Kunqu opera and Beijing opera
The Qingyi in Kunqu and Peking operas belonged to the Dan Xing, and they had an important position in their respective operas. ** 1. Kunqu Qingyi ** 1. ** Acting Style ** - The performance of Kunqu opera was restrained, tactful and delicate. Kunqu Qingyi needed to adjust her breath reasonably when performing, because Kunqu singing did not "pass the door", and it was a test of strength to sing while doing the body. 2. [Character Creation] - For example, when Fang Tingyu played Cui Yingying, she showed her oriental aesthetics by turning her head and raising her eyes. Kunqu Qingyi emphasized on traditional China aesthetics when creating characters. 3. ** Inheritance and Development ** - There were examples of Peking opera actors like Lian Wenqing learning from Kunqu opera. Lian Wenqing had studied Kunqu's "Peony Pavilion" for a year and a half from Liang Guyin, an 80-year-old Kunqu artist. This showed that the performing arts of Kunqu Qingyi were worth learning from Peking opera actors. At the same time, it also reflected that the exchange and integration of opera arts would help the inheritance and development of Kunqu Qingyi performing arts. ** 2. Beijing opera, Tsing Yi ** 1. ** Acting Style ** - Peking opera performances were more external. The movements of Qing Yi in Beijing opera were relatively small, but her movements were more stable. She was usually dignified, calm, and beautiful. The recitation of the poem is generally called "rhyme", and the main focus is on singing. 2. [Character Creation] - The role played by Qing Yi in Beijing opera was usually a dignified and quiet married young woman. When performing tragic characters and people at the bottom of society, their costumes were often black (black was called "Qing" in ancient times, which was also one of the origins of the name Qing Yi). For example, Zhang Huoding played the role of Concubine Yu. As an actress of the Cheng School, she found a unique Cheng School performance style for the role of Concubine Yu when she performed Farewell My Concubine. From the singing to the performance movements, she carefully designed them, reflecting the uniqueness of the role creation of the Qing Yi in Beijing opera. 3. ** Inheritance and Development ** - In the course of development, it had undergone many reforms. In the 1920s, Wang Yaoqing and Mei Lanfang reformed the Qingyi industry, integrating the skills of Hua Dan and Dao Ma Dan into Qingyi performances. In the 1950s, Zhang Junqiu integrated the characteristics of the four famous actresses, making the Peking opera Qingyi continue to develop. According to the genre, the Qingyi of Beijing opera can be divided into the Qingyi of the Plum Sect and the Qingyi of the Zhang Sect. The singing of the Plum Sect is simple and fresh, with a combination of hardness and softness, with the beauty of natural harmony; the singing of the Zhang Sect is vigorous and euphemistic, beautiful and fresh. The development of different schools had enriched the performing arts of the Beijing opera. The novel "The Legend of Dian Kingdom in Clouds as Deep as the Sea" is equally exciting.
