Fairy with Huangmei opera classic aria

The classic aria of the fairy with Huangmei Opera is as follows: Birds in the tree are in pairs, and the green mountains and green waters laugh. Picking this flower conveniently, my wife and I went through the hair room. From then on, they will never suffer from slavery again, and both husband and wife will return to their hometown. You plow, I weave, I carry water, and you water the flowers. Although the cold kiln can shelter from the wind and rain, the love between husband and wife is bitter and sweet. You and I are like a pair of love birds, and the earth is flying with me.

Fairy Descent, also known as Seven Fairys Descent and Yong Dong's Prostitution, is one of the "36 Big Books" accumulated in the early stage of Huangmei Opera, and it is also one of the reserved plays of Huangmei Opera. The work tells the love story of seven fairies who, regardless of justice, went down to earth to marry Yong Dong privately, looking forward to a better life, and were finally separated by the Jade Emperor.

1952, Ban Youshu adapted "Lu Yu You Yue" 10%, which changed Yong Dong from a scholar to a farmer and the Seven Fairys from "being ordered to marry" to "thinking about the past"; 1953, Lu adapted the whole book and formed seven plays, including Prostitution, Queqiao, Lu Yu, Work, Silk Weaving, Full Bow and Farewell.

Later, in the long-term performance practice, it was constantly shaped into six performances from the beginning of "Queqiao" to the final "parting". The play won the first prize of script, excellent performance, director award and music award in the first East China Opera Observation and Performance Conference. It was rated as a classic play for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and won the second National Excellent Drama Award.

Appreciation of the drama A Match Made in Heaven;

The literati's efforts in lettering and sentence-making seem useless in traditional Chinese opera, which is also a sign that local opera is different from Daya Kunqu opera. For example, at the beginning of "The Immortal Match", the immortals in the sky peep into the world. Compared with the misty sky, the ordinary days of "fishing, chopping wood, ploughing and reading" on earth are full of poetry in the eyes of fairies.

The seven fairies sang the most beautiful hymns for the life of "fishing and plowing", namely "seven women and four praises", which were deeply appreciated by readers. The words of "four praises" are natural, unadorned, unconventional and unconventional, and are standard folk songs. When it comes to folk songs, it often reminds readers of vulgarity, and this drama is both refined and popular.

However, the creator is very particular about the standard of elegance and vulgarity in traditional Chinese opera. He grasps the standard of elegance and vulgarity according to the identity of the characters and skillfully blends elegance and vulgarity, so that the tricks are promoted to the aesthetic level of appreciating elegance and vulgarity.
