Opera in the Ming Dynasty was an art developed on the basis of Southern Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and Zaju in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, including legendary operas and Zaju.
Legend opera is also called Nanqu opera because it developed from Nan opera.
It was the main form of opera in the Ming Dynasty.
During the Wanli period, legendary creation reached a climax and its forms became more abundant.
Famous works include Gao Lian's The Story of the Jade Hairpin and Zhou Chaojun's The Story of the Red Plum.
Shen Jing of Wujiang and Tang Xianzu of Linchuan were the most important playwrights of this period.
There are 17 kinds of legends written by Shen Jing, including The Story of the Righteous Hero and The Story of the Red Lotus.
The Wujiang School headed by him attaches great importance to music and rhythm in its creations, emphasizing the true nature of the opera language and maintaining the status of Kunqu Opera.
Tang Xianzu's handed down works include Purple Hairpin Chronicles, The Peony Pavilion, Handan Chronicles and Nanke Chronicles, which are known as the "Four Dreams of Yumingtang".
Among them, The Peony Pavilion has the highest achievement.
Now Zhu Youxiao's practice of publishing articles and refining pens has caused a large number of folk opera artists to submit their works in order to be published.
A large number of students from the opera class in Sun Moon Hall are responsible for reviewing these works and selecting some works that they think are good.
After being reviewed by worshipers such as Wu Bing and Fan Wenruo in Sun Moon Hall, they feel that there is no big difference in conception.
If there is a problem, then it can be printed.
After the work is published and the retouching fee is paid to the original author, the original author needs to sign a creative rights transfer agreement.
The author stated that the rights to adapt this work already belong to Dai Ming Ri Yue Tang.
Riyuetang will recommend some of the legends, dramas, novels and other works that are more in line with His Majesty's requirements to the Emperor.
After Zhu Youxiao carefully selected, he marked some of the points that needed to be changed, or added some ideological content that he needed, and Riyuetang revised them, so that they could be rehearsed by the opera class director, like Zhongzhen This is how the general came to be.
Zhu Youxiao would also tell some of his thoughts to the hall master in the Sun and Moon Hall.
After Zhou Yanru went to America, the current hall master was Fan Wenruo.
He received the request from Zhu Youxiao and then returned to the Sun and Moon Hall.
Start organizing people to write and arrange.
For example, Zhu Youxiao wanted to promote widow remarriage and let women control their own destiny, so Riyuetang wrote a script: During the Han Dynasty, Wang Ao bravely divorced because she was abused by her husband, and then met the then prince Liu Qi. , the two fell in love, and finally gave birth to the famous Han Wu Emperor Liu Che.
Although it may not be consistent with historical facts, it is just a drama and there is no restriction on writing it based on historical facts.
After the play spread, it also caused some reactions.
Some more enlightened parents occasionally consulted the opinions of the parties involved when arranging marriages.
Although the influence is not great, Zhu Youxiao believes that the so-called subtle influence is his purpose.
After General Loyalty, the second play rehearsed by the Royal Grand Theater is Liaodong Chronicle, which tells the story of the suffering experiences of a family of five in Anshan Station, Liaodong.
After the Battle of Saerhu, the Jiannu captured Anshan Station.
Because his father was unwilling to cooperate with the Jiannu, he and his mother were killed by the Jiannu.
The eldest son fled Anshan and went to southern Liaoning, but the second son voluntarily shaved his head and joined the Jiannu in order to save his six-year-old brother.
The eldest son fled to Jinzhou, joined the Guards, and grew from an ordinary soldier to the Guards battalion commander.
He never dared to forget the blood feud in his family, and always thought about going back to his hometown to seek revenge from Jiannu.
The second son's original intention was to save his younger brother, but he didn't want Jiannu.
He first asked the two brothers to make dressings, and then killed his younger brother when there was insufficient food in order to save a ration.
The second son gave in again and again, but in the end he did not have the courage to fight against Jiannu who killed his younger brother.
Instead, he became Jiannu's accomplice and squeezed the Han people in Anshanyi together.
When the Guards attacked Anshan, the second son was captured by the Guards where the eldest son was.
When brothers meet, they cry while talking about the experiences of their parents and younger brother.
However, after the Jinyiwei investigation, they discovered the second son's evil deeds and wanted to arrest the second son for interrogation.
The eldest son did not believe that his younger brother would do such a thing, so he refused to let him go and had a conflict with Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei brought the witnesses one by one to the eldest son.
The eldest son woke up after hearing the witnesses' cries.
He asked his younger brother: "Have you forgotten the hatred of your parents?
Have you forgotten who killed your little brother?"

The second son was silent, and the guard in Jinyi next to him said: "People, you can't give in in the face of some things.
After you give in once, you will definitely give in a second time.
Slowly, when you encounter something, you will first think of it."
Go back.
Regarding Jiannu's evil deeds, if every Han chose not to give in and ran away, or if they couldn't escape, they destroyed their livestock, destroyed their farm tools, and burned their grain, then Jiannu might have been punished long ago.
Destroyed.
Kind people, please remember this lesson."
This drama has caused many people to think about what we should do when faced with major issues of right and wrong.
The second son wanted to protect his younger brother and surrendered to Jiannu.
The starting point was good, but the result turned out to be like this because he had illusions about Jiannu, but he did not expect that seeking skin from a tiger would be impossible.
The third play at the Royal Theater is The Story of Yingying, which is an adaptation of the very familiar Romance of the West Chamber.
In fact, when it comes to the original work, it was called The Story of Yingying when Yuan Zhen wrote it.
The biggest difference between this play and Yuan Zhen's The Legend of Yingying and Wang Shifu's Romance of the West Chamber is the ending.
Yuan Zhen's ending is that Zhang Sheng started to be in trouble and finally gave up, while Wang Shifu's ending is that everyone is happy.
In the play, it was Cui Yingying who took the initiative to divorce Zhang Sheng because she found that Zhang Sheng did not actually love her, so she bravely chose to leave.
Then I met a small businessman who was poor but sincere.
After experiencing something together, the two developed a good impression.
After getting married, the small businessman and his wife worked hard together and lived a good life.
This play was revised according to Zhu Youxiao's request.
Wu Bing, Fan Wenruo and others felt that the revision was a failure.
The emperor just wanted to use this play to promote that women should control their own destiny, and at the same time, take the opportunity to improve businessmen's status.
But in Zhu Youxiao's view, drama must of course have a theme, and promoting true goodness and beauty, isn't that the purpose of art?
Wouldn't it be better if you could incorporate some of your own ideas into it?
After the Royal Theater was built, a new play was launched every once in a while.
These plays more or less incorporate what Zhu Youxiao wants to express, such as keeping in order and queuing up, and not insulting other people's family members.
These concepts are either bluntly or smoothly mixed into the drama, slowly.
Disperse slowly
