First, the introduction of Peking Opera.
1, Peking Opera is an art form, which originated from primitive songs and dances and is a comprehensive stage art style with a long history. During the Han, Tang, Song and Jin Dynasties, a relatively complete opera art was formed, which was composed of literature, music, dance, art, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts. It is characterized by the collection of various art forms in a standard, which embodies their respective personalities in the same nature.
2. Huizhou Opera is the predecessor of Beijing Opera. Since the 55th year of Qing Qianlong, four Huizhou classes, Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, which originally performed in the south, have successively entered Beijing to cooperate with artists from China. It also accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Shaanxi Opera, absorbed some local folk tunes, and constantly exchanged and integrated them to form Beijing Opera. After the formation of Peking Opera, it began to develop rapidly in the Qing court until the Republic of China.
Second, the introduction of Mei painting school art
1, Mei school art, the first school of Peking Opera, has far-reaching influence. Mei School mainly combines the performance modes of Tsing Yi, Hua Dan and Beijing Opera blues, and constantly innovates and develops in singing, reading, doing, dancing, music, clothing and costume, which has raised the singing and performing arts of Beijing Opera to a new level and reached a perfect realm.
2. The characteristic of Mei school art is that it never emphasizes characteristics. Mei School was founded by Mei Lanfang. Like other schools of Peking Opera, it took its own road of innovation and development on the basis of learning from the older generation of artists. The plays that Mei Lanfang learned from Wu Lingxian are basically the opening scenes of Tsing Yi Peking Opera, and those that she learned from Chen Delin and Wang Yaoqing are also well-behaved traditional old plays.
3. Mei Lanfang is not only proficient in singing, reading, doing and playing, but also innovates and develops on the basis of inheriting the artistic style of predecessors, forming a unique school of Peking Opera-Mei School, and also carries out reforms and creations in performance, clothing, music, makeup, dance and stage lighting.
