After watching Huangmei Opera, I feel that Huangmei Opera, together with Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Pingju Opera and Henan Opera, is known as one of the five major operas in China and one of the Han operas. Known for its lively and lyrical expression, it is rich in expressive force; This is one of the reasons why so many people like it.
1 Before, I always thought Huangmei Opera and Peking Opera were old-fashioned and only suitable for those old people to sing. However, since that rehearsal, I changed my mind.
One day, my classmate's grandmother asked me to learn to sing Huangmei Opera with my classmates. After hearing this news, I feel like a frosted eggplant, and I have never sung these plays in my career, and I always feel that I can't sing well. But let me sing this time, isn't it asking for trouble?
I walked to the rehearsal place with trepidation. When I first entered the door, I saw that there was already a sea of people inside, and the whole neighborhood Committee was packed, all of them were grandmothers! I thought nervously: so many people know at a glance that they are trained. If I can't sing well in the future, I'll make a fool of myself!
The class began, because we transfer students can't do anything, so we just sit and listen to them sing. Slowly, I listened with relish and was fascinated. Alas, I wondered why Huangmei Opera was so good. Unconsciously, we also learned to sing a few songs. Who knows, an old woman came up with a bad idea and asked us to sing for two children. God, like a bolt from the blue, we looked at each other, but with the help of another grandmother, I gritted my teeth and started.
After singing, everyone couldn't help applauding us and praising us for learning fast and singing well. Gradually, I like Huangmei Opera, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. The more I listen to it, the more I feel that Huangmei opera is good.
It turns out that Huangmei opera is also very nice. I underestimated it before, and I can't do it again!
Chapter II: Huangmei Opera
To tell the truth, I don't like China's traditional plays at all, because in my impression, they usually just keep singing and have no interest.
However, seeing a Huangmei opera on TV a few years ago changed my view of them.
The performer's voice is so soft and the music is so beautiful. It gives people a refreshing feeling after listening. I think this is its charm.
The origin of Huangmei Opera can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Huangmei tea-picking songs were very popular. After the development of folk songs in the Song Dynasty and the influence of drama in the Yuan Dynasty, folk operas gradually took shape. Huangmei County's opera style is more prosperous. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Weilun, the magistrate of Huangmei County, recorded a rural drama October in On Huangmei Feng Jiao. In the ninth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, in Biejilin's Poem of Asking Flowers and Waterfront, a description of Zhi Zhu's ci is even more vivid: there are many rice and sunflower in Yinshan, and Taibai Lake catches waves. When I met this year's club owner, the villages sang tea-picking songs together.
Huangmei Opera is not only beautiful and moving, but also has such a long legend.
I think the traditional dramas in China are getting less and less popular now, and they are replaced by pop songs. Although pop songs do have their advantages, we can't forget China's traditional operas because of them! As long as you feel it with your heart, it is not difficult to find the beauty of China's traditional operas. So, please come with me to feel the beauty of China's traditional drama. I believe everyone will like it!

In Anqing urban and rural areas, men and women, old and young, will be excited when they hear the melody of Huangmei Opera, and even can't help singing along. Some people say that if you can't sing Huangmei Opera, you are not a real Anqing person. However, I grew up in the voice of Huangmei.

Chapter 5: Huangmei Opera
"Huangmei Opera" must be familiar to everyone. Now, Huangmei Opera has a history of more than 200 years. I saw Huangmei Opera for the first time today. First, a sketch is presented to me. Then, today's opera began.
The story goes like this: Master Xue's first wife won't have children, and Master Xue married his second wife, who soon became pregnant with children. The first wife was very jealous. Just as Master Xue went to Beijing to take the exam, the first lady wanted to take advantage of the second lady. After the master left, the first lady locked the second lady in the mill and told her to grind flour every day. From time to time with a whip. Once, after the first lady beat and scolded, she cruelly kicked the second lady in the stomach and screamed with pain. The first lady's maid, Honglian, is a good person, and she feels sorry for the second lady. After seeing the first lady off, I hurried to see the second lady. Just arrived at the door, I heard the baby crying, and a little life was born in the mill. The second lady gave birth to a boy! In order to prevent the big lady from hurting the little boy, the second lady cruelly asked Red-violet to send the little boy away. 13 years later, the little boy Keppel grew up. Master Xue has also become an official and is going to take his family to Beijing. The first lady set fire to the mill in the dead of night, but red-violet released the second lady ahead of time. Soon, Keppel and the second lady who came out to find their mother were recognized, and the first lady was driven out by the Xue family. Five years later, Keppel is the top student in high school. Foster parents want to get to know him personally. Unexpectedly, this second risk only cares about face, denies people, kills parents, and suffers retribution.
At first, everyone thought that Keppel might not adopt mom and dad. Sure enough, everyone guessed. Ungrateful Keppel only cares about his own face, and the jokes and admitted things told by others have no place in court. It's all excuses. If you admit it, the people will definitely say that he is a good official. If you don't admit it, you will be scolded by others, saying that he is an unfilial son. His adoptive parents raised him with great pains, fearing that he would be hungry and frozen at night. Cook him good food every meal, for fear that he won't have enough to eat and think it's not delicious. . . . . .
In short, don't be such an ungrateful villain as Xue Jibao. If others are good to you, you should be good to others.
Thoughts on watching Huangmei Opera 2 Our Chinese nation has a long cultural history, and drama is one of the dazzling pearls, shining on the land of China. Drama is a unique artistic culture of the Chinese nation. For thousands of years, it has influenced China and the world with its unique artistic charm and profound cultural connotation.
Huangmei Opera is one of the five major operas in China, with far-reaching influence. It originated in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and developed from folk ballads. It is good at lyric, full of charm, beautiful and beautiful, its singing is like flowing water, euphemistic and fresh, delicate and moving, with a strong earthy flavor, easy to understand and popularize, and is deeply loved by people everywhere.
In terms of repertoire, Huangmei Opera is known as "36 major dramas and 72% small dramas". The play mainly shows the people's dissatisfaction with class oppression, the disparity between the rich and the poor, and their yearning for a free and beautiful life. Most of the plays show fragments of rural laborers' lives. The main repertoires are: Fairy Couple, Female Xu, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Story of Rope, Tears of Mother, Three Searches for the Country House, Story of Buckwheat, etc. Among them, the immortal couple is the most famous, which has been adapted into TV series and movies.
The Fairy Couple mainly tells the story that the seven fairies hated the barren days in the Heavenly Palace and fell in love with Yong Dong out of sympathy, so they ignored the strict rules of heaven and ran to earth. Under the Huaiyin tree, I met Yong Dong and poured out my heart to him, so they got married. Two couples are looking forward to the future, looking forward to happiness, when they suddenly hear the jade emperor's will to let the seven fairies return to the palace immediately, otherwise it will be a disaster for Dong Yong, and the seven fairies will have to be separated from Yong Dong ... "Birds in the tree are in pairs, and green mountains and green waters laugh. From now on, I will no longer suffer from slavery, and both husband and wife will go home ... "This beautiful love is completely integrated into the beautiful Huangmei opera, which makes the audience amazed and relaxed.
Huangmei opera is simple, simple to sing and simple to say ... generations of farmers have learned simplicity in opera, such as dirt and no impurities.
Reflections on Huangmei Opera is the main local drama in China. Huangmei Opera originated in the border areas of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. More than a hundred years ago, Huangmei tune was popular here, also called "tea-picking drama". A tribe in this little play gradually moved eastward and became a climate in Anqing, Anhui Province, forming the later Huangmei Opera. In the early Huangmei Opera, most of the local folk songs were directly put on the stage to show the local life, especially the story of rural life. For example, "Beating Pig Grass" tells the story of a rural boy and a girl who have conflicts because of mowing grass and damaging crops, and resolve the conflicts through dialogue. Among them, "Lang to flowers, sister to flowers, couple to Li …" has always been a popular song.
Another example is "Couples Watching Lights", which depicts the colorful life of the city through the experience of a young couple watching lights on the Lantern Festival. Soon, Huangmei Opera also made some achievements in moving and performing big plays. These plays are mainly influenced by "Qingyang Tune" and "Huizhou Tune", such as Wuji Ji and Seven Fairys Descending from Earth. Among them, The Seven Fairys Descending from the Earth was honed and revised several times, and finally it was named Fairy Descending from the Earth, which became the most influential masterpiece of Huangmei Opera. It should be pointed out that the early Huangmei Opera was basically a literary form for farmers to entertain themselves. Since the 1920s, Huangmei Opera has gradually taken shape and embarked on the road of professional performance. One of its important signs is that the performance venue has stepped onto the urban stage from the countryside.
First, professional class clubs appeared in Huaining, Anhui. Huaining is known as the "hometown of drama". Huangmei tune is very prosperous here. From the performance side, there are many plays, talents and societies; As far as the audience is concerned, it has a large audience and a large market. As a result, a number of theatrical troupes came into being. 1926, Ding Yongquan (Dan Jiao), Cao Zengxiang (Xiao Sheng), Ding Heshou (Clown) and other famous actors' clubs were active in Anqing, and then took root here. After Huangmei Opera entered the city, it was influenced by Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Yang Opera, Huai Opera and Pingju Opera, and its performance level was greatly improved. In terms of repertoires, other repertoires such as Wen, Hong Bi Yuan, Gorgeous Garden and The Tale of Bees have also been adapted and transplanted. Musically, the traditional singing method has been reformed to some extent, mainly by reducing the padding words with strong dialect and dialect color in the traditional singing method, making the singing method concise and lively, and easy to read and understand word by word.
From the performance point of view, it absorbed some stylized actions of the brother drama. Such as opening and closing doors, dressing and drinking. Others are better than rural performances in clothing, props, installations, accompaniment and many other aspects. Huangmei Opera in this period, especially in the 1940s, has matured. The greater development of Huangmei Opera was after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Due to the state's emphasis on local operas, Anhui Province has selected some professionals in literature, drama, music and art to participate in the reform of Huangmei Opera in order to strengthen its artistic strength. With the joint efforts of old and new artists, Huangmei Opera has taken on a new look. Huangmei Opera has jumped from Anqing Opera to the largest opera in Anhui Province. Today, Huangmei Opera and Huangshan Mountain are called "Huang Er of Anhui Province", which has become the pride of Anhui Province. During this period, Huangmei Opera and its singing methods were reformed. Musically, it enhanced the expressive force of "Pingci" singing and broke through the limitation that "coloratura" can only be used for special purposes. At the same time, it skillfully draws lessons from the homophonic elements of folk songs and creates a new cavity that is in harmony with traditional singing.
Accompaniment is no longer an intermittent "three strikes and seven sings", but a band combining Chinese and western music, which greatly improves the expressive force of traditional Chinese opera from the musical atmosphere. There are many plays performed in this period, but most of them have been sorted out and adapted. For example, a couple watching the lights, a fairy match, blue bridge pumping, mending, butterfly lovers, mourning, Liujing, Chunxiangchuan, female Xu, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Party. Among them, Fairy Descent, Woman Xu and Cowherd and Weaver Girl were made into movies, which played an important role in the wide spread of Huangmei Opera and the preservation of the excellent features of Huangmei Opera artists. When it comes to Huangmei Opera, we can't help but mention a group of old artists who have made great contributions to Huangmei Opera, such as Yan Fengying, Wang Shaofang and Pan Jingli. Among them, Yan Fengying is the most prominent. So far, whenever people mention Huangmei Opera, they will mention the fairy couple, and whenever they mention the fairy couple, they will mention Yan Fengying, the actor of the Seven Fairies. Imagine how many people can sing Yan Fengying's "Kill Two Birds with One Tree" in China today!
