Chapter 232 Visiting the Lantern Festival is not just about lights (22, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket)
This old restaurant in Yuyuan is actually not just selling steamed buns like Xiaolongbao, it can actually order food for dinner.

Stewed large intestines with Beijing green onions, Stir-fried Vegetables, Braised East China Sea Pomfret, Kung Fu Eel Back, Braised Shrimp and Crab, Stir-Fried Winter Bamboo Shoots with Tower Vegetables, Salted Egg Yolk Duck Roll, Local Smoked Fish...

The traditional dishes of the Old Devil's City ordered by Dai Yuni are quite distinctive, let Yang Qian experience the local dishes of the Old Devil's City.

Of course, Yang Qian is a little bit uncomfortable with it. After all, the local dishes in Shanghai have the characteristics of "thick oil and red sauce", and most of them are sweet.

"Eating a small amount is still delicious, but it needs to be paired with vegetarian dishes so that it won't be so sweet that it makes you snore."

In order to eat these dishes, Yang Qian even cooked a lot of rice, and then suppressed the sweetness.

"It's a bit sweet, but I think its problem is that it is too juicy! Like this pomfret, I have eaten it at your place before, and I prefer the one you made. It is fried and burnt. Very fragrant!"

Dai Yuni and Yang Qian discussed enthusiastically.

snort!This is Xi Shi in the eye of the beholder, falling in love, and even dislike the characteristics of hometown cuisine?

Dai Zhenhong wrinkled his nose.

Although Dai Yuni didn't mean that, she was just talking about the dishes.

But Dai Zhenhong is unwilling to admit that Yang Qian's cooking skills are good. In his opinion, the two dishes Yang Qian cooked at noon are very ordinary!
The mutton didn't impress him, it was just plain stewed mutton. Which one of those private chefs was better than Yang Qian?
As for the sandworms, although Dai Zhenhong did not deny that they were indeed delicious, he felt that this was due to the ingredients.

However, Yang Qian just can't eat such sweet food, and he still likes the other local dishes of Shanghai.Especially the steamed bun that Dai Yuni mentioned before, seems to have become Yang Qian's favorite.

"This Xiaolongtangbao is very delicious. There is a lot of soup. If you dip it in this vinegar, it tastes very delicious!"

Yang Qian was full of praise.

"Is it delicious? I guess you will like it, because you like to drink morning tea so much, and all you eat are these buns, steamed buns, and dumplings!"

Dai Yuni saw that he was eating carefully, even the soup in the steamed buns was not willing to waste, and the drippings were put in a spoon, and finally mixed with vinegar and drank it all, she also smiled happily, her eyebrows curved of.

"I used to eat Xiaolongtangbao in the school cafeteria. Although it was not as delicious as the current one, it tasted very good. After graduation, I couldn't find a second shop that sold this authentic Xiaolongtangbao. It is almost impossible to find a store in Hecheng, and there may be one in Yangcheng, but I don’t have time to look for it either..."

Yang Qian and Dai Yuni recalled the story of himself and Xiaolongbao.

"After that, if you come to Shanghai more often, I'll take you there to eat. There are too many authentic Xiaolongbao in Shanghai, and this shop is actually not the most authentic."

Dai Yuni said happily.

Still let him come to Shanghai?

Dai Zhenhong felt a little unhappy when he heard it, and couldn't help waving for the waiter.

"Two baskets of steamed buns!"

Comrade Dai didn't order like this because he thought Yang Qian liked to eat steamed buns, and he was afraid that he would not dare to eat more.

eat, eat!Eat as much as you want at a time, and you will never come to Shanghai again!

However, adding two more baskets may not be enough, because the portion of Xiaolongbao is too small, how much is the sum of three baskets?

……

Sitting on the second floor of this old store for dinner actually has another advantage, that is, you can sit by the window, drink tea, watch the crowds of tourists downstairs, and look at the smoky, The psychedelic water theater has actors in ancient costumes performing Kunqu Opera.

This is much more comfortable than crowding people down there!
Young people like Dai Yuni and Yang Qian may still like to join in the fun, but Dai Zhenhong likes to sit in such a "VIP box" and laugh at the wind and waves.

Now, Dai Zhenhong is taking advantage of the leisure time after eating, drinking tea and resting slowly, watching this Yuyuan Lantern Festival where there are many young people, thinking about issues that he has not reached a conclusion before.

Yang Qian and Dai Yuni were also chatting about the Kunqu opera performance in the water theater.

"Is this kind of opera performance combined with scenic spots a kind of inheritance and development of opera?"

Dai Yuni asked Yang Qian with a smile.

Of course, they were not talking about whether Kunqu opera was good or not, or whether the actors were professional or not, because they, including Yang Qian, didn't know how to appreciate drama.

Peking opera is a little better. In the past, the school had open classes related to Peking opera.

But I really don't understand Kunqu opera, and I don't quite understand what this "Zhongzhou rhyme" is singing.

It may be okay to listen word by word, but if you listen word by word incoherently, it is easy to get confused.

However, even though they don't understand, Yang Qian and Dai Yuni still have deep respect for this kind of opera with a history of more than 600 years, especially Yang Qian, who heard about the opera being performed from other people's discussions When the name was called "The Peony Pavilion", I was immediately in awe.

Kunqu opera masterpiece "The Peony Pavilion"!

The original work is "Resurrection" by Tang Xianzu, a famous dramatist and writer in the Ming Dynasty. It was later adapted into Kunqu opera and many opera varieties.

Of course, what Yang Qian was impressed with was Tang Xianzu. This ancestor was exiled to Hecheng in Guangdong Province because he attacked the emperor with sparse prose. Made a great contribution to the local cultural enlightenment.

"Kunqu opera can be regarded as being inherited, but it is not considered to be developed. Because although they are no longer limited to the theater, they have gradually begun to come out to serve the public, but the situation of opera has not improved much! You see, in this garden The audience stopped and went, most of them just wanted to take a photo and post it on Moments, but how many of them wanted to calm down and enjoy Kunqu Opera, our Chinese cultural treasure?"

Yang Qian felt a little emotional.

"That's right, but I can't appreciate opera either, mainly because I don't understand it."

Dai Yuni felt that these tourists could not be blamed.

"Yes, the problem of opera is actually too sunny. The operas we listen to are still those decades ago. The innovation and changes are not visible for the time being, and its relatively high threshold for singing and appreciation is also difficult. To a certain extent, it limits its spread."

While Yang Qian regretted, he also remembered the problems encountered by other cultural classifications.

In fact, whether it is the opera represented by Peking Opera, the classical music represented by classical piano music, or the classic pop music that Yang Qian likes, in fact, they all have encountered more or less difficulties. The predicament of change.

"Didn't I tell you before that the reason why the classics have been handed down is because they are beautiful and pleasant to listen to, and both lyrics and music are worthy of appreciation and study?"

Yang Qian said to Dai Yuni.

"Yes, so you want to continue to make high-quality pop music, so that everyone can re-recognize the beauty of pop music, instead of indulging in the magic of short video music."

Dai Yuni nodded.

"This kind of statement has its correctness and its limitations. Correctness is good. It is indeed worth inheriting and studying, like these Kunqu operas and Peking opera, but now seeing the plight of operas, I understood that simply emphasizing the goodness of popular music, its musicality, literary quality, and positive influence on people is not enough.”

"Whether it is music or opera, in fact, it is necessary to keep moving forward. Development and innovation are the last words. You can't just look at the good works of the past, and you can't always think about letting young people accept the good works of the past. , while ignoring the more individualized and more diverse needs of young people."

"Like "The Ballad in Dreams" written by my teacher and sung by Mr. Chai Jiang, is this song not good? Good! Is it a classic? A classic! Many big stages still sing this song, but it is still sung by young people. Among the group, there are not too many people who like it, everyone will like songs with some dramatic accents, some fancy singing styles, and some fresh feelings."

"We can't ignore these needs, including the rock, rap, folk songs, etc. I said before that Moxing Music is good at it. Many types of music are actually continuing the vitality of music, and they are blooming music that is different from the past. Glory!"

What Yang Qian said surprised Dai Zhenhong, who was still somewhat disdainful of his high-spirited speech.

Don't these thoughts coincide with my own idea of ​​adapting to Internet thinking and catering to the preferences of young people?

"You mean, we can still cooperate with Mount Music in the future and write some rock and rap songs?"

Dai Yuni was thoughtful.

"I didn't object to cooperating with Mount Music before."

Yang Qian smiled and explained.

"I just said that I can't go to Mount Music, because it doesn't fit with the philosophy of many of their singers."

"All types of music, we can try, touch, and learn when we have the opportunity in the future. I have never rejected these types of music."

"What I'm talking about now is actually how to make changes on the basis of inheriting the classics! Like a lot of opera music now, I think it's a good attempt. Combining opera and pop music, it gives the audience a refreshing feeling and gives the audience a new feeling. Young people promoted opera."

"Of course, their writing is not good enough, or there are endless plagiarisms, and some Internet celebrities who sing opera are not good at singing, and they all rely on their appearance. These are indeed problems."

Dai Yuni couldn't help but nodded when she heard this:
"That's right, don't you dislike internet celebrity singers?"

Yang Qian's previous attitude was actually quite distinct.

"No, it's not that I don't like Internet celebrity singers. I just think they are overly commercialized. After becoming popular, they didn't learn to improve themselves. Instead, they tried to find hot spots and continue to become popular and continue to make money."

"If they are willing to carefully polish their singing skills and work hard to be a good Internet celebrity singer with strength and character, then I think they have also made a great contribution to music. After all, they also spread music. It has promoted music and made more ordinary people interested in music."

Dai Yuni nodded thoughtfully.

"You mean, like opera, you still need to let go of yourself, go deep into the audience, understand their needs, and then innovate and change?"

Dai Yuni seemed to understand what Yang Qian wanted to do.

"Yes, opera needs innovation and change, and pop music also needs it! The diversified development of music, the integration of music and other art forms, and the development of music among the masses are all good things for music!"

"I talked to my teacher, the key to music development is to give guidance, to prevent piracy and copyright infringement, which once again hit the enthusiasm of music creators."

"The key is to guide musicians and singers to become professional, to popularize singing skills and music theory knowledge, so that everyone can sing well and compose well. Even in the category of rock, there can be some songs that promote positive energy. A group of talented singers who can sing well appear!"

"In this way, the development of music can be regarded as on the right track, and it can only get better and better!"

Yang Qian didn't know if he could do so much, he just wanted to work hard towards his seemingly naive goal.

　The operation ended in the afternoon, and it went very quickly and smoothly, but he couldn't be discharged from the hospital for the time being, due to the new requirements of the hospital, so Xiaohan occasionally helped his father bring meals there.It will be updated normally tomorrow, and the family has given a lot of support. Xiaohan's daughter-in-law is cooking and taking the baby down to play, giving Xiaohan plenty of time to code.I wrote a few more chapters about the plot with Comrade Lao Dai, but it is mainly to pave the way for the future plot, and I hope you don't mind.
