Thoughts on reading Qin opera

Do you mean Jia Pingwa's Shaanxi Opera?

Qinqiang Opera

Jia Pingwa once wrote about Qinqiang Opera: "My hometown is Dihua Street, my story is Qingfeng Street, Dihua Street is the moon, Qingfeng Street is the moon in the water, Dihua Street is the flower, and Qingfeng Street is the flower in the mirror. However, the flowers in the moonlight mirror in the water are still those who are sick and dying, eating, drinking and sleeping. This kind of dense fleeting narrative can be entered by rural people or people who have lived in the countryside. Can people in the city enter? " In the process of reading "Shaanxi Opera", I found the kind of touch and shock when reading "Ordinary World". I was moved by the vivid rural life described by the author. For the hardships of farmers' lives and their unremitting efforts for self-improvement, I saw the vast number of farmers who were struggling or struggling to change their status quo in the face of the times, making me a child from the countryside seem to be listening to their ancestors tell their history.

Shaanxi Opera is not about the Shaanxi Opera sung on the stage, but tells the relationship between farmers and the land, the living conditions of farmers in the new period, and interprets the 2-year history of rural areas in China. "Shaanxi Opera" was written in the tone of the first person "I" madman, and wrote many changes that I witnessed in Qingfeng Street, the relationship between farmers (village cadres and the masses, parents and children, villagers), local customs and so on. This novel clearly shows the rural policies, changes, farmers' changes and some inherent farmers' consciousness in the past decade or two through the contradictions and conflicts between the two generations of leadership groups in Qingfeng Street: the previous leadership headed by Xia Tianyi and the incumbent team headed by Xia Junting. Xia Tianyi is a character in Qingfeng Street, as the article said: "Xia Tianyi has been a gun of * * all his life, hitting wherever he refers. During the land reform, he took a ruler to divide the land, and in the commune, he smashed the boundary stone to recover the land. He didn't fall in the "four clean-ups", but he didn't get it in the Cultural Revolution. As soon as the country was reformed, he still gave the villagers land, set up brick kilns and demonstrated the cultivation of apples. Xia Tianyi became Mao Zedong of Qingfeng Street. He wanted to do whatever he wanted, and what he did became what he did. "However, he was so capable and confident that he even organized villagers to block and repair the national highway, and he also contradicted the county magistrate. As a result, he was punished and refused to accept it in his heart, so he dismounted from now on. He was desperate to block the repair of the national road, but it was precisely because of the repair of the national road that he destroyed 4 mu of cultivated land and more than 1 mu of apple forest. He was distressed. For farmers, land is the lifeblood. He left office, but wherever he went, everyone shouted "old director" one by one, and they all respected him. It can be seen that he was still very prestigious in these years. Xia Tianyi is a typical traditional peasant image. Seeing the land as life, I think that farmers should make a living by farming and enjoy the life with their backs to the loess. I don't understand those who leave the land barren and go out to work, so I have his "insistence on planting the land of Jundejia, which makes him feel distressed, even if I want to help others pay land tax and supply him with food, all people don't understand, but his purpose is simple: I don't want to see the fertile land barren, and he feels distressed; So with his life and death, he doesn't agree with Junting's proposal to build a farmer's market. Even if he is no longer in office, even if Junting is his nephew, he will sue him, and he will try his best to stop it, just because building a farmer's market will destroy many fruit trees and fields. Isn't this his lifeblood? Therefore, with his perseverance, he ruled out all the difficulties and obstacles in silting up the land, in order to silt up a few acres of fertile land for Qingfeng Street, where the cultivated land is decreasing. Qiligou became his dream and everything to him.

As a new decision-maker, Jun Ting is also a very courageous person, but he is a new farmer different from Xia Tianyi and has a relatively open-minded new leader. So there are many conflicts and contradictions between uncles and nephews. He urged people to build a farmer's market, and wanted to rely on the advantages of National Highway 312 to sell local native products and increase farmers' income. Xia Tianyi resolutely opposes this kind of behavior of occupying land. Junting wants to exchange Qiligou for a fish pond, because the fish pond may bring more benefits, but moving the ground is the lifeblood of Xia Tianyi. Therefore, the two uncles and nephews are constantly in conflict, so that they avoid each other. Junting embodies the image of farmers' leaders in the reform: he is ambitious and has goals, and wants to lead farmers to get rich actively through other means outside the land, so he actively advocates building markets and supports the construction of restaurants. Have courage, brains, dare to think and do, such as building a market and changing fish ponds, you will actively do what you have decided, and be good at wooing people who need it; There is a vicious, for their own purposes, they can do whatever it takes, but it is in this way that many people can be deterred and his work can go on, so they "borrowed" water from the reservoir in Qingfeng Street during the drought, so Qin An, who is different from him, was put down, so the notorious villain San Di can be used by him, and Shangshan and Jinlian are United with him ... He is a farmer, but he can be a farmer. This is an improvement.

farmers are kind and hardworking. However, for a long time, the countryside is the most backward place, and farmers are the poorest people. So there appeared in the article: because of poverty, the tragedy of dogs left drinking pesticides; The tragedy of Qin 'an, who was sick and had no money to be hospitalized, and could only be plastered as a fool; Causing death due to poverty, robbery and theft; The tragedy of many people who went out to work and died unexpectedly ... In order to change the status quo, a large number of people went to work in the city. The life in the city was envied by people, and the "Xia Feng people" who walked out of the countryside were looked up to ... Growing up in the countryside, they witnessed and experienced a lot, so I felt so familiar when I read Qin Opera, as if I had returned to the country where I was: many years ago, I gained. More and more people have left the land and gone out to work. Some of the land has been abandoned, some have been requisitioned, and the fertile land is getting less and less. Farming at home, continue to live a life of worrying about daily necessities, and the disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law mentioned in the book are even more common. There are many children, and the daughter-in-law quarrels about who to adopt, and the parents raise their children into city people. Parents may not even see their children when they die. There are certain reasons for this. And these are chilling and sad.

So I'm not in a good mood after reading this book. We see the author's shadow in Xia Feng. As a city man who came out of the countryside, he reflected everything in the countryside in detail. Just like some descriptions in the works, we feel that the descriptions are too unattractive, too straightforward, and the language is a bit explicit and vulgar. But this is from reality, reflecting reality. As a symbol of traditional culture, Shaanxi opera is gradually declining. Our rural civilization and rural culture are also being eroded by modern civilization. More and more people go into cities to work, more and more new things are brought back to the countryside, and the countryside has begun to modernize. But is it all good that traditional things are replaced by modernity? Why do you miss some feelings of childhood in an increasingly modern era? Oh, I can't tell!
