戏曲现代化进程中应当处理好的三个关系

Three Relationships in the Modernization of Chinese Opera

戏曲负载了中华文化族群关于戏曲传统的知识体系和情感内涵,它体现在内容上的题材、主题特色,形式上由脚色行当、声腔、程式、服饰、道具等各种因素融合而成的表意符号整体,精神上的文化信仰和民族尊严等方面,这是戏曲现代化可参照的基础、可依恃的手段,以及不得不面对的评价体系。戏曲的承续、变革和创新若以保持戏曲传统精神为宗旨,就必须尊重传统戏曲所负载的知识体系和情感内涵,其间需要注意三个方面的关系:局部与整体的关系、过去与现代的关系、编创与观众的关系,由此以体现传统戏曲培植起来的整体融合的韵美和表意元素间相互照应、粘连的和谐。

Chinese opera inherits the knowledge system and sentiments in the Chinese tradition of stage performance.Its characteristics of themes,its form including characteristics,characters,shengqiang,formulas,costumes and props,and its philosophy stemmed from the Chinese culture and beliefs,are the foundation,methods,and standards that the modernization of Chinese opera needs.To preserve the spirit of traditional Chinese opera,the modernization of Chinese opera should respect its traditional knowledge system and sentiments,especially the three relationships between parts and the whole,between the past and the present,and between the creators and the audience,to recreate the harmony in traditional Chinese opera.
