[Edit this paragraph] Artistic features

Mr. Yuan Shihai's artistic talent is superb, and he has comprehensively studied and inherited the performance experience of his predecessors. His traditional foundation is profound and solid, which laid the foundation for his artistic innovation and the establishment of a unique playing style. The characters he created on the stage are simple and bold, vigorous and powerful, vivid and emotional, and thrilling. He not only has an impassioned voice, but also is good at acting. With the unique performance characteristics of "singing with a bronze hammer on the shelf", he greatly improved the performance means of painting faces on the stage, initiated the lead role of painting faces on the shelf in large-scale plays, and successfully created a large number of artistic images that can be called masterpieces and handed down from generation to generation, such as Cao Cao, Lu, jy, Zhang Fei, Lian Po, Xiang Yu, Niu Hao and Doulton. Among the masses, they are called "Live Cao Cao", "Live Zhang Fei", "Live jy" and "Live Lu".

Yuan Shihai's voice is broad, bright and vigorous, and his unique explosive sound and mellow timbre and application make it sound powerful. The pronunciation is true and clear. He is good at expressing the rich inner changes of his characters with a clear rhythm, such as "Water Board" and "Allegro".

Workmanship is the first achievement of the shelf. The so-called "doing" includes not only the posture frame, but also the posture expression when shaping the characters. Yuan Shihai has both. He is burly, slow and steady, graceful and generous, and pays attention to the perfection of modeling. He depicts the characters in detail, a seemingly ordinary play, but it can grasp the inner activities of the characters and reveal their personality characteristics. For example, in the drama Black Whirlwind, he performed Li Kui jy's performance of seeing the scenery of the water margin. It's a one-man show, with no outstanding dramatic contradictions. "But he excavated the connotation of Li Kui jy's character, thoughts and feelings. From the colorful peach blossoms and the singing of fish and birds, I thought of Wu Yong's poems, but I couldn't recite them. At the same time, I thought that someone ridiculed Liangshan for not having beautiful scenery, and I immediately wanted to beat him up. "(Weng Ouhong's Talk about Peking Opera School) This performance vividly reveals Li Kui jy's simple and straightforward character and clear love-hate relationship.

Yuan Lao entered the department and studied Cao Cao. At that time, he was passed on from mouth to mouth, and his heart was connected. He has no script and must study like a teacher. Later, with the script, we must learn to analyze the characters and let Cao Cao, who is treacherous, powerful, suspicious, cunning, both civil and military, and politically minded, put it into action. Known as "living Cao Cao".

In 1960s, he played Hatoyama in the modern drama The Red Lantern. He used traditional performance skills, followed the creative principle of starting from life, and used drama performance techniques for reference, and successfully created an unprecedented image of Yukio Hatoyama on the Peking Opera stage. It has made an important contribution to the performance of modern life in Peking Opera.

Thirty-eight years later, the original crew actually rearranged the play, which caused a sensation again. According to the 86-year-old Mr. Yuan Lao, this time, they also created the best in the world: the original crew on the drama stage replayed the most plays across time. In 38 years, there were many people in the original class, which was indeed the highest in the world. Shanghai Guinness World Records issued a certificate to the crew. Mr. Yuan Lao said humorously that he didn't expect to set such a record when he was old. He put it in a conspicuous place in the living room, but according to Yuan Lao, it will be handed over to China Peking Opera Theatre in the future. He didn't expect that he could add luster to the theater when he was old.

Although Yuan Shihai is 86 years old, he insists on living alone. He said he was in good health. If he is with children, they always treat themselves as old people and take care of them too much, but they feel uncomfortable. So, I am still myself.

According to Yuan Lao, a few years ago, with the special approval of the relevant departments, he moved into this three-bedroom and two-bedroom house. The original bedroom is also good, but because there is no elevator, it is inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs. It's all right now. There is an elevator. You can go downstairs at any time. At first, the children simply decorated the house according to Yuan Lao's wishes. Yuan Lao said that the bedroom of the elderly is safe and simple, with a traditional cultural atmosphere. It is easier to feel intimate and natural when living, and the decoration is too fashionable. Leave it to young people to enjoy.

Every Spring Festival, children will take off the old Ah Fu for Yuan Lao and put on a new one, year after year. These traditional Spring Festival gifts make his room full of joy all year round.

On his 80th birthday, all the students came. On the one hand, the bonsai of Shoutao symbolizes that Yuan Lao's students are all over the world, on the other hand, it also wishes Yuan Lao a long and healthy life. On July 1 this year, Yuan Lao is going to participate in a theatrical performance to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Party. Yuan Lao said that the "fighting" in Beijing opera is no longer working. Although the skills of singing two sentences are far from perfect, it can still meet the requirements of the audience.
