Chinese opera
1.
Chinese opera is a kind of comprehensive stage art style. It is characterized by the aggregation of numerous art forms in a single standard, reflecting their individual personalities in a common nature. These forms mainly include: poetry, music, dance. Poetry refers to its literature, music to its musical accompaniment, and dance to its performance. In addition include Stage art Clothing, makeup and so on. And these artistic factors in the opera for one purpose, that is, to play the story; They all follow one principle: beauty.
2.
The characteristics of Chinese opera can be summed up in a word, "the story is also played with song and dance" (Wang Guowei, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty). Chinese opera and drama, both belong to drama, which use dialogue and action to express a certain length of story plot through actors playing characters. The difference is that opera is the use of musical dialogue and dance movements to express real life, that is, the means of singing and dancing. It is also known as "sing, read, do and hit".
3.
The performance of life in Chinese opera uses a kind of" Take the meaning rather than the form "The way, such as Chinese painting Freehand landscape Use vertical and horizontal strokes to reflect all the good things in life. Therefore, on the opera stage, there are Guan Yu with a red face and Cao Cao with a white face; With a long song cry, long sleeves good dance; There are no flowers and trees of spring, no rivers of waves.
4.
As a stage art, Chinese opera needs to face the contradiction between the narrow stage and the broad life. Chinese opera does not use the principle of "three unities" to squeeze life for expression. But the use of virtual means to create flexible time and space, and with the help of the actor's vivid performance and the audience's imagination and understanding, to complete the painting of the vast world. Therefore, opera can create the illusion of night under bright lights, and can ride a horse and boat on an empty stage.
