[Commentary] When it comes to Sichuan Opera, most people's impression of it remains on the traditional stage. The performers wear colorful makeup and gorgeous python robes. Combined with their characteristic voice and performance movements, they perfectly interpret one classic piece after another.
In Chengdu, a 5-year-old child "Hua Hua" began to learn Sichuan Opera with his father Zhou Zhenghua at the age of 3.
After Zhou Zhenghua made a short video of his son's learning content and released it on an online platform, he gained more than 4 million fans.
What is the "charm" of this little "artist"? Recently, the reporter met Zhou Zhenghua, the father of the protagonist "Hua Hua", and learned about the story behind "Hua Hua" learning Sichuan Opera.
It can be seen in the released video that "Huahua" follows his father to learn the basic skills of Sichuan Opera. If he is not serious, he will be strictly educated. The little guy learns every trick very well, but it can be seen that "Huahua" is sincere. Like and enjoy the joy of learning Sichuan Opera.
Zhou Zhenghua told reporters that he followed his father to learn Sichuan Opera since he was a child, but he did not expect that his son would also be affected and fell in love with this art.

When learning Sichuan Opera, in fact, when he was two or three years old, because of the atmosphere at home, there were more knives, guns, swords, sticks, cakes, etc. Then he saw me playing, and then he followed Play, and slowly guide him from his interests. If he really wants him to learn (Sichuan Opera) and let him practice, it will be this year. Then after he worships the master, the master will come to teach him (regularly).
[Commentary] Zhou Zhenghua said frankly that Sichuan Opera has strict requirements for basic skills. As the so-called "one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage", every Sichuan Opera performer can master Sichuan Opera after years of persistence and hard work. performance techniques.
But for "Huahua", Zhou Zhenghua also said that he can't instill too much into "Huahua" at present and needs to be guided slowly.

In fact, if he is speaking now, you can't ask him too much, just instill in him one (idea) of Sichuan Opera, which is what you should be.
In fact, at this time, we have to let him come from his interest, and he will resist wherever he is oppressed. If you press him at this time, he will always bounce back at that time, and I will never engage in it again (Sichuan Opera) That's it.
At this time, (you have to) guide him slowly, (tell him) after you practice like this, is your kung fu cool and handsome?
In this way, slowly tell him the essentials of this action, the meaning behind this action, how long this action has been passed down, and why does this action exist?
From shallow to deep, let him dig by himself slowly, just like opening a treasure.
[Explanation] With Zhou Zhenghua's use of short videos to show the inheritance and persistence of the traditional culture of Sichuan Opera, more people can see more vital cultural classics.
However, in the face of some netizens' doubts about the "entertainment of traditional culture", Zhou Zhenghua said that if you want more people to know about Sichuan Opera and more people's knowledge of traditional culture, you must conform to the times, but you must also stick to the bottom line of creative content.

What is the grasp of the bottom line, that is to say, you must first have a spirit of innovation, a thinking, and at the same time you must have some energy and ability to stick to the old guy and old skills, just like Mr. Guo Degang, he is a cross talk artist, why? He combines with the talk show, right?
He still has to keep up with the current trend, the development of culture, and the times, but he is also a highly respected artist, right?
If you don't have a strong cultural background, you can't talk about inheritance, you can only say that he attracts people's attention, and you can't go long.
[Commentary] Zhou Zhenghua said frankly that the father and son's inheritance of Sichuan Opera culture was recorded by shooting short videos, so that children can understand that nothing can be done overnight in the process of learning Sichuan Opera. When his son came into close contact with Sichuan Opera, Zhang Yichi can engrave traditional Chinese culture into his bone marrow, and this is the future inheritor of Sichuan opera culture.
Zhou Zhenghua said that in the future, he will do his best to open Sichuan Opera classes, so that more children can understand Sichuan Opera, love Sichuan Opera and devote themselves to Sichuan Opera art, guide them to accept the influence of excellent traditional culture, and cultivate their interest and hobby in Sichuan Opera.
