A Review of the Four Masters of Yuan Opera, Classical Characters of Traditional Chinese Opera and Their Research
Text:
Guan Hanqing's Dou 'e Yuan is earth-shattering, which makes the listener sad and tears. Bai Pu's Wu Tongyu tells the sincere feelings between an emperor and his concubine. Ma Zhiyuan's Autumn in the Han Palace describes the grief of a generation of Ming emperors who lost their love for the prosperity of their country. Wang Shifu's Romance of the West Chamber expresses his good wish that "all shall be well, jack shall have Jill". . Approaching them, I feel that these characters seem to have become vivid images before our eyes, triggering our exploration and thinking.
First, Dou E's feeling of injustice is earth-shaking.
Guan Hanqing, whose real name is Zhai Zuo, is his word. In the first half of his life, he struggled to survive in the cracks, and in the second half, he actively created, leaving many well-known plays, such as the comedy Save the Wind and Dou Eyuan, which reflected his sympathy for the people and his dissatisfaction with the dark and decadent society. But in comparison, I appreciate Dou E more. The following is the research and analysis of her image.
In short, Dou E's life is full of tragedies. When I was a child, my father sold her to her mother-in-law Cai as a child bride in order to go to Beijing to catch the exam. When she became an adult, she experienced the pain of losing her father, but all this was nothing to Dou E who had been "immersed" in the bitter days since childhood. But from then on, it was the beginning of her tragic fate and the end of her life. Cai and I have different opinions on whether to remarry. It is understandable that Cai is old and lonely, but the last thing she should do is to force her to remarry against her will. That's all. After all, Cai is her elder, and the filial piety of "respecting the old and loving the young" does not allow her to disobey her mother-in-law. Of course, in modern times, I absolutely support the practice of refusing to marry, but it was unwise at that time, not to mention that she didn't completely disrespect Grandma Cai, at least her death was to help Grandma Cai take the blame. Dou E's spirit of not being afraid of power and daring to struggle is commendable, but her death often makes people regret that she was born at an inopportune time.
Dou E made three vows before she died, that is, blood spilled everywhere, snow fell in June, and there was no drought for three years. Personally, I think these three vows are all possible except six In the snow falls, which just proves Dou E's injustice, so it can be said that she is a stubborn person and has her own principles of dealing with people.
Second, when the autumn rain falls on the night,
Bai Pu, whose real name is Renfu, is from Gu Lan. He has been displaced since childhood, and there is a strong sense of vicissitudes between the lines of his works. Wu Tongyu and Soon Is the Wall, which have been handed down to this day, are all dramas with love themes, and what I want to talk about here is the historical drama Wu Tongyu, which is a combination of love and politics. The title comes from the sentence of "phoenix tree falls in the autumn rain and night rain" in Bai Juyi's poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow". This sentence gives a hint of the ending of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, so I like it very much. This is a sad beauty.
The love story between Li and Yang seems a bit conventional in the traditional novels of gifted scholars and beautiful women, but due to the lofty status of the hero and heroine and the political turmoil at that time, this love has taken on a different color. "Since ancient times, emperors have been fickle", so Li's affection for Yang has become the evidence of Yang's "femme fatale", which has to be said to be a kind of sadness. As an emperor, it is sometimes an unattainable dream to "want more beauties for the country", but the reality is "abandon beauties for the country". The tragic fate of Yang Yuhuan, one of the "four beauties", is actually inseparable from her times.
Third, broken dreams, lonely geese, Han Gongqiu
Ma Zhiyuan,No. Dongli, was called "the ancestor of Qiu Si" because of "Tianjingsha Qiu Si", and he himself was also called "the number one composer". At the same time, Ma Zhiyuan also wrote a series of zaju, the most representative of which is Autumn in Han Palace.
Autumn in the Palace of Han Dynasty is created around the famous story of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress in history. People have been talking about this historical event in Feiyun, and the "fact" I appreciate is the TV series "Zhao Jun's departure" starring Li Caihua, which was filmed several years ago. Mao Yanshou fell in love with Zhaojun at first sight, so he hid his true portrait. Zhaojun and Huhanye met by chance before they got married, and two of a kind and Emperor Han Yuan became friends. This version reduced the hardships of Zhaojun's life in the frontier fortress, and raised the desire between Xie Han and Zhaojun from beauty to love. The only fly in the ointment is that Zhaojun changed from sacrificing for the country to dedicating for love, which weakened the appeal of her image to future generations. But in the end, she is just a little woman. However, even so, I admire her courage to marry abroad. After all, as far as modern concepts are concerned, it is difficult to keep a long-distance relationship, let alone marry a stranger for the sake of a lover. Maybe you have been brave and made a choice, but when the passion fades, what can you use to support your marriage? Therefore, I think it is not difficult to "jack shall have Jill", but what to do afterwards.
So Zhaojun is decisive and happy, because she always knows what she wants and is willing to make efforts for it.
Fourth, the eternal West Chamber
Wang Shifu, whose real name is Dexin, is his masterpiece The West Chamber. In short, it tells the story of Cui Yingying, the daughter of the Prime Minister, and Zhang Junrui, a candidate, who fell in love at first sight and married for life.
The Romance of the West Chamber is different from the general novel of "a talented person and a beautiful woman". It has a happy ending, but that doesn't mean I agree with Cui Yingying. As a lady, it is absolutely unwise to meet a man in private and make a promise in person. Otherwise, there will be no incident of "getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket" in modern times. In fact, it can be traced back to ancient times. I remember someone saying that young people should cherish their feathers, but I want to say that girls should know how to protect themselves. It's not terrible to marry someone who loves himself but doesn't love himself. To make matters worse, when all the dust settles, "infidelity" has become the murderer who takes away your happiness.
Conclusion:
The word "love" is actually the most difficult question in the world. When friendship, affection and love conflict, how to choose? I remember when Zhao Jun decided to ask Xie Han to leave, she asked her why. Zhao Jun said: "I will be heartbroken without my parents, and I will be heartbroken without you, so I would rather be heartbroken than heartbroken in the future." This sentence once touched me and is still fresh in my memory. Vows are often beautiful, but when they collide with reality, choosing is the most difficult thing. There are some things that we haven't experienced, so we can't be biased. Only by looking at reality can we make the most appropriate choice.
