Why does the

Beijing opera is known as the "the quintessence of Chinese culture" on the drama stage of our country. Beijing opera though quilt a lot of persons do not lose strength to spare land praise and flatter , but it more and more moves towards the trend of secluded corner , but is the fact that not competed.
Why had "the
First, the cultural diversification feature of message times, open the space of cultural amusement, have reduced drama space. People may enjoy cultural message more, more shortcutly through various channels , enjoy cultural grain. 60 decade is beginning of 80 decade, the cultural undertakings of our country is still not developed, there are the cultural amusement project of few people, there are film and drama only and some very tiny Suo sport project. Then marquis, drama performance compare heat Luo large scale amusement project, people produce through viewing and admiring drama performance and gathering together to live to exchange , get satisfaction in enjoying the campaign of drama culture. So, the drama culture of beginning of 70 decade gets the welcome of the general public very much, the occupation of drama actor also for people saliva happy road, drama is in the aspect of the cultural and spiritual demand that satisfies people , possess great proportion. After middle period of 80 decade, the cultural undertakings of our country has gotten quick development, various cultural recreational activities go to content from form is rich. Cultural diversification and many shapes, make people for culture recreational activities have got more choice. As the press, television, computer, internet and various singing performances is vigorous to spring up , for people, carrying out cultural amusement have offered more convenient condition. Position characteristic, organization, intermittentance and the concentration of drama performance, have restricted people to enjoy the space of cultural amusement , do not be that people carry out the first selection of spiritual and cultural enjoyment.
Secondly, the subject problem of drama, have also restricted the development of drama( Beijing opera). 70 decade is middle period of 80 decade , is most prosperous period of the development of drama ( especially Beijing opera ). On the one hand, the project of cultural activity of people is more unitary , has offered for drama to possess the stage of absolute advantage. On the other hand, the needs of political situation are that the prosperity of drama has offered the guarantee of ultimacy. At that time, the revolutionary modern Beijing opera that is in fashion for a time is the outcome of political situation needs. First, revolutionary modern Beijing opera has suited the ideology of people. As" the notes of red light" , a list of playses of contemporary theme such as " Sha home Bang ", " cuckoo mountain " and " 81 storms ", meet the educational idea of revolutionary tradition of people. " Long Jiang Song " wait for a list of plays of contemporary subject, accord with people for war day cup land the mental outlook of construction socialism, have formed the unification of drama subject and spiritual demand, so becoming people love culture recreational activities are well received , smooth trip its road. In the later stage of 80 decade , traditional historical a list of plays begins to return to stage, theme of its subject that is selected and is reflected , not is emperor will appearance , is genius and beauty, it is not cheating tactics dispute, is Qing my love entanglement, even if some elephants" 7 article sesame officers" etc. pleads for the people a list of plays, it is too far to be also away from the reality of people life, people can not directly realize or experience from it as fire if Tu life state. At the same time, it is slow that a list of plays of Beijing opera pushes old new speed, have also restricted the pace of its development. A list of plays that people can accept is that stereotyped old loses a list of plays of tooth , have no new Yi. As" Chinese stream" , " dozen golden branches" etc., as soon as developing , it is of more than 20 years , sees to weary. Beijing opera can not be bold to keep close to, reflect and condemn realistic problem, is Gu in the mud of traditional historical subject Nao can not recover , is also resisted by person the one of reason in 1000.
Moreover, the performance position of Beijing opera is narrow. In the past on each fair, day and temple fair are on the stage of countryside , can see the figure of Beijing opera. Now, it is different, various local type of dramas and local plays have first occupied local drama market, Beijing opera is nearly impossible to squeeze to go in. Together with a list of plays of Beijing opera, is limited to by traditional historical subject , lack perspective, original, reality and times , had been more and more neglected and forgotten gradually from the life of people , is expected and the matter in reason. Now only theater of few city has a performance of Beijing opera occasionally, or in the eye of TV festival, can see Beijing opera occasionally , seldom has the opportunity to contact with. The embarrassed case the experience of Beijing opera is that the very defect causes Beijing opera.
Beijing opera walk out of low valley, must carry out the reform of big knife rich axe. One is to throw away outmoded idea , walks out of from unitary traditional historical subject , reflects the process of construction socialism with Chinese characteristics and the realistic life of people. 2 is to quickly push old new pace, create drama constantly , put out a list of plays. 3 is to open up the market of Beijing opera energetically, while occupying city market fully, let Beijing opera go to large countryside region directly meet with masses of peasant friend, train and develop the plenty of fans of Beijing opera. If Beijing opera still wanders in Beijing region or a few of cities or few theater, weep and pity person to corner since is sad, will not have to come forward day. 4 is to suit the realistic needs of people to the maximum extent, to pay attention to ideology requirement and the spiritual demand with present people, keep close to the realistic life of people fully. Otherwise it is far that Beijing opera is away from the reality of people life, even if again why "the quintessence of Chinese culture", can only also stay in literal last and some persons oral go up, receive into historical trip bag.
