The social status of Japanese kabuki actors has changed. Who has this information?

2005 is the 400th anniversary of Japanese kabuki.

Kabuki, Nengli and Ren Jing Liuli (that is, "Le Wen") are also called the three major Japanese dramas. Of course, there are also ravings, but ravings are good at humor and language. Among them, kabuki is the only one who has changed from the earliest prostitute kabuki performance in ancient Japan to the elegant hall today.

The ancestor of kabuki is Aguo, a beautiful woman in the Antu Taoshan era in Japan. A country is a priestess of Izumo people and Izumo society. She reformed "chanting Buddha" and added a simple story as a public performance, which aroused strong repercussions in Kyoto, Osaka and other places and was well received by the people. This is the original form of kabuki today. It has gradually become an important form of entertainment in citizens' lives.

But later, many female tourists began to perform kabuki soliciting and engage in prostitution, so 1629 shogunate banned female tourists from performing kabuki. So Ruozhong Kabuki, dressed as a woman, began to appear, because Kabuki was deeply loved by warriors, and many actors of Ruozhong Kabuki became the darlings of warriors and lived a decadent life. (In fact, he is gay now), so in 1652, the shogunate issued an order prohibiting the performance of Ruozhong Kabuki. However, because kabuki is so popular, many performing groups let young actors play the role of middle-aged and elderly men among performers, so Nokuro Kabuki came into being. At this point, kabuki basically laid the embryonic form of modern Japanese kabuki. Kabuki has since changed the focus of confusing the audience with beauty, turned to acting, and gradually developed into a pure performing art performed by male actors. Up to now, only men can play kabuki, and kabuki actors are all men.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan was fully westernized and imitated Western Europe. Many Japanese intellectuals and politicians who returned from Western Europe saw that art was regarded as a symbol of national culture in western European civilized society. Therefore, the status of kabuki and kabuki performers has been greatly improved, and kabuki is regarded as the representative of Japanese culture.
