主题:【珍藏版】昆曲600年(英语版)十集大型纪录片 -- 青稞酒
This is a fantastic 10 part series of documentaries on the 600 year history of the Kunqu Opera.
The Kunqu Opera (昆曲) was the most popular form of entertainment in China for many centuries up until the late 19th century, where it was torn apart by war just as the rest of the country. The decline of Kunqu was inevitable, as less and less people were educated enough to understand and appreciate the eternal beauty of the Kunqu lyrics and performances. By the 1920s, Kunqu was almost extinct. Kunqu was the ancestor of all forms of Chinese opera, elements of Kunqu performances were borrowed by and absorbed into other operas such as the Peking Opera, the Huang'mei Opera, the Yue Opera, the Shanghai Opera, the Sichuan Opera, etc.
After the founding of The People's Republic of China, Kunqu was revived again, and now many performances are held regularly across China. The latest performances including the staging of The Peony Pavilion (young people's edition) in the Peiking University. Younger generations are showing increasing interest in this beautiful traditional opera.
The ability to appreciate Kunqu opera is a must for anyone who wish to achieve higher mastery of the Chinese language and literature (actually higher mastery of both Chinese and English if you are appreciating this documentary series).

昆曲算是一出戏救了一个剧种,好象是《十五贯》吧?得到了周总理的好评。
昆剧《十五贯》是昆剧史上具有里程碑式重大意义的名剧。解放初期,独领风骚数百年的这门高雅艺术面临几乎灭绝的困境。直到1956年,周传瑛、王传淞主演的新编昆剧《十五贯》的公演引起了轰动,由此创造了“一出戏救活一个剧种”的奇迹。
无锡肉铺老板尤葫芦借到十五贯做生意的本钱,酒后跟女儿戍娟开玩笑说是卖她的身价钱。女儿却信以为真,当夜离家出逃。正巧赌徒地痞娄阿鼠也在深夜闯进尤家,杀死了尤葫芦并盗走这十五贯钱,事发后反诬告是戍娟贪财弑父。戍娟出逃后,偶遇客商伙计熊友兰,二人素不相识,碰巧同行,邻居看见却怀疑二人有染。熊友兰身上正巧带着收帐要回来的十五贯钱,两人便被扭送进县衙。知县过于执听信一面之辞,武断地认定是戍娟勾结奸夫共同谋财害命,判定将苏、熊二人斩首示众。监斩官况钟根据蛛丝马迹看出此案件另有蹊跷,力争延缓执行死刑。况钟随后仔细调查此案,发现了娄阿鼠的破绽,并用计套出他杀人的口供。最终,杀人的娄阿鼠得到了应有的惩罚,戍娟和熊友兰和冤屈得以昭雪。
