Appreciation of Shaanxi Opera in Jia Pingwa's Prose
Shaanxi Opera not only vividly describes the characteristics of the emergence and changes of a local drama, but more importantly, it shows people's enthusiasm and vitality through the description of their feelings and customs on the land of Qinchuan. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, the author's love for the native land makes the author highlight the human beauty of the people in the yellow land more in his description, while filtering out the possible ignorance and ugliness. In Jia Pingwa's works, Shaanxi opera is the endless voice of fate between the yellow land and the common people. By describing the customs of Qin, the author conveys his understanding of Qin culture, and sees through people's living conditions and philosophy in the grasp of culture. Farmers are the most industrious people in the world, especially on this plain. When they were alive, they fell grass on the loess kang, and when they died, they were buried under the loess pile. Shaanxi opera is the joy of their great sufferings. When the old cow plowed a knot in one's heart in the field and was exhausted, she stood in the furrow and shouted a piece of Qin opera, and all the missing soul and joints were washed away. For them, Shaanxi Opera has become the five elements of life, just like xifeng liquor, Long-term Pepper, Big Leaf Tobacco and Tangbao. Every wedding, funeral and wedding in the village, we must pack a Shaanxi opera. Children greet with Shaanxi opera, and funerals mourn with Shaanxi opera. It seems that this world of life is the stage of Shaanxi Opera. As long as people are born, born, clean and ugly on the stage, they will show their authenticity, and evil will exaggerate their ugliness. Kindness will highlight its beauty and make them get a good education. Evil can also turn ugliness into ugliness. In people's minds, Shaanxi Opera is not only an art form, but also has been sublimated into real beauty in life.
