Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Five days later! Countless literati went to Shanghe Garden.

Suddenly, Shanghe Garden, which was already very lively, suddenly became crowded with people.

Everyone in Kaifeng City knows that today is the day when Li Qingzhao founded the sect, and the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" will be publicly performed at the Cuju venue.

So the Kaifeng literary circles came out with invitations, wanting to see the magic of this so-called opera, and they dared to let Li Qingzhao speak so wildly.

Some people who did not get the invitation also came to Shanghe Garden, even if they stayed outside, they wanted to witness this rare moment in a century.

"Dr. Zhang Yong is here, after Mr. Hengqu."

Zhang Yongnai is the leader of Hengqu's lineage and has great influence. His coming here in person shows how much he attaches great importance to Quju.

"Cheng Yi is here!"

There are two brothers from the Cheng family in the Neo-Confucian lineage. Cheng Hao has passed away. Cheng Yi is the only remaining great scholar in Neo-Confucianism, and his status is higher than Zhang Yong.

"Master Su is here!"

With an exclamation from the crowd, Su Shi, the world's first literary figure at that time, also arrived at Shanghe Garden, which immediately caused quite a commotion.

Immediately afterwards, senior literary elders and dignitaries from Kaifeng City also arrived, causing the crowd to exclaim.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng and everyone Li are here."

Especially when Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao arrived at the end, the whole place was in a state of excitement.

The two are masters of poetry and lyrics. At that time, their poems shocked the entire literary world of the Song Dynasty. Now Li Qingzhao has established a sect again and created Li Qu based on Tang poetry and Song ci. Today, if Qu Opera is really confirmed by the literary world as the founding sect. , Li Qingzhao's reputation will rise again, eclipsing countless men.

"Let's go! The opera is about to begin." Fan Zheng said solemnly, looking at the waiting crowd.

Li Qingzhao took a deep breath and solemnly stepped into the Cuju court. Whether the opera can conquer the literary world of the Song Dynasty is tonight.

As Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao stepped into the Cuju field, the scene inside the field immediately came into view.

I saw a stage set up right in front. The Cuju venue, which could accommodate thousands of people, was already overcrowded. Almost all the literati in Kaifeng City who could line up were present, all coming to see the opera.

Of course, there is no second in martial arts and no first in literature. There are also people who do not believe that the so-called opera is a third-generation literary genre and come here specifically to criticize it.

"Husband!"

Seeing such a huge scene, Li Qingzhao still couldn't help but sweat on his palms.

"It doesn't matter! My husband believes in you. Today's opera is your glorious moment." Fan Zheng encouraged.

At that moment, Li Qingzhao nodded solemnly, came to the stage first, and said loudly: "Seniors, I welcome you to show your respect. Qingzhao is being polite."

As Li Qingzhao spoke, the sound spread clearly throughout the audience, and everyone could hear it clearly. This is why Li Qingzhao occupied the Cuju venue in advance. She asked the workers to amplify the sound on the stage according to the principle of a stethoscope, and then used Cuju The echo in the venue was enough for everyone to hear the voices on the stage clearly.

"The reason why the little girl believes that opera is a third-generation literary genre is not because she is ignorant, but because compared with Tang poetry and Song lyrics, opera is both inheritance and transcendence." Li Qingzhao said with a hint of pride.

"Both inheritance and transcendence?"

Many elders in the literary world couldn't help but disagree when they heard this, thinking that Li Qingzhao was putting money on his face.

Li Qingzhao didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Next, I would like to invite you to enjoy the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang"."

Li Qingzhao decided to use facts to conquer the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

All the literati were shocked and could not help but stare at the stage attentively.

As Li Qingzhao walked off the stage, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and then a deep sound spread throughout the Cuju venue.

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with sex and wanted to overwhelm the country. He couldn't get the emperor for many years. The Yang family has a daughter who has just grown up. She was chosen to be the king's side........."

As Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" came out, the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" officially began.

"Hmph! It's just old wine in a new bottle. It's adapted from Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", and it can claim to be the founder of a sect. It's simply a big statement." Cheng Yi, who is from the Neo-Confucian school, snorted coldly.

Off the stage, many literati had the same idea. They simply did not believe that operas adapted from Tang poetry could actually surpass Tang poetry.

At that moment, the all-powerful Li Shishi came on stage, which immediately caused a commotion among the people on the stage.

You must know that Yang Guifei is known as one of the four beauties. Her appearance is universally recognized and has been praised by literati and poets of all ages. If an ordinary woman were to play Yang Guifei, people would definitely be disgusted.

However, as soon as Li Shishi came on stage, everyone immediately exclaimed. Perhaps only such a peerless appearance can compare with the reputation of "Six Palaces of Pink and No Color".

Although Li Shishi has been a doctor for several years, he has experienced many years of training from Fan Lou and has excellent talent. He quickly stepped into the role of Concubine Yang, captivating everyone in the audience with his every move and smile.

Among them, Zhao Ji, a young Huaichun, was even more addicted to it, looking at Master Li on the stage with a bewildered face.

"The ice wheel on the island is first turning, and the Jade Rabbit is seen, and the Jade Rabbit rises east early..."

As Li Shishi performed a song, he dressed up in costume, raised his lips, and spread the beautiful lyrics throughout the audience.

"This is a singing song!"

Su Shi frowned. He was a frequent visitor to brothels, and he could easily tell that the opera was very similar to listening to music in a brothel. He couldn't help but frown, how could such a vulgar opera dare to claim to surpass Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Other literati were talking about it. Literati were the biggest patrons of brothel music, and they were naturally familiar with this. Although Li Shishi's appearance and singing skills were not inferior to those of brothel oirans, how could he be called a third-generation literary school?

Of course, many people have carefully discovered that listening to music at the brothel Goulan is just the brothel woman changing the poems into music, and it is just a woman performing alone, while the opera has characters appearing one after another.

"Concubine Yang!"

"Gao Lishi!"

"Pelix!"

Everyone gradually discovered the difference in the opera. Through character acting, the opera almost completely presented the love-hate entanglement between Concubine Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This was an unprecedented innovation.

"There is indeed some knowledge!" Zhang Yong said with eyes shining.

The most touching love story in history, the popular verses of Tang poetry, the unique melody of Song poetry, and then assisted by the stage form, using people to act and sing it, is simply a genius idea.

More and more literati have realized the beauty of opera. For a long time, Tang poetry and Song lyrics have been an entertainment activity for a small number of literati. After all, if you want to appreciate Tang poetry and Song lyrics, you must have a certain literacy rate at the minimum. Just as Fan Chunli promoted it throughout the city According to compulsory education, the literacy rate in the Song Dynasty was extremely low.

Quju, on the other hand, does not require the common people to be literate, so that they can appreciate the beauty of poetry, and it also has auditory and visual advantages. The advantages of opera are obvious.
