  • The war between the rebellious peasants and the imperial army.
    Meng Haigong (farmer general) - Xue Yongkang
    He Tianlong (emperial general) - Lan Yumin
    The plot of this play was made up, and there is neither song nor lyrics throughout. All is depicted by vivid movements, acrobatics and miming. The story is set in 589 AD.
    The name "yandang" comes from the lake of beautiful view on the top of the mountain, where the spreading reed, and the wild geese come and live here in autumn.
    Peking Opera of Shanghai, director: Li Yuru, 1984.

As a practitionner of wushu and fire staff spinning, I like it a lot. It also remembers me of some old Hong Kong cinema scenes i used to love as a teenager.

    Notes of Peking Opera:
    Peking Opera (also known as Peking Opera), Beijing was formerly known as Peking, so it was also called Ping Opera in the Republic of China for a while, and it was one of the Chinese opera types. It is distributed all over the country with Beijing as the center. In the mid-nineteenth century, Peking Opera merged Hui Opera and Han Opera, and absorbed the advantages of Qin Opera, Kunqu Opera, Bangzi, Yiyang Opera, etc. It was formed in Beijing . After its formation, Peking Opera gained unprecedented prosperity in the Qing court. The accent of Peking Opera is dominated by Xipi and Erhuang, mainly accompanied by Huqin, gongs and drums, and is regarded as the quintessence of China.

    A peasant/farmer army led by the good guy against an imperial army led by a sort-of-bad guy? Is this based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He was born a peasant, but from around 1360 to 1368 he gathered and organized huge peasant armies that rebelled against the reigning Yuan Dynasty, comprised of hated Mongol overlords. This tale is highly nationalistic, with the Chinese nation vanquishing foreign rulers and establishing a native dynasty. I wonder if this opera is based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor?

    why the 4-5 flags attached on the back?

    • @betapicts
      @betapicts  4 года назад +17

      In battle scenes, four flags are worn to indicate that the character is fully armed and ready for the battle. Besides being a reference to command flags awarded to generals in the past, they also serve to underscore the general’s authority.
      Flags are thought to have come from history, when generals would give a pennant to their messengers as a token of authority to verify messages. Another theory is that they represent the army behind the general, which involves numbers far too great to appear on stage. (internet)

    This is supposed to be enjoyable? To western eyes, it's just a lot of noise and highly stylized gestures. Compare this to any of the Mozart operas - I know which one I would take!

      @Kath K Thank you for the edification - most interesting. When I was in graduate school pursuing a M.Mus degree, I did a paper on the history of Peking Opera. I found the subject very difficult, but my professor was impressed with my efforts and gave me an A+

      "to western eyes" smh .. dude, you don't like it, we get it. But don't for a second think your opinion is any way representative for other "western eyes" (whatever that means). You could've just written "i don't like it and prefer Mozart" .. instead, well, you sound like a bit of a pr*ck tbh.
