【古琴GuqinX昆曲Kunqu Opera】《牡丹亭·皂罗袍》The Peony Pavilion --Tang Xianzu, known as Oriental Shakespeare

[@Zideqinshe]

曲谱在自得琴社微信公众号后台 【旦】不到园林,怎知春色如许！ Du Liniang: If I had not come to the garden, how could I have tasted the beauty of spring! 【皂罗袍】 （To the tune of Zaoluopao） 【旦】原来姹紫嫣红开遍， Du Liniang: The flowers glitter brightly in the air, 似这般都付与断井颓垣。 Around the wells and walls deserted here and there. 良辰美景奈何天， Where is the “pleasant day and pretty sight”? ​便赏心乐事谁家院！ Who can enjoy “contentment and delight”? 【合】朝飞暮卷， The clouds at dawn and rain at dusk, 云霞翠轩, The bowers in the evening rays, 雨丝风片， The threads of shower in gales of wind, 烟波画船。 The painted boat in hazy sprays. 锦屏人忒看的这韶光贱！ All are foreign to secluded maids

[@李存勖-n5z]

首先呢，建国之后不许成精。所以我不可能是李存勖。昆曲出现于元末，而牡丹亭成曲于明，16世纪末，所以是在李存勖之后的六七百年，李存勖本人肯定是不会知道这个东西的，更谈不上喜欢。唐朝时主要戏曲为歌舞戏和参军戏。李存勖本人喜欢歌舞戏，代表如踏摇娘和兰陵王，我本人揣测，李亚子对于踏摇娘应该是极为喜欢和熟悉的。

[@Diogeno]

Let’s not get it twisted: 1.Tang Xianzu being called the Oriental Shakespeare really diminishes his body of work and reinforces the stereotypes that the Eastern Arts are lesser than its white counterparts. 2. Comparing these two is like apples to oranges, they are both doing completely different styles and techniques.

[@pablohernandez2040]

couldn't have said it better!!!!

[@violinpracice6440]

Partially agreed. I do feel quoting 'Shakespeare' or other similar measures are somehow represents the ignorance of people from a foreign culture (not necessarily a white culture) because people normally spend little time to try to understand and distinguish different things outside their culture. But this is just so common and it is hard to imagine how would I be able to communicate without these convenient English references. e.g. pancake, dumpling, curry.

[@olichan4837]

Diogeno Exactly!

[@pirimpallopirimpalli4932]

Well, he's been called that for decades, it's not really this titler's idea. But of course it's quite derivative...

[@men_del12]

To be honest, I do had mind they called him that because he seems like the later representative of Kun Qu opera (like Shakespeare in West but more to drama). But seeing your comment makes more sense perhaps since they really are different (in style, languages, etc.) so yeah, perhaps we need to make distinguishment between those.

"The Peony Pavilion (Chinese: 牡丹亭; pinyin: Mǔdān tíng; Wade-Giles: Mu-tan t'ing), also named The Return of Soul at the Peony Pavilion, is a romantic tragicomedy play written by dramatist Tang Xianzu in 1598, and the plot was drawn from the short story Du Liniang Revives For Love. It depictes a love story between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, overcomes all difficulties, transcending time and space, life and death, and finally get together. Different from the short story, in Tang' s play, it is a dynamic integration of the legendary and the reality in Ming Dynasty. Scenes of love in dreams, Du Liniang's revival, or any supernatural element seem absurd in play, but it reflects the sprout of humanism, through protagonists' strong desire and unremitting pursuit of free love, and uncovers the degeneracy of the society under feudalism at that time.

好优雅的歌曲。我之前对昆曲与京剧没太多兴趣，有可能是因为不喜欢戏曲内某些乐器的刺耳声色，但是你们的古琴、嗓子编曲成功表明了昆曲歌基本的美，在人心中留下了深刻的印象。谢谢你们的这一个介绍。希望能听见多一些这样的编曲。👏

im mostly used to hearing male opera singers, which is beautiful, but i must say, hearing female singing opera was like listen to the heavenly

娓娓唱来的声音 配上古琴 真的是好棒的想法

[@louifeel]

我不懂昆曲或者任何古曲，平时也不常听歌，更分不清那些大咖和半壁江山。但是这里让我发自内心的安逸。声美，乐美，灵魂美。

[@erikchengmo]

前兩遍聽覺得聽不懂，但是多聽幾遍以後發現唱得很好，也逐漸感受到了崑曲唯美的味道，尤其是角色聲音的抑揚頓挫很有故事感與詩意。

The title is what caught my attention, because peonies were my mother's favorite flower. She surrounded the yard with peonies and decorated graves with them. She died in 1998 and I live in the home she purchased thirty years earlier. Peonies are still growing here.The imagery is beautiful and sad. Thank you.

[@waimusic3559]

南宋時期南安太守杜寶之獨女杜麗娘，在聽聞家庭教師陳最良的詩經《關雎》，於夢中邂逅一書生，醒後因思念夢中情郎，鬱鬱寡歡而亡。杜父亲赴淮陽升任安撫使前，將杜麗娘葬後花園梅樹下，並修梅花庵，囑一道姑守之。后書生柳夢梅赴京趕考，卻因故寓於梅花庵，並因此與杜麗娘遊魂相遇相知。。。 《皂罗袍》是昆曲曲牌名，是《牡丹亭》最有名唱段 -《游园惊梦》， 就是用该曲牌演唱的，《皂罗袍》是本折的高潮，刻画了杜丽娘千回百转的心态变化。-维基百科 注：曲牌名就是曲，俗称“牌子”。和词牌一样，是曲的音乐谱式，就像一首很长的歌里的部分小节的名字。古代的曲很长，所写的曲牌都是一个很长的一首曲的部分小节的名字。元代北曲共335个，每一个曲牌都有一定的曲调、唱法，同时也规定了该曲的字数、句法、平仄等。-历史网-曲牌名到底是什么

How beautiful! I first saw this style being sung in Winter Begonia, but it's even more amazing to see it performed by actual artists and I absolutely adore how the guqin complements the singing ❤ I wish I could have listened to it in person...

[@Zetacy00]

By 李林德 原来姹紫嫣红开遍， Already, bright purple and passion pink bloom in profusion. 似这般都付与断井颓垣。 Yet to crumbling well, faded walls, such splendor is abandoned. 良辰美景奈何天， But in this glorious season, （便）赏心乐事谁家院！ Where are sounds of joy in this garden? 朝飞暮卷， Mornings take wing, evenings unfold, 云霞翠轩， Beyond green arbor, rosy clouds soar. 雨丝风片，烟波画船 --- In windy strands of rain, gilded pleasure boats nod in misty waves. 锦屏人忒看的这韶光贱！ Maidens shielded by brocaded screens, are blinded to such glorious scenes.

Hope new young Chinese generation still practice this type of tradition. I hope it will still exist for another thousands of years in the future.

this is definitely the best opera singer ive ever had a chance to listen to, shes so talented and for what?!

[@lyxu4036]

太美了，昆曲也可以拆分成曲子来听，就好像流行音乐，除去情节，昆曲首先是曲是诗是中国传统美学所追求和重视的意境，这也是一种传承和发扬的巧思。

[@ems7623]

I have always been fascinated by the vocal style in Chinese Opera, even though I am not really sure of its musical or theatrical significance.

[@rencechannel2240]

there are many varities of Chinese opera. This one is an example of Kunqu opera originated in Wu area not too far from the capital Beijing where another branch of opera also sprung which is call Peking Opera or Jingju called by the locals.

[@user-rj1ox6gw6p]

this is so gorgeous, such an absolutely amazing performance!!

[@burnthewitch_]

The dancing feels so playful and unearthly. Something about it is very captivating, and the music enhances this effect tenfold... China's historical arts are undeniably beautiful and unmatched.

[@redsnowpenguin]

It is totally playful. The singer is playing a teenage girl bored out of her mind during schooling and having an intense bout of feeling 'real life is elsewhere'. She compares herself to flowers blooming furiously inside of decrepit buildings (comparing her elderly boring teachers to decrepit buildings lol). The song goes on to describe what she imagines bustling real life to be, and the singer mimes rowing a boat with her fan at one point. Later 'real life' is going to slap the girl and her love interest in the face and the contrast is really acute against this early naivete. The singer does two things at once, both playing the character of the girl and adding a knowing layer for the audience who knows where the story is going.
