Three. Cantonese Opera History Encyclopedia Business Card Cantonese Opera Hua Dan Modeling Cantonese Opera, formerly known as Grand Opera or Cantonese Opera, originated from Southern Opera, and began to appear in Guangdong and Guangxi from 1522 to 1566 (Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty). It is a performing art that combines chorus, musicians' music, stage costumes and abstract forms.
Every business of Cantonese opera has its own unique costumes. The language of the original performance was Zhongyuan phonology, also known as Opera House Mandarin.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to publicize the revolution, intellectuals changed their singing language to Cantonese to make it easier for Cantonese people to understand. Cantonese opera was included in the first batch of 5 18 national intangible cultural heritage list published on May 20, 2006.
On September 30, 2009, Cantonese opera was recognized by UNESCO and included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind. Historical Evolution Before the Yuan Dynasty, Cantonese opera originated from the rise of seven-character folk songs in China, which can be traced back to the Book of Songs in 22 1 year BC (pre-Qin period). However, these are traditional operas in China and Hua Dan, such as Peking Opera and Cantonese Opera, as well as poetic dramas such as Shanghai Yueju Opera and Huangmeidiao.
China's seven-character folk songs developed from 500 years to 1500 years (the west is the Middle Ages; China is the Wei, Jin and Tang Dynasties, which reached an unprecedented peak and formed a generation of literary style-Tang poetry. These orderly folk songs not only formed the story-telling content, but also added the rhythm characteristics of Muyu Festival to the popular performances of Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty.
However, due to being at the bottom of society for a long time, and the influence of foreign music, banquet music (or Yan music) has been appreciated by the ruling class in the Tang Dynasty, so it has not been greatly developed. Ci music developed from banquet music, after Tang and Song Dynasties, formed a kind of drama with different rules as Gongdiao.
Yuan Zaju became the most popular drama type. There was a scene called 10% discount.
In the future, only one scene will be selected, which is called the passbook play. There are many Cantonese operas handed down from Yuan Zaju, and even some traditional Cantonese operas are exactly the same as Yuan Zaju, such as The West Chamber, Dou Eyuan, Walking in the Snow, Leaving the Soul, and The Orphan of Zhao.
Gui Youguang 1368 to 1644 (Ming dynasty) wrote the suicide note of Zhuang Qu in Volume 9, which recorded Yu Wenmin written by Wei School 152 1 year (Ming dynasty 16), among which "Chongwen" was written by Wei School. "Don't make up obscene songs, play emperors of past dynasties, slander ancient and modern times, offenders will ask" and so on.
This can be said to be the earliest written record of drama in Guangdong. According to Xinhui County Records, in the mid-1960s, in the year of 15 (the early year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty), local "children of rural customs mostly didn't stay in their jobs and made a living by playing".
A.D. 156 1 year (the 40th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty) recorded in the annals of Guangdong Province: Fu Yue of Guangzhou said, "There were many tricks in the city in February, and it was said that it was" difficult to move the opera, but unwise to play the string ". Therefore, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang artists will claim to be rural when they arrive, and they need to refuse. "This proves that drama was popular at that time.
By 1368 ~ 1644 (Ming dynasty), the southern opera Yiyang Opera had been popular in Guangdong, and Kunban, Huiban and Jiangxi and Hunan troupes often performed in Guangdong. According to the history of Cantonese opera, there was a female Hua Dan named Zhang Qiao in Guangdong, who was from Nanhai.
Her ancestral home is Suzhou, and she was born in Guangdong. Because her mother is a Suzhou Kunqu Opera actress, she was recorded as a Kunqu Opera girl. It can be seen that people from local theatrical troupes began to take root in Guangdong.
Although Cantonese people began to learn to play under the influence of foreign countries, learning to play was still not accepted by conservatives during Chenghua years. There is a family motto on the family tree of Tai Yuan Huo in Shiwan, which forbids ladies to learn to play. Later, a troupe with local people as the main body gradually appeared, and it transitioned to a troupe with local people as the whole.
In order to distinguish the two, the former is called "Waijiang class" and the latter is called "local class". Cantonese Opera not only absorbs the characteristics of Yiyang Opera, but also has blood relations with Anhui Opera (Anhui), Han Opera (Hubei), xiang opera Opera (Hunan), Qi Opera (Hunan) and Guangxi Opera.
Because of the repertoire, aria, music, performance methods, etc. It is roughly the same as Hui, Han, Xiang, Qi and Gui operas. For example, these two dramas, Wen Qing Bu Qiu and Exclusive Flowers, as well as southern martial arts dramas, such as Shovel Chair, Platform Jumping and Night Fighting Ma Chao, are exactly the same as those in Cantonese operas.
Although Waijiang class is close to Huizhou class and local class is close to Xiban class, in fact, in the early days of the establishment of local class, the main difference lies in the people who organize the class. Local classes are composed of local people, mainly referring to professional theatrical troupes composed of local artists.
However, sometimes it can also include temporary theatrical troupes formed by some farmers during seasonal performances. There is no one who doesn't understand that there is harmony after the Qionghua in the play.
Qionghua Club was founded in 1573 ~ 1620 (Wanli period of Ming Dynasty). According to the "Foshan Zhong Yi Township Records", "There are thirty-seven halls in the town, and Qionghua Hall is the most magnificent building."
. At that time, Qionghua Guild Hall was located in Dajipu (Hong Qiang District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province), where "excellent boats gather and the restaurants are on the edge of the city".
At that time, there were four big pillars and a pavilion at the entrance of the hall. The plaque at the entrance of the museum is the word "guild hall", and the whole museum is bigger than the ancestral hall at that time.
The whole museum is divided into three parts: the first part is the bell and drum, followed by the detachable temporary stage; The second entrance is Qionghua Palace Hall, in front of which is Riling; The third entrance is the clubhouse. On Huaguang's birthday, people in the theater gathered in the main hall of Qionghua Palace to worship Huaguang.
Qionghua Club is near Qionghua Water Port near Dajiwei River in Foshan, which is convenient for actors who take red boats to go ashore or perform in other places. It is said that the actor originally rented a purple-hole boat as a play boat, and later added sails to draw dragons and chrysanthemums on the hull, and the bow was painted red, so it was called a red boat.
The center of early activities of Guangdong local troupe in Qing Dynasty was Foshan. 1658 (15th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty), Jianhua sealed the stage in front of the ancestral hall of Ling Ying Temple, which was filled with drums and tables.
From 166 1 to 1722 (Kangxi period) Wanfutai. It is the most magnificent and exquisite ancient stage in Guangdong and the largest ancient stage in Lingnan area, which witnessed the development history of Cantonese opera. The stage is divided into two parts, the front desk is set with gold lacquer wood carvings, and the stage effect is strong.
The entire Wanfutai also adopts an arched structure, and the sound quality that can be heard no matter where you stand is basically the same. 1722 ~ 1735 (Yong in Qing dynasty.
IV. History of Cantonese Opera Cantonese opera is popular in Guangdong Province, southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong and Macao. There are also Cantonese opera performances in Southeast Asia, Oceania and areas where overseas Chinese live in Guangdong. There are artists, formal organizations, trade associations and traditional performance venues in Southeast Asia, such as "Qing Xin" in Singapore and "Changchun" in Kuala Lumpur, which have trained many famous Cantonese opera actors.
In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Yiyang Opera and Kunshan Opera were introduced to Guangdong from the "Waijiang Class", and then "local classes" appeared in Guangdong, and their singing voice was called "Guang Opera". This kind of tune is still preserved in the opening plays of Cantonese Opera, such as "Six Kingdoms Closing the Zen", "Jixian Sending the Son" and "Eight Immortals Birthday". During the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods in the Qing Dynasty, the high-pitched tune and Kunqu opera gradually declined, so the local class took Bangzi (referring to the tune close to Xipi in the Han Dynasty, the "North Road" of Qiyang Opera) as the main singing voice. The influence of the post-Huizhou class is expanding day by day, with "Bangzichun" (that is, Xipi and Huanger) as the basic singing. At the same time, some Kunqu opera, Yi opera and Cantonese opera were retained, and Guangdong folk music and popular tunes were absorbed, gradually forming Cantonese opera. During the Revolution of 1911, under the influence of the new drama (commonly known as civilized drama) of Chunliu Society, some artists with patriotic ideas organized "Shi Zhi Class" one after another to carry out anti-Qing, anti-imperialist and anti-feudal propaganda with workers and students, and compiled and performed plays such as The Martyrdom of Wen Tianxiang. The lyrics are easy to understand. Musically, folk songs are interspersed in the singing of "Banghuang", and the singing method is changed to "flat throat" (true voice). After repeated practice, they are all sung in Guangzhou dialect. Around 1920, many Cantonese Opera taipans often performed in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao, and were often called "provincial and Hong Kong taipans". They absorbed part of the artistic nutrition of drama, opera and film, and soon enriched themselves. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he gradually eliminated the influence of capitalist commercialization, actively excavated and inherited excellent traditions, and made comprehensive innovations in art. He not only performed many excellent plays, but also trained a group of new people.
5. Who knows the historical background of sumo? Sumo (すもぅぅぅぅ): A sport similar to wrestling, which was called Jiao Jiao in the Qin and Han Dynasties and sumo in the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Southern Song Dynasty.
It was introduced to Japan around the Tang Dynasty, and now it is a popular wrestling sport in Japan. Sumo (すもぅぅぅ), formerly known as Su Dance, originated in the Han Dynasty in China, where two Hercules wrestled with each other.
Until the 7th century, at the funeral of Emperor Ingya (A.D. 453), China sent a special envoy to Japan to perform a vegetarian dance, which was considered to be the first time that China sumo was introduced to Japan, which had a certain influence on the primitive sumo in Japan. Later, it became Japan's national skill, Japan's international fighting skills and sports.
As a professional competitive event, it is called sumo in Japan. [Edit this paragraph] In history, both China and Japan have sumo in history.
Judging from some unearthed cultural relics, the image of China Jiaodi in Qin and Han Dynasties is very similar to the popular Japanese sumo. At the latest in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, China had the name of sumo.
Sumo was popular in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The name sumo gradually disappeared in the middle of Qing Dynasty.
In modern times, sumo has always been regarded as a Japanese martial art. In fact, sumo was originally a kind of "fighting" in ancient China. As early as the early Western Han Dynasty, there was a popular folk game in Jizhou (now Hebei): people wore masks with horns, competing and fighting with each other.
This kind of activity, which is both a competition and a performance, is called "Jiao Di", also known as "Chiyou Opera". Sima Qian once recorded in the Huangdi Neijing: "Chiyou has horns, and the head of the Huangdi has horns. Now Jizhou is a Chiyou drama. "
Linking "delicate" with the legend of the Yellow Emperor's war against Chiyou is enough to explain its long history. In ancient times, the scope of "corner arrival" was very wide, and sumo was only a part of it.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that the word "Jiao Di" specifically referred to wrestling, also known as sumo. Now, ancient sumo is quite popular in Japan. Japan's book "The Beginning of Sumo" says that Japanese sumo first appeared in 23 BC.
Japanese Sports Encyclopedia records: "Japanese sumo is related to China corner kick and boxing." The book Tonggou, co-authored by Japanese historical archaeologist Hiroshi Ikeuchi and Umehara Sueji, also said that Japanese sumo is very similar to the corner map on the wall of an ancient tomb unearthed in Ji 'an County, Jilin Province, China. The form and rules of sumo competition are similar to those of China in Tang and Song Dynasties.
Since17th century, professional sumo has sprung up all over Japan, which is called "Grand Sumo". Modern sumo began to form in18th century.
By the beginning of the 20th century, sumo was widely developed as Japan's "national skill". Up to now, the sumo competition in Japan is held six times a year, at 1 month, March, May, July, September and 1 1 month, which has become one of the favorite sports of the masses.
The following are the technical requirements and competition rules of sumo, a popular sport in Japan. Sumo wrestlers should not only have strength, but also have skilled skills, which is the key to winning or losing the competition.
Techniques can be roughly divided into pushing, throwing, grasping, pulling, flashing, pressing and tripping. Athletes use their neck, shoulders, hands, arms, chest, abdomen, waist, knees, legs and feet flexibly to attack each other.
Athletes (called Lux in Japan) are divided into 10 grades according to their sports performance: preface, preface, curtain, XII, head, summary, Guan Wei, Guanguan and Yokozuna. Yokozuna is an athlete's highest title and a lifelong honorary title.
The quality of hairstyles and belts of athletes of Grade 6 above Grade 12 is different from that of Grade 4 under the curtain. /kloc-Grade 6 athletes over 0/2 years old will wear makeup aprons to participate in the competition.
Sumo referees (known as line points in Japan) are also divided into 10 grades according to their age. The level of a sumo referee is called "Ge", and "Yokozuna Ge" is the highest title of a referee.
Their ranks are marked by the color of the tassels on the command fan. The fan used by the referee to direct is called "military competition", and the party pointed by the fan is the winner.
Sumo originated from the religious ceremony of Japanese Shintoism. People hold competitions for the god of harvest in temples, hoping to bring a good harvest.
In Nara and heian period, sumo was a court sport, but in Kamakura and the Warring States period, sumo became a part of samurai training. Professional sumo began in the18th century, which is very similar to the present sumo competition.
Shinto ceremony emphasizes sumo, and the purpose of stamping before the game is to drive away the evil spirits in the field and also to relax the muscles. Salt should be sprinkled on the ruins to achieve the purpose of purification, because Shinto believes that salt can drive away ghosts.
Sumo is played on the table. The whole table is square, with a circle in the middle and a diameter of 4.55 meters.
In the competition, two lux stood almost naked on the stage with their hair in a bun and pocket belts. In the competition, Lux must not touch the table or cross the circle except the sole of his foot.
You can decide the game in a minute or two or even a few seconds. The sumo referee consists of six people.
The referee is the "secretary" with a folding fan, and the other five people are in the front row, east, west and referee's seat respectively. The highest rank of Hercules is "Yokozuna".
Here are the Grand View, Guan Wei, Summary and Neck Front. These four grades are called "in-screen" and belong to the upper layer of soil. Again, there are twelve scenes, in addition to which there are three subordinate items and three sequences.
The bottom layer is called preface. An ordinary lux needs a lot of efforts to get a higher level; It is impossible to get the lowest score without hard work.
Sumo is known as the quintessence of Japan, also known as wrestling and horn. Sumo originated in China.
"Book of Rites and Moon Order": "The son of heaven ordered the generals to talk about martial arts and learn to shoot and wrestle". Later, it was introduced to Japan.
It was first seen in Japan's Collection of Benevolence. It flourished after the Nara era.
7 19 years (three years for providing for the aged), the imperial court set up the department of pulling out (post-prime minister). In heian period, there is a sumo festival every July.
After the Kamakura era, as a martial art, it became popular among samurai. At the end of 17, for-profit professional sumo emerged.
During the Edo period, professional surrender sumo was popular, and Edo became the national sumo center. There was a brief decline during the Meiji Restoration.
At the beginning of Showa, nationalism rose and sumo was revived. After the war, there were sumo courts in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagoya.
As a mass sports activity, it is still quite popular among the people all over the country. Sumo is the only form of wrestling in Japan.
It has a long history as a Japanese Shintoism. At present, there are still many traditional ceremonies. Sumo is the most basic.
6. Who knows the history of Xiqiao in Chaoyang? Xiqiao Town, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, with its back to the sea and fertile land, has always been the "land of plenty" in Chaoshan Plain. According to historical records, Xiqiao Village was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 127 to130), with a history of more than 800 years, which gave birth to splendid and colorful regional culture. Here, it is "hard face" and "tiger mountain fire".
Many stew stories of Xiqiao are inseparable from celebrities and scholars of past dynasties. During the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1228- 1233), Guo Hao, a provincial judge and jurist in Guangxi, was appointed. He did not return to his ancestral home in Putian County, Fujian Province, and settled in Chaoyang with his family. He and his eldest son, Guo Lin, live in Quantang Village at the west foot. During his tenure, Guo Hao's deeds of enforcing the law impartially were incorporated into Guangxi Opera. After Guo Hao settled in Chaoyang, many legendary stories were widely circulated in the local area, and were compiled into "Investigation of a Tough Face" and put on the stage. In the Ming Dynasty, Guo, a young man from Xiqiao Village, fell in love with Su six niang, a cousin from Jieyang County, and rebelled against feudal marriage. Sue six niang drowned in the river and died. His body drifted to the lower reaches of Rongjiang River, was picked up by fishermen and buried in Baiyu Xiaopu near Rongjiang River. Su six niang's grave was destroyed in the early 1960s while leveling farmland in Xuedazhai. The love story between Guo and Su six niang has also been widely circulated, and it has been compiled into the Chaozhou drama Su six niang, and it has also been made into a film and television drama and put on the screen. Chen Qinsheng (A.D. 1886- 19 19), a native of Xiqiao, was one of the pioneers of the democratic revolution in China.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, New China was compiled into a play "Game-writing Tale". 1944, the squadron of Japanese invaders in Hexi Township, led by squadron leader Yong Fang Aoxing, invaded Xiqiao, and Xiqiao people rose up and attacked. In Hushan, they fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders, wiped out 49 Japanese troops, including Yong Fang Aoxing, and became Chaoshan's victory against Japan. The story of Xiqiao people's resistance to the Japanese invaders was widely sung in Chaoshan, and was adapted into the idiom drama "Fire on Tiger Mountain". 1On July 28th, 969, Xiqiao was hit by a strong typhoon, and Yang Jiansheng, director of the commune revolutionary committee, was only 39 years old. After Yang Jiansheng died, he was awarded the title of "Revolutionary Martyr" by the Provincial Revolutionary Committee. Many touching stories of Yang Jiansheng in Xiqiao were passed down as anecdotes, and were compiled into the Chaozhou drama Yang Jiansheng, which was widely circulated in eastern Guangdong.
The touching story makes Xiqiao, a frontier ancient town, famous far and near, and a number of ancient buildings, ancient poems and ancient tombs related to the story also add luster to Xiqiao ancient town. Among them, Mei Feng Temple and Waterless Bridge built in Tang Dynasty, Changmeiyan Temple built in Song Dynasty, Guxueyan Temple built in Yuan Dynasty and Huangshi Ancestral Temple built in Ming Dynasty are well preserved.

Among them, the Yuan Dynasty poet Chen wrote a poem named Fengshan Ancient Village, which wrote: "Make sure that the banner of righteousness was built in those days, and Fengshan Rock encircles Yangxi. Where is the hero battle base now? The crows of the ages shine brightly. " Chen Daqi, an imperial historian in the Ming Dynasty, wrote the poem "Wuyan Cave": "There are monks in the depths of the rock. Linggen does not keep the secret of a thousand years, but keeps a peach and a tree flower. " There is an ancient forest here. There are more than 1000 ancient trees over a hundred years old, including Huaiyin trees planted in the Song Jianyan era, plum trees planted in the Yuan Dynasty, and cycads planted in the Qing Daoguang era.
