Art Appreciation

Literati carving words and phrases in the theater text does not seem to have been put to use, which is a sign of the distinction of the local theater from the great elegance of the Kunqu. For example, in the opening scene of "The Pairing of Heavenly Fairies", the fairies in the sky peep at the earth, and compared to the heaven where the clouds cover the fog and the fairies are far away, the ordinary days of "fishing, woodcutting, plowing, and reading" on earth are full of poetry in the eyes of the fairies.

The seven fairies sing the most beautiful praises of the life of "fishing, woodcutting, plowing, and reading", which is highly appreciated by the readers of the "Seven Women's Four Praises", "Four Praises" in natural terms. The "four praises" are natural, not sculpted, not using canon, not ancient, is the standard folk song body, mentioning folk songs.

Often the general reader will produce slang associations, this section of the play has elegant and vulgar, but the creator of the play in the vulgar and elegant scale is quite careful, according to the identity of the characters to grasp the "elegant" and "vulgar" standard, skillfully blend elegant in the vulgar, thus elevating the play to the level of elegant and vulgar. The movie is a great example of this.

The Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden and the Seven Immortal Women of Dong Yong are not the same story

Not the same story. The Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden is a mythological story, while the Pairing of the Celestial Immortals is a mythological novel.

The Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden is a very old mythological story, which was circulated earlier than the formation of the Tanabata Festival.

As early as the ancient times, the ancients were aware of the celestial phenomenon of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden. There are existing written records of the Cowherd and Weaving Maiden astronomical star area corresponding to the geographic region of the earliest in the Han Dynasty historical records, "Han Shu - Geography": "Guangdong (Yue) land, the cow (Cowherd), wu female (Weaving Maiden) of the field, the present day, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozui, nine true, South China Sea, the day south are all Guangdong points also."

The long mythological novel "Tian Xian Matching", mainly about the beautiful and kind-hearted seven fairies fell in love with the simple and honest young man Dong Yong, privately from the heavenly court down to the mortal world, breaking through the obstacles and Dong Yong married, the Jade Emperor learned of the fury of the Jade Emperor, ordering the seven fairies to return to the heavenly court at once, the seven fairy in order not to make Dong Yong hurt, had to hold back the grief, under the acacia tree and Dong Yong sobbed goodbye story.

(5) The story of Dong Yong and the Seven Immortals extended reading:

"Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden" origin:

"Weaving Maiden", "Altair" two words in the text, the earliest appeared in the poem "Da Dong" in the Classic of Poetry. The Weaving Maiden and Altair in the poem are just the names of two constellations in the sky, and there is no relationship between them.

By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Anonymous created the "nineteen ancient poems", there is a "a long way to Altair", from which can be seen, Altair, Weaving Maiden has been a pair of mutual admiration of the lovers, but the poem has not identified them as husband and wife. In the written record, the earliest called the cowherd and the weaving maiden as a couple, should be the North and South Dynasties period of the Liang Dynasty's Xiao Tong compiled the "Selected Writings".

One of the "Luoshen Fu" in the notes said: "Altair for the husband, the weaving woman for the woman, the weaving woman pulling the cow star each place beside the river drums, the seventh day of the seventh month is to get a meeting." At this time, the story of "Cowherd and Weaving Maiden" and the plot of the Tanabata meeting, has taken shape, by the two stars in the sky, the development of husband and wife.

But in the imagination of the ancients, the couple in the sky and the couple on earth are basically the same, so the story has not been any tragedy. As for why Altair and Vega have to be in the "July 7 is to get a meeting"? The original text does not explain. According to later speculation, on the one hand, it may be that the stars are the brightest in the sky in the night of July every year, and the two stars of Altair and Vega are closer to each other.

On the other hand, July 7 is the folk custom of "begging" days, and the working people are the weaver as a laborer, and therefore can be in the "ten days, weaving Juan hundred pi", they will be "begging" to her! "The day of the weaver's weaving is the day when the working people regard the weaver as a capable laborer. Thus, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden and the folk custom were combined together. With the passage of time, this story continues to enrich and develop.

The legend of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden and the "Tanabata" originated in the sky and the stars. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were records of "Cowherd" and "Weaving Maiden" in "Shijing - Xiao Ya - Da Dong". Here, the Weaving Maiden, Altair and the two stars are only as a natural star image leads to a metaphorical association, and there is no storyline.

At this point, they only as a cultural factor, began to enter the literature of this system. It is this "factor" that prepares the potential cultural conditions for the generation of the legend. Wang Yi's "Chu Rhetoric", Volume 17, "Keeping the Will": "Lift up the sky to cover up the evil, enough sky to arc and shoot at the treacherous." Expressed the cowherd and weaving maiden marriage.

East Han Dynasty Cui Banquet, "Four People's Monthly Order," "July 7, the river drum (Altair astronomical name), the Weaving Goddess two stars when the meeting." From the above materials, it can be seen that people have gradually attached a love story to the two stars that are far apart, the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden.

"Nineteen ancient poems" preferred to reveal this information, where the Altair, Vega two stars have been characterized, Vega misses Altair all day long, eager to see each other, and "a water, pulse not to speak". From then on, it was woven into a scene of love for a loving couple suffering from the pain of isolation of the love tragedy.

"Tianxian Matching" is a traditional classic of Huangmei Opera:

"Tianxian Matching" is an ancient Chinese mythological love story. The original is an old book circulating in the folklore, which was first adapted in 1951 by Ban Youshu of Anqing Culture Center, in which a "road encounter" took part in the first East China Drama Festival and won the Grand Prize.

Ban Youshu's adaptation of the long folk book into seven, change the seven fairies ordered to come down to earth for the initiative to come down to earth, change the Dong Yong scholar for the working people, change the Fu Wai Fu good man for the bully landlord, in short, simplify the complexity of the formation of the "Tianxian with the basic framework of the book.

Ban Youshu was a graduate of the Chinese Department of Anhui University before the liberation of China, specializing in classical poetry, and when he adapted the "Pairing of Heavenly Immortals", he filled in many of the lyrics with classical poems, laying the foundation for the modern "Pairing of Heavenly Immortals". Later, Lu Hongfei borrowed Ban Youshu's adaptation book and adapted it again on this basis, but basically did not go beyond the framework that Ban Youshu had already laid down.
