Wine doesn't make people drunk, does it? Appreciation of the classic Peking Opera "Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady"

A few days ago, I enjoyed the classic Beijing opera "Drunk Imperial concubine" with great interest.

Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady, also known as Baihua Pavilion, originated from the Peking Opera repertoire of Drunken Yang Fei, a local drama of Huahua in Qianlong period. This play is carefully carved by Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, and is one of the classic representative plays of Mei School.

Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady mainly describes Yang Yuhuan's mentality of enjoying homesickness after drunkenness. In the play, Yang Yuhuan's drinking changed from covering her sleeves to drinking casually. With the change of appearance and movements, the actor showed the psychological process of the fallen imperial concubine from inner depression and self-restraint to self-control and drunkenness. Heavy dancing is as easy as weightlifting, such as cupping, lying fish, getting drunk and fan dancing. The actor's acting skills naturally stretch and flow in beautiful lines and melodies.

The outstanding feature of the play is that it can sing and dance well. Through beautiful song and dance movements, Yang Guifei's complex feelings of expectation, disappointment, loneliness and resentment are vividly displayed.

For example, Yang Guifei's three drinking actions are different: the first time she covered her glass with a fan and sipped slowly. This is because at first she was afraid of imperial secretary snickering, so she pretended to be reserved and concealed her inner pain. The second time, I drank quickly without a fan. Drinking wine into your heart is even more worrying. The third time is big mouth. Because I drank too much wine, my troubles, jealousy and emptiness poured out at this time.

Another time, three times? Cup? Action, also will Yang Guifei from drunk to drunk in detail. These song and dance movements embody Yang Guifei's arrogant and willful character core. At the same time, the singing of the whole drama is smooth and beautiful, which makes people fascinated. It's really the wine that makes people drunk.
