Speaking of Peking Opera, we can't forget Niu Zihou, Shen Jia, Ye Chunshan, Xiao Changhua, Su Yuqing, Song Qishan and Tang Zong Cheng. The class has trained students in seven subjects: happiness, association, wealth, prosperity, world, yuan and rhyme. Almost all the best Peking Opera artists in the 20th century came from this class. Ye Chunshan's former residence is located in Baihai Hutong 15 and 17. Xiao Changhua's former residence is at No.88 Xicaochang Hutong. 1904 On the first day of the first month, the "Xiliansheng" training course run by Ye Chunshan was established in Southwest Park. 1906 moved to the former iron works and changed its name to "Xiliansheng". After the Revolution of 1911, Niu went bankrupt and the training course was transferred to Shenyang, the outer hall of Andingmen, Beijing. 19 12 was renamed as "Fulian City", and 192 1 was moved to the east and south of Hufang Bridge. Classes have been held in Liulichang, and performances have also been held in Guanghe Building, Guangde Building and New World Stage at the west exit of Xiangchang Road in Dashilan.
During the more than 200 years from Huiban's arrival in Beijing to the formation and development of Beijing Opera, he never left Qianmen, Liulichang and Toona sinensis, and always took Liulichang as the center. Therefore, if you want to know about Beijing Opera, you must go to Liulichang instead of visiting the former residence of Beijing Opera artists.
This is the charm of the factory. If we can't talk for days and nights, if we can't go for ten or eight days, there will always be loopholes and some unknowns to explore. Books are history on paper, and real history can only be felt by field visits.
