As the quintessence of the Chinese nation, why are there so few young people in the audience of Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera and Qin Opera nowadays?

First, the plot performances of ancient Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, and Qin Opera were too slow.

Secondly, young people have already learned and understood the story knowledge shown in these dramas when they were in school.

Third, since the advent of television, computers, and especially smartphones, a large number of attractive information videos such as news, songs, and dances have flooded into the eyes of the younger generation.

Fourth, the pace of life of modern people is accelerating, especially young people. They also want to earn money to support their families and work in careers. They have very short time after work and want to learn a lot of knowledge, like in ancient times. In dramas and operas, it takes a long time to pronounce a word in Qin opera, and a storyline takes half a day to speak. When can we fully grasp these knowledge and new things?

Therefore, most modern young people do not like to watch ancient dramas. I guess that even after a few years, when today's young people get older, few people will go to see ancient operas. Their thoughts are different from those of today's elderly people.

However, Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera and Qin Opera must be our national quintessence. We must not abandon it. We can treasure and preserve this knowledge, and we will take it out from time to time in the future to let our people Future generations will always know and remember that our ancestors have left us a wonderful cultural heritage!

How did you come to this conclusion? Did you see it in the theater or did you conduct regular social surveys? Is it the result of the investigation in that place?

I don’t know about other places and other types of dramas. But I know Peking Opera best in Kunming, Yunnan.

Nowadays, there are almost no people over 70 years old attending theaters in Kunming. I am an exception.

Because today’s elderly people almost all buy new houses and move away from the city center. It's far from the city, I can't drive, and it's inconvenient to move around. I don’t feel at ease with my children when I go out at night.

Traditional theater tickets were only one or two yuan, but now they range from tens to two to three hundred. Old people, rich or poor, are reluctant to spend so much money to go to the theater. Moreover, theater tickets in previous years were in the hundreds or even thousands, and many people lost interest as soon as they heard about it. The result is that I haven't gone to the theater for several years to decades, and now I don't even know if the ticket prices have dropped.

There are also televisions and later computers and mobile phones. Playing with mobile phones, computers, and watching TV are low-cost and convenient, which greatly enriches people's cultural life. Almost everyone has no motivation to watch the show!

So what I saw in the theater were these types of people.

First, there are people who really like theater, and most of them are young people.

The second is the staff of the cultural authorities and their families. These people never buy tickets to watch the theater, and only wait for the receipt.

The third is people with good economic conditions who are tired of playing other things and want to explore the charm of drama.

So now most of the theatergoers are young people!

As for listening to a radio, unless you like it very much and know how to play. Most people are not interested at all. Because there are no subtitles and no visual enjoyment, few young people listen to it. Moreover, young people are also busy and have no time to listen. So of course there are more elderly people listening to the show!

So now most of the people who go to the theater to watch movies are young people. Most of the people who listen to the opera on the radio are elderly!

Some people also watch dramas on TV. Since they are unable to communicate on and off stage, they find it boring after watching too much. When watching on a mobile phone or computer, the screen is small and the sound quality is worse than in person. So I can’t appreciate the charm of drama! So not many people use their mobile phones and computers to watch movies!

The infiltration of Western culture has occupied the appreciation psychology of the younger generation in China. The formulas, singing, chanting, and beating of traditional Chinese opera have become a unique cultural landscape for the elderly audience.

My answer: I don’t understand if I don’t have any culture! If the questioner was educated, he would not ask such an ignorant question.

In today's society, young people are indifferent to opera in order to make money to support their families [prayer][prayer]

Henan Yu opera is full of spirit. In the hard times, when people didn't have enough food to eat, they were hungry and sang songs to make them hungry; now people have food to eat and when they are full, they go to the park, the hospital, and the river for a walk, and sing songs to help digestion; usually , it’s nothing, singing is entertainment, it’s just a thing, I just want to make myself have such an endless energy.

Seeing everyone vigorously discussing the future and destiny of Henan Opera online, I was moved by everyone’s sense of mission and crisis. I have read many netizens’ insights and admire them very much.

However, many netizens have a positive and optimistic attitude towards the future of Henan Opera, and I completely agree! There are facts to prove it:

Because Henan has a large population base of 130 million people, which is the largest audience base; many surrounding provinces in Henan have municipal-level Henan Opera groups. Why? Because I am fascinated by Henan Opera, Henan Opera is so beautiful; as far as I know, many construction troupes in Xinjiang have a large number of Henan Opera audiences, and there are even Henan Opera groups that are really working hard; Taiwan Treasure Island also has a large number of Henan Opera fans, singing When I get up, I think of Henan and the Central Plains, "Wang Shibei sets the Central Plains Day, don't forget to tell Nai Weng during family sacrifices!" There are a large number of audiences even overseas!

Henan opera never forgets its original intention and innovates. Judging from my age, new works appear almost every year, rather than "resting on one's laurels" and "resting on one's laurels." Li Shujian, Jia Wenlong, Wang Quanzhen and many other famous artists have been creating works even though they were pure and ugly at the end of their lives.

There are only a few pieces in Peking Opera, and it is too much to sing during festivals. Someone has done statistics and found that there are only a few famous jokes that are well-known to people. These few paragraphs are used in the Spring Festival Gala and various festivals, and are sung by several famous people. This year's task is completed. Although the words are harsh, Peking Opera has indeed not spread to the public.

Henan Opera does not have to worry about being passed on by future generations. I am afraid that the biggest worry about Henan Opera is that there are too many descendants and too few scripts, and there is not enough script for newcomers to perform.

The veteran of Henan Opera is still active. Centenarian Ma Jinfeng is still active on the stage; she still teaches apprentices, leads a group of disciples, and works hard and dedicated to promote Ma School art. What she said on New Year's Day in 2021 was "keeping integrity and innovating", which shows all the "youthful ambitions" of the old man.

Many famous Henan opera masters are still working hard on stage or backstage in Liyuan even in their old age. The old couple "Shuan Bao" and "Yinhuan Ma" in "Chaoyanggou" are 90 years old, but they still teach and are busy in front of and behind the scenes.

Li Shujian, chairman of the Henan Drama Association, is so "smart" that he calculated an account for the TV audience and asked why he wanted to use the Internet platform to promote Henan opera: "If I sing one performance every day , the worst thing is that 2,000 viewers are listening; but if you look at it from the Internet, there are more than 10 million viewers every day? If you stick to it, how many people will benefit! ”

As far as I know, Thirty to fifty famous artists have already opened Douyin, and a large number of fans are enjoying art and passing on art while enjoying it.

Henan famous artists all have their own fan base. Almost every famous artist has held special singing events for fans across the country, and there may be other interactive activities.

Enter university, enter elementary school. I have seen many news reports that famous Henan opera artists have gone deep into the community, entered campuses, and entered classrooms to implement the spirit of "starting from children" in art.

A few words and a few hums, it’s true that I am from Henan!

It is said that the annual advertising fee is very large, which can be seen from this. "Liyuan Spring" has been held for more than 1,000 times, breaking the Guinness record, and is constantly setting new records.

Liyuanchun is not only novel in form, but also doing basic work to promote the knowledge of Henan Opera. Being able to achieve this point is enough to show that Henan Opera is not just about singing, but also "teaching". This shows that Henan The thirst for Henan opera among audiences across the country is constantly deepening.

Liyuan Chun went abroad! You wouldn't have thought of this. Liyuan Chun is bringing together Chinese and foreign people from all over the world to focus on the art of the Central Plains, and let this Henan opera enlighten their artistic cells.

In addition to the written language, China’s thousands of years of cultural inheritance has had such a profound and wide influence that ordinary people cannot imagine. The emergence of this art form originated from the needs of all classes for cultural life. To put it elegantly, it is called spiritual life, and it is also called misguided activities. Ultimately, it created a reputation for literature and art for the working people.

Indeed, before the birth of modern contemporary film and television, people at the bottom could only enrich their spiritual world through drama and art. Reading and literacy were only the exclusive domain of a few wealthy families. Most people can only live in the soil and be used by others throughout their lives. The most intuitive form of drama appears, which is a kind of spiritual compensation for boring work. The most important thing is that the content of the drama comes from life, is rich in philosophy, connects the past and the future, and has positive-oriented parts that resonate with the kind hearts of kind people. It can promote social harmony and stability and clarify the bottom line of life and work. Word of mouth is an effective and simplified popularization and transmission of culture.

The progress of human material civilization and the birth of video production have suddenly pushed the ancient Wutai performing art to a new climax. While people happily accept this new thing, the new generation no longer feels as deeply about traditional dramatic art as their ancestors did. In addition, the humanized and open nature of modern performing arts can stimulate people's senses, be more interactive, and have unrestricted costumes. These advantages are unmatched by drama. Drama is different. The story gradually unfolds with ups and downs. The ending of the story is time-consuming and makes people anxious. The singing form is fixed and not as changeable as music. In short, the younger generation has moved away from drama and has the freedom to choose from many artistic genres. , also determines that drama cannot have an advantage in the lives of generations of young people. They are the imprints of the youth of old men and women. They have accompanied the passionate years. Each generation has the imprint of the times. I hope that although this ancient art is no longer glorious, it should continue to be carried forward as a treasure of Chinese culture!

Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Qin Opera and other local operas, as cultural treasures of the Chinese nation, are products of the development of culture and art in a specific historical period and have distinctive characteristics of the times. There are many reasons why the current appreciation group has degenerated to almost only the elderly:

1. Drama has been seriously impacted by modern culture and art and foreign culture and art, and the role of the protagonist has been gradually replaced. . For example, foreign dramas, operas, dance dramas and other arts have also entered the elegant hall of Chinese literature and art, and modern cultural and artistic forms such as pop songs, TV series, movies, sketches, and various dances are highly sought after by people.

2. The content of dramatic art seriously lacks innovation. The main content still reflects the old times of feudal society, which is outdated, boring and unattractive.

3. Cultural education does not pay attention to drama, resulting in the lack of existing drama talents and the lack of successors in drama art. From kindergarten to high school, there is no place for drama in Juche’s cultural education. Young people don't understand it at all.

4. With the development of the times, drama has been seriously out of touch with people's real life interests, and is no longer an art form that is popular, easy to learn and understand. Instead, its elegance has become rustic, and its profound artistry has become a kind of aloofness and obscurity.

Only by starting with children, paying attention to the quintessence of our country, exploring its literary and artistic value, promoting its artistic power, constantly transforming and innovating, and advancing with the times can we make it a new era again. Protagonist of literature and art.

I loved watching it when I was a kid, because I didn’t have much to watch, and now there is so much entertainment. When I watched the play, I thought the pace was too slow. Of course, listen to some cheerful music to feel better.

Young people, when they were young, they had a lot of pressure to study, and now they have a lot of work pressure, so why don’t they have time to watch slow-paced dramas? It’s a family tradition. [呲呲]

Because they have never been separated from the quintessence of the country, no one has been in contact with the quintessence of the country since then
