Profile

His father, Liang Jie, was a teacher of Pingyang, who "showed himself by writing". Chen fish is more than eight feet long, eyebrows Qiu beard, good chivalrous. I don't care to try. The family has Huawu, which specially accepts the four sides of Qishi Yingjie. During the reign of Jiajing, the last seven sons headed by Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen all had contacts with him, and the dramatist Zhang Fengyi was also his good friend. He was well-known in the field of music at that time, "the erotic songs were clearly introduced and spread among qilijian. Platinum Wenqi, a famous horse with exotic fragrance, is a gift of exquisite skills. Singing and dancing girl, without seeing Bolong, thinks that it's ominous "(Volume 2 of JIAO Xun's dramas quoted Xu Youling's miscellaneous commentary on cochlear Affairs).

Drama creation

Huansha Ji, the legend of Liang Chenyu, is based on the story of the rise and fall of Wu and Yue in the spring and Autumn period. The first "family door" says: "look at the new records of Huansha in modern and ancient times, the old name is Wuyue spring and Autumn". It can be seen that this play is based on the old version of Wuyue spring and autumn. The dramas of Yuan dynasty recorded in the book of recording ghosts include Jin Xishi (written by Guan Hanqing) and Yue Wang Tang Dan (written by Gong Tianting). Liang Chenyu once wrote "Jiangdong Baizhu" and "Huansha" (plum blossom cottage). His works may have absorbed the achievements of Yuan zaju. The plot of Huansha Ji is more abundant than the records in history books and related historical legends. For example, in the beginning, Fan Li and Xi Shi met and fell in love with each other by the stream of zhuluoxi village. Xi Shi gave Fan Li a wisp of stream yarn as a token of love. After Yue was defeated by Wu, Fan Li put state affairs first and urged Xi Shi to go to Wu. When they leave, they separate Xisha and each holds half of them. At the end, it says that after the destruction of Wu, they got married in a boat in Taihu Lake, took out Xisha and went to sea together. These plots help to create the images of Fan Li and Xi Shi, two patriots with the spirit of self sacrifice. With their love story and a thread of stream yarn throughout the play, the structure is more complete. The play also criticizes Fu Chai's indulgence in wine and sex, his ignorance of loyalty and adultery, and Bo Chu's despicable greed and flattery, while he deeply sympathizes with Wu Zixu, an upright and farsighted man who died unjustly. This kind of description has certain practical significance in the middle of Ming Dynasty.

"Huansha Ji" is the first script written with the reformed Kunshan tune. As Zhu YIZUN said, "Chuanqi Jia Qu can be changed to another tune for Yiyang children, but" Huansha "can't. It's a veteran of CI." (Volume 14 of jingzhiju Shihua) the play is rich in content and rich in diction. It has become an important milestone in the history of Kun Opera.

Liang Chenyu's drama red thread girl is adapted from Yuan Jiao's classical Chinese novel red thread in Tang Dynasty. Although the protagonist of the script, Hongxian, has a humble status, he has a wide range of knowledge, excellent martial arts skills and is bold and careful. She sneaked into Wei Bo Jiedushi's heavily guarded house and stole the gold box at the head of the bed, which made Tian Chengsi, a domineering Jiedushi, afraid to fight against his neighbors. Qi biaojia called the play "the best of craftsmanship, almost better than the golden beauty" (yuanshantang Opera), and gave it a high evaluation.

Liang Chenyu also wrote poems and Sanqu, but compared with his dramatic creation, it is far inferior.

In addition to Huansha Ji and hongxiannu, there are also poetry anthology Liang Guozi Shengji and Sanqu anthology Jiangdong Baizhu. According to the records, he also wrote the twenty-one history of Jiangdong Tanci and the legend Yuanyang Ji, drama Hongxiao, poetry anthology Bolong Shi and Yuanyou manuscript, which have been lost.

Works introduction

The first "family door" says: "look at the new records of Huansha in modern and ancient times, the old name is Wuyue spring and Autumn". It can be seen that this play is based on the old version of Wuyue spring and autumn. The dramas of Yuan dynasty recorded in the book of recording ghosts include Jin Xishi (written by Guan Hanqing) and Yue Wang Tang Dan (written by Gong Tianting). Liang Chenyu once wrote "Jiangdong Baizhu" and "Huansha" (plum blossom cottage). At the beginning of Huansha Ji, it is written that Fan Li and Xi Shi met and fell in love at the side of the stream in zhuluoxi village. Xi Shi gave Fan Li a wisp of stream yarn as a token of affection. After Yue was defeated by Wu, Fan Li put state affairs first and urged Xi Shi to go to Wu. When they leave, they separate Xisha and each holds half of them.

Works review

Liang Chenyu was taught by Wei Liangfu, a famous musician, and studied the music theory with Zheng Sili. He made great contribution to the reform of Kunshan opera. His songs were widely sung at that time, such as Lu Tiancheng's "Qupin" said: "beautiful tunes are widely spread in Baizhu, and new songs are widely sung in brothels." In Huan Sha Ji, Guan Mu San Huan (Xu Fu Zuo's Qu Lun) pays too much attention to the rhythm of the text and ignores the design and arrangement of the dramatic conflicts. There are too many parallel couplets in the object and the dialogue. These shortcomings also have a negative impact on the later legends. Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many of the single plays in Huansha Ji have developed into the zaizi plays often performed on the stage of Kun Opera, such as Huiying, zhuanma, Dawei, Jinshi, Jizi, Cailian, Fanhu, etc. The earlier versions of Huansha Ji are fuchuntang edition, wenlingge edition and yiyunge edition in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. The 50th edition of the first collection of the ancient opera series was photocopied according to the Yiyun Pavilion edition. The popular version is sixty kinds of songs in the late Ming Dynasty.

Liang Chenyu's works absorb the achievements of Yuan zaju. The plot of Huansha Ji is more abundant than the records in history books and related historical legends. Liang Chenyu played an important role in the promotion and reform of Kunshan opera, thus becoming an important milestone in the history of Kunqu Opera.

Huansha Ji

During the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Wei Liangfu, a musician, carried out a drastic reform of Kunqiang, which greatly enriched and improved the tune, melody and singing method of Kunqiang. At that time, it was appreciated by many opera writers and musicians, and they responded one after another to coordinate the reform. Liang Chenyu, a famous dramatist, created the legendary script of Huansha Ji, which was sung in Kunqiang opera. It had a great influence on the development and spread of Kunqiang opera. Liang Chenyu (1519-1591), a native of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. The ancestors are local famous families, and their families are relatively rich. He was born in a strange way, more than eight feet tall, sparse eyebrows Qiu beard, romantic self admiration, bohemian. Although he was very talented, he did not want to take part in the imperial examination. He once wrote the ode to seclusion to express his ambition of living in seclusion in his hometown. I like to associate with people who have ideals, ambitions, or fantastic skills. Qi Jiguang, a famous general, once paid a visit to his hometown, and Zhang Fengyi, a famous scholar, was his best friend. Liang Chenyu is good at writing, singing and singing. In the middle of Jiajing period, Wei Liangfu began to reform Kunshan tune and created Shuimo tune. Liang Chenyu, who was taught by Wei Liangfu, studied music theory with musicians Zheng Sili, Dai Meichuan and Tang Xiaoyu, and continued to reform. In order to expand the influence of Kunqu Opera, he wrote operas "hongxiannv", "Hongxiao Ji" and the legend "Huansha Ji", which were welcomed by the children of Liyuan and sang one after another. Among them, Huansha Ji is the most famous.

Huan Sha Ji was originally named Wu Yue Chun Qiu. It tells the story of the king and his ministers of Yue State uniting for strength, recuperating and finally destroying Wu state. It is said that this is the first time that Shuimo Diao has been successfully used in the stage. The drama is lively and the tune is sonorous, causing a sensation for a time. Wang Shizhen has a poem: "Wu Lu white face smelt you er, fight to sing when Liang Lang snow lyrics." Pan Zhiheng praised: "it's been ten years since I left, and my lyrics have attracted thousands of people." We can see the scene of ten thousand people competing for the audience in the play Huansha Ji. Huiying, zhuanma, DAWAI, Jinshi, Jizi, Cailian, Youhu and so on are always excellent operas on the stage of Kunqu Opera. Later, many of the stories of Xi Shi on the opera stage all over the world are derived from Huansha Ji.

There are a lot of female images in Liang Chenyu's literary works, including chivalrous heroines, fairyland women in myths and legends, pure and simple girls in spring, delicate and gentle women in the boudoir, affectionate women at the bottom, lonely women in the palace, unmarried women and minority women. Liang created a real and illusory female world.

The female world in Liang Chenyu's works is rich and colorful. He praises women's achievements or sympathizes with their experiences or praises their talents, showing Liang's strong female consciousness and recognition of women's life value orientation. There are three reasons for Liang Chenyu's view of women: the atmosphere of a specific era, the integration of Liang's personal life experience and unique personality, and the influence of Taoist culture.
