Chen Yan, the author of the protagonist, is a writer and playwright. He won Cao Yu Drama Literature Award and Wenhua Screenplay Award for three times, and won the first China Literature Award and Wu Cheng'en Novel Award.
Chen Yan worked in literary and art groups for nearly 30 years, and spent half his life dealing with various "horns". It is these experiences that give him a sense of excitement and excitement about life. He had to write about them. He had to write about them.
Among many dramatic works, he is most praised as the "Xijing Trilogy": The Rose that Blooms Late, The Tree Moves Westward and The Story of Xijing. The words "truthfulness", "profundity" and "grounding gas" are the words that give him the most comments, and the protagonist is also a masterpiece about Shaanxi Opera.
The protagonist is a touching book of fate, which tells the whole mental journey of the protagonist Qin Yi 'e from a shepherd boy to the protagonist on the stage of Shaanxi Opera.
"One-track-minded" Qin E memory, stubborn drummer uncle Hu Sanyuan and so on, all the characters appear in front of you so vividly, and the clever use of spoken dialects all reveal the author's writing skills and profound cultural heritage.
It is an opportunity of the times, her unremitting efforts, and the meticulous inheritance and care of countless old artists in Shaanxi that Qin E has grown from a girl who burns a fire in the countryside to a little queen who holds half the sky red. The times are rolling forward, and what remains unchanged is her initial heart for Shaanxi Opera.
Only by practicing "amazing art" can you become a master.
Yi Qin 'e, formerly known as Yi Zhao Di, was later renamed Yi Qin Ge by her uncle. Later, she became famous, and the playwright Qin Bawa helped her change to Yi Qin 'e.
Shaanxi Opera is one of the oldest operas in China, and it is an indispensable spiritual food for the land of Sanqin. All the locals can sing a few words. Every festival is the best time for villagers to indulge in drama.
In Qin people's eyes, Qin opera is a big drama, where the banhu ring. When the gongs and drums are loud, the treble is very sonorous, and its momentum and lofty sentiments are absolutely different from those of the quietly whispered drama.
Qin Yi 'e (Yi Qing 'e), a newcomer to the troupe, knows nothing, has no outstanding performance, is thin and short, does not like to talk, and has no sense of existence at all.
Uncle Hu Sanyuan is a Shaanxi drummer. He loves playing drums, and he is very skilled at playing drums. Unfortunately, for the sake of simplicity, he can't control his mouth or his hands, so he is excluded and suppressed. After an accident, she went to prison herself, and even took Qin Ge into the kitchen to be a fire girl.
It is a response to the sentence "Happiness depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on happiness". Here, she found herself an undisturbed space-the kitchen door. Close the door, no one will disturb her. She can split, bend over and practice her movements and expressions.
Those who achieve great things often have extraordinary willpower and endurance. When encountering difficulties and hardships, it is difficult for ordinary people to persist, and they will choose to give up or escape. Only those who have done one thing can always persist, because persistence can see the dawn.
Yi began to be obsessed with crazy practice after being guided by the old artists of "Salvation School".
After she lit the stove, she first leg press, pressed her legs, and then practiced lifting the top. At that time, the chef thought "the baby is crazy". But she didn't care or say anything, even if she was hurt all over, she had no regrets. She just listens to the teacher and practices hard. With this "stupidity", carefully polish every movement and every point.
In order to practice blowing fire, my head burned into a sheep's tail, my eyebrows burned into a stiff beard, and even the linoleum house where I lived was burned down. I throw up every time I perform.
She just practiced for decades, and then went to the provincial Shaanxi Opera Troupe. She only knows how to practice and fight for a corner, as if it had nothing to do with her, so she went home to practice. Even at the age of 50, she never stopped practicing.
The awl is packed in a cloth bag, and the sharp one will poke out sooner or later, and no one can stop it. Yang Paifeng in Jiao Zan, Li Xueniang in West Lake, and Nine Sisters of Fox in Fox Fairy Robbery are all lifelike and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Not only the land of Qinchuan, but also Zhongnanhai and abroad.
Chen Yan thinks bighorn sheep need a kind of stupidity and clumsiness. Qin Yi, the hero, is such a trait. She hates being called "stupid". If she is stupid, she will be anxious with others, but if she is not "stupid", she will not be immortal or enlightened. This stupidity made her stick to her initial heart, stick to the most essential things of Shaanxi opera, and bring the endless enterprising spirit of Chinese culture to the extreme.
A noble person is an important fulcrum of life.
A shepherd who knows nothing can make such great achievements, naturally thanks to her uncle Hu Sanyuan, as well as four old artists, Mr. Hu, Mr. Mi, Mr. Zhu Tuantou, Mr. Shan Tuantou and Mr. Qin, as well as loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. They care about her, love her, pass on her skills and protect her growth.
Remember that Qin E, whose fate is so bumpy, is unfortunate, and it is lucky to meet so many noble people at an important juncture in life. Help her when she is in trouble, guide her when she is confused, and encourage her when she is confused. She can't live without anyone.
Hu Sanyuan's obsession with drum art and the improvement of four old artists have a great influence on her, and their spirit has become a part of remembering Qin E in a subtle way.
Teacher Qin, always at the low point of her life, sent her elaborate plays, and every protagonist in the play made E sublimate her art.
Some people say that to succeed, you must stand on the shoulders of giants. For Qin Yi, these people are giants and become important fulcrums to support her life.
In our life, we will meet all kinds of people, and the person who helps us the most is the noble.
My parents who gave birth to me and raised me are willing to spend time cultivating teachers, idols and partners on our life path. These are noble people. Meeting a noble person is the fate of our life.
Frustration is the best school to temper people.
The journey of life cannot always be sunny, and setbacks and failures are also part of life.
In the book, Chen Yan designed many hardships in life for the protagonist Qin Yi E.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and once people are famous, they will find trouble. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Some people try their best to win the leading role.
For example, when classmate Chu Jiahe was in the county troupe, she quietly became the protagonist from a girl who lit a fire and stole her sweetheart. She hated Qin Yi E.
When he arrived at the provincial Shaanxi Opera Troupe, Chu Jiahe tried his best to compete with Qin Yi 'e for the leading role and spread all kinds of gossip. During rehearsal, he encouraged his crazy wife to remember Qin E; Several times, I told the story that Qin Yi was almost raped before as a fact, and used it to pour dirty water. Finally, I even hired someone to use the Internet to damage Qin Yi's reputation.
Qin Yi also has resentment and hatred, but she finally overcame these difficulties and defeated those detractors with an unchanging heart that loves art.
He mentioned in the postscript:
"Corner, in fact, is the kind of person who suffers the most in literary and art groups. Of course, honor will follow. Honor is often hated and hated. So the protagonist is always worried about whether he is a man or not. If we can grasp it well, it may get bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more popular; If you can't hold it, it will get worse and worse, and the more you sing, the more you collapse. There are only three kinds of people who can be the protagonists on the stage: one is really artistic and extremely sharp; Second, people who can suffer from the sufferings of the people and practice "amazing skills" can be "masters of the people"; The third is to find love, beat around the bush, and occasionally "climb high and shout."
In real life, there are very few people who have both, such as singing opera and living. What we can grasp is that we study and practice as hard as Qin Yie, and our infatuation will not change.
Su Dongpo left a poem "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of rain and shine". Undoubtedly, it tells us that no one can avoid suffering in life, and those who can bear suffering and resolve it will be reborn.
Therefore, framing, attacking and obstructing has become a kind of motivation, pushing a submissive person to the peak. People who grow up from adversity, the more harm they get from their surroundings, the harder they work, the stronger they squeeze, and the more they can grow in life density and quality.
In retrospect, life is like a play.
The chef in the kitchen should give priority, that is, assign a protagonist; Cow's head and horse's face are also fighting for who comes first, and they also want to fight for a leading role.
Singing opera is never a person's business. Not only does the performance need to be coordinated, but the plot outside the plot is always many times richer than the plot itself. At all times, drama is regarded as a mirror of the times. And this mirror can only see some of them, not all of them.
Role, protagonist, is not a unique life image of stage art. Where is there no role, protagonist and supporting role in life?
The protagonist looks beautiful, charming and dazzling. Behind the scenes, like the stage, life is impermanent.
We are the masters of our own destiny, but we can never control all our own destiny.
Qin Yie, from the beginning, didn't have the consciousness and will to be the protagonist, and even wanted to go back to herding sheep many times. She was born with stage fright and hated being the leading role.
But the times just pushed a child who can bear hardships to the throne of the protagonist step by step.
She has suffered what others can't eat and enjoyed the honor that others can't enjoy; She won the highest honor of singing opera, and also received endless slander from singing opera.
A protagonist means abnormal, restless, difficult to live, restless. To be a leading role, we must learn to endure, endure hardships, sacrifice and contribute.
However, no one always stands on the stage as the protagonist. The alternation between the old and the new is a natural law, and Qin Yi is no exception. Qin Bawa's last play was written for Song Yu, the adopted daughter of E. Although E didn't want to, she had to compromise.
At the end of the novel, Qin Yi forgave himself and everyone. In retrospect, life is like a play, and a play is like life.
The protagonist is the epitome of all sentient beings and the world, and it is a far-reaching fable China Story. During this period, the fate of all kinds of people in the transitional era is in rags, which is thought-provoking and lamentable.
