People come and go in the teahouse, bringing together all kinds of characters, from the main to the secondary, with a variety of religions. This big teahouse has become a small society. The author vividly described the scene with a strong local color. Lao She showed the charm of old Peiping to the fullest, and his characters were distinct, spanning half a century, showing the changes of three generations of teahouses after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the late Qing Dynasty, the early years of the Republic of China and the eve of the collapse of political power. In addition, I think the success of Teahouse mainly lies in language. The lines in Teahouse are well designed, and the characters are active, full of personality, concise and meaningful.

Drama itself is a variety, an art in which actors play roles and perform plots and realistic situations in public. On this basis, Lao She's Teahouse has a strong spirit of social criticism. Usually, in order to make drama conflict, many writers adopt "three unifications", but Lao She broke the stereotype and achieved the same success. Lao She used his familiar old Beijing past to draw a social drama composed of past events and street life pictures.

Teahouse is also an unprecedented example of Chinese drama.

Today, it is the fourth time to go to Book City. I took the mineral water and stepped on the elevator of the book city. When I go to the bookcase, I will see if there are any good books. Suddenly, I saw a book and pulled it out of the pile. This book is called Teahouse. The writer is Lao She, a modern novelist in China. Lao She was born in a poor family in Beijing, and his works are deeply loved by readers. The story tells that Wang Lifa, the owner of the teahouse, is bent on making the teahouse prosperous. For this reason, he keeps socializing, but the cruel reality makes him ridiculed every time. Eventually swallowed up by a ruthless society. Qin, who frequented teahouses, went from ambitious industrial salvation to bankruptcy; Chang Yesi, the son of the generous Eight Banners, embarked on the road of self-reliance after the demise of the Qing Dynasty. In the era when the Qing Dynasty was about to perish, Yutai Teahouse in Beijing was still a scene of "prosperity": caged birds, fortune-telling, selling antiques and jade articles, and playing cricket. Thirty years later, Wang Zhanggui is still desperately supporting the teahouse. Japan surrendered, but American imperialism plunged the people into the disaster of civil war. Wang Lifa is desperate. At this time, it happened that two friends who had made friends fifty years ago came. One is Master Chang, a gentleman who was once arrested by the Qing court, and the other is Master Qin, who completely collapsed after half his career. The three old people scattered the paper money they found all over the floor, crying and laughing sadly. In the end, Wang Lifa was left alone. He picked up his belt, went into the inner room, looked up at the roof, and looked for a place where he could safely end his life.

Master Chang's failure is not only a question of social responsibility, but also because his philosophy of life is out of date. At this point, he and Wang Lifa, Qin and others finally fell into the same fate. The classic drama Teahouse is classic because the characters it describes are memorable.

This play shows the rise and fall of the country by talking to people in Zhongyutai Teahouse in Beijing. From the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 to the eve of the liberation war, the changes of the times turned every little thing that happened in the teahouse into a historical drama, and the protagonist of this historical drama was of course Wang Lifa, the shopkeeper of the teahouse. Wang Lifa is a shrewd and upright man. He came out to take care of his father's business when he was only twenty years old. He was born in an era of chaos and war, and finally hanged himself because he couldn't stand the forced occupation of the teahouse he had run for decades. Yes, in the words of the play, it was a day when a person "piled up money for foreigners", and many people became traitors, especially the two generations of villains in the play-pockmarked Liu and pockmarked Xiao Liu.

Let's start with pockmarked Liu. He forgot the profit and engaged in improper matchmaking business. Whether the two sides like it or not, as long as there is money to make, he will do it and sometimes even sell other people's children. In the first act, he actually sold Kang, the daughter of a poor farmer, to a eunuch for twelve taels of silver.

And pockmarked Liu's son, pockmarked Liu? Instead of "turning over a new leaf", he "carried forward" and established Huahua United Company to provide waitresses for Americans. He even managed to occupy Yutai Teahouse in Wang Zhanggui and turned it into a place to "get a lot of information and seize the * * * production party".

How many people are so cynical now? Some businesses, in order to reap huge profits, cheat consumers by cutting corners, even at the expense of consumers' lives!

Teahouse is based on a teahouse in Beijing. In fact, a big teahouse is a small society. It shows the life scenes and historical trends of three different times: the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 in the late Qing Dynasty, the scuffle between northern warlords in the early Republic of China, and the collapse of the national government in the mainland. Teahouse is a drama creation by Lao She Xiu. As Mr. Cao Yu said, it is an unprecedented model of Chinese drama. The characters portrayed by Mr. Lao She in Teahouse are very distinctive. Each different character represented different groups of different occupations and classes in the society at that time. There seem to be dozens of appearances, but none of them are repeated. Characters with different life experiences and distinct personalities, such as Chang and Song, are vividly on the paper. You only need to watch it once, and you can leave a deep impression on the personality characteristics of various characters in your mind. For example, Wang Zhanggui in Yutai Teahouse is defined as smart, selfish and not bad-hearted. Looking at the full text, in my eyes, as a shopkeeper, he is very tactful and weak, and he puts in a good word for money when he is in trouble. However, in the end, he couldn't bear to see the teahouse occupied by officials and villains and silently committed suicide in the backyard. This plot seems unexpected, but when you think about it carefully, it is reasonable and sad. Such a shopkeeper who took the golden mean chose an extreme way to end his life. Through a character, Mr. Lao She reflected the sorrow of an era with the strong contrast of his behavior and personality, and expressed the author's satire and dissatisfaction with the social atmosphere at that time.

There are some languages in Teahouse that I particularly like. Silly Yang's words are a clever opening way. I've never heard of cherishing. I found that people in China and Americans speak in very different ways, very different! China people are more reserved; They often use polite expressions and euphemisms, which is the most difficult place to learn Chinese! In the teahouse, I saw a true story of China. The joke is that in the second act, two sworn brothers want to marry a wife, but they are embarrassed to tell Pockmarked Liu their strange demands. Of course, they didn't say it directly. Instead, they said, "the friendship between these two people is wearing a pair of pants ... no one laughs at our friendship." Pockmarked Liu agreed, "No one laughs." They said, "So you say the friendship between these three people will not be laughed at?" I also like pockmarked Liu's reaction. "It is generally said that this young couple, young couple, who has heard of mistress?" What a subtle Chinese meaning!

In Teahouse, we can see Lao She's demeanor as a master of language everywhere. In Teahouse, more than a dozen characters take turns on stage, but they all have three-dimensional images and distinctive personalities, from which we can see that their writing language is personalized, modern and tailored for people. Lao She used laughter to write sadness, harmony to unite Zhuang, and humorous language to satirize the grotesque ugly people in the three eras. The spoken language of Jingweier is also a major feature of this drama, which injects life into the characters who travel through the teahouse.
