On Kong Yiji, a Yue Opera.

The big dipper invited the bright moon to get drunk and hazy.

Nanshan enjoys the cool breeze, elegant poetry and charm.

-Kong Yiji is the title of Xianheng Hotel.

Because it is difficult to download the full version of Kong Yiji on the Internet, I have not actually seen the whole play, but only enjoyed a few clips, so it is inevitable that my comments on the play will be partial. But I think this script is really a new development of Yue Opera. The play is based on Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji, but it has great innovation. As far as the script is concerned, he combines many novels of Lu Xun, such as the novel Medicine. When Lao Shuan asked whether Kong Yiji people's blood could cure diseases, Kong Yiji replied: "Human blood? Oh, the essence of human blood, the essence of heaven and earth. Depend on parents, the meridians of luck. Nourishing essence with essence and nourishing blood with blood is the essence of Huangdi Neijing and the secret of Taoist cultivation. " Many details written by Mr. Lu Xun reflecting the spectator mentality of the public at that time were added to the script, and many non-mass contents of the social revolution at that time were also added. So as far as the script is concerned, it can be said to be a feast of Lu Xun's novels. Secondly, the character Kong Yiji has been processed or added with many new meanings. Kong Yiji has both a brilliant side and a pedantic and poor side. For example, in this article, he made a couplet. Personally, I feel very talented, but there is no horizontal approval, so the shopkeeper asked Kong Yiji to make up the horizontal approval. Because the couplet wrote Nanshan Beidou, the requirements for horizontal approval are higher. The couplets are about poetry and wine. Kong Yiji said, "It's not difficult. This horizontal batch should be suitable for both near and far, the same in ancient and modern times, looking up at the size of the universe and looking down at the number of products ... Uncle, I have it! " So I raised my eyebrows and lowered my head to write down the four big words "good things"! The gray beard praised on the spot: "What delicious food! Classics originated from the Book of Changes, and salty enjoyment can be traced back to 3,000 years ago! Come on, grandpa is willing to do this bowl of wine with you! " Moreover, the poem is a masterpiece. The poem says: "The wine opened a bottle of nostalgia and I was drunk for ten years. Pengchuang walked out of Confucius, and the blue shirt inspired Pengcheng. In three exams, I saw the landscape and enjoyed the spring breeze. "And Kong Yiji gave all the money she got to begging women, which also reflected Kong Yiji's generosity. Of course, the works still reflect some drawbacks of the imperial examination system and depict the pedantic image of scholars shaped by the imperial examination system. These parts are almost consistent with the scripts of Lu Xun's novels, such as introducing four ways to write fennel words in hotels. The work further shows Kong Yiji's kindness, that is, the widow mentioned above was later killed by the wicked, and Kong Yiji skillfully rescued her from poverty. They also fell in love, but Kong Yiji refused on the grounds that "a gentleman does not take advantage of the danger of others". The following is their conversation: "I remember your first name and surname lived in the ancestral hall", "I don't ask where your first name and surname came from", "I will never forget your voice" and "I will leave your voice and your moon on the East Wall". The work also shaped the widow into a later heroine and spread new ideas: "China, who was drunk, could never wake up after being shot abroad;" The history of poetry has become ink. Therefore, in this sense, Kong Yiji, a Yue opera, enriches the characters' images and personalities, which are expressed in the form of drama. In a sense, it is a reinterpretation of the works by contemporary people. Third, the shapes and patterns of characters are also carved. Mao Jian's act of beating Kong Yiji is very meaningful in itself, which is quite similar to the reform of Yue Opera in that year. Mao's image of Kong Yiji showed strong differences before the imperial examination and after the abolition of the imperial examination. Moreover, I think Mao Tao Wei sang Kong Yiji's hopeless mood when he heard the news of abolishing the imperial examination: "The dream broke Qingyun Road, Wei Zixing fell, and the emperor's hometown could not be expected. The abolition of the imperial examination was like a bolt from the blue, and the news of this peerless change to the end of the world fell on my trip to Longmen." Judging from this plot, our concern may not be the victory of the social system, but the infinite pity for the tragic fate of the corporal of social change, and we can't help but make ourselves enter its role. The elegance and freshness of screen design is one of the most distinctive advantages of Yue Opera. The art of drama poetically describes the characteristics of the water town, which is itself a landscape. Personally, I prefer classical Yue Opera, but it is difficult to accept modern Yue Opera, just as I can't accept "Mercedes-Benz, Audi" in Chinese painting, which is very contradictory. However, I think the opera Kong Yiji still embodies the charm of opera. Finally, let's talk about Mao's singing. I prefer the raw role of Yue Opera, the Dan role of Kunqu Opera, and the Yin School, Fan School and Xu School of Yue Opera. Although Mao is a disciple of Yin School, I think she is still very talented and rebellious. At least she made some changes according to the characteristics of her voice. I think Mao's singing method is still relatively divorced from the Yin school, with its own characteristics, relatively rigid and free and easy. Of course, I think Yin Pai's singing skills are very attractive, especially, Wang Qing is my favorite actor. In addition, the drama also has the factor of Shao Opera, a form of male and female co-performance in Yue Opera. Because I'm not a professional critic of Chinese opera, I just mention it by the way. In a word, I think the image of Kong Yiji played by Mao is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The whole play is of great literary and social significance.
