Library of Yue Opera "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

The lyrics of the Yue Opera "Dream of Red Mansions" are as follows:

(Chorus behind the scenes) I can't see all the rich spring flowers in my eyes, and I can't finish my words of flattery. Who knows that there is someone else in the garden, secretly spreading flowers? Tears bury fallen flowers.

(Lin Daiyu sings) Walk around the green embankment, brush the willow silk, and walk through the flower path, listening to the plaintive sound of the flute and the wind. People say that the Grand View Garden is like spring all year round, but in my eyes it is just a city of sorrow. Watch the wind pass by and see the red leaves forming arrays. The peonies are weeping their peonies, fearing that the begonias will be frightened.

The willows bear sorrow and the peach blossoms bear hatred. These flowers are as oppressed as human beings. Who knows the sound of my one-inch heart, who knows the sound of my seven strings? I will only pity the orangutan for the same disease, and will not teach you to fall into the mud and be ravaged. And I gathered up the souls of peaches and plums, and built my own incense grave to bury the fallen heroes.

The flowers are falling and flying all over the sky, the red flowers are disappearing and the fragrance is gone, who can pity us? Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the frost, the sword force each other. How long can the bright and fresh beauty last? It is hard to find it once it is wandering.

It’s hard to keep the soul of a flower and the soul of a bird. The bird is speechless and the flower is ashamed. May I have wings today and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky. Where is the fragrant hill at the end of the sky? It is not like a brocade bag to collect beautiful bones, but a handful of pure soil to cover up the wind. The essence comes and goes clean again, and it does not lead to filth and sinking into ditches.

Now I am burying flowers and people are laughing like idiots. I don’t know who they are when they are buried. Once the beauty is gone in spring, the flowers will fall and people will die.

The most important reason why this libretto of "Flower Burial" can touch people's hearts is that she organically combines the fate of "flowers" with the fate of "people" in "Flower Burial", writing both "flowers" and "people" "", both "people" and "flowers" are written. "Flowers" and "people" are integrated here, seamlessly.

One of the combinations of "flower" and "human" in the lyrics is that "human" comes first and then "flower".

If you say, "Walking around the green embankment, brushing the willow silk, and crossing the flower path/Listen to the plaintive flute and the sound of the wind/People say, Grand View Garden, the four seasons are like spring/In my eyes, it is just, "A City of Sorrow" writes about the activities and feelings of "people", then, "Look at the wind passing by, the fallen reds form a formation/The peonies are fading, the peonies are afraid, the crabapples are frightened/The willows are sad, and the peach blossoms are filled with hatred" writes about "flowers" feelings.

But the two are an indivisible whole. The clue between "people" and "flowers" is "this flower is bullied like a person", which makes people see. There is no trace of any intrusion, it can be said to be a matter of course.

Origin of the name:

"Yue Opera" originated from "Floating Singing", and was later called "Women's Class", "Shaoxing Women's Literary Opera", "Dedu Class", "Caotai Troupe", "Song Troupe", "Shaoxing Drama", "Shaoxing Literary Opera", "Mao'er Little Song Troupe", "Shao Opera", "Sheng Opera", "Shan Opera", etc. It was called "Yue Opera" for the first time. On September 17, 1925, "De Du Ban" performed at the Little World Amusement Park was called "Yue Opera" for the first time in the "Shenbao" advertisement.

Since 1938, most theater troupes and theater groups have been called "Yue Opera". However, the titles in various theater newspapers are still inconsistent, and reporters and contributors often use their own terms.

In 1939, "Ta Kung Pao" reporter Fan Dimin, who was also the director of Yao Shuijuan's "Yue Yin Stage", was inspired by Li Bai's "Yue Nu Ci" and considered that Shaoxing was the place where King Gou Jian of Yue gathered lessons to defeat Wu. The revival base, and Shengxian County, the birthplace of Yue Opera, is one of the Shaoxing dynasties. He was also touched by the famous Yue opera actress Yao Shuijuan's heroic words "I just want to sing louder, higher and farther," so he gave Ru Boxun The editor of "Drama News" wrote an article and published an article on the motivation and significance of the name "Yue Opera" to inform the audience.

Since then, the advertisements for "Women's Literary Opera" in various newspapers have been gradually renamed as "Yue Opera". After the founding of New China, it was even called "Yue Opera".

Because Yue Opera was named "Shaoxing Opera" and "Shaoxing Literary Opera" in the early stage, there is a saying that Yue Opera is called "Shaoxing Opera". In fact, it was because there was no name for "Yue Opera" at that time and "Shaoxing Opera" was used. It is called "Shaoxing Opera", but "Yue Opera" is not actually "Shaoxing Opera".

However, due to incorrect transmission, the word "Shaoxing Opera" also appears in the translation of the Yue Opera title. However, formally speaking, the translation of the title of "Yue Opera" should be "Yue Opera" (sometimes translated as "YueJu Opera"). This title has been widely used in professional books and official documents on Yue Opera, and has also been accepted by newspapers and media. And used it, and the mistaken translation of "Shaoxing Opera" that day became a history.
