Forum on protection and development

June 14, 2006, May 19, 2008: the Symposium on the protection and development of Chinese traditional operas was held

"Symposium on the protection and development of Chinese traditional operas" was held in Beijing. At the same time, nearly 30 famous opera performing artists, such as Shanghai opera performing artist Mao Shanyu and Pingju performing artist Gu Wenyue, donated their personal audio-visual materials to the China Academy of arts as a permanent collection of the Institute's audio-visual database of Chinese opera.

According to the "survey on the current situation of national opera troupes" published by the Chinese Academy of Arts, the development of Chinese opera troupes faces four major difficulties

The state-owned troupes are heavily burdened and have a hard time surviving. Most of the state-owned opera troupes were established under the planned economic system from the 1950s to the 1960s. After the reform and opening up, the original government financial full allocation was changed to the balance allocation. Many troupes are short of funds, so it is difficult to improve the artistic production and the living conditions of the performers, and it is even more difficult to create new dramas. As a result, the troupes with poor management were disbanded one after another, and it was difficult to maintain them.

Brain drain and fault are serious. Due to the economic situation of the troupe, it is difficult to guarantee the basic salary of the in-service staff, and the living conditions for performing in the countryside are very difficult all the year round. Many performers are hard to settle down in their careers, and many are looking for another way out. The situation of art schools is also depressed. The depression of state-owned colleges and the high tuition fees of art schools seriously affect the source of students.

The heritage of traditional opera is in danger of being lost. There are 267 kinds of operas in China, hundreds less than at the beginning of the founding of new China. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, more than 15600 traditional operas and more than 100 Qupai were discovered in Fujian Province alone. Only a few of these plays and tunes have been sorted out and printed, and a considerable part of them are stored in the boxes of old artists
