The Artistic Features of George W. Cui Hua

Cui Hua Jr. is good-looking, with big and beautiful eyes, which seem to talk. As the saying goes, "She has beautiful eyes, but she is smart and smiling." She is slim and her voice is a little hoarse, but she has a deep foundation in singing and can make a loud voice, sending every word to the ears of the audience in the last row. Xiao Cuihua's skill is exquisite, his performance is exquisite, and he deliberately asks for work, so some people say that Mr. Xiao Cuihua's performance is like meticulous painting. His skill of walking on stilts has reached perfection, and it was abolished after liberation, but he is still walking on stilts and has great kung fu.

His every move is well-behaved, highly disciplined and full of classical beauty of women. Some people have made such a comparison between Mr. Xun Huisheng and Mr. Xiao Cuihua in the way and style of performing drama. Judging from the way of drama, Mr. Xun Huisheng is good at playing boudoir Dan and Xiao Dan in Hua Dan, that is, showing a delicate, innocent and lively girl image. So some people say that watching Mr. Xun Huisheng's performance is like watching a snapshot portrait photography, and every smile has a vivid beauty. While Mr. Xiao Cuihua plays a provocative, coquettish and ghostly role in Hua Dan, so he is good at playing a provocative and dissolute female image. But because his performance is full of classical beauty, some people say that watching Xiao Cuihua's performance is like watching an ancient beauty scroll, and every smile has a classical beauty.

The artistic style is mainly exquisite, and the characters portrayed are plump and accurate, which is the most influential school in modern Hua Dan. Xiao Cuihua studied Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera and Bangzi when he was a student, which laid a solid foundation for his footwork, figure and dance. In terms of business, I have also studied the acting skills of Tsing Yi, Hua Shan, Hua Dan and Beijing Opera Blues. He is good at singing, reading, doing things and playing, especially jumping rope. Xiao Cuihua studied under Tian Guifeng and Lu. While inheriting their artistic career, she deeply understood the plot and character, refined her life accurately, drew lessons from the advantages of Kunqu Opera and Bangzi, enriched her performances in many aspects, and constantly broke through innovation, greatly surpassing Tian and Lu in repertoire, business, martial arts and performance. Xiao Cuihua has a hoarse voice in middle age. She is not a singer, but she has great skills in reading white. Although her voice is not high, she can play far and pronounce clearly and forcefully. She is especially good at Beijing white, sweet, soft, spicy and crisp, vivid and vivid. Play a girl to highlight her sweetness, such as "Beating Cherry" and "Cowherd"; Playing a lewd and vicious woman is also very provocative, such as "Sitting on a Building to Kill Cherish". Cui Hua's catwalk is even more amazing. Her trot, trot, kneeling step, and the circle after walking on stilts are light and swift. For example, the footwork depicting ghosts in Hongmeige and Capture Saburo alive is erratic, and the flowing figure gives people a feeling of walking against the wind without touching the dust. In "River of Yin and Yang", the action of "making a decision" on stilts is not only faster and faster, but also the candle in the bucket does not sway and the silk cotton does not move, which shows a high degree of skill. Cui Hua's greatest achievement is his work. He played seriously, showing that the movements of ancient women can be refined by looking for the source in life. His gestures are accurate and beautiful, and he pays special attention to the description of details, such as twisting the thread to feed the chicken in the jade bracelet, which is true and natural. Xiao Cuihua's flapping skills are also very difficult, and her skillful use of hanging hair, scratching her back and hair locks has strengthened her expressive force.

Although his official teacher is Tian Guifeng, he is proficient in Kunqu Opera and Bangzi, and his martial arts are deeply rooted, just like Lu. From the perspective of drama, Yu's exquisite performances of Hua Dan's assassination plays, such as "Sitting on a Building to Kill Cherish" and "Fighting over a City of Wan", are also the enrichment and development after inheriting the "three treasures with sad faces". It is Lu who has the greatest influence on Yu's "Shinohara School" artistic style. He formed his own school, but after he became a Shinohara school, his plays such as Ma Siyuan, Double Nail, Yin and Yang River and the Match of the West Lake are no longer suitable for public performance today, while his plays such as Picking up the Jade Bracelet, Blade of the Iron Bow and Drunk Maids are unique. No matter what the content of "Shinohara School" drama is, his flowery shirt performance art and vigorous Hua Dan art are examples for future generations to learn, which are of great value to absorb, learn from, inherit and enrich.
