Information: Introduction of Yuan Shihai, a famous Peking Opera artist (with photos).

Yuan Shihai (19 16-2002) was originally named Rui Lin. Beijingers. When I was a child, I entered Fulian City to study drama. He is a beginner and an old student. Later, he changed his face and gave his literary drama to his younger brother Sun Sheng. Because he was smart and eager to learn, he quickly learned the roles of Ma Su in Lost Street Pavilion, Huang Gai and Cao Cao in Hero, and Liu Jin in Famen Temple, and the performance effect was excellent.

After leaving school, Yuan Shihai first took Shang Xiaoyun's class to act and played a supporting role in Nine Songs of the Yellow River Array and Jade Tiger Falling. In order to further study, I worshipped Hao as a teacher and my skills improved day by day. Take Chenghua Society and Ma as examples.

Fufeng Society has cooperated with Ma and Li Shengzao for many years. He and his co-star Farewell My Concubine, the hero of childhood cooking with Li Shengzao and the four sons with Ma became famous dramas at that time.

After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), he joined the China Peking Opera Theatre with Li Chengli, a troupe, 195 1. Since then, Yuan Shihai has arranged and performed traditional plays, such as Stealing Horses and On Heroes. Cooperate with Li to rehearse the river, wild pig forest and whispering horse biography; In collaboration with Li Heceng, he rehearsed Yuan Shihai's Biography, and in collaboration with Li Jinquan, he rehearsed Yuan Shihai's Biography of Visiting Mother Li Kui jy, as well as his plays such as Black Cyclone, Peach Blossom Village and Jiujiangkou.

Yuan Shihai's voice is broad, bright and vigorous, and his unique explosive sound and mellow timbre and application make it sound powerful. The pronunciation is true and clear. He is good at expressing the rich inner changes of his characters with a clear rhythm, such as "Water Board" and "Allegro".

Workmanship is the first achievement of the shelf. The so-called "doing" includes not only the posture frame, but also the posture expression when shaping the characters. Yuan Shihai has both. He is burly, slow and steady, graceful and generous, and pays attention to the perfection of modeling. He depicts the characters in detail, a seemingly ordinary play, but it can grasp the inner activities of the characters and reveal their personality characteristics. For example, in the drama Black Whirlwind, he performed Li Kui jy's performance of seeing the scenery of the water margin. It's a one-man show, with no outstanding dramatic contradictions. "But he excavated the connotation of Li Kui jy's character, thoughts and feelings. From the colorful peach blossoms and the singing of fish and birds, I thought of Wu Yong's poems, but I couldn't recite them. At the same time, I thought that someone ridiculed Liangshan for not having beautiful scenery, and I immediately wanted to beat him up. "(Weng Ouhong's Talk about Peking Opera School) This performance vividly reveals Li Kui jy's simple and straightforward character and clear love-hate relationship.

In 1960s, he played Hatoyama in the modern drama The Red Lantern. He used traditional performance skills, followed the creative principle of starting from life, and used drama performance techniques for reference, and successfully created an unprecedented image of Yukio Hatoyama on the Peking Opera stage. It has made an important contribution to the performance of modern life in Peking Opera.
