Tradition should be in line with modernity.
Traditional Chinese opera is one of the traditional cultural forms in China. There are also some articles in the high school text. I remember when I read it, I wrote it well. But when I really go to the theater in To the Opera House, I'm afraid most young people will fall asleep like the boy in Mr. Ding Cong's cartoon, accompanied by the singing of "Uh-Oh" by the actors on the stage.
Why can't traditional operas attract teenagers? I think it's mainly because the life shown by opera is far away from us. The actors in your stands are performing in ancient costumes. He sang "Ah, Oh, Yi" for a long time, and the songs were mostly local sounds, so it was hard to hear clearly. And a lyric often drags on for a long time, which will make people anxious! It does not conform to the fast-paced characteristics of modern society at all, nor does it conform to the appreciation habits of modern teenagers. I'm afraid it's hard to attract young people and pass it on.
So I think traditional opera should be in line with modern life. Among them, the most important thing is to start with content transformation, not always some traditional tracks, but to innovate in content and show real life. Isn't the ancient drama also the story of that era? Why do modern social operas still sing those old songs? In my opinion, only by showing the familiar life of modern people can we have more audiences.
In order to express modern life, the dress has to be changed, not the traditional one, which confuses people with the times. Besides, the singing should be changed. Local operas, like Beijing opera, should be sung in Putonghua, which is easy to understand. Of course, I'm afraid the "uh-huh" that has been delayed for a long time has to keep up with the rhythm of the times, otherwise who can stand it!
Some people may say, after such changes, can it still be called Chinese opera? I think it's ok. We have firmly retained the core of China opera's service to China audience and modern life, and abandoned some unreasonable old forms. Why not? If we stick to tradition, there will be neither new works nor new artistic methods to supplement it. Then, with fewer and fewer old audiences, such operas will eventually enter the history museum.
In fact, it is more in line with modern life than traditional Chinese opera. Many of our traditional cultures have begun to integrate with modern life. For example, painters use brush to create Chinese paintings, which are no longer limited to depicting ancient figures and landscapes, but to express modern life. Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Fan Ceng, Huang Yongyu and other Chinese painting masters, who didn't show modern life with ancient pen and ink and modern means? Calligraphy works keep pace with the times, which not only shows the calligrapher's imitation of ancient Mo Bao, but also creates a new style of fonts. Other traditional arts can be in line with modern times, why not traditional opera?
Only when traditional art is in line with the world can it be full of vitality, attract young people and be passed down in the process of inheritance.
Example annotation
The author has carefully studied the cartoons, caught the phenomenon that teenagers fall asleep without being interested in opera, reflected on why opera can't attract teenagers, and then put forward the view that opera needs innovation, and emphatically expounded how to innovate and the value and significance of innovation. In order to make his statement more reasonable, the author cites other examples of traditional art forms that have been innovated and developed to prove it. Finally, he can justify himself and better explain his point of view. The full text is clear in thinking, closely related to the main idea and well-founded, which is a good exercise.
Mr Ding Cong is a famous cartoonist in China. This cartoon entitled "The Reaction of Two Generations" shows the different reactions of grandparents and grandchildren when they listen to the opera.
First, look at the picture clearly. This painting consists of three people. Looking from left to right, the opera actor standing on the left high platform painted with ancient costumes, wearing big flower costumes, sleeves and blue fingers, indicating that he was singing opera works. There is a long, looped arc between the "ah-oh-yi" from the mouth, indicating that the voice is long and slow. On the right are grandchildren (children and old people) sitting under the stage. The grandson (young man) in the middle has fallen asleep with his head down and his eyes closed; Grandpa (the old man) leans back in the chair, with his chin in his left hand, and his right hand unconsciously learns the beat on his knee. His mouth is upturned and his eyes are full of smiles, as if he had been intoxicated with the wonderful "aha-aha".
Second, read the text on the prompt screen clearly. There are three words in the picture: first, the actor sings "Ah Oh Yi", which shows that it is a traditional opera singing method with a slow rhythm. Secondly, there is "Xiaoding 80" under the actor, which means that it is the work of Mr. Ding Cong 1980. The third is the title in the lower right corner, which clearly points out that when watching opera programs, the reactions of the two generations are completely different.
Third, the combination of graphics and text, clear theme. Through the attitudes of the two generations in this cartoon towards the opera works, Mr. Ding Cong reveals the following views to us: First, the opera works have unique charm (vitality) and are loved by the older generation. Second, Chinese opera works are slow in pace and are not popular with teenagers. Third, traditional opera works need to be reformed according to the needs of the development of the times. Fourthly, the younger generation needs to cultivate their interest in appreciating opera. Fifth, standing still will lead to the decline of Chinese opera works. 6. If you lose teenagers, you lose your future.
Fourth, determine the main points of writing according to the data.
The above viewpoints (themes) can be used as the main points of writing. As young students, we can emphasize the unique charm of opera, such as beautiful lyrics, beautiful singing, wonderful dance steps and unique modeling, which shows that we should understand traditional culture and inherit and spread it. It can also be criticized that Chinese opera has not kept pace with the times, so it has lost a younger audience and will eventually become history. Advocating the active action of traditional Chinese opera itself, participating in the reform and creating new forms that young people like to see and hear.
Fifth, develop association and imagination with reality. Comics are about drama, but we should not only talk about drama itself, but also learn to expand it. According to association, we understand that traditional opera culture represents traditional art forms. Here, the different attitudes of the older generation and the younger generation towards opera are actually the attitudes of the two generations towards different traditional arts, that is, how to treat cultural traditions and traditional culture. With the impact of foreign culture and modern art, how do the younger generation view our precious cultural resources, such as Chinese characters, calligraphy art, Chinese painting, ancient musical instruments, folk art and so on. How to appreciate traditional culture and how to inherit and develop traditional culture can be used as a writing point. At the same time, how traditional culture absorbs modern culture, how to further develop the combination of Chinese and western cultures, and how to critically absorb the essence of foreign cultures can also be used as writing points. Students should not cover everything in their writing, but they must be well-founded and well-founded.
