Why is the opera world called Liyuan?
Liyuan was originally a place name of Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Because Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, taught artists here, it was later associated with China traditional drama and became synonymous with art organizations and artists. Emperor Tang Ming chose Qubu as a geisha and taught in a pear garden with 300 children. If the sound is wrong, the emperor will feel it and correct it. No, Children of the Emperor's Pear Garden. Hundreds of ladies-in-waiting are also disciples of Liyuan, living in Yichun North Yard. Division is the beginning of pear orchard. The origin of "Liyuan" was recorded in the Records of the Temple in Wuxian County written by Jinshi and Jiaqing in the ninth year of Qing Dynasty (1804). "... I visited the capital and met the god of Laolang Temple. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the son of Geng Feng Gong Gong was a famous scholar Yashan (Yi Yi Dance) and was given the surname Li to support his children in the palace. It's called Pear Garden because it's all over the world because it loves pears. The ancestors of future generations. ..... "Modern Li Youbai wrote" Examination of the Pear Garden ",which verified the origin of the pear garden. In Tang Zhongzong (705-7 10), the pear garden is only a fruit and wood garden that coexists with jujube garden, mulberry garden, Taoyuan and cherry orchard in the imperial forbidden garden. Guo Mu Garden has a farewell hall, a wine pavilion and a stadium, which is a place for emperors, their relatives and nobles to enjoy themselves. Later, under the vigorous advocacy of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the nature of the pear garden changed. There is a simple orchard planted with fruit trees. In the Tang Dynasty, it gradually became a pear garden where "children of the pear garden" practiced singing, dancing and opera, and became the first comprehensive "art college" integrating music, dance and opera in the history of China. Li Longji himself served as Cui Gong (or Ya Gong) of Liyuan, equivalent to the present principal (or dean). Under Cui Gong, there are two teams: Editing and General Le Ying (also known as Kui Ling). Li Longji wrote for Liyuan, and often instructed the Hanlin bachelor or famous literati to write programs at that time. For example, the poets He, Li Bai and Li Bai all wrote plays for Liyuan. Li Longji, Lei Haiqing, Gong Sundaniang and so on. They all held the post of Le Yingjiang. They are not only talented and famous artists, but also tireless instructors. In the poem "Watching Gong Sundaniang's Disciples Dance Sword", the poet Du Fu lamented Gong Sundaniang's bold dance, "like a sunset, an angel before the wings of a flying dragon; She began to vent her anger like a thunderbolt, just like the river and the sea. " In the preface of this poem, it is said that there is a calligrapher named Zhang Xu. Since watching Gong Sundaniang's sword dance, his cursive script has made great progress. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, relied on these excellent creators and directors to create a large number of performing artists. During the Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty (7 12-756), the feudal economic and cultural development of the so-called "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" reached an unprecedented height. It has not only produced a number of famous writers and poets at home and abroad, but also made outstanding achievements in the fields of dance and music. Liyuan was produced in the Tang Dynasty and occupies an important position in the history of China opera.
