[Explanation] Shen Tiemei is a representative of the 11th, 12th and 13th National People's Congress. As a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of Sichuan Opera, she first won the "Plum Blossom Award", the highest award of Chinese opera performance art at the age of 23, and has won three times. Mei is a leading figure in contemporary Chinese Sichuan Opera.

  [Explanation] The National People's Congress is about to be held. Shen Tiemei, deputy to the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the Chinese Drama Association, and president of the Chongqing Sichuan Opera House, said in an exclusive interview with reporters on March 2 that she had submitted nearly 100 suggestions during the three sessions of her duties. Nearly 90% are closely related to traditional culture.

  This year, I want to give advice on how to protect Chengdu and Chongqing from a cultural point of view, the cultural crystallization of our two, and the art of Sichuan Opera.

It was proposed to establish a Sichuan Opera Cultural Promotion Association and a Sichuan Opera Development Fund.

In this way, the common cultural crystallization of our two cities, Sichuan Opera, has a systematic protection and development.

  [Explanation] For the inheritance and promotion of traditional Chinese culture, the participation of "young people" has always been a hot spot of social concern.

Shen Tiemei said that cultivating young audiences of opera must first establish a "value identity".

Let young people take the initiative to walk into the theater and feel the charm of opera performance up close.

  This kind of understanding of traditional culture, such as young people, he has a one-sided understanding. For example, he thinks that Sichuan opera is very slow and the rhythm is very slow.

It seems that they are all about historical topics, and then we are reluctant to learn to listen to them.

He has watched a lot of TV dramas. In fact, TV dramas also talk about historical themes, and many popular ones also talk about historical themes.

  As the inheritors of our art, we are also evolving with the times, that is, how we make people understand.

Let him walk into the theater to learn about the broad and profound art of Sichuan Opera. In fact, this process is a very difficult process, and it also needs us to do it.

  Then I think that through our nearly 20 years of hard work, many young people have come in. They have become fans of Sichuan Opera, and many of them have become fans of Shen Tiemei.

If he can become a fan, we can catch the line.

But the key is that it is really difficult to take this step, so we should abandon some traditional dross and let our traditional art have a sense of the times.

  [Commentary] Shen Tiemei said that although the society is entering a "fast-paced" era, "one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage", there is no shortcut to the artistic path, and the cultivation of opera talents must be done earnestly and down-to-earth.

  Our opera, our talent training is actually very difficult, because Chinese opera requires "ten years to nurture one person".

That is to say, it will take ten years of work. Now our fast food culture and fast food concept need to be fast in everything.

There is no need to conceive in October, and then a new product will come out soon. I think this is not in line with the law of art development.

  Therefore, we should be serious and down-to-earth in cultivating talents. According to the concept of cultivating talents in Chinese opera, we should do this kind of training in three-nine in winter and three-fu in summer.

In addition, we need to build some platforms for talents, there are some awards and some competitions to let talents stand out.

  [Explanation] As the inheritor of traditional art, Shen Tiemei admitted that she is also "advance with the times". She said that the integrity and innovation of opera cannot cut off the blood and create it out of thin air. We must keep our own DNA and grasp inheritance and innovation. Relationship.

  [Concurrent] Shen Tiemei, deputy to the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the Chinese Drama Association, and president of the Chongqing Sichuan Opera House

  For a market, I am going to change our DNA, which is not acceptable.

We cannot become slaves of money, but we must let the society and the world recognize our value. When the value is recognized, there will be a market for it.

So now I think what we need to solve is the value, let the Chinese people recognize the value of our traditional art.
