Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, Double Fifth Festival, or Poet's Day, is one of the ancient traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. During this festival, people pay homage to the sages, participate in dragon boat races, and enjoy the spirit of midsummer. Originating from ancient beliefs in epidemic prevention and rituals for plague spirits, the Dragon Boat Festival integrates both natural and cultural significances, serving as both a seasonal marker and a traditional holiday. On this day, people honor their ancestors and remember the sages; they also engage in dragon boat races to enjoy the fullness of summer. In Chinese opera, the Dragon Boat Festival holds a special significance. The World Music Seeds proudly presents the "Festival Melodies" series with the "Classic Peking Opera Songs for Dragon Boat Festival," featuring a collection of classic Peking Opera arias associated with Dragon Boat Festival customs. This album includes 6 classic Peking Opera arias from traditional productions, including "White Snake," "The Beheading of Chen Shimei," "Wuhua Cave," and "Four Wuhua Cave." 曲目简介 01 Xipi-White Snake: Tragedy 西皮-白娘子(顿时间只落得鸳鸯折颈) 02 Xipi-White Snake: Resentment 西皮-白娘子(恨伊行无故地分鸾镜) 艺术家:荀慧生 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 《白娘子》描述的是一个修炼成人形的蛇精与人的曲折爱情故事。故事包括篷船借伞,白娘子盗灵芝仙草,水漫金山,断桥,雷峰塔,许仙之子仕林祭塔等情节。表达了人民对男女自由恋爱的赞美向往和对封建势力无理束缚的憎恨。端午节有饮用雄黄酒,以驱蚊蛇、辟湿毒的习俗,在民间传说中,雄黄酒具有驱邪解毒的功效。也是在端午节的这天,法海教唆许仙给白娘子喝下雄黄酒,白娘子现出了原形。这段剧情也是《白娘子》一个非常重要的戏剧高潮。白娘子醉后显露蛇形,吓死许仙。白娘子醒后舍生忘死去仙山盗回仙草,救活许仙。不料许仙病后初愈,又被诱上金山寺。白娘子和青蛇赶到,法海不准许仙出来相见。白娘子与青儿调动水族水漫金山。法海请来神将护法助战,白娘子因临近产期,节节败退,在水族护送下,杀出重围。白娘子至断桥,追怀往事。许仙已感后悔赶来相会,青儿气恼,欲斩,白娘子急拦,说明真相和苦衷,并劝小青宽恕许仙,许仙大为感动。此处两段唱段所讲述的就是白素贞自金山寺战败后,行至西湖断桥,腹疼难行,望着断桥触景生情,心中委屈悲愤。情绪饱满,引人入胜,把白素贞对许仙的爱与恨都尽倾于此。 03 Xipi-The Beheading of Chen Shimei: Persuade 西皮-铡美案(包龙图打坐在开封府) 艺术家:裘桂仙 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 《铡美案》又名《秦香莲》《明公断》,是京剧传统剧目。该剧目讲述了北宋年间包拯不畏权势,执法如山,把驸马陈世美处之以法,斩杀于龙头铡之下的故事.“曾记得端午日朝贺天子,我与你在朝房曾把话提。说起了招赘事你神色不定,我料你在原郡定有前妻”,唱出了包拯的铁面无私、公正不阿,包拯的义正严辞揭露了陈世美的恶行,将其处之以法,斩杀于龙头铡之下。 04 Xipi-Wuhua Cave: Argue in Court 西皮-五花洞(老爷在上容奴禀) 艺术家:姜妙香 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 京剧《五花洞》又叫《五毒传》《三矮奇闻》《真假潘金莲》,是一出经典的端午“应节戏”。端午俗称为五毒日,“五毒”代表蜈蚣、蝎子、蝎虎、蛇与蛤蟆,因此,以这五毒为主人公的神怪剧《五花洞》成为这个节日中不可或缺的京剧剧目。五毒精幻化成潘金莲、武大郎二人,以假乱真。知县吴大炮一时难断真假,便上告包公。包公请来张天师和天兵天将,降伏五毒。该剧剧情较为荒诞,但却是一出极为热闹的节日戏。 05 Xipi-Four Wuhua Cave: Goblin Copies a Sour Mood 西皮-四五花洞(不由得潘金莲怒恼眉梢) 06 Xipi-Four Wuhua Cave: Goblin Mimics Pan Jinlian Speech 西皮-四五花洞(年荒旱夫妻们受尽煎熬) 艺术家:梅兰芳/尚小云/程砚秋/荀慧生 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 京剧传统戏《五花洞》,经梅兰芳、尚小云、程观秋、荀慧生“四大名旦”分饰真潘金莲,四人同声念白:“咳!这是从哪里说起……”接拉过门,梅、尚、荀、程依次各唱一句,发挥四大流派的唱腔特色,最后合唱十三咳,以《四五花洞》名之,曾轰动一时。宋代,武大郎与潘金莲夫妻俩因年月不好,离家去寻兄弟武松。蜈蚣、蝎子、壁虎、蛤蟆、毒蛇等在五花洞修炼成精,因恨仙道张天师与它们作对,前往京都作乱。路遇武大郎携妻潘金莲寻访其弟武松,见二人一矮丑、一娇媚,相映成趣,遂幻化成二人模样相戏。真假武大郎、潘金莲相貌言语一般无二,难辨真伪,乃互相扭至阳谷县衙申告。知县吴大炮难以判识,五毒精又变出一假知县与之哄闹。恰逢包拯(另有版本为张天师)巡视至此,以照妖镜辨出真伪,又请来天兵天将降服了众妖。原戏中有一真一假一对,后来越加越多,两对(两真两假)演就叫“四五花洞”,四对演(四真四假)就叫“八五花洞”。十对演(五真五假)被称为“十五花洞”。
