梅兰芳对谭鑫培创新精神的继承和超越

Mei Lanfang's Inheritance and Advancement of Tan Xinpei's Innovation

梅兰芳正是在包括谭鑫培在内的最杰出的艺术家的影响下,继承了他们不断创新的精神而加以历史的超越的。这种创新精神包括穷则思变、刚健争胜、唱无定法和不由恒蹊。梅兰芳之所以能够在继承谭鑫培创新精神的前提下又能超越他的最根本的原因,就在于他更善于接受新事物,更明确意识到自己作为"一个极笨拙的人"只能一步一个脚印在票友族群的簇拥下"成好角",而不能像才高八斗的谭鑫培那样很自负的"自为领袖"、"当好角"。

It is under the influence of the most outstanding artists including Tan Xinpei that Mei Lanfang inherited their initiative and exceeded them historically. The initiative includes reform, competition, free styles and being non-conventional. Mei Lanfang was able to inherit as well as surpass Tan Xinpei since he was more inclined to accept novelty, more aware of his own qualities-- that he needed to persevere with the audience＇ s support, unlike the talented and self-assured Tan Xinpei.
