重拾莆仙戏旦角动作语言的价值

The Value of the Action Language of Female Roles in Puxian Opera

形成于宋代,兴盛于明清两代的莆仙戏迄今仍保留了许多宋元南戏的传统剧目和艺术元素,故被誉为"宋元南戏的活化石",并于2006年入选了首批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。莆仙戏旦角的舞蹈和动作语言是莆仙戏艺术语言和表演系统中极具代表性的部分,其与中国其他戏种的旦角动作相比,呈现出鲜明的特色,显现了古老传统的深厚价值。本文从莆仙戏旦角动作语言的历史价值、艺术价值和文化价值三个方面进行探析,旨在强调重拾莆仙戏旦角动作语言的重要性,并为这一古老艺术所蕴含的传统文化资源能够在当代中国民族舞蹈建设中得到有效的借鉴和利用提供有价值的理论参考。

Puxian Opera is a local ethnic Han opera popular in Putian and Xianyou(both belonging to the Xinghua region in ancient China) and some other areas speaking the Xinghua dialect in central and southern Fujian. Originally known as Xinghua Opera, Puxian Opera got its present name after 1949. As literature survey shows, Puxian Opera originated in the Tang dynasty, grew in the Song dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It still has a repertoire of more than 5 000 traditional titles, of which over 80 retain the original forms or plots of the Song and Yuan dynasties. This paper studies the action language of female roles in Puxian Opera(including dance in drama) and explores the connotations and value of action language in Puxian Opera.
