If there is a feeling of superiority, it is just a self-perception of those who don't like or know the theater.
But there are, the joy does not show in color, that is a great creation. Otherwise, all day long in front of the people to pose, light by the resentment, heavy people say that the nerves have a problem.
To think differently, a person in front of you address some of the things that have nothing to do with themselves, and even resentment. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty and get out of the way of the world.
Peking Opera is an elegant art (which should be differentiated from aristocratic art). It's not something that anyone would accept, which means you're ahead of the curve in this area, and that's a good thing. But you must not show off and show off. Just accept it by osmosis. Being subjected to theater for a long time creates subtle changes, which will show up in one's temperament.
A: I think I can only say that friends like Beijing opera, is their obsession with the art of Beijing opera, like modern Chinese old ladies like to dance, just a hobby, there is no superiority, can only be regarded as a method of self-entertainment, because, now, like the art of Beijing opera, fewer than the poor.
Tell a story, our village every year held a summer cool evening cultural week, dancing and singing on the stage of the actors and actresses everyone likes, can get applause, and the old Peking Opera actors on the stage, the audience did not spontaneously applauded, if you can sing a section of the revolution of modern Peking Opera samples, you can also get some applause, if you sing the old Peking Opera, the secretary is to let the following applaud, or else there is no applauding like.
This is the first time I've ever seen a Peking opera.
Therefore, friends who like Beijing opera, said that there is a sense of superiority, to say that there is a sense of coldness. And they are because they like, and the existence of a sense of superiority, is from where? This is the national essence of Beijing opera art of pandering, we do not understand the Beijing opera layman, will never be able to appreciate, the Beijing opera art of spiritual pandering feeling, it can be seen, like the Beijing opera friends superiority comes from, the Beijing opera art of aspiring to pursue, comes from the Beijing opera itself, the traditional cultural excellence.

Of course there is a sense of superiority, because the Beijing opera is a national essence, is the old ancestors left behind the cultural treasure is also a representative of traditional culture.
The subject is a personal idea, right? Like Beijing opera is nothing more than a carrot and cabbage each have their own favorites, how to talk about the sense of superiority? Like what opera is just a hobby, I like both Peking Opera and like commentary, and Huangmei Opera, commentary, according to you that I should be full of superiority ah! I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Like anything, should not produce a sense of superiority. The fact that you like it only means that you agree with it doesn't mean that you are proficient in it. In today's weak traditional culture, if one is proficient in Peking Opera, it is really worth a big thumbs up!
Traditional culture and art is profound, the more you like it, the more obsessed you are, the more you realize that there is an inexhaustible amount of wisdom and learning from your ancestors, and the more you know, the more confident you are, and the source of confidence is the recognition of traditional culture and art.
Like belongs to a kind of emotion, how can there be superiority?
Undeniably, some of the niche boutique art, their fans, in the psychological is a sense of superiority. For example, fans of rock music, fans of popular songs have a sense of superiority, the chain of musical contempt is objective, like the Beijing Opera, will also have a sense of superiority.
Like Peking Opera can understand Peking Opera, Peking Opera is undoubtedly a fine art, to understand Peking Opera's basic have a few qualities.
First, historical knowledge. Peking Opera is basically the history of a dynasty of characters, see a play, even if you did not understand the history, after watching the play will more or less understand some, see more, will take the initiative to understand the history of the emperor and the generals, the talented and beautiful, loyal and filial, treacherous and sycophantic, Peking Opera a lot.
Second; literary literacy, Peking Opera singing a lot of beautiful words, can be treated as poetry to appreciate, often listen to often sing, naturally will be inculcated, the so-called belly with poetry from the gas, that is, we look at the Peking Opera artists to throw their hands and feet are so elegant, but also related to this kind of inculcation.
Third: the value of punishing the evil and promoting the good, Peking Opera is about face painting, the bad guys are outlined from the costumes and face painting, the loyal officials and filial piety are respected by everyone, Peking Opera carries our 5,000 years of moral tradition.
Fourth: artistic cultivation, Peking Opera's singing, reading, playing, playing and pulling, every place has its own instructions, rules and standards. Shengdan clean end ugly, each has its own way of performing, from clothing and props, to singing body, clear distinction, many schools, the four famous Dan, four sousen, etc., each work of each school, have his unique features, each with its own characteristics.
Fifth, the cultural connotation of the Peking Opera, each prop, each set of clothing, each action, each name, can reflect the traditional Chinese culture, and even the martial arts field, each section of the song, have a provenance, there is to say that the most comprehensive reflection of the traditional Chinese culture is the art of Peking Opera, why the Peking Opera is known as the national essence, lies in this.
You want to like the Peking Opera, not overnight success, he is not fast food art, want to sit down and listen to it, the need for quality and cultivation, can appreciate the Peking Opera, are equipped with a variety of cultivation of people, many of these people, but will not make a lot of noise.
Some people say that Beijing opera has fallen, in fact, not, Beijing opera relative to the Republic of China is to listen to fewer people, mainly at that time, less entertainment programs, only opera and opera, acrobatics, etc. belongs to the entertainment, and now it is full of tricks, crowd diversion, Beijing opera is not in the mass dissemination of the arts, he has become a boutique niche art, the charm of the Beijing Opera lies in the rhythm, slow rhythm, many people are now being driven by the fast pace of life, no time, no energy, no time, no energy, no time, no energy, no time, no time, no energy. The Peking Opera is not a popular art, and it has become a boutique and niche art.
But the people who like Beijing opera, have always existed, and will not die out, we look at those in Beijing, Tianjin, a few theaters, but also hard to find, into the theater of Beijing opera and into the theater of comedy, into the concert theater, from the atmosphere is not the same, listen to the theater, and listen to the people of the comedy, the behavior is different.
People who like Peking Opera, in today's society, can still quietly listen to the babbling Erhuang, to a small extent, they are spiritual aristocrats, to a large extent, it is our cultural self-confidence, so their sense of superiority is there.
As a Beijinger to see this problem a little want to laugh, like the Peking Opera why there will be a sense of superiority, is it because compared to today's popular music is more clear and vulgar? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular music in the world, and you'll be able to do that. Is it because watching a Peking Opera is a luxury? No ah, CCTV Opera Channel regardless of whether it is raw Dan clean end ugly plays can be watched for free ah, even if you go to the trip to the Mei Lanfang Theater to see a play is not expensive ah. Is it because you like Peking Opera that you can stand out from the crowd? But Peking Opera can be considered one of the most popular forms of opera, can not really be considered non-mainstream.
The purpose of saying so much is to tell you that Peking Opera is the same as commentary, drum book, comedy, pop music, etc. It is a common hobby when you like it, a common specialty when you are skilled at it, and a common career when you are engaged in it, and there is nothing special about it.
The feeling of superiority is just a little bit of self-improvement and small achievements in your own heart, that's all, no more. Why do you feel this way? First of all there is no denying it. In the current literary environment, opera is a niche entertainment compared to pop music However, just like the Beijing Opera to think different that can be a little too naive. From the 1790 Hui class into the Beijing derived from the Beijing Opera this kind of music, to now also has more than 200 years of history, which has experienced how much inheritance and change, from the simple four basic skills singing, reading, doing and playing, and then to the four sousheng, the four famous dan, the four big flower face, to distinguish between the different variations and charm, that is not a shallow taste will be able to comprehend, without a few years, more than ten years, or even a couple of decades of immersion efforts, is impossible to distinguish between such subtleties, that is, to distinguish between the different styles, the different styles, the different styles, the different styles, the different styles, the different styles. Without a few years, ten years or even decades of immersion, it is impossible to distinguish such subtleties, and at that time, you will have a sense of superiority again, it is not impossible. Of course, all the skills after such a long time of in-depth study, there will be a very deep tasting attainment.
If you are a veteran, there is nothing wrong with having a sense of superiority, but if you only know the skinny and have a sense of superiority, then I think you need to correct your attitude.
