Xiaohonglou

Xiaohonglou (now the south end of Yingkou 14 Zhongxi hutong) is a large-scale opera garden with pear garden characteristics, which can be called the famous opera garden in Northeast China.

Basic introduction

Old Yingkou knows that there is a little red mansion in Yingkou, the home of pear garden. In the early years, there were only temple theatrical buildings and Xi Peng theatrical gardens in Yingkou, with poor facilities and small scale. After the opening of Yingkou port, merchants from the north and the South gathered and all kinds of businesses flourished. In 1905 (the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty), Wang Huanying, the yingbu giant businessman and the owner of Baishan hall, invested to build the Tiancheng stage in the style of guanghelou opera garden in Beijing. Because its stage, doors and windows, pillars and other facilities are painted in vermilion, it is commonly known as xiaohonglou.

Xiaohonglou (now the south end of Yingkou 14 Zhongxi hutong) is a large-scale opera garden with pear garden characteristics, which can be called the famous opera garden in Northeast China. The building area of the whole opera garden is nearly 2000 square meters, 55 meters long, 30 meters wide and 10 meters high. The protruding stage, 11.5 meters wide, 10 meters deep and 9 meters high, forms a Beijing opera stage where the Marquis and the bride worship each other for their false wealth and marriage. There are 16 large tanks buried under the stage to enhance the resonance effect. In the garden, there are teahouse, pool seat, table ear and two corridors downstairs; there are boxes on three sides of the upstairs, and wooden benches in front of the boxes. The whole garden can accommodate more than 1200 people.

the Republic of China era

The completion of xiaohonglou opera garden indicates that Yingkou Jutan has reached a prosperous period, and Beijing Opera celebrities from Guannei, Jiangnan and other places have come one after another. In May 1921 (the tenth year of the Republic of China), Zhou Xinfang, a famous Peking Opera actor, came to the camp for the first time. His performances in xiaohonglou, such as "Si Jin Shi", "Xiao He's chasing Han Xin under the moon", "Xu CE's running to the city" and "Qing Feng Ting", attracted the audience in Yingkou. In June 1926 (the 15th year of the Republic of China), Meng Youdong, a well-known old girl of Peking Opera, performed "catching and releasing Cao" and "wulongyuan" in xiaohonglou. The typhoon was elegant and the skill was extraordinary, which added freshness to Yingkou chrysanthemum altar. At that time, there was always a saying that Yingkou wharf opera was hard to sing. As a result, most artists dare not come to Yingkou. All the famous actors who come to Yingkou to perform well pay attention to the first artillery play. When the artillery starts, the audience is full every day. When the artillery doesn't start, the theater is deserted, so they have to go out of the camp. As a result, the little red chamber naturally formed a stage for famous actors to perform. Yingkou's small red mansion is as famous in North and South as Yingkou's big merchants.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China

After the liberation of Yingkou, in 1949, the Municipal People's government funded the maintenance of the small red building, renamed the people's theater. From then on, the little red chamber, which had been stopped for several years, became active again. At that time, xiaohonglou took over Huang Chao Peking Opera Troupe led by Chen Qitong (the playwright of the movie "thousands of rivers and mountains") and premiered the new historical drama "Huang Chao". With neat lineup, skillful performance, brand-new stage and solemn atmosphere, it can be said that the Marshal's prestige is shaken, and a soldier is also romantic. In 1951, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng, two of the four famous actors in Chinese Peking Opera, led a group to perform in xiaohonglou successively, and their performances were full. When Shang Xiaoyun came to the camp for the first time, he presented his masterpieces "Zhaojun leaving the fortress", "Liang Hongyu" and "sacrificing tower" to the Yingkou audience. Xun Huisheng, the living Hongniang, first appeared on the stage of the little red chamber, and presented representative plays such as Hongniang, jinyunu and Eryou of the red chamber. The performances of the two famous actors have filled the eyes of Yingkou audiences who love Beijing opera.

Xiaohonglou opera garden, with a history of more than 50 years, was demolished in 1957 because of its decadence and no maintenance value. Later, the Municipal People's government funded the construction of a new theater in Mashi Street (now the third section of Liaohe Street), which was originally named Yingkou xiaohonglou theater and later renamed people's Art Theater. Up to now, some people still call the people's Art Theater "Little Red Mansion", which is just a customary name.
