Chapter 42: The Gatekeeper Family

There is a saying that there is nothing to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

There is also a saying that when things go wrong, there must be demons.

This is a greasy uncle who looks at the door, but it is not worth it to others, and he is a cigarette and a laughing and chattering companion.

"Yes, you can see it, and I won't hide it."

Chang Xian didn't dare to underestimate the heroes of the world, and said honestly: "Aren't I collecting old goods, look at the fan you have in hand for many years, and I want to get started and see ......"

"I also said what is the matter, this bend has to go around the three provinces of the east, look at it, look at it......"

The man readily agreed.

I often take a look at it, and the quality of the folding fan is still good, without losing its style.

On the front is a picture of Guanyin, and on the back is the Heart Sutra written in hairpins.

Looking at its style, the calligraphy and painting on the front and back are all from Mei Lanfang's hand.

"Hey, it turned out to be Mr. Mei's fan, this is a saying, how did you get here?"

"Speaking of this fan, it was left by our old man, when he was alive, he worked in the Jinmen Grand Theater......"

"Then you are a family of quyi, no wonder I heard your Xipi Erhuang just now is good, you have a plank and an eye!"

"Where is the family of quyi, we are a family of gatekeepers!"

The man snorted, "He's guarding the door at the Jinmen Grand Theater, and I'm here to watch the door!"

He patted his head and was very proud, "It's all janitors, but it's different in the Jinmen Theater." “

"It turns out it's called the Chinese Grand Theater, you know? It is the land given by Mr. Gu Weijun, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, with five floors, three floors of auditorium, and 2,380 seats, which is the absolute first in China.........

The man had a proud expression on his face: "Don't talk about foreign devils, it's the skin, and this elevator is said to be still in use......"

Although Chang Xian is not a ticket holder, he still knows about the Jinmen Grand Theater.

What is the status of the Tianjin Gate Grand Theatre in the Peking Opera Company?

Let's put it this way, what is the status of the Vienna Golden Hall in the eyes of musicians, and what is the status of the Tianjin Gate Theater in the Peking Opera industry at that time.

At that time, the "Four Famous Dans", "Four Little Famous Dans", "Four Great Susheng" and other famous people of various factions seemed to be in an endless stream.

What's in the insider's mouth?

"Sing red China, China sing red!"

didn't call the name in the Jinmen Grand Theater, and dared to call the role if he didn't win the stage there?

Grandmother!

……

"The opening of the 36th year was when General Zhang Zizhong, the mayor of Jinmen at that time, cut the ribbon for the theater, and Mr. Ma Lianliang presided over it. Our old man was there at the time. “

The man could see that he was a real drama fan, "Guys, have you ever heard cross talk selling standing tickets?" At that time, the person was black-headed, and he really sold standing tickets!"

"At that time, Mr. Ma cooperated with Jiang Miaoxiang, Li Hongfu, Liu Lianrong, Ru Fuhui and other famous artists, and the first unveiling performance of "Heroes Meeting" and "Borrowing the East Wind", and later Ma Lianliang also performed "Jumping Plus Official".

"You know what? Mr. Ma has performed this "Jumping Plus Official" in his life! Put it on now, don't talk about standing tickets, you have to go with tickets!"

He looked fascinated: "I don't have this blessing, it's just the old man of our family, he has been there since he played for three or six years, until he retired, and he didn't fall into any good show, and he ......was familiar with every role."

Chang is idle and doesn't talk, he listens with a smile, he especially likes to listen to such stories, which is also a kind of inheritance.

"Your kid is lucky, his grandson and my son are about to get married, and they are stumped by this wedding room, I wanted to wait for the house price to fall, but I didn't expect it to rise so much......"

The man's voice was full of helplessness and loneliness: "These things were all begged by the old man with a smiling face back then, and they would not have been sold if they were killed, but who made Lao Tzu incapable!"

Lao Jinmen people have this problem, their son is married, Lao Tzu has to prepare a house, otherwise he will be ridiculed for his lack of ability.

But how much ability can Lao Tzu, who earns more than 1,000 a month, have in front of the reinforced concrete with wings?

As he spoke, he stood up and locked the communication room: "You help me watch the point, twenty minutes, I'll bring everything at home, you take a look first!"

Twenty minutes later, he came with a thick roll.

Wrapped in kraft paper finely, it is very careful.

Chang Xian looked at the pile in front of him, counting twenty-seven pieces, no need to look closely, from the spiritual sense of perception are all genuine.

There are books and paintings, and they may have a relationship with their profession, almost all of them are fans, mainly group fans and folding fans.

……

Speaking of fans, this is another head.

We ordinary people, naturally, we are what we catch, but we really don't have it, and we can slap our clothes twice.

But for people with status, it's different.

For those who have power, a piece of mud must show their rank, and for those who are rich, they must show their status when they drink saliva.

As an important ornament, the fan can't be casual.

With everything, there must be the spirit of digging on the ancestral grave, and the original fan can be traced back to the primitive society.

Now the Indians are clothed with leaves and feathers on their heads.

The same was probably true of our ancients, especially the ornate feathers, which represented prey and wealth.

Therefore, in ancient times, people with status used feathers to form fans side by side.

Now on the theater stage, people can see the emperor's guard of honor, and behind it is the treasure fan made of feathers, which is actually a kind of flaunting wealth.

During the Han Dynasty, feather fans were popular, and of course, the best feathers must be in the hands of the nobility.

Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, this image has been eternal.

What he was holding in his hand was definitely not an ordinary feather fan, at least the best feather of the time, the whitest feather, with luxurious decoration.

Men use feather fans, but what about women?

Fan with silk.

In the harem of the Han Dynasty, fans like the moon were popular.

Ban Jieyu wrote: "Bright as frost and snow, reunion like the bright moon."

This fan can not only fan the wind, but also be used as a prop for beauty.

Covering half of the face creates an aesthetic effect.

But such fans, because they are not easy to wash, can often only be used for one summer, and the next year they wait to make a new one. As a result, the beautiful fan becomes the complaint of a resentful woman or a literati, and the fan is waiting to be used up and discarded.

The folding fan appeared later than the group fan, and it is said that it was the chao. Rarely passed on.

But some people quote scriptures and say that where are the Chinese who do not have folding fans? We're so smart that we still need to start from the dynasty. Is it fresh? At least in the Jin Dynasty, there were stacked fans.

Also, think about the principle, fold and fold, which is almost the same as folding a fan.

But Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty did say that the dynasty. I rarely like to make a folding fan, unfold the wide ruler, and close it with two fingers.

Believe it or not, the popularity of folding fans was in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor began to dominate it.

When Emperor Yongle was in the court, he held a large folding fan in his hand, opened it with a sigh, and often recited poems on it and distributed it to ministers.

If something is good, it will be effective.

So the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone is the image spokesperson of the folding fan.
