I believe everyone has watched film and television dramas such as "Mu Guiying in Charge" and "Young Bao Qingtian", which are also my two favorite film and television dramas, in addition to film and television dramas, the most famous in Henan, and also a household name, there must be traditional dramas such as "Mu Guiying in Charge", "Bao Qingtian", "Mulan", "Dou E's Injustice", "The Legend of the White Snake" and so on.

Speaking of Henan Opera, most people think that it must be the role of "Shengdan and Ugly" in Henan Opera, but according to the general saying, it is four lives, four dans, and four flower faces. The troupe organization is also in accordance with the principle of "four lives, four dans, four faces, four soldiers, four generals, and four rings; Eight scenes of two boxes of letters, plus four miscellaneous servants".

I heard it in a fog. Although I was born in Henan, who cares about these singing operas except for playing games and listening to pop songs.

So I chased after my grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, what you said about the four lives and four dans of the cat face, and what kind of shrimp soldiers and crabs will be the little maid." What the hell is it? And also.... ”

Before I could finish speaking, my grandfather had a chestnut on my head.

"Little bunny, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Grandpa smiled and said a word to me, and then hummed the opera to himself, I sat beside my grandfather with my head in my dissatisfaction and listened for a while, and unconsciously listened to it, and even grandpa shouted several times before I came back to my senses.

"Stinky boy?"

"Stinky boy?"

"I don't stink, grandpa, you call me?" I looked at the old man sitting under the tree in the garden in front of me in confusion, but my thoughts had already drifted to the "tempting" Henan opera.

So under my coercion and temptation, my grandfather finally spoke.

"Okay, after talking about a bottle of Du Kang, don't give you milk!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"This Henan opera, also called Henan Bangzi, is an extremely important part of our Chinese Bangzi vocal cavity drama. It is mainly popular in our Henan Province and traditional dramas that spread throughout China. ”

"Just blow it, you," I rolled my eyes disdainfully.

"Hey"

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about? What is blowing? Our Henan Opera is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Along with Peking Opera and Yue Opera, it is the same as the three tripods of Chinese opera. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it has become a very influential opera genre in Henan. It is hundreds of years old, to say the least. ”

When my grandfather saw that I didn't believe it, he was angry and talked about the history of Henan Opera. And he looked at me for a long time before he said, "I told you to go to school, you have to raise pigs." Playing games and playing mobile phones every day, I don't even know this bit of traditional drama, how did I raise such a thing as you? ”

"Oh, yes, I believe it, you can go on. Why is this Henan Opera on an equal footing with Peking Opera and Yue Opera?" I still urged my grandfather with suspicion to continue to talk about Henan Opera.

"Ah," Grandpa continued, sighing

"In the process of generation and development, this Henan opera has absorbed the artistic factors of Kun dialect, blowing cavity, leather reed and other Bangzi vocal cavity operas, and at the same time has widely absorbed Henan folk popular music, quyi rap and folk songs, which has formed a simple and mellow, rich and delicate, and rich local flavor of the opera characteristics. Our Henan opera is praised by Westerners as 'Oriental aria' and 'Chinese opera'. ”

"I've been talking for a long time, it's a string," I suddenly came to this sentence, "pop" with a crisp sound and a slap on my head, I stood up with a whimper.

"What are you hitting me for?" I covered my head and asked the old man in front of me anxiously, only to see him humming leisurely and rubbing his palms, presumably the slap was riveting.

When I saw that he ignored me, I asked again.

"What are you hitting me for?"

The old man turned his head slightly to look at me for a while before he spoke

"What did you say you were beating? What has been handed down by our ancestors, do you dare to say that it is a string? If it weren't for the fact that you are my grandson, I would have slapped you to death. ”

I was embarrassed, and I knew that I was at fault first, so I sat back in a gloomy way. "Then tell me what kind of cat face, what is the shrimp soldier crab general little girl?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a big hand coming towards me, and I was so frightened that I quickly put my head in my hands and shouted, "It's wrong, it's wrong, I know it's wrong." ”

"You kid.... For the sake of correcting your mistakes, I'll tell you, go and bring me the chaise longue. ”

"Oh"

After I put the chaise longue away, my grandfather found a comfortable position to lie down before slowly speaking.

"Remember, that's called four lives, four dans, four flowers, four soldiers, four generals, and four girls. Don't go out and embarrass me."

I hurriedly agreed, for fear that my grandfather would be angry and not tell me. Grandpa took a sip of tea and continued, "These 'four lives' are about the old students, the big red-faced red students, the second red-faced martial arts students and the little students. 'Sidan' is Zhengdan Tsing Yi, Xiao Dan is also called Hua Dan, Boudoir Dan, Lao Dan, Cai Dan. However, this color is not another easter egg. Hold back your weird thoughts. ”

Grandpa suddenly said this, as if he had seen through my thoughts. I could only shut up and swallow the words that came to my throat alive.

"These four flower faces are blackhead vice-net, big flower face, two flower face, three flower face, and three flower face, and the three-flower face is also what we often call a harlequin."

"Is it ugly?"

Grandpa wanted to look at me like a fool, and he looked at me carefully for a long time, and I was about to be furious, so he said to himself, "A good child, why don't you have a brain?" ”

“.......”

"A harlequin is not ugly, but a funny or dishonorable character. For example, in the comedy sketches that you like to watch now, the more comic characters in them can be understood as harlequins. ”

"I'm white, just like the little one in Kokura, it's a harlequin. Right, grandpa? ”

"The son can be taught, so do you know which play Xiaokura baby is from?"

"This.... I've only heard of Ogura Wa, I left Dengfeng County, if you ask where it comes from, I really don't know. "I asked for a long time, but my grandfather didn't answer, remembering me like an ant crying on a hot pot.

"Want to know?"

"Think"

"Plus a bottle of Du Kang," I saw the little old man lying on the chair slowly stretch out a finger.

"Didn't you say you'd just have a bottle? Why did you add another bottle?" I asked, puzzled

"Young man, it's another price"

Looking at the leisurely old man lying on the chair, I gritted my teeth, "Okay, add one bottle, add another bottle." And then you say."

"The story of Xiaocangwa comes from our Henan opera's "Xiaocangwa Roll Sweeping Tube", you are right, Xiaocangwa plays a harlequin in it. is like Bao Gong Bao Qingtian in "Bao Qingtian", which is a net angle and a big flower face. Legend has it that when a troupe was performing, he met Qin Xianglian."

"Qin Xianglian?"

"Want to hear it?"

“...... One more bottle, couldn't have more"

Grandpa smiled when he heard me say this, stretched out his hand and patted me, "What kind of money is not money for our grandfather and grandson, even if you don't mention it, I will talk about it."

I feel that I am on the thief ship, and a nameless fire is blocked in my heart and cannot get out.

It is said that there is such a troupe, when performing "Bao Qingtian", a nameless wind suddenly blew on the stage, accompanied by the cry of a woman, which scared the people on the spot. But the scene had to continue to be sung, so the class owner came up with an idea and directly asked the person who played Bao Gong to come on the stage and ask who was crying. ”

"And then?" I got goosebumps when I heard it, and I couldn't help but hug myself.

"Then, the actor was also frightened, but he still got on the head, sat in front of the desk and slapped the startling wood in his hand, and asked loudly, 'Who is coming?' As soon as the voice fell, the woman's crying stopped, and an ancient woman dressed in white slowly floated out in the wind. Bao Qingtian's actor was frightened, but he still had the courage to ask, 'Who is making noise here, report your name!' I saw the woman in white kneeling on the ground, and said quietly, "Qin Xianglian, a folk girl, sue Chen Shimei, a negative man." ”
