The Artistic Image Building Of Guan Yu In Henan Opera "Gu Chen Hui"

The typical characteristics of Guan Yu’s loyalty and righteousness have always been favored by literary works,especially opera art,and still have extensive influence in the folk.For hundreds of years,countless opera predecessors took Guan Yu as the theme and created many stage works with great social value and aesthetic value.The story of Guan Gong opera is derived from historical facts,but the portrayal of its stage image is closely related to the deification of Guan Yu by later generations.Looking at the present performance of Guan Gong’s repertoire,Guan Gong’s image is often a comprehensive presentation of "man" and "god ",which has the dual color of hero and god.Guan Gong has also become a unique cultural symbol of " unity of man and god " in Chinese traditional culture,and also a concentrated expression of the feelings,aesthetics,wisdom and skills of the forefathers.Guan gong opera is not only a comprehensive display of the basic qualities of opera performers,such as singing,reading and playing,but also a concentrated embodiment of the supreme aesthetic realm of "the unity of man and god" in Chinese opera.This topic is based on the author’s own process of rehearsing the ancient city club of henan opera as an example,starting from the creation basis,refinement and sublimation of the ancient city club,performing and transplanting,cultural traditions and other aspects,and striving to make a systematic interpretation of guan gong’s play as far as possible,so as to further explore the contemporary value of guan gong’s culture.The Henan opera "ancient city meeting" takes the historical events of Guan yu in Chen shou’s "Records of Three Kingdoms " as the basis,the literary interpretation of him in Luo guanzhong’s "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as the structure,and his fine image in the folk legend as the inner character.On the premise of inheriting the fine artistic essence of Guan yu culture from the predecessors of traditional opera,it tentatively highlight its historical,artistic,contemporary and mass nature.The rehearsal of the Henan opera "ancient city meeting",starting from the inheritance of the unique artistic rules and aesthetic characteristics of Guan gong opera,the author analyzes the different emphases of Guan yu’s artistic image in Kunqu opera,Beijing Opera,Anhui opera,Henan opera,Jin opera and Shanxi opera.Drawing on the shining points of Guan yu’s stage image created by Li Hongchun,Hou Shaokui,Zhang Qixiang,Wu Zhong and other predecessors,Guan yu’s stage image was created by integrating the Tang School tune of Henan opera and "mixed singing method" of vocal music as the foothold of Guan yu Aria,thus creating an artistic image featuring freshness,vividness and majesty.To protect Chinese culture is to preserve the root of our nation.As a drama student,learning Duke guan opera is not only a broadening of my own drama path,but also a summary of my learning career for many years.The analysis of Guan yu’s artistic image in the "ancient city meeting" is a transfer from stage performance art to art research,a systematic study of Duke guan’s culture,as well as the inheritance and development of national traditional culture.
