Peking Opera?
Peking Opera was formed in the middle of19th century. It was gradually formed with the Han tones introduced from four Huizhou classes in Qianlong and Daoguang years of Qing Dynasty, which were integrated into Beijing dialect and absorbed other vocal arts. During the Qing Dynasty, Peking Opera was widely spread in Tianjin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the famous actors from south to north performing in Tianjin, Tianjin artists absorbed their strengths and gradually formed their own performance style. At that time, Tianjin Wushu was the most distinctive. For example, Huang Yueshan, the founder of the three sects, is not only good at martial arts, but also excellent at singing. He can also play a young student and an old student. ?
After the 1920s, famous actors from all walks of life in Beijing Opera competed to perform in Tianjin, and all of them took "crossing Tianjin Pass" as a symbol to test their level. There is a saying in the drama circle that "Beijing studies art, Tianjin sings red, and Shanghai makes money", which just shows Tianjin's special position in the history of Beijing opera development. To this end, Tianjin commended and commended a group of talented young Peking Opera actors. Such as Li, Tong, and so on. Even Li Shifang, Zhang Junqiu, Mao Shilai and Song Dezhu became famous in Tianjin. ?
Tianjin has a strong team of professional Peking Opera actors. In 1950s, the main actors were Yang, Li, Ding Zhiyun,, Li and other famous actors who were quite influential in China. 1956, Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe was formally established, and all the above actors became the stars of the troupe. Everyone has his own representative works, such as Yang's Empty City Plan and Wen Zhaoguan. Li's Tielongshan and Sunroom; Ding Zhiyun's Spring and Autumn Competition; Zhang Shilin's Pulling Pulley and so on. ? Besides Beijing Opera Troupe, there are also Beijing Opera Troupes such as Jianhua, Jianxin, Rongxin and Tanggu. Famous actors include Zhao and Xiao Shengchun (Little Living Monkey). ?
From the late 1950s to the 1970s, due to political reasons, all Beijing Opera Troupes were dissolved except Beijing Opera Troupe. Only the "eight model operas" performed by Tianjin Peking Opera Troupe. It was not until the 1980s that Tianjin Peking Opera was reborn. ?
In order to cultivate Beijing opera seedlings, Tianjin Art School also has Beijing opera classes. ?
Learn from the teacher? In the past, there were four ways to learn from teachers: taking classes, being an apprentice, inviting door-to-door artists, and learning from fans.
When studying skills in regular classes, students must take a new name according to the ranking order of studying in regular classes, and take a word in the name as a symbol to indicate the characteristics of studying in regular classes or the order of learning skills. Most students are children of poor families, and the purpose of entering the class is to learn skills in order to get enough food and clothing. Anyone who enters the class must go through the admission procedures and set up a "closed book" (that is, a written contract signed by the parents of the students and the class). Most of the time spent studying art is 7 years, and some of them also help classes 1 or 2 years. The class is responsible for the students' food and clothing, but "natural disasters and man-made disasters, running over horses, throwing into rivers to find wells, hanging beams to kill themselves, each listening to his destiny, have nothing to do with the class community." If students escape or drop out of school, parents and mediators will also compensate the class for seven years' loss. When teaching in class, the way of "play" is adopted, that is, "no play, no work", which is a rule handed down by our ancestors. In the class, what students are most afraid of is "going through the motions" (that is, one person makes a mistake and everyone is beaten). Because he was kneeling on the bench when he was beaten, all the actors in the ordinary class claimed to be "born on the bench". Old artists often refer to students' seven-year study as "seven-year prison". ?
Being a master and apprentice is a personal communication skill performed by an actor at home. The time of studying art and the written proof of learning from the teacher are similar to those of studying in regular classes. Teachers are not responsible for birth, illness and death. During the study of art, you can be a teacher and beat and scold. The performance income belongs to the teacher. Besides studying art, I have to help my teacher with housework. If an apprentice wants to take a class and perform, he has to worship the teacher and ask him to "guide". Otherwise, his peers won't recognize him. ?
Please tutor in art. Because of paying teachers to teach drama, students generally don't suffer too much, and teachers teach more carefully. Generally, a well-off family in Liyuan can do it. This kind of learning, like the master's apprentice, requires borrowing Taiwan to practice, that is, performing exercises in the last class, and learning drama at home sooner or later. ? Ticket friends study art, and their family conditions are generally good. They can pay teachers to teach drama. If they make a living by singing operas (that is, "going to the sea"), they also need to worship "Taoist priests", otherwise they will be discriminated against by their peers. ?
I used to learn a program from my teacher. In particular, the ceremony of learning from famous actors is even more grand. Apprentices should have referees, that is, "referees." With the consent of the teacher, they can choose an auspicious day and formally become apprentices. ?
The ceremony is usually held in a restaurant, and the students are responsible for the required expenses. At the beginning of the ceremony, the students kowtowed to their ancestors first, and then kowtowed to the master, the referee, the uncle and the uncle respectively to show their recognition to the teacher. Goodbye, brothers. A banquet was held after the salute. After the banquet, the new disciples went home with the teacher, met the teacher's mother, brother and sister-in-law, and presented gifts one by one. The master also wants to give gifts to his disciples. This is called "borrowing clothes and bags". From then on, this disciple became the teacher's disciple. Traditionally, this mentoring relationship is like a father and son, that is, "a teacher for one day and a father for life". ?
Tea garden, theater? The early Peking Opera performance place in Tianjin was the tea garden, which appeared in the Qing Dynasty. The tea garden at that time was very primitive and simple. With the growing prosperity of Peking Opera in Tianjin, many well-equipped tea gardens appeared in the early years of Guangxu. Among them, Fangqing Tea Garden in Sock Hutong of Madong Road, Xiesheng Tea Garden in the west of Houjia North Exit, Xisheng Tea Garden in the south of Jinhua Bridge of Peking University and Jinsheng Tea Garden in Shengyuan Garden of North Gate are the four famous tea gardens in Jinmen.
During this period, some bureaucrats and wealthy businessman dajia also built theaters and stages at home to prepare for the concert. ?
In addition, in order to facilitate business and friendship, foreign businessmen in Tianjin spontaneously raised funds to build more than 20 clubs, many of which have theaters. Among them, the highest and most exquisite building is the Guangdong Guildhall Theater (now Nanmennei Street), which was built in the 33rd year of Guangxu reign (1907). This is the most complete classical theater in China. They are all wooden structures. The stage faces north and is lengthened. The audience can watch the performance from three sides. More than 100 tenons are piled up on the top of the stage, which spiral upwards to form a "cage" algae well, also known as "spiral echo cover", with excellent sound effect. The audience is divided into two floors, the balcony upstairs and the seats downstairs. The decoration of the whole theater is hollowed out by woodcarving, which is magnificent and spectacular. At that time, famous actors such as Mei Lanfang and Yang Xiaolou sang songs here. 1986 was turned into Tianjin Theatre Museum, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin.
Around 1930s, Tianjin Peking Opera was unprecedentedly prosperous, and almost all famous Peking Opera actors had performed in Tianjin. To this end, Tianjin has built several new theaters dedicated to Peking Opera. The famous He Chun Theatre (now Workers Theatre), Tianhuajing Theatre (fourth floor of Quanyechang), Beiyang Theatre (now Yan 'an Theatre) and China Grand Theatre. They established the system of advance tickets and reserved seats, which was an early formal theater in Tianjin. Among them, "China Grand Theatre" is the largest theater in Tianjin and one of the few theaters in China. The building has five floors up and down, and the audience is on the first three floors. It can accommodate more than 1800 people and has good audio-visual effect. It is an ideal place to perform Peking Opera. ?
Performing in the theater is generally of a business nature, and it is the main performance place for Peking Opera actors to survive. ?
Beijing opera is performed in a tea garden. Usually go to the opera, the audience, no money, only tea money. Tip the waiter looking for a seat. ?
Tang Hui Opera refers to a special performance organized by wealthy businessmen and gentry to entertain relatives and friends in private houses or restaurants, theaters and halls on festive days such as festivals, weddings, birthdays and children. It is also of a commercial nature. The actor was invited to perform in the hall, which was called "the outer string" by insiders. ?
There are two forms of hall meeting drama: "all-inclusive hall meeting" and "subcontracting hall meeting" This all-inclusive concert will be sung all day. From noon 12, singing until midnight 1, even until dawn. Drama is generally around 10, and most of them can reach 20; The subcontracting hall will only sing for half a day, either during the day or at night. Hall performances are often performed jointly by several troupes, or with a troupe as a team, and then other famous actors are invited to participate. This kind of joint performance is a gathering of famous actors, and the performance quality is generally higher than the daily business performance of the theater. To this end, some Beijing opera lovers often give their families "friends" or entrust relatives and friends to watch the drama in the hall. ?
Before the official performance of Peking Opera Theatre, as usual, actors dressed as three stars, Fu, Lu and Shou, congratulated the host family for "jumping to the top", and the host family gave money before the official performance as usual. In addition, during the period when one play is finished and another play has not been performed, the actors have to jump and increase their official positions. Every time they jump, the main family will get a reward, which has become a statute. Generally speaking, there are several "god worship plays" at concerts, commonly known as "hat plays". Such as Fengxiang, Fubao, Diankui and Jiayin. Then perform an "auspicious play" prepared for the specific content of the celebration hall. For example, a church meeting to commemorate birthdays was held, and many plays such as Four Blessings and Ma Gu Birthday Festival were staged. When the baby is given a full moon, the main family will perform if a boy is born, and perform if a girl is born, such as Guanyin, Golden Branch and Champion Seal. ?
When a hall play is performed, long strips of plays are pasted on the railings of the stage or the theater shed, one for each play. Generally, the words "XXX people give XXX actors a play" are written on it, which means that the play was given by relatives or rich gentlemen and starred by actors, which is not available in theater commercial performances, so "point play" has become a major feature of the hall meeting. ?
Among the troupe's income, the hall performance income is the biggest income besides the commercial performance of the theater. In the early years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, every church meeting earned at least a few dozen taels, or even one or two hundred taels. After the middle period of Guangxu, people who had many plays in a church could get hundreds of taels of silver. During the Republic of China, those who performed at a church meeting were awarded 1200 yuan. Due to the rich income of Tang Hui operas, many operas use the words "Fu", "Xi" and "Shou" for good luck. ?
In addition to the official theater price, there are some extra rewards, such as "Jump Officer" and "Tang Hui". During the performance, if you meet dignitaries, come to the theatre. No matter where you perform, you should pause and immediately dress up as an "official" and dance on the stage with a scroll of "one product at a time" in hand to show your welcome. The dignitaries present will be rewarded when they are happy. A church meeting can often jump a dozen times, or even dozens of times to add officials.
It can be seen that the reward is general. In addition, every time a good play is performed, a good speaker is introduced or a wonderful place is played, people in the audience often shout, "Take the money!" " "Then put a square table with a reward on it on the stage, and people come backstage to thank them and receive the reward. Money is calculated by shares, and the amount of each share is different. The better the plot and the angle, the more money. This award is called "Tang Hui", which means "Tang Huihui". Therefore, church money is often a very considerable income in an actor's personal life. ?
A large-scale church meeting in Tianjin was held in the 20th year of the Republic of China (193 1), and the wealthy businessman Meng Luoquan held a grand church meeting to celebrate his birthday. Famous actors such as Mei Lanfang, Cheng, Shang Xiaoyun, Xun Huisheng and Tan participated in the performance, with a total cost of 250,000 yuan. Volunteer drama is a form of performance in which actors perform their duties for free, commonly known as "benefit performance". The performance of voluntary drama began at the end of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. China's first voluntary drama performance was held in Tianjin, which was organized by Nanshan Hall, one of the Eight Good Halls in Tianjin, to raise money for the orphanage. Invited Tianjin famous actors to participate in the performance, volunteered to help out, and sang 10 days in the "Xiatianxian" tea garden. Except for the necessary expenses, all the income from the tickets was donated to the orphanage. At that time, the organization of voluntary drama was only occasional, and later it gradually formed an atmosphere. ?
Holding a voluntary drama performance is a kind of performance form with charity and rescue significance. Most of them are to help poor colleagues, or to relieve various disasters, and also to raise funds for charity in society. ?
Because Beijing Opera is the largest drama in Tianjin, with the greatest influence and many famous actors, there are often Peking Opera actors performing in every social fund-raising and relief activities. At the end of the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), there were four winter dramas in China Grand Theatre. Famous actors from Liyuan, such as Mei Lanfang, Gou Huisheng, Shang Xiaoyun, Ma, Tan, Xiao, Hou,, Ma Fulu, participated in the performance and became a much-told story.
Guild Hall Opera, also known as "Walking Stage Opera", is a performance performed by Beijing Opera Troupe for group activities such as ancestor worship in all walks of life. ?
In the past 360 lines, each line has its own granddaddy. People often hold sacrificial activities on their ancestors' birthdays (there is a fixed date for ancestor worship). On this day, employees from all walks of life get together and invite the troupe to perform "performances" to show celebration and entertainment. ?
Cooperative drama is a form of performance in which some famous actors temporarily perform on the same stage. Usually organized by a troupe or individual Beijing opera lovers, several famous actors are gathered to participate in the performance. This kind of cooperative drama is often performed by well-known actors on the same stage. The repertoire is novel and competitive, which can satisfy the audience's desire to watch famous actors sing art. For example, in recent years, "Mei School", "Cheng School" and "Autumn School" and other schools of Peking Opera belong to this category. Festival drama is a performance related to festival content and customs during the festival. For example, on the fifteenth day of the first month, Yingjie was dubbed "Lantern Festival Play". The most frequently performed drama is Madame Shang Yuan. February 2 is the day when the dragon looks up, and the dragon lantern should be played during the performance; On March 3rd, it is said that it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and most of the plays are Pan, and on May 5th, Duanyang Festival. There are popular sayings such as "Five Sentences to Kill Five Poisons", "Mixed Box", "Legend of the White Snake" and "Zhong Kui". In the July 7th myth, there is a story about a cowherd and a weaver girl matching immortals, and the drama of "Big Fairy Matching" is often staged. August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and plays such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon are staged. ?
Box office, fans? Box office refers to the amateur organization of Beijing opera lovers; Ticket friends refer to non-professional Peking Opera actors and musicians. They are loyal audiences and active participants in Beijing Opera. ?
Around the 20th year of Daoguang reign (1840), with the wide spread of Peking Opera in Tianjin, many Peking Opera lovers appeared in Tianjin, and they spontaneously organized themselves to practice and communicate in singing. Some amateur singers have also changed from ordinary singing skills to "going to the sea" (that is, professional Peking Opera actors) and become famous actors (that is, famous actors). For example, Liu Gansan, an ugly singer who is famous for playing Cai Dan opera in the "Thirteen Musts of Tongguang" in Qing Dynasty, was the first amateur in Tianjin. In addition, Sun Juxian, who is equally famous with Tan Xinpei and Wang Guifen, is known as the "Sun School" and his stage name is "Old Villager"; Known as the "Wang School", Tong, Ding Zhiyun, etc. They all became famous Peking Opera actors after they became opera fans. ?
Box office and ticket lovers occupy a certain position in the history of Tianjin drama.

The vast number of opera fans are keen on Beijing opera, which makes the box office and the amateur industry increasingly prosperous. ?
The earliest box office in Tianjin was Yayun Guofeng Society. Established before 1900, located in a single-family house in the north gate. Most of the fans are children of wealthy salt merchants, laughing and laughing at weddings every day. Many of them later became famous tickets for Beijing and Tianjin. For example, Tan School's authentic big salt merchants, Wang School's good at singing, and Liu Yongkui, who has enjoyed a long reputation for decades, are all skilled in bronze hammers. In addition, Yayun Guofeng Society also has two famous artists who accompanied Hu Qin at the box office: Chen Xiaohe and Li Peiqing, which are the best among the ticket lovers. Among them, Li Peiqing was hired by the famous Yu Shuyan to play the piano. After more than ten years of long-term cooperation, he became a famous pianist, and Tianjin fans are proud of it. ?
After the Republic of China, some family box offices appeared one after another. This kind of box office has few staff and simple organization. Its owner likes Beijing opera, so he regularly arranges some people who perform on the same stage to rehearse and asks the teacher to tell a play when necessary. Box office owners come from all walks of life, and there are two influential ones, namely Li Chengfu's family and Zhou Jia's box office. ?
