The youth version of The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》) successfully entered the stage of the Spring for Chinese Arts at the Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center.

The Peony Pavilion, 【小题1】 cultural treasure of the world, was written by China’s Ming Dynasty playwright and writer Tang Xianzu, who is compared to William Shakespeare. And Kunqu Opera, 【小题2】 (combine) songs performed in the Suzhou dialect, graceful body movements, martial arts and dance, was 【小题3】 (origin) born in the region of Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. It was listed as one of the representative 【小题4】 (work) of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO in 2001.

Kunqu Opera uses a seemingly endless 【小题5】 (vary) of gestures to express specific emotions and has distinguished itself by its rhythmic patterns. It also has a major impact 【小题6】 all the more recent forms of opera in China, such as Peking Opera.

【小题7】 excites the organizing committee is that The Peony Pavilion 【小题8】 (attract) a growing young audience since its first performance in Beijing. Up to now, Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center, 【小题9】 aim is to emphasize the inheritance, promotion, development and popularization of traditional Chinese culture and arts, has also held many exhibitions related to traditional drama, and established the Peking Opera inheritance class 【小题10】 (popularize) the traditional art to children.

Have you ever seen a movie actor at one time or another 【小题1】 (face) with a difficult problem: just how much thought he should allow to go into his work? Views are divided whether his acting should 【小题2】 (control) by his emotions or his thoughts.

First are those who say that an actor must feel the part he is playing. The greatest actors have always been those who wore 【小题3】 (them) out in an hour’s time, because they felt the emotions they were acting out. The second group declares that all this is nonsense and that if an actor really felt his part, he would lose control of himself, and perhaps 【小题4】 (actual) murder some other actor in a fight scene. Acting is an art 【小题5】 the artist can express things that he does not feel.

Still a third school declares that both these views are wrong, and that acting is neither 【小题6】 matter of thought nor of emotion, but is purely imitative. The 【小题7】 (true) of it seems to be that all of them are partly right and partly wrong. The great stars of the movies today, when one is able 【小题8】 (draw) them out on the subject, say that when 【小题9】 (act) they are thinking not about one thing but about several things. The brain is divided into different sections, and while one section is thinking about the part, another section is entering into it, while still a third section is busying itself 【小题10】 questions about the cameraman and the director.

Rural students of Fengxiang town, Zunyi city, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, recently enjoyed a special screening of the movie 1921.

During the night of July 12, pupils of the Gouba Conference Red Army Elementary School 【小题1】 (watch) the movie, which tells the story of the founding of the Communist Party of China 101 years ago.

Following the screening, via video, actor Wang Renjun, 【小题2】 plays the 28-year-old Chairman Mao Zedong, shared his various 【小题3】 (thought) with the students about his interpretation of the great character. He was, in his youth, 【小题4】 (ambition), and struggled for his ideals with determination, despite occasionally losing his way and finding 【小题5】 (he), and the country, at a crossroads.

And Yu Xi, the scriptwriter (编剧), hopes his movie will arouse the children’s interest【小题6】 the history of the founding of the CPC and encourage them 【小题7】 (do) their own extensive learning.

After that there was【小题8】 online lecture by Zuo Heng, director of the film culture research department of the China Film Art Research Center, who explained the spirit of the times embedded (嵌入) in the movie.

The event was part of a screening and volunteer teaching program【小题9】 (organize) by Beijing Normal University and the China Film Archive to boost basic education, 【小题10】 (especial) aesthetic (审美) education, in rural areas, and help recover rural culture and education.
