Description
Peking Opera, having always boasted an excellent reputation as the “National Opera”, is a form of artistic expression that possesses unmatched beauty. When the opera troupes of Anhui entered Beijing, they intermingled with the Kunqiang and Hubei opera troupes, so that “Pihuang” gradually became the primary form of performance, which incorporated the essence of the singing from local operas such as Kunqu, Sichuan, Bozi, and Nanluo, eventually going on to become the quintessence of Chinese culture. In the two centuries that followed, theaters began to flourish all over China, with countless repertoires and famous artists appearing. Among them, the Mei school of art created by Mr. Mei Lanfang has never waned. Its influence spread far and wide, and even became famous overseas.
Mei Lanfang was born in Beijing in 1894, though his ancestral home was Taizhou. Born into a family of famous actors, he learned from his family members and also from many teachers and went on to become a pioneer of the newly emerging dan (a female role) actor genre in the early 20th century. His performance style was rigorous and refined yet elegant and beautiful, appearing reserved but actually full of complexity: his singing was exquisite, pure and full; his spoken lines were delivered in a sweet but rich voice, strong but not rough. The Mei Lanfang art school he founded subverted the previous Peking Opera style of having the laosheng (an aged male role) as the main focus and created a new era by dividing the main focus equally between the laosheng role and the dan role, which was imitated by others in the opera world.
On stage, Mei Lanfang presented two images: “One is showing, the other is being shown.” “Showing” is the actor himself, and “being shown” are the characters in his operas. What Mei “was showing” were artistic creations full of Oriental elegance, and one can appreciate the beauty and rhythm conveyed by his singing and dancing; at the same time, there was also a kind of “hidden” magic that transformed the actor into the mortal body of thousands of opera characters and brought them to life on stage. Actors and characters can become one, and with their myriad rehearsed movements, actors can create a highly animated character, “pull” themselves out of the character’s body at any time, and “look at themselves and their performances with astonished eyes.” This is the charm of Peking Opera and Chinese opera in general. As a pioneer in the overseas dissemination of Peking Opera art, he visited Japan, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries many times, demonstrating the unique value of Chinese opera in the world’s great houses of art. He made positive contributions to exchanges and mutual learning between the Chinese and foreign civilizations.
滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空，青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢，古今多少事， 都付笑谈中。滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空，青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢，古今多少事， 都付笑谈中。滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空，青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢，古今多少事， 都付笑谈中。
