Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Eighth Chinese Baptism Strong Hu Baptism (Continued Ten
The huge and square theater standing by the tributary of the Han River is a rendering of appearance and internal parts drawn by Zhou Huaian. It is then developed by contemporary craftsmen in specific details and finally built into a mix of wood structures with antique appearance but rather Western-style alienation inside.
Therefore, this square building is just like a seal, with a height of five floors/six meter and a side length of twenty meter. The first to third floors inside are performance areas that run through the floors, divided into a large and four small theaters. Then there are interspersed with aisles, tea halls, lounges and other transitional ancillary compartments.
Through the corridors and steps coiled up on the outer floor, the four and five floors and the buildings on the terraces are connected to the brackets and eaves on the four and five floors, which are the functional areas including various dormitories, dining halls, prop rooms, luggage rooms, and warehouses.
In addition to the main building, there are also artificial ditches and pools like moats, surrounded by only a dozen wide and short arch bridges across it. It is not only a part of the greening measures and artificial landscape for supporting rockery flower stones, but also in case of fire prevention needs.
As one of the few exemplary public buildings of the Taiping Army, in addition to regular performances and internal rehearsals, this theatre also occasionally accepts rental and use from folk art teams, art academy pleasure boats, and even personal homes during the rest of the time, in order to maintain the subsidies.
The main source of various actors is the women in the official school and the teaching staff. After several years of transition, adaptation and elimination, most people have found a new livelihood where they can support themselves and even live a decent life, as well as the corresponding value and meaning of life.
Of course, as a first-time performance project that is a brick-and-glass performance, most of the script's materials and summary are provided by Zhou Huaian, and then the corresponding professional vocal orchestra group will be supplemented and adapted into specific works that conform to the style of this era.
Of course, they are all positive content. For example, Nezha is quarreling in the sea, splitting the mountain to save his mother, and stone monkey is quarreling in the sky palace. These are lively and popular and enjoyable, and are rich in the spirit of resistance.
Otherwise, it would be to expose the darkness of the government and the corruption and depravity of the aristocratic families, which caused countless tragedies, such as "Battle of Liang", "Peony Pavilion", "Save the Wind and Dust", "The Peacock Flying Southeast", "The Purple Hairpin/Biography of Huo Xiaoyu", "The Mirror Reunion"
Or the various human stories and adventure legends reinterpreted by works such as "Mirror Flowers", "Shan Hai Jing", and "Su Shen Ji" that describe overseas wonders.
However, today's drama cards include the comic satirical dramas "Three Levels in a Success", "Five Worlds", and "The Minister of Destiny", as well as the comics "Three Smile Marriage", "The Legend of the White Snake/The Green Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin".
As a privilege of not wanting to cause sensation and riots, or other tensions, Zhou Huaian and his group stopped directly in a corner of the courtyard outside the theater; then they were directly introduced into the largest venue from a semi-enclosed corridor that looked like a wind and rain bridge.
Although today is not the most lively New Year holiday, or the number of scenes used specifically for Lao Lao's army is also the day when the military family and staff members get the entertainment papers as welfare and come to watch the show in batches.
So in the hall below, from the front seats with cases to the long benches in the back, all of which were full of 70% to 80%. And it was full of curiosity, pleasure, and eagerness, and whispering. After watching the three songs and dances that were used to briefly introduce the background before the main show began.
"Yesterday was like the flowing water..."
On the oblique side of the stage, the exclusive box with the best view is in the three-story exclusive room. When Zhou Huaian heard the familiar tune of "Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams" at the opening, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy and feelings that suddenly appeared in the next life.
Then as the plot unfolded, it attracted the attention of a large number of people; Zhou Huaian couldn't help but recall some things. Because what's more funny is that the types of literary works that several women around him like are also different.
For example, Qingluo, who first appeared around her, probably because of her background, likes popular works such as "The Oil Seller Exclusive Courtesan", "The Biography of Li Wa", "Huo Xiaoyu", and "Save the Wind and Dust", which are popular works of the mandarin duck butterfly school that are finally married;
The small pendant is a romantic story that is more in love with the love between the wind, flowers, snow, moon and joys and sorrows. But the favorites are works such as "The Emperor's Flower", "Half Mirror Fate", "The Golden Fen", "The Palace of Eternal Life", "The West Chamber", "Peach Blossom Fan", "The Pipa", etc., which are related to the background of the times and the fate of the country; then they will inadvertently hug their heads with the skeleton spirit and cry with a sensation.
Yao Niang also likes martial arts themes, especially "The Queen's Qiying Record", "Shang Lin Chun", "Chang Gan Xing", "Yu Chaihan", and "Pingzhi Xiaying", which are dominated by self-reliance and confidence women; the kind of longing that is beyond words.
As for Cao Hongyao, who looks delicate and timid, he likes excerpts such as "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "The Investiture of the Gods", and "Notes from Yuewei Caotang". He often curled up in a panic when he saw them in shock, but he couldn't help but read them.
"The autumn is half cold and half warm, ironed to you, quietly watching the flowing light flying."
When the song of "Flying Light" sounded again in the middle of the scene, the girl came back to her senses from the immersive performance plot.
"I don't know where Langjun studied, and he studied under the famous hidden master... He can know so many things... Even arrangements and plays are not left behind."
Hong Yao'er gently inserted the corners of her eyes and said with emotion.
"Everything comes from life and experience. To be honest, I have been to many places in my early years, visited and studied for a few people, but the one who asked the most was Baidu."
Zhou Huaian responded silently.
"Is Baidu Master?"
Hong Yaoer said in surprise
"It is said that it is all-encompassing and omnipotent, and knows everything. If you don't understand something, you can get something if you ask Baidu."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said:
"Then it is Longkong Mountain and Yinsu Temple; there are many like-minded people seeking advice and discussing theories all day long. There are also famous masters who praise the world, who start to speak in the middle to answer questions and answer questions for sentient beings... What a grand occasion, even though it has been prosperous after several changes."
"Is it the Nalanda Temple where you went to seek Dharma with Master Xuanzang?"
Hong Yao'er couldn't help but show an admiration and fascination expression.
"It is generally the same, but it is not limited to the origin of Buddhism; all the three religions and nine schools of thought have their own essence and place to discuss the Tao; because they follow the Buddhist altar, they are also called forums."
Zhou Huaian thought about it and found that it was really similar in nature.
"For example, those who are good at military and martial arts, there are military and equipment forums, those who are good at historians, there are ancient wars, literature and history forums, literary scholars, poetry and lyrics forums, those who are good at traveling and field trips, there are also tourism and food forums... But those who are confused must have answers."
"There is no place in this world where such a group of wise men gather? Could it be that the ancient rumored world of caves, or the place where the wise men of the pre-Qin philosophers and hundreds of schools of wise men gathered together in "Peach Blossom Spring" are the places where the world can be escaped from... "
Yao Niang, who had walked into the private room for some time, couldn't help but speak.
"It's almost done,"
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but laughed and said, in the face of the threat of 404 disconnection and removal from the shelves in the future, these places have really become paradises in a sense. Thinking of this, he sighed again and said with infinite remembrance:
"But now I can't go back, or there is no longer a place in this place..."
"Isn't it Hu, the immortal residence like the three mountains of Penglai overseas? Is Langjun really the genus of the banished immortal?"
Hong Yaoer, who opened her eyes wide and looked more and more beautiful and cute, asked again with more curiosity.
"Well, you guess it yourself!"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said.
"Are you all so good at immortals?... shameless... don't you claim to be from Buddhism?"
But it was Yao Niang who chuckled again and said.
"As the saying goes, Buddha is originally Tao, and Taoist ancestors are even before Buddha. There are naturally differences between ancient immortals and sages, just like Emperor Xuanyuan also had three thousand daughters and ascended to the scene, and heired the allusion of "Su Nu Questions"... Dual cultivation and raising are also one of the three thousand Taos in ancient times...."
Zhou Huaian said with confidence; he couldn't help but think of a new trick in the future.
For example, when you want to applaud love with a shy and honest girl, you can shout such as "Eat the critical strike of my exiled immortal", "Put it out and practice", "Accept the initiation from the exiled immortal." "Look at me to kill the red dragon and cut off the white tiger." To increase the corresponding interest.
However, the relaxed time of watching the show is always very fast. Although it is a vaguely familiar and dull scene on the way back, Hong Yaoer leaning behind the curtain still looks interesting and can't look enough.
"How about we come down and have the carriage and horses go back first."
Zhou Huaian suddenly said in his heart.
"I'm afraid this is not good..."
Hong Yao'er turned around and declined in surprise, but her gently twisted fingers exposed another expectation.
"It's okay. As long as you arrange the front and back guards, you will accompany me to see the market style and the normality of people's livelihood under the Taiping Army. What should I do?"
Zhou Huaian continued to comfort him.
"Then, then, I'll just listen to your husband..."
She tried to suppress this somewhat joyful tone and said softly.
Although it is a arranged political marriage, the girl has always worked hard and diligent, and has learned how to play a good role that is suitable for matching. Therefore, Zhou Huaian doesn't mind being a little tolerant and giving her little mood in daily life.
After all, she is in a high-gate mansion all day long, and she is surrounded by people when she goes out, and her actions outside are also very eye-catching. In fact, for a girl of her age, she is a little depressed and restrained. Therefore, it is beneficial to put aside these for the time being and letting herself go for a while.
After all, what Zhou Huaian wants is a good partner in family and career who can be cheerful and attentive, with his own ideas and creativity, rather than a beautiful doll who is forcibly shaped and distorted by various tangible and intangible rules and is extremely self-disciplined and boring.
"But, it's not OK for us to continue like this... we have to find a place to change our outfits, otherwise it would be a waste of this opportunity."
Zhou Huaian stopped her again and said
"Is it possible...it's right in this car?"
However, facing the surprise that Zhou Huaian had prepared long ago, Hong Yaoer was a little hesitant and shy.
"Don't worry, we are already a husband and wife, so what if I help you wear it..."
