The study of culture is a hotspot in Chinese academic studying field now. It is necessary to anatomize the concrete Chinese cultural form when going deep into understanding Chinese contemporary cultural property. The operculum as a literary form, which appeals to the cultured and popular tastes, and the young and old has a great social influence and an especially typical significance in Chinese contemporary cultural pattern. The topic of this paper fixed the research object on "the northeast comedic operculum and it's the cultural significance" by a way of "analyzing a particular case in detail in order to generalize the experience".The study of this paper is divided two parts, which are the studies of northeast comedic sketch and the cultural significance of northeast comedic sketch. Looked from the research angle of view that, former is the internal study of the sketch, emphasizing particularly on art theory; Latter is the exterior study of the sketch, emphasizing particularly on the sociology inspection and the judgment of the value theory. Speaking of the full text structure, first chapter, Chapter two and three separately discussed the limits and meanings of comedic sketch, the course of its development and the artistic feature of northeast sketch, which is the internal study; the study of Chapter four carried on with the relation between northeast sketch and the northeast dance duet, which mainly discussed their successive relation on art. This chapter concurrently had the double components that are internal study and exterior study. Chapter five, six and seven are all exterior studies, separately has discussed the northeast sketch culture and the northeast people, the northeast social relations, as well as how to look on the northeast sketch culture on certain special angles of view in the background of Chinese contemporary cultural.The first and second chapter inspected the northeast sketch in the background of entire Chinese contemporary comedic sketch. The author first defined comedic sketch on the cultural angle, which mainly elaborated the essential attribute, the existence form, the developing process, as well as the different artistic factions of sketch. This paper deems the sketch a kind of acrobatics form in itself, which is subject to the performing arts, and is born out of the play, simultaneously has absorbed the folk literary skills such as the farce, the comic dialogue, the dance duet and so on, and suits the stage performance in festival party. As one kind of cultural phenomenon, the sketch mainly appears in the television party scene, mainly accepted by the mass audiences, and it widely spreads in the public situation and the private through the audio and video product. The sketch belongs to the mass culture judged from the cultural attribute, but it is a contemporary ramification of the Chinese tradition funny art speaking of the historical origin.Appearing in the first Spring Festival evening in 1983 symbolized the comedic sketch officially enters the contemporary culture domain. The author mainly inspected more than twenty years' Chinese contemporary comedic sketch development course and different school and characteristic artistic faction. The sketch mainly has three types, namely south sketch, Beijing and Tianjin sketch, as well as northeast sketch. They separately have the blood relationship with exquisite culture, residential culture, and the local culture. The appearance of northeast sketch has the great significance in the sketch developing process. It occupied the center of sketch stage since the 90's, moreover explored own artistic feature for the sketch, which demonstrated the greatly strengthened artistic containing strength. It meant that the comedic sketch is changing from exquisite drama to folk acrobatics. At this point, the northeast sketch takes the comedic sketch a faction not only on the geography significance but also on the significance of artistic type.The third chapter of this paper precisely discusses the artistic feature of northeast sketch. Speaking of the structure, the representation of northeast sketch's characteristic is "the duplicate accent" and " the mutual article". I excerpt the Pakistan Hekking's concept of "the duplicate accent" to summarize the structure characteristic of northeast sketch. Pakistan Hekking discovered the novel's structure of "the duplicate accent" by analyzing the relationship between the author and the character in the novel. What I process is the story of sketch itself. I think the reason why a lot of northeast sketch have special charm and larger containable capability, and they can stand up pondering them over, the aftertaste and the analysis is the structure of "duplicate accent nature" in story: The arrangement of the plot is often not sole but dual. I call the plot that is performed in the stage "the dominant plot", and then there is another plot which hidden behind the former one called "the recessive plot". These two kinds of plots constitute a complete sketch only when they contact and compare with each other. Moreover, between the two plots above in the "duplicate accent" of northeast sketch have an opposite relationship. The dominant plot is often composed by a series of comedic factor, but the recessive plot is generally composed by a series of tragically factor.The relationship of the "mutual article" in northeast sketch is quite complex. First is the "mutual article" of interior sketch. The most prominent performance is the appearance of series of sketch. The "mutual article" of Northeast sketch also involves more extended texts space outside the sketch stage, which constituted the organization strategy of northeast sketch: Folk jokes, popular songs, poems, fashionable words, historical phenomenon,political language, current news, social topics......Nothing can be organizedinto the frame of sketch. The "duplicate accent" and the "mutual article" are the two main characteristics in the structure of northeast sketch; its main function is to break through the "frail feeling" which brings by the early drama sketch because of the configurable fetter.The characteristic of northeast sketch language is the "original humor". When the former comedic sketch that played attention to body language developed into the northeast sketch stage, the importance of language appeared especially outstandingly, and it became the main way of the sketch to build humors, display the character and exaggerate the subject. We believed without magnify that there was a " change of dialect" of the sketch at the end of the 80's and the beginning of 90's. The northeast dialect is the most humorous, which is succinct, vivid and rich in rhythm. This is mutually an outside and inside with the northeast people who have the bold, forthright and humorous character.The last part of art theory is the analysis regarding Zhao Benshan who is the representative actor in northeast sketch performing arts. Zhao Benshan's performing style is "lodging the humor into nature". In his influence, the universal style of northeast sketch has the background of real life, the popular expression, as well as the well-knit folk performing arts training or edification. The inborn humor cell in instantaneous can be represented through each change of the body such as eyes, language and movement, and those entirely have the "perforations".Chapter four has discussed the relationship between northeast sketch and the dance duet. It is a processing art matter, simultaneously also relatable with the northeast folk culture mental connotation that is reflected by dance duet. Therefore, this chapter is a transition on the framework of this paper. The dance duet is the artistic parent of northeast sketch. The northeast sketch shows the successive relationship with the dance duet on the personnel's' language, performing technique and various aspects of performing characteristic. These artistic inheritor makes the northeast sketch different from other sketch forms, which have formed the artistic connotation which won by the clown art. Clown art is the artistic spirit northeast inherited down by northeast sketch from the dance duet. Both of them display a kind of mental makings which Pakistan Hekking called "revelry spirit", but it is different because of the change of their performance way and territory. This kind of spiritual progressive change that turned from the revelry spirit of taking the life as the bottom color by the dance duet turned into the simulation by northeast sketch.Chapter five and Chapter six separately focuses to the relationship between the northeast sketch culture and the northeast people and the northeast society. The northeast sketch is simultaneously creating two kinds of visualizes in the stage: one is actor's visualize, the other one is the character visualize. The artistic esthetic experience tells us that one of factors of success in the narrative art is portraying the character. Northeast sketch has a stronger story, complex characters and vivid visualizes. The northeast sketch m molds Farmer who are absent in the contemporary literary arts stage for a long time through the overall style. The author knew the northeast sketch in the common people literary arts after discussed the farmer group portrait that molded by the northeast sketch and has analyzed the character disposition. From this angle inspection, the sketch culture that packed by a group of farmers is a beam of the construction of the contemporary common people literary arts. The common people literary arts in the May 4th Movement of 1919 are common people literary arts in outstanding social stratum world, and the common people played the actor as an ignorant people. The common people literary arts in the Mao Zedong's literary arts ideology are the common people literary arts in official grid, and the common people are took by the conformity, summoned, and even the deceived people. In these two kinds of common people literary arts, the genuine common people always all appeared as "the object" but never a main body. The third wave of common people literary arts' tide started in century's end, greatly is actually dissimilar. The common people's literary arts are the literary arts which the common people needs, creates and consumes, also the literary which judged by the common people under their own standard, and changed by common people on their own taste interest. This common people are the literary main bodies. The northeast sketch that is from farmer's angle of view and farmer's story, in farmer's language is outstanding representative in these common people literary arts.The northeast sketch portrays the northeast farmer image, as well as refracts the pain and happiness on the northeast in nearly several dozens years. The northeast sketch is a kind of popular art; it even more directly displays mental condition of a time and a specific society. Looked from this significance, the northeast sketch is a sensor that is transmitting some kind of situation of northeast society. It is difficult to understand the cultural value and sociological significance without pondering and grasping this kind of situation. First the author strongly inspected the contradiction interweaved between "the northeast phenomenon" in recent year's economy and "the northeast phenomenon", which constituted the pain and happiness in the current northeast society reforming process. The author think that the provincialism, interpersonal relationship, emotion demand and moral criterion molded by northeast sketch culture are the same closely related with the agrarian civilization. It focuses to the countryside theme too much but neglecting all sorts of labor pains which occurred in the northeast society industrialization process. The problems such as worker's coming off sentry, business failure, and the difficulty in state-owned enterprise reform become the scotoma of literary and art circles. Northeast's cultural atlas has obviously become an incomplete picture of northeast person face. The sketch plays a important role in all kinds styles of makeup in the recent years northeast society. Its negative effect is that as a result of the widespread influence of sketch, the northeast culture and the northeast people is confirmed in a vulgar and superficial stratification plane.How the northeast sketch culture reflects the northeast image is only an aspect of the question, and more important one is that the current northeast society is facing a difficult inspiring process again. Without a doubt, " promoting the northeast " focus to the angle of the economic society, but it is containing the connotation of cultural construction again. Looked on the historical angle, social modernized process and the people's modern ideology establishment is mutually for the outside and inside. It is not done in one action by no means that moving towards the industry society from the agricultural society and moving towards the up-to-datedness from the traditional consciousness. The popularity of current northeast sketch culture is easy to get the illusion which the culture rises. We must ask that whether it can take on this heavy responsibility of constructing the construction. The strong small farmer consciousness, the officialdom standard consciousness and the thought mode in the planned economy pattern in the northeast traditional culture all need abandon in the reforming process from the agricultural society culture to in the modern culture. And the contract spirit, credit consciousness, the equal idea, the competitive thought and the professional spirit that the modern society needs should be paid a tribute to. Thus it can be seen that devoting to raise the people's independent consciousness, then the cultivation modern personality, the modern society criterion initiation spirit still have the core value to construct the contemporary northeast culture again. The northeast sketch culture is obviously not the appropriate choice horizontally cut by such criterion, and the reason is that the ideology which it unfolds lacks the up-to-datedness and the initiation color, but not its displaying the farmer and the farm theme.Chapter seven is the conclusion. It takes the Chinese contemporary social culture landscape as the background to inspect the interaction relationship between the northeast sketch culture and the Chinese contemporary mass culture on three angles that are the vicissitude of farmer narrative angle, the rising of entertainment culture and the arrival of medium time. It would rather say that this is the conclusion of this topic study than say that this clues on further studies of spacious field of vision. The characteristic of this paper may be the deeper and more systemic study on northeast sketch that is a special case of contemporary culture. Seen speaking of the author, not yet appears about the monograph about sketch culture. It provided vaster research space for the author, and also provided a difficulty for author. The biggest value and possible limitation of the theories of this paper probably all focus to this point: Creation is an excited attempt and also a kind of adventure.
