Returning to the original state and finding the original vitality of "National Wind", Kunqu Opera is also heroic. After stage refining and several polishing, the large-scale original Kunqu Opera "National Wind" made its debut again in the Tianqiao Theater on the evening of October 14. The play was tailored by Luo Huaizhen, a playwright, for the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater. The famous director Cao Qijing acted as the general director, and co directed with the director Xu Chunlan. In the play, Mrs. Xu Mu is played by Wei Chunrong, a winner of the Plum Blossom Prize, and Wang Zhenyi, a winner of the Plum Blossom Prize, and Yuan Guoliang, a first-class national actor, who jointly play the role. They vividly interpret the character's character and temperament, and show the generous and heroic inner charm with the graceful and elegant Kunqu Opera. The patriotic poem 2700 years ago came out of the dust of history. The original Kunqu opera "National Wind" was funded by the Beijing Culture and Arts Fund in 2020. It is based on the famous historical figure Lady Xu Mu in the Spring and Autumn Period. She is the first female poet in the history of Chinese literature. Her poems "Bamboo Pole", "Spring Water" and "Zaichi" are true portraits of her patriotic actions and feelings. They are included in the classic "The Book of Songs · National Style" and have been handed down to this day. 2700 years ago, a song named "Zai Chi" expressed Mrs. Xu Mu's firm will and unyielding pledge to return to her country and fight against Dike, which was a true reflection of her patriotic feelings. The original Kun opera "Guofeng" let Mrs. Xu Mu walk out of the dust of history. Compared with traditional operas, the original Kunqu Opera Guofeng is innovative while retaining the artistic gene of Kunqu Opera, drawing on other stage performance forms and integrating modern aesthetic elements to create a simple and elegant artistic effect. According to Yang Fengyi, the director of the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater, "Guofeng draws on the dance beauty and lighting of drama and song and dance performances, and also integrates some modern elements into the costume design to create a simple and elegant artistic effect." It took two or three years for the Kun Opera Guofeng to discuss the script and form it, and then it took two years for rehearsal and processing before it was formally presented to the audience. In addition to fireworks and other colors, the play is also generous and heroic. The play is divided into five chapters: "Go to the country", "He Shang", "Zai Chi", "Beg for help" and "Afterword". The story tells about the Spring and Autumn Period. Only because the king of the State of Xu presented two precious colored cranes, he married Princess Wei Jixi to the State of Wei. Ten years after Jixi's marriage, Wei was occupied and annexed by Di. Hearing of the demise of his old country, Ji Xi begged King Xu to send troops to save the guards. King Xu was afraid of the powerful state of Di and was afraid of being burned, so he refused Ji Xi's request. In desperation, Ji Xi embarked on his return journey alone. She overcame many obstacles and finally arrived at the border of Wei State, but met her brother who gave up resistance and prepared to flee. Ji Xi wakes up his younger brother, inspires the people, and vows to restore the country. He set out on a journey to borrow troops from Qi. After a long journey and a long time of toil, Ji Xi finally died in the bright sunshine of his hometown after recovery. King Xu and his sons escorted her coffin to bury in Xu. Her lofty patriotism and immortal patriotic poems transcended specific countries and times and became the eternal spiritual wealth and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. Luo Huaizhen, the screenwriter, believes that the story of Guofeng is very consistent with the temperament of Beikun. After writing the first draft, Luo Huaizhen took it to Beikun to read the script for Dean Yang Fengyi and the leading actor Wei Chunrong. "Kunqu Opera should not only have fireworks, but also be generous
