Chapter 53 The Rhyme of Peking Opera

Ximei saw Song Youzhen's eyes at first sight, turned her head and said "crackling" at Xibao, signaling her to kneel down with them.

Xibao was very unfair, but then he thought, there was something wrong with her.

Now she is unable to protect herself at Xilianshe, so why do she still have the intention to listen to others’ right and wrong?

So she knelt down obediently and said, "I know my disciple is wrong and I will not make any more mistakes in the future."

Song Youzhen nodded with relief.

The tone was much calmer, and after several people got up and sat down, they started today's course.

"Danji is a big business, and there are many branches below, including Lao Dan, Qingyi, Huadan, Wudan, Daomadan, Caidan, etc. Since ancient times, those who sang Qingyi did not play Huadan, and vice versa.

But now the situation is different. When we start a opera troupe to teach opera, we can't delay students who are eager to learn.

I mainly teach Qingyi and Daomadan's plays. If any of you want to learn Huadan and Caidan, Xiao Bantou will each hold a course on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and you can go to him to learn it.

If anyone wants to learn Wudan, the Song Dynasty class next door will hold a course every Thursday afternoon, and you can go and learn it.

But since you entered my classroom today, no matter what classes you went to study in the future, you will still be considered my disciples.

If you encounter any difficulties in the troupe or outside the troupe, you can ask me to solve them.

Do you understand?"

All the students should "yes".

Song Youzhen started class.

But he didn't say anything, but asked questions to the students one by one, wanting to find out their background.

He had known Xi Bao's degree a long time ago, so he didn't ask about it. He mainly examined Ximei and the others.

But after asking this round, Xibao finally knew why the other team leaders didn't want them anymore.

They are all little babies who have never even watched the drama before. There are no complete names for the drama, and even fewer those with basic skills.

Everything has to be taught from scratch.

Especially Xizhu, who is one year older than Xiju, is braver than Xiju. Song Youzhen asked him a little louder, and he was scared to tears.

I didn't dare to cry, and I stayed there and shivered all over, not knowing how to wipe my tears and snot.

Xibao even had a headache for Song Youzhen.

This is not a teaching show?

Pure to coax the child.

However, she still has to be grateful to these four little radish heads. It is better to be difficult for apprentices to teach than to have no apprentices to teach them.

At least Song Youzhen would not be fired because she could not bring her disciples.

Xibao felt that he had the responsibility to help Song Youzhen take care of these little babies, and did not ask them to be kicked out of the troupe because they failed the assessment, and then asked Song Youzhen to become a lonely person.

The morning class starts from the second hour of Chen and goes to the second hour of Si, a total of one and a half hours.

In the first half of the hour, Song Youzhen talked about some theoretical knowledge of opera, such as the origin of the development of Peking Opera and the sound and rhyme system of Peking Opera.

"The sound and rhyme system of Beijing opera is based on Zhongzhou rhyme and mixed with Beijing rhyme and Huguang rhyme.

The most prominent feature of Zhongzhou rhyme is the distinction between the characters Jiantuan and Shangkou.

For example, although the pronunciation of "sword" in swords and "arrow" in archery is the same in Beijing, one is the word "tuan" and the other is the word "sharp". The sword of swords can be pronounced as jiàn, while the arrow of archery must be pronounced as ziàn.

For example, Qian Niu's Qian and Millions of Qian are also pronounced in the Beijing opera. However, in the Beijing opera, Qian Niu's Qian is the word Tuan, which is still pronounced as the original pronunciation, while Millions of Qian are the word sharp, which is pronounced as ciān.

The word "生" in drinking wine should be pronounced as ziǔ, and the heart of the heart should be pronounced as sīn or something like that.

These are the distinction between the character "Singtuan".

As for the word "upper" it refers to some catchy ancient characters. The reason why it has been used in Peking Opera is that these characters are easy to replicate and have beautiful lip shapes when pronounced.

The most typical one is to go shopping on the streets. In Peking Opera, you often read it as jiāi, the medicine in medicine jars is pronounced as yuò, the eating and drinking of wuz and the millions of wuz, and the daily reading is pronounced as riyi.

I don’t have a systematic summary of this classic, so I can’t finish it with you in one breath. I will start teaching lyrics in the future. You should pay more attention to it and remember it yourself.

Who among you is from Zhongzhou who speaks Zhongzhou dialect? Stand up and say a few words to everyone?"

Song Youzhen gave a few examples and glanced down and found that except Xibao, the other four people were confused and seemed to be completely confused. They couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the benefits of Xibao and the difficulty of accepting disciples.

So he shook his head and continued to say, "It doesn't matter if you can't speak. You can learn slowly later. I will continue to talk, and you don't understand and listen carefully.

They are all children from the Beijing area. What is Jingyin? I won’t tell you about it as a teacher.

Next, let’s talk about Huguang rhyme…”

Song Youzhen muttered the words and explained them to the students one by one. After finishing the Huguang Yun, Song Youzhen became addicted to asking someone for his ancestral home. However, after the lesson just now, he gained a memory and suddenly looked at Xibao who had been recording carefully and said, "Xibao, I have taught you a play of "Locking the Case". You sing the first lyrics that Zhao Shouzhen sang after she went on stage, so that everyone could feel it."

The third scene of "Locking the Case" tells the story of the poor daughter Zhao Shouzhen about to get married. Her father Zhao Luhan was worried about not being able to raise a dowry. He wanted to explain it to Zhao Shouzhen, but he was embarrassed to speak and cried with guilt. Zhao Shouzhen was very wise and comforted Zhao Luhan, saying that he would get married even if he had nothing.

This scene is intended to contrast with the rich girl Xue Xiangling in the previous two scenes, because she was not satisfied with the dowry carefully prepared by her family and made things difficult for her servants.

As soon as Zhao Shouzhen came on stage, she sang a Xipi rocking board.

Whether it is Xipi or Erhuang, the Beijing Opera tunes are based on the original board and are changed according to the speed of the rhythm.

Therefore, when ordinary masters teach opera, they also teach the original plan first.

But Xibao was born as a fan of fans and had been in trouble since childhood. When Song Youzhen taught her, she had already been exposed to all of this.

Because the students were just letting the students feel the rhythm of Peking Opera first, Song Youzhen thought of whatever drama he wanted, Xibao sang.

Xibao was not vague either. He stood up and cleared his throat, and started singing.

"How dare people with poor destiny be blamed for living in poor alleys?

I worked hard all day long for the tired father to get married.

Poor his parents are going to borrow silver..."

Xibao's opera style is gentle and multi-toned, crisp, bright and fresh, extremely sweet and a little sad. As soon as he opens his mouth, he brings people into the play and wants to continue listening.

Their classroom was not crowded, so it seemed empty. Her voice was even more lingering and penetrating.

Even the students who were listening to the class in Song Qiwen's classroom next door were shocked and couldn't help but look out the window frequently.

Xilianshe has three classrooms and one training ground.

Only Song Qiwen and Song Youzhen are taking the role class at this time.

Hearing this voice, the students couldn't help but talk privately: "It turns out that Xiao Song's voice is so good, no wonder he can become a worshiper in the inner court."

Only when he couldn't teach the opera for the time being, Su Yunqing, who supervised his apprentice in Song Qiwen's class, was uneasy and rushed out of the door in one breath and said, "No, Song Youzhen was not so good when she sang the most gloriously. Besides, his voice would have ended long ago!"

He wanted to go and see which good seedling was missed by him. He had to take advantage of the class there and the matter of choosing an apprentice was not settled, so he could just grab the person...

The content of this chapter on the sound and rhyme system of Peking Opera refers to the book "So Beautiful Peking Opera" by Teacher Mei Ruoheng.

I don’t know how many days I have been walking at home like a wandering soul. I can faint if I move a little harder. The virus is very cunning and leads my immune system to circle around my body. I feel all over the Internet, my hands and feet are chilling, no anesthesia, craniotomy, cement nose, blade throat, diarrhea, and bloating. I have experienced it all, but today it seems like I’m back to the first day…

I almost used up the manuscript, and I felt heartbroken!

In short, I don’t have much time left for the virus, and there has been no improvement in the past two days, so I will go to the hospital to solve it!
