Brief introduction to drama) [drama; Play used to refer to traditional operas in China, and later it was used as a general term for traditional operas, dramas, operas, ballets and poetic dramas in China.

Greek drama refers to the stage performance art that achieves narrative purpose in the form of language, action, dance, music and puppet. The concept of drama in literature refers to the script created for drama performance, that is, the script.

There are various forms of theatrical performances, including drama, opera, ballet, musical, puppet show and so on. A comprehensive art with specific significance.

There are two meanings: in a narrow sense, it refers to a form of stage performance that started with ancient Greek tragedies and comedies, first developed in European countries, and then became popular all over the world. Drama in English and drama in China. Broadly speaking, it also includes the traditional stage performances of some countries and nationalities in the East, such as China's operas, Japanese kabuki, Indian classical dramas, and Korean singing operas.

The essence of drama In the 4th century BC, Aristotle expressed his understanding of the essence of drama in Poetics. He believes that all art is imitation, and drama is imitation of human behavior.

Two centuries later, India's first drama theory work, Dance Theory, also pointed out: "Drama is imitation." /kloc-after the 0/9th century, there have been different views on the nature of drama, mainly including audience, conflict, upheaval, situation and laboratory.

The audience said: identifying with the audience is a necessary condition and the essence of drama. French drama theorist F.

Sasai is the representative of this concept. He asserted that no matter what kind of drama works, it is for the audience. "Without the audience, there would be no drama", so all the organs of drama must adapt to the audience's appreciation.

Conflict theory: represented by the French drama theorist Brent. At the end of 19, Bruntel pointed out that the stage is the place where people's conscious will is exerted, and the exertion of characters' conscious will is bound to encounter obstacles, and the subject must fight against them in order to overcome them, which constitutes a "will conflict", and the essence of drama lies in this.

American drama theorist J.H.

Lawson attributed the essence of drama to "social conflict in which consciousness and will play a role". He believes that because drama deals with social relations, people's conscious will is bound to be restricted by social inevitability, so the real drama conflict must be social conflict.

This concept can be expressed in one sentence: "There is no drama without conflict." Radical change theory: British drama theorist W.

Archer denied Brentre's "conflict" theory. He compared the novel with the drama, and thought that the novel was a "gradual" art, the drama was a "crisis" art, and the drama dealt with the drastic changes of people's fate and environment, which was the essence of the drama. Situation and laboratory theory: as early as18th century, French philosopher D.

Diderot once regarded "situation" as the basis of dramatic works. When Hegel talked about the characteristics of drama, he also linked "situation" with "conflict" and emphasized the ontological significance of situation.

J. existentialist philosopher and playwright. -P .

Sartre called his script "situational drama" and described the object of the drama as people's choice behavior in the situation. B.

Brecht regards drama as a scientific method and thinks that drama is a laboratory to test human behavior in a specific situation. This concept also defines the essence of drama from a specific angle.

The origin of drama 1. There are two kinds of music and dance theories: (1) the palace music and dance theory, which is about the miscellaneous knowledge of Lushuige written by Nalan Xingde in the Qing Dynasty: "When the clouds were full on the beam, it was an old man who talked about the changes of the immortals in the western regions, and the actors really started here." According to the fact that ancient music and dance were mostly dressed up with characters, Liu thought in the original play that "the dramatist originated from ancient music dancers ... and was similar to later operas".

In the book Primitive Music, Dance and Drama in China, the dramatic factors of primitive music and dance are often systematically investigated, and it is considered that "simple music and dance in primitive society is the predecessor of perfect drama". Zhou's A Long History of China's Plays traces the earliest source of China's plays to "Zhou Qin's Music and Dance".

(2) According to the ancient song and dance theory, the first sentence of A General History of China Opera edited by Zhang Geng and Guo Hancheng said: "The origin of China opera can be traced back to the song and dance of primitive times." We know that all art originates from labor, and China's songs and dances are no exception.

Book classics. Shundian said, "Give a stone a blow and all animals will dance."

The so-called animal dance is not as mysterious as later Confucianism. It is said that even animals came to worship and dance when saints were alive. This kind of dance is played by knocking on stones or knocking on stones with hands. There were no drums at that time, so it was primitive. It was only later that drums appeared, and the so-called "drum dance" went further.

This dance may be a primitive religious ceremony before going hunting, or it may be a celebration ceremony after returning from hunting. The article "Ancient Music" said: "Emperor Yao made life as a pleasure, and the quality was the sound of mountains and valleys. He sang for it, drummed with his skin, like the sound of jade, making all animals dance.

"This is a legend about ancient music and dance during the Warring States period. Through the description of this song and dance, we can see a scene of a primitive hunter hunting in the mountains: "While whistling, all kinds of pottery tools threatened the beast, so the beast ran away like a wolf and was finally arrested." The primitive artist "Zhi" (actually not one person, but all people at that time) created hunting dance according to the reality of life. At this time, the so-called "beast"

Of course, at this time, the scenes are artistic, and the music and dance are rhythmic. This kind of dance has a strong sense of ceremony. It is to call the patron saint or ancestor of the clan to pray for this harvest, or to thank the gods when they come back from hunting. But no matter what ceremony, no matter how heavy the primitive religious cloak is, its practical significance is a kind of exercise and exercise for labor, which not only exercises the proficiency of hunters, but also cultivates young hunters.

In Shundian, there is a record of Shoukui's "Electric Contract".

Hakka people are very hospitable, especially Meizhou, the world's guest capital! Hakka tradition

As the descendants of the ancient Central Plains people, Hakkas have inherited the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation, which can be summarized as diligence, hospitality, respect for teachers and education, and patriotism and love for their hometown. Hakka people moved from the Central Plains to Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Because the plain area has been occupied by aborigines, they can only settle in barren mountainous areas, so life is hard and they must struggle. Hakka people's pioneering spirit and self-control ability are also outstanding. Hakka women, in particular, are famous all over the world for their diligence and virtue, excellent farm work and housework, and particularly strong family values, and are known as "iron men"; As immigrants, the early Hakkas lived in sparsely populated, backward and remote mountainous areas, and their psychological needs for interpersonal communication and solidarity were particularly strong. Although their life is hard, they have developed a cultural tradition of hospitality. Hakka ancestors "traveled south" from the Central Plains, mostly from "scholarly families", so they had a high cultural quality and always attached importance to cultural education. Among them, Meizhou has the most outstanding performance and is known as the "hometown of culture".

Hakka dialect

Hakka dialect is a dialect centered on Meixian dialect. Mainly distributed in eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong, about 20 counties and cities in the province belong to Hakka dialect areas. It is based on Meixian dialect, because Meixian dialect has great influence and clear language. Hakka dialect is also a Chinese dialect formed in ethnic migration. Before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the ancestors of Hakkas lived in the Central Plains. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, various wars and natural disasters occurred in the Central Plains, and Hakka ancestors had to move south. Some moved to Hubei, Hunan and other places, and then left the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the late Tang Dynasty, and some went further south to Jiangxi and Fujian. By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song and Yuan Dynasties were at war, and the world was in chaos. Hakka ancestors further migrated to Guangdong and gradually settled in eastern Guangdong. In the Song Dynasty, the household registration was divided into the main account and the customer, and the latter was called the customer. In the process of immigration, because he stayed in Hunan and Hubei for nearly 400 years, he did not enter Guangdong until the Tang and Song Dynasties, so his dialect was closer to Hunan and Hubei. Among the four major dialects in Guangdong, it is also the smallest difference from Mandarin. Hakka dialect has six tones, divided into yin and yang, regardless of the upper and lower, and retains six ancient vowels. There is a great difference in pronunciation between written and spoken language. In addition, Hakka ancestors originally used northern dialects, but after living in Guangdong, they gradually disappeared under the influence of different Cantonese dialects and geographical and historical environments.
