Question: What else do you know about Beijing Opera (added by the teacher)?

Beijing opera is the quintessence of our country, with a history of more than 200 years. It is the most representative of China's three or four hundred plays. It is a comprehensive art that integrates highly artistic sounds, movements, facial makeup, costumes and music. Known as "Oriental Opera", it is also the first performing art to enter the international stage and represent the Chinese nation, so it is the quintessence of China.

Question: Do you know where the source of Peking Opera is? Why is it called Peking Opera?

In the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, Huiban went to Beijing to celebrate Qianlong's 80th birthday. Later, they cooperated with Hubei artists, influenced each other, accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu opera and Shaanxi opera, absorbed some folk tunes, gradually formed a relatively complete artistic style and performance system, and evolved into Beijing opera. Because it was finally formed in Beijing, it was called Peking Opera.

Teacher: Peking Opera has its own unique modeling language in shaping characters. It divides people with different personalities, genders, ages and identities into four major businesses. Do you know which four kinds of business?

The sub-net (frame painting face) mainly does work, emphasizing physical strength. Jason Wu (Wu Hualian) focuses on martial arts. Introduce the meanings of different colors, such as a red face with praise, which means courage. Black face is neutral, representing a brave and wise man. Blue face and green face are also neutral, representing rebellious heroes. Yellow-faced woman and white face are derogatory terms, representing vicious and deceitful people. Gold and silver surfaces are mysterious, representing gods and demons.

sing

Teacher: Beijing opera combines singing, reading, doing and playing. In different plays and events, these four great efforts have their own emphases, but "singing" is an important means of expression in Beijing opera, which requires actors to have certain singing skills. Next, let's enjoy the excerpts of Susan Qi Jie in Yuchuntang, and then talk about the characteristics of each aria.

Qingyi singing features: falsetto, treble, bright voice, bel canto and soft voice.

Learn to sing in a low voice: "When Susan leaves Hongdong County, she will come to the street in front. It's so sad that I haven't spoken before. Gentlemen of the past, listen to me.

② reading

In an aria, singing is not used alone, but often combined with "reading" to complement each other.

Feeling-The dialogue between Liu Matchmaker and Picking up the Jade Bracelet makes students feel whether the singing of Beijing Opera is the same as the dialogue in daily life. The matchmaker is Bai Jing and Yujiao is Bai Yun.

Health: Discuss and answer.

Teacher: The vocals of Beijing Opera can naturally be divided into Bai Jing and Bai Yun. Bai Jing is basically Beijing dialect and Beijing flavor, while Bai Yun pays more attention to rhyme. It is a powerful intonation with a strong sense of rhythm and musicality. They are in harmony with the songs and connected with each other. It plays a very important role in promoting the plot, portraying characters and revealing ideas.

Performance experience: Imitate the dialogue between matchmaker Liu and Liu Yujiao in Picking up Jade Gong, and experience the beauty of Beijing and rhyme.

③ Do it.

Teacher: People often say that Peking Opera performance "does not sing, does not move and does not jump", which means that his performance actions are different from the natural behaviors and actions in daily life. Pay attention to finding the virtual with the real, for example, there is no door on the stage, but the actors let the audience see the existence of the door through their performances.

(1) Appreciate Passion Writing Spring and Autumn Annals

Introduce modern Peking Opera and appreciate the aria of "Gan Jiu writes the Spring and Autumn with blood".

4. Expand (play the accompaniment music of "Singing Facebook" and switch the Facebook screen synchronously)

Modern Peking Opera has brought another glorious period to traditional Peking Opera. In recent years, an innovative music genre based on Beijing Opera has attracted much attention. For example, singing Lianzi praises the superb art of Beijing Opera, A Night in Beijing by Xin Band, Bridge in Beijing by Liu Xiao and Speaking of Singing Lianzi, etc. Although it is lyrical, it still maintains the style of Beijing opera.

Choice and Appreciation of Music: The western opera "Prando" shows the story of the Tang Dynasty in China. I think one day, our Peking Opera can also interpret classic foreign themes, let Peking Opera art go to the world, let world art enter Peking Opera, let us inherit and develop Chinese Peking Opera, and let it become a lush evergreen tree, standing forever in the forest of world national art!
