Peking Opera (Beijing Opera), is one of the oldest forms of dramas(戏剧) in the world. The roles(角色) in it were Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou, Wuhang, and Longtao during its early age. But with the change of Peking Opera, there are four main roles in it today: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.
Sheng——Men Roles
Sheng are the men roles in Peking Opera, which can be divided into Laosheng, Wusheng, Xiaosheng and Wawasheng.
Laosheng are middle-aged or older men who are honest. Hongsheng,a type of Laosheng, have a red face. There are only two roles famous as Hongsheng. One is Guan Gong and the other is Zhao Kuangyin. Wusheng are young generals(将军) who are good at martial arts(武术). Xiaosheng are clean-shaven(没有胡须的) and handsome. Wawasheng are children's parts.
Dan——women Roles
Dan are women roles that can be divided into different types——Laodan, Qingyi, Huadan, Wudan and Caidan.
Laodan play old and clever women. Qingyi are the main women roles. Huashan, a type of Qingyi, was created by Mei Lanfang, who played an important role in shaping Peking Opera. Huadan are lively and unmarried women roles. Wudan characters are women, good at martial arts. Caidan are clowns(小丑) in funny plays.
Jing——Painted Face Men Roles
A Jing role is an important man character with striking(吸引人的) looks and high social position. The main types of Jing are Tongchui, good at singing and usually a general; Jiazi, good at acting with less singing; and Wujing, a martial arts and acrobatics(杂技) role.
Chou——Comedy Roles
Chou are comedy(喜剧) roles in Peking Opera. There are Wenchou who speak, act and sing, and Wuchou who both speak and fight. What makes this type of role special is a small patch(块) of white chalk around the nose. One of the famous roles is the Monkey King, who has a special position in the hearts of all who are interested in Chinese opera.
Read the play and answer the questions. Place: A child's room with white walls, a white chair, and a white bed. On the bed, there are some clothes. Character: A doll, who looks old and dirty, is sitting on the bed and speaking. The doll: She should be here soon. We will play some games today. (Three hour pass. NO ONE knocks on the door.) The doll: Just a few more seconds. We might play “try-on-new-clothes” today. (Five hours go by. NO SOUND is heard.) The doll: Maybe the school bus is late. Soon she'll be here, and we'll sing and dance together. (One day has flown away. The doll is still sitting on the bed, waiting.) The doll: Maybe tomorrow… I'm sure she'll come tomorrow, and then we'll play. (There in the room, the doll repeats the same story every day… ) |
