Today, they\u2019re per\u00adform\u00ading an excerpt from the clas\u00adsic mar\u00adtial arts play \u201cWu Song Fights the Tiger.\u201d Before the show even begins, a dis\u00adtur\u00adbance aris\u00ades. First, Wu Song Cat is late. As he rush\u00ades in, he bumps into Tiger Cat, who\u2019s already furi\u00adous and near\u00adly comes to blows. How can the show con\u00adtin\u00adue in this sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion?<\/p>\n<p>What?

Pass\u00ading through Yang\u00adgu Coun\u00adty, he stops at a tav\u00adern at the foot of Jingyang Ridge to imbibe a strong drink. See\u00ading Wu Song\u2019s intox\u00adi\u00adca\u00adtion and the late hour, the innkeep\u00ader tells him that a fero\u00adcious tiger has roamed the moun\u00adtain and urges him to rest and con\u00adtin\u00adue his jour\u00adney the next day. How\u00adev\u00ader, the hero, know\u00ading full well that a tiger is lurk\u00ading in the moun\u00adtains, stag\u00adgers towards the hill.<\/p>\n<p>Wu Song Lying Drunk on the Blue\u00adstone<\/p>\n<p>The tiger is com\u00ading, Wu Song is com\u00ading!<\/p>\n<p>On Jingyang Ridge, Wu Song lay drunk\u00aden\u00adly on a blue\u00adstone. Sud\u00adden\u00adly, a fierce wind blew, and a tiger pounced. Wu Song dodged, rais\u00ading his club and strik\u00ading the tiger. Man and tiger, fight\u00ading for their lives, the bat\u00adtle raged, the sky dark\u00aden\u00ading, the earth lurch\u00ading with dan\u00adger. Wu Song broke his club, and with his bare hands, he seized the tiger and struck it with all his might. After a fierce strug\u00adgle, he final\u00adly killed the tiger, rid\u00adding the peo\u00adple of this evil.<\/p>\n<p>He killed a tiger in the moun\u00adtains with his pow\u00ader\u00adful fists and became famous all over the world!<\/p>\n<p>On stage, Wu Song Cat and Tiger Cat col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adrat\u00aded seam\u00adless\u00adly, per\u00adform\u00ading a spec\u00adtac\u00adu\u00adlar tiger-fight\u00ading spec\u00adta\u00adcle. Tiger Cat\u2019s feroc\u00adi\u00adty and Wu Song\u2019s prowess drew applause and cheers. The two actors enthu\u00adsi\u00adas\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly shared their secrets: despite their real\u00adis\u00adtic com\u00adbat, they nev\u00ader touched each oth\u00ader. Their mas\u00adter\u00adful act\u00ading and rap\u00adport were tru\u00adly remark\u00adable! Tiger Cat even revealed that his pre-per\u00adfor\u00admance \u201ctantrum\u201d was sim\u00adply to invig\u00ado\u00adrate the tiger\u2019s feroc\u00adi\u00adty.<\/p>\n<p>Haha, it turns out that every\u00adone has their own unique skills.<\/p>\n<p>Final\u00adly, this pair of good part\u00adners on stage and good friends off stage, walked home hand in hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Sto\u00adry\u00adteller Aji\u00adayun\u3011<\/p>\n<p>Com\u00adpared to Peking Opera Cats\u2019 \u201cChang\u00adban\u00adpo,\u201d the Peking Opera in the pic\u00adture book \u201cWu Song Fight\u00ading the Tiger\u201d is much sim\u00adpler. Chil\u00addren often choose this one if they have to choose between them. Recent\u00adly, after repeat\u00aded read\u00adings, ele\u00admen\u00adtary school stu\u00addents were able to pin\u00adpoint a minor flaw in the work\u2019s struc\u00adture (the order of the pic\u00adtures). Their exper\u00adtise is tru\u00adly impres\u00adsive! I won\u2019t dis\u00adcuss the flaw for now; you can find it your\u00adself.<\/p>\n<p>The mar\u00adtial arts scenes depict\u00aded in this book are well-known, and the plot is sim\u00adple, so the stage rhythm is clear\u00ader and more famil\u00adiar to read\u00aders. It reminds me not only of Wu Song in Peking Opera, but also of \u201cThe Fool\u00adish and the Unhap\u00adpy,\u201d writ\u00adten by Mr. Ren Yon\u00adgrong and lat\u00ader adapt\u00aded into an ani\u00admat\u00aded film. When I first read the begin\u00adning of the sto\u00adry, I thought the tiger cat also had the style of \u201cUnhap\u00adpy\u201d, but it turns out not to be the case! The sub\u00adse\u00adquent part where the two actors talk about the play is very rare and won\u00adder\u00adful, it is sim\u00adply a liv\u00ading \u201cPeking Opera basics text\u00adbook\u201d. Here I have found some \u201cteach\u00ading mate\u00adri\u00adals\u201d for you, which are absolute\u00adly excel\u00adlent \u2014 a clip of Wu Song fight\u00ading the tiger, star\u00adring Mr. Gai Jiaot\u00adian, the \u201cliv\u00ading Wu Song\u201d. This is prob\u00ada\u00adbly the best Peking Opera \u201cWu Song Fight\u00ading the Tiger\u201d we can see today:<\/p>\n<p>Take your chil\u00addren to see more plays when you have the chance, and make life slow\u00ader:)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u4eac\u5267\u732b\u4e4b\u300a\u6b66\u677e\u6253\u864e\u300b\u5c01\u9762 \u4eac\u5267\u732b\u4e4b\u300a\u6b66\u677e\u6253\u864e\u300b\u6545\u4e8b\u6897\u6982 \u5728\u8fd9\u4e2a\u6545\u4e8b\u91cc\uff0c\u4eac\u5267\u732b\u4eec\u5df2\u7ecf\u6210\u7acb\u4e86\u4e13\u4e1a\u7684\u5267\u793e\u3002\u4eca\u5929\u6f14\u51fa\u7ecf [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,23,12],"tags":[116,113,5,120,121,6,26],"class_list":["post-1090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-review","category-timemachine","category-ajia-review","tag-116","tag-113","tag-5","tag-120","tag-121","tag-6","tag-26"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1090"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090\/revisions\/1155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ajia.site\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
