress, I really feel that the warm spring breeze is coming and there are more opportunities for cultural development." Talking about culture, Xiang Xiao, who has been doing children's drama education in Pinggu Primary School all the year round, said that she has more motivation to carry forward traditional culture and inherit traditional opera culture.

"The drama is strong and must start with children." 20 10 Yu Xiang Primary School founded Beijing Green Valley Yu Xiang Primary Art School in Daxingzhuang Town, Pinggu District, a nine-year compulsory education school featuring art education. At the beginning of the school year, Yu Xiang Primary School specially set up drama classes, so that primary school students born and raised in Pinggu began to learn Henan Opera, and led the young drama teachers in the school to help students practice rehearsals in their spare time.

"This is an out-and-out rural school. When I founded it, I went with a dream, that is, to run a particularly good art school in Beijing and let traditional art blossom and bear fruit in the outer suburbs. " Xiang Yuxiao said that Beijing's support policy for characteristic education has always been at the forefront of the country. Xiang Yuxiao Art School can provide teachers with Beijing hukou and career establishment when recruiting teachers. Thanks to this, she recruited 40 or 50 undergraduates, master students and doctoral students from first-tier universities in Beijing to provide art training for children in Pinggu.

Now, the children of Yu Xiang Xiao Art School can put on ancient costumes and perform decently. Xiao Xiangyu said that not long ago, these children, whose average age was less than 10, performed the Henan Opera Mulan. In a subtle way, the children learned the spirit of Mulan, learned to endure hardships, learned to persist in cooperation and dedication, and achieved a breakthrough in drama entering the campus.

Xiao Xiangyu also said that since the 18th National Congress, the art team around her has become different. Traditional Chinese opera teams often perform in rural areas at the grass-roots level and enter places where the masses need them.
