From the pronunciation method of traditional Chinese opera-"Qi Shen Dan Tian"
"Qi Shen Dan Tian, sound penetrating the top", it is a valuable experience that our predecessors of traditional Chinese opera and singing have summed up in the process of singing for a long time. Below I have arranged the pronunciation methods of traditional Chinese opera for you, hoping to help you!
Artistic singing, with qi and sound, realizes the * * * vibration of qi and sound.
"Breath sinking into the sky and sound penetrating to the top" is a valuable experience summed up by the predecessors of Chinese opera and singing in the process of singing for a long time.
This famous saying is a household name in the vocal art world, especially in the field of traditional Chinese opera.
As an artistic law, it plays an important role in various operas, schools and trades. For example, Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng, the four famous Peking Opera artists in China, Qiu Shengrong, Fang Rongxiang, Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying, Gao Qingkui and Chang Xiangyu, the master of Henan Opera, all benefited from the basic essentials of technical pronunciation.
It can be said that mastering the basic essentials of "Shen Dan Tian" in an all-round way is the basis and key to ensure the singer to form an artistic style.
why can you become a success by mastering this method?
in other words, what is the theoretical basis of this method?
How can you master this method accurately to make your voice shine with charm?
this paper intends to talk about some personal views on these problems, in order to make a modest contribution to the solution of the above problems.
first, the theoretical basis of "Shen Dan Tian"
Chinese traditional culture has always attached importance to the vitality of breath, "writing is mainly based on qi", painting is based on "vivid charm", and singing is also based on harmony between qi and sound, reaching the realm of lofty rhyme form.
"Shen Dan Tian" is the basic point of practicing vocal music in traditional Chinese opera. If you master the basic skills of vocal music singing, you will have a higher success rate, because it conforms to the physiological functions of the tissues and organs and systems equipped by nature for technical pronunciation and the principles of Chinese medicine and meridians.
Each singer's vocal organs have different conditions, but the basic methods of nourishing and using Qi are the same.
Only when an artist is spiritually connected can he develop his brilliant voice and leave a lasting artistic singing achievement.
(1) Meridian basis of "Qi Shen Dan Tian"
According to the meridian theory of Chinese medicine, "Meridian system runs in the whole body through regular contact and intersection."
according to this medical principle, we can know that people's "abdomen" is inherited from their parents, and "innate vitality" and "clear qi" absorbed after tomorrow will converge in "abdomen" under certain conditions.
Therefore, "Dantian" is connected with human vitality, which is the origin of primordial yang, the place where qi originates, and the source of human life power.
"Dantian" and the cycle of true qi are endless, so life activities can be maintained.
Therefore, it is called "the ancestor of life", "the root of twelve meridians" and "the foundation of internal organs" in life medicine.
Because "Dantian" is the portal of breathing, the birthplace of Ren, Du and Chong, and the place where qi and blood of the whole body meet, China medicine is also called "Qi Hai" point.
If this acupoint is full, it can strengthen the body and lay a solid foundation for other activities.
"dantian" is the place where people's essence and qi converge, the source of internal force of human body, the source of "qi of meridians", the energy pool of gas source power and the physiological and material basis of good pronunciation.
(II) Anatomical and physiological basis of "Qi Shen Dan Tian"
As a "basic method" recognized by the singing world, "Qi Shen Dan Tian" has not only the basis of Chinese medical meridians, but also the basis of anatomical physiology.
from the perspective of singing method system, dantian's breath is deep and solid, which is a necessary condition for vocal cords to produce * * * sounds.
"Dantian" is closely related to the diaphragm, the respiratory muscle most related to skillful pronunciation.
Diaphragm is the most important respiratory muscle in human body, and it is a kind of muscle tissue different from other muscles in the whole body.
It's like a parachute, with the bottom facing up and the mouth facing down. It's located between the chest and the abdominal cavity. It's big, round, thin and flat.
In the middle is aponeurosis, which is called "central tendon".
It is elastic, tough, flexible and expandable, and has the function of improving the endurance and endurance of the physiological function of the respiratory system.
Diaphragm is the largest flatus muscle in human body, occupying a large area in the upper abdominal cavity.
It needs a lot of muscles, tendons and ligaments to be fixed organically, just like the rope that controls a parachute, to maintain the basic physiological function of life, breathing and circulation.
Therefore, as the physiological material basis of technical pronunciation, the role of diaphragm can not be ignored.
However, without the strong support of the internal force in the abdomen, just like a parachute with countless ropes and no "force point" to control the airflow direction, it can't achieve the purpose of fixed-point landing.
"Dantian" is the "force point" to support the diaphragm's vitality. With it, the diaphragm's basic role can play its due organic role in technical pronunciation.
