The Peking opera is the Chinese culture honored mark

Talks about the Peking opera, talks about the Chinese culture. What is the culture? Some people have studied, more than 200 definitions. I thought that the culture first is nationality's spirit, the different nationality has the different culture, has the different national spirit. Its core is nationality's values, the belief as well as with the language related thinking mode. These abstract connotations are through the cultural carrier, like artistic forms, the scientific payoffs and person's and so on literature, play, music, drawing words and deeds display. , One which of most out of the ordinary several kind of artistic knows in the Chinese most people was the Peking opera. Some people asked that the Peking opera only then more than 200 years history, it can become the Chinese culture the important mark? The Peking opera is not produces baseless, is by China's folk art and the historical story extension, the development, the synthesis becomes. Although its history only then more than 200 years, but if 600 year ago story, it has "Chisang Town"; Before saying 2000 the story, it had "The Fortress Stratagem"; Said that modern the story, it has "Sha Jia Bang". In addition it with the Western opera, ballet and Japanese kabuki entirely different performance form, therefore, said that the Peking opera is the Chinese culture honored mark, is not refined language of the undeserved praise. here I speak one first about Peking opera's small story. when 4 years ago, I also am appointed Information Office of the State Council director, once led the delegation to visit St. Petersburg, celebrates it to construct the city 800th anniversary. We have taken away a present, is one places in the instrument bezel, two feet high, very fine Baogong “the silk person” - - his clothes, his face is completely Peking opera's modelling, the surface like babbit metal, a body healthy tendency. St. Petersburg's mayor and the city leaders in the original office received me in President Putin, I said Baogong's story and the fable, expressed the Chinese upright and never stooping to flattery to, unselfish, the diligence and honesty in managing state affair quality respect. They said: “good image! We must place him the St. Petersburg administration building in the big corridor, lets each Russian officials receive the enlightenment every day.”Russia's television station and newspaper office reporter side in this Baogong looked like interviewed me, in the second day of newspaper's large brush-written Chinese character was, “China has sent an honest official, this to Russia was the most precious gift”. Is a model merely, produces like this big the vibration, we "Chisang Town" have not gone, if has gone, that causes a stir this is bigger! We cut cannot improperly belittle oneself, our Peking opera cannot attend a meeting as a non-voting delegate merely, what it is natural is the Chinese culture presidium member; In the world, it cannot “raise in boudoir nobody knows”, it should the role which hits by the host walk. I have an anxiety to Peking opera's development, in domestic, some young people not too liked probably. This cannot complain them, we disseminate the energy which and the financial resource at the Peking opera the aspect invests are not enough, works hard insufficiently in own reform. The present is material civilization ten thousand li in a day time, automated time, atomic energy time, large-scale jet aircraft's time, Internet's time ......The young people all are arming MP3, MP4, the digital camera, is on-line expert. These run the very quick person to grasp quickly to the new scientific and technical payoffs, are also many to its dependence. We look in the athletic field, the athlete in runs hundred meter time, clothes must take off as far as possible, can only put on the short vest. In jogs along with the material civilization, we ours culture will discard or the culture remain in-situ? Our social progress after all cannot look like in the athletic field jogging, the economy, the technology impels we run forward, cannot discard our traditional culture. The civilized and the cultural definition is very complex, the German philosophers once explicitly separated in the last century with the different definition them: The civilization is and the technology, the scientific and technical payoffs as well as the life style close related manifestation, but the culture is nationality's spirit and the soul. They think in certain time, the civilization and the culture will oppose. Is progressive in our material civilization, how to maintain with the development spiritual civilization. This is I to a Peking opera's anxiety, how to dispel melancholy? Only has promotion - - us first to at the domestic promotion Peking opera, the fertile soil which the cultivation Peking opera grows.
