The custom in old Beijing was generally to do good things in the morning, and rarely in the afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Including marriage, according to the old Beijing custom, this has to be married in the morning, and the second marriage in the afternoon.

Of course, this is the custom of old Beijing, and now many young people don't care about this anymore, plus the large number of foreigners, this old custom is rarely seen.

However, for these people who do traditional business, they still care about this old custom, and it is also auspicious.

Including the direction of the stage, it can't be due east and west, this is the direction of the white tiger, the big murderer, there will be an accident, this is all old and exquisite, it is not impossible to say that it is feudal superstition, but they also still care about this, it can be regarded as one more thing than one less thing, so the performance stage that He Xiangdong connects must go north and south.

In the past, when the new garden was about to open, there would be a ceremony to break the stage the night before, and this was the case for all gardens, including the troupe and the cross talk garden.

The night before, at twelve o'clock in the night, you don't have to have the whole band in the room, you can have drummers or two or three people who do the work.

Then find a few singers and martial artists, pretend to be spirit officials, heavenly soldiers and generals, and then find an actor to pretend to be a hanged ghost.

Everything is ready, as soon as the drummer beats the drum, the heavenly soldiers and generals will take the guy and start chasing and killing the hanged ghost. The hanged ghost has to run all over the front and backstage, upstairs and downstairs, including the audience.

The meaning is also obvious, this is to use this form to drive away and deter the dirt in the garden, so that they will not come to cause trouble after the garden opens.

When the hanged man had run all over the garden, when he reached the back door, he opened the door, pushed the hanged man out of the door, and closed the door again.

Then get a big white rooster, screw off the head of the chicken, carry the chicken from top to bottom and sprinkle the garden with chicken blood, and the garden will be very auspicious from then on.

This is called breaking the stage.

Of course, these actors who are busy breaking the stage, the owner of the garden wants to give people red envelopes, and they can't let people work in vain.

Especially the actor who plays the hanged ghost, he has to give an extra red envelope, because no one wants to do this, and he thinks it's unlucky.

Sometimes artists take this job because they can't do it. Including Mr. Ma Sanli, he wrote in his memoirs in his later years, he said that he did the work of breaking the stage and hanging ghosts when he was young, and he was in urgent need of money at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have done this.

He said that as soon as he was pushed out of the back door, the moment he went out, he felt a cold wind blowing on him, and he couldn't help but shiver when he was wearing a very thick dress.

After returning home, the high fever did not go away, and he fell seriously ill.

There may be a reasonable explanation in medicine, but there are many such things, including such legends, so no one wants to take on this kind of errand.

As for the contemporary era, this kind of old feudalism is no one to engage in, the new garden is a new garden, and the decoration is even better, after all, it has experienced the era of sweeping away all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.

Tingshuxuan is actually not a new garden, there are many old gardens on this side of Dashilar, including the branch of Xiangwen Society, Deqing Building, this is an old garden, and Sanqing Garden is opposite, two face to face.

Sanqingyuan is the performance location of the previous Sanqing class, this can be a year, the Sanqing class is one of the four major Hui classes, when Qianlong Ye had a birthday, the four major Hui classes entered Beijing to celebrate his birthday, which stayed in Beijing to perform, did not go, and later produced the Peking Opera genre.

Therefore, Sanqingyuan can be said to be the ancestral land of Peking Opera.

It's just that now the Peking Opera industry is more sluggish than cross talk, and no one listens to it, and a ninth-rate star is more well-known than a Peking Opera celebrity.

I think that Peking Opera was a real mainstream art back then, in the old society, there was such a saying in the art world, called Beijing to learn art, Tianjin to become famous, and Shanghai to make money.

The most profitable place is Shanghai, there was a female movie star named Hu Die in Shanghai that year, which was a domestic first-line female star and the most earned.

It takes her about two or three months to shoot a scene, and she can earn a thousand yuan, and other stars may be able to earn a few hundred.

This is a lot, for ordinary people, a thousand yuan can buy two good houses.

It was also the same era, there was a big horn in Peking Opera named Yu Shuyan, the founder of the Yu School, and people went to Shanghai to sing opera, and it was also two months for them, and they earned seven thousand five, can they compare?

At that time, Peking Opera was really brilliant and a real mainstream art, but now it can't be done.

On the first day of the opening of Tingshuxuan, a lot of people came, media friends also came, and hundreds of people from the audience came, filling the seats, all of which were coming for He Xiangdong.

He Xiangdong is now the most popular artist in the traditional art industry, and his current popularity is not far from a first-line star, and the next thing is to accumulate, and his popularity also depends on slow accumulation.

Of course, there are also people who fall on the way to accumulation, all of which are normal, but as far as He Xiangdong's current situation is concerned, he still has quite enough stamina.

In the past, the old bookstore storytelling was calculated according to a year, generally the boss found four storytellers, one said a quarter, basically like this, and then the four of you agreed, who came first and who came later, including what to say, this has to be set in advance, and the crash of the province.

And then after the first gentleman opened the book, this quarter was all this face, and there was no one else, he would keep talking.

A set of books with a large cost can be said for several months, and of course he may choose two novellas, which are all up to the person.

Of course, not now, this bookstore has to rely on He Xiangdong to attract popularity, quarter by quarter, only He Xiangdong has people to listen to that quarter, not at other times, this is not over.

Besides, He Xiangdong is busy, let him stare here every day for a quarter, he doesn't have this time, so what he has decided now is to come here twice a week to talk about books, and others to stare at the rest of the time.

The resident actors in the garden include Du Yuefeng, as well as several excellent storytelling artists from the storytelling gate, and a few from Xihemen, all of whom are storytellers, so they don't care about what they think of the portal.

In the evening, He Xiangdong first went up to open the story, and the three gentlemen told the story tonight, He Xiangdong opened the pit "The Biography of Jigong", Du Yuefeng opened the pit "Journey to the West", and the storytelling artist Ma Heibai opened the pit "Liao Zhai", this horse looks a little ghostly in black and white, which is suitable for talking about this kind of book.

These are all big pits.

Jigong, Journey to the West, and Liaozhai, these are all common in film and television works, and people are familiar with them, but storytelling is a secondary creation, which is different.

It is said that raw books are familiar with operas, and you can't get tired of listening to music, and you have to listen to fresh ones when you listen to books, and no one wants to listen to them a second time.

So it's definitely different.

The evening officially opened, and there were many audience members sitting in the audience, about 200 people, and the bookstore was also full.

He Xiangdong comes twice a week, Du Yuefeng comes five times a week, and Ma Heibai comes all, this is like a serial, it has to be updated frequently, otherwise people will easily forget the plot they heard last time.

Listen to the drama and listen to the big axis, listen to the book and listen to the buttons, you give the buttons to others, and tickle people's hearts, which has to be made up in a certain time, otherwise when the strength is over, people will forget the buttons, and then there will be no cure. With He Xiangdong's wrist and ability, he has to come twice a week.

"Smack. ”

The book was officially opened, the awakening wood was shocking, and the pits were dug endlessly.
