First of all, it is the spirit of being people-oriented and close to life. Ancient China is undergoing a historic change. Artists first time, zero distance close to the times, close to life, concerned about the people's suffering, wholeheartedly feel the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom, while providing spiritual support for them to overcome, overcome the difficulties. The plays "Father", "Ballad of the Yellow Earth" and "File of Life", the Meitou drama "Late Blooming Rose", the Qin Opera "The Story of Xijing", the Yu Opera "Fragrant Soul Girl", the burlesque "Gu's Mamma", and the drama "People of the Three Gorges" have the courage of realism to face the huge impact and severe test of the change of the times on the survival, value and emotion of the lower-class people when they deal with realistic themes and conflicts in real life, and show those in real life on the stage. On one hand, it has the courage of realism to face the great impact and severe test of the changes of the times on the survival, values and emotions of the grassroots people, and shows on the stage the unsatisfactory and even difficult scenes in real life, which is saddening; on the other hand, it also lets the best, most glittering and memorable of human nature be presented on the stage in a real way, which gives people hope and the future. Yang Wanshan, an old labor model, remains steadfast in his loyalty to his country and his profession at a time when his whole family is facing layoffs. Song Laoqiu and Song Jianjun lead their family to fulfill their promises and pay off their debts. Qiao Xuemei, a recent graduate, gave up her future to bring up her siblings. Gu's mom has been raising her two abandoned children for decades. Luo Tianfu, a private teacher who comes to Xijing City, sticks to good ethical values and eventually saves his son's cold heart. These plays and characters are not indifferent bystanders to life, but participants full of warm feelings. The young and old jianghu artists who depend on each other in the Sichuan Opera "Changing Faces", the ill-fated little man in the tide of the 1911 Revolution ("Anointed Chapter"), the blind Bing who plays "Reflecting the Moon in the Two Springs", the rural businesswoman whose emotional destiny bumps up against the tides of the times ("Fragrant Soul Woman"), the miner brothers of the Black Rock Ridge, the men and women of the gangue mountain ...... It can be said that It can be said that it is the first time in the history of China's stage art that such a concentration of true and believable artistic models rich in artistic contagiousness and sublime aesthetics have emerged in a short period of history. In the final analysis, the human-centeredness of literary creation is that the initial focus of creation is on the lives of ordinary people, and the final crystallization of creation is the typical characters who are active on the stage with a sense of the times and make people unforgettable.
Secondly, it is the artistic spirit of continuous innovation and advancing with the times. The development of the times inevitably leads to corresponding changes in aesthetic interests and artistic presentation. Although we are also touched by the persistence of artistic traditions, the endless life of art and its essential power lies in the constant innovation of following the times, and in adapting to the audience's aesthetic taste for change. In the creation of high-quality projects, artists go up and down the Yellow Springs, exploring the most refreshing and innovative forms of expression that can make the audience go straight to the bottom of their hearts. In the Yu opera "Chang Xiangyu", the old, middle-aged and young generations of Chang Xiangyu transcend time and space by questioning and clearing up the doubts of the spiritual dialogues, which creatively reproduces the artistic career of a generation of artistic masters "the play is bigger than the sky". The dance drama "Praise for Red Plum" deconstructs the original melodramatic narrative with free-flowing spatial treatment, and romantically and poetically reproduces the noble sentiments of the revolutionary martyrs. The drama Mao Zedong's Thoughts on Xibaipo boldly breaks through the traditional narrative mode that is commonplace on the theater stage with a brand new narrative, thus making the familiar themes and characters rich in the flavor of the times. The traditional acrobatic programs are magnificently transformed and integrated by novel stage technology and overall artistic conception into the acrobatic dramas "Swan Lake", "Hello, Avanti" and "Journey through Space and Time", which combine thrill and beauty in one. Kunqu's "The Palace of Eternal Youth", "Peony Pavilion" and "Dream of the Red Chamber", and Yueju's "Liang Zhu" made new stage interpretations of the classics that inherited the essence of tradition but were also full of modern flavor, which attracted a large number of young audience members who became the new generation of loyal fans of classical Chinese opera. It is also worth noting the innovation and breakthrough of artistic vocabulary. For example, the Peking Opera "Camel Xiangzi" pulls a foreign cart, "Hua Ziliang" picks a load of baskets of body dance. Song and dance "Yunnan Impression" let the original ethnic minority songs and dances blossom in the context of modern choreography. In particular, the singing of the Peking Opera "Ching Guan Event", on the basis of the anti-Erhuang slow plate and the original plate, innovated the anti-Erhuang middle plate "The Moon is like a Hook" which is neither too short nor too drawn out, and it is the duet between Sheng and Jing which is extremely difficult to deal with in terms of the vocal part, which not only accomplished the characterization and plot transformation brilliantly, but also formed the new classic that can be sung. Innovative artistic language and forms of expression, with the creative character of the times, advancing the development and prosperity of the art.
Finally, it is the spirit of pursuing perfection. The excellence project advocates a "play is bigger than the sky" artistic spirit, encourages and recognizes artists in the art of repeated polishing, perseverance, excellence, and strive to reflect the stage art of comprehensive and complete. The Kun Opera "Ban Zhao", which depicts an ancient Chinese female historian who insisted on completing her history in the midst of hardship and ostentation, has been in rehearsal for six years from script to script, with dozens of drafts before and after. The director of the Peking Opera "Ching Guan Event" still has hundreds of revisions in his thick handwritten notes piled up on his desk. In the Kun Opera classics The Peony Pavilion and The Palace of Eternal Youth, artistic excellence is so demanding that the quality of the embroidery on the costumes is meticulously strict. These works, it is in the creative process of continuous polishing, revising and perfecting by the artists that they step by step move towards artistic excellence. In overcoming the artistic difficulties at the same time ignited the artistic highlights, beyond the artistic difficulty of the time to reach a new artistic heights, artistic excellence is essentially the pursuit of artistic excellence in the realm of painstaking efforts.
In the realization of the law of artistic creation, we have begun a "conscious era" with a clear, clear pursuit of cultural ideas. Of course, it should also be sober to see that individual plays are still deficient, there is room to improve processing. In this sense, to obtain the title of excellence is only the starting point for further improvement of the repertoire, rather than the end of the already perfect.
