At that time, there were many reports and comments in Two Newspapers and One Publication, which were called "revolutionary model operas" or "eight revolutionary model operas" for the time being, and listed the following lists: Peking Opera "The Red Lantern", "Taking the Tiger Mountain", "Shajiabang", "Harbor", "Surprised White Tiger Troupe" and ballet "Red women soldiers".
At that time, people often seemed to understand the resounding title of "Model Opera", even the screenwriter Wang Zengqi of "Model Opera" was no exception. After learning that "model" is the name of a model somewhere, he thinks that the meaning of "model opera" doesn't make sense. It can be seen that the word "model" is difficult to define, and its extended meaning is far-fetched, whether it is "model" or "sample", "demonstration" or "experiment" added now.
Incredibly, although model operas are very popular and highly respected, people generally don't know that there are at least 20 kinds. Because the words "eight model operas" and "eight model operas" are even more popular than "model operas". The two spoken words of that year finally evolved into pseudo-historical terms, that is, learning is wrong and not observing is wrong.
In fact, except those who are interested in literature and art, people are not familiar with all the model operas, and there are at most eight masterpieces that people are generally familiar with and easy to recall, such as Peking Opera, The Story of the Red Lantern, Taking the Tiger Mountain Outward, Shajiabang, Harbor, The Surprise of White Tigers, Song of Longjiang, Du Fu Mountain, Ballet Red Female Soldiers and White-haired Girl.
