When the spring breeze along the canal meets the elegant charm of the thousand year old pear orchard, a traditional cultural light and shadow journey full of expectations begins. Recently, the "Canal Pear Garden Night · Light and Shadow Reflecting Thousands of Homes" Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal Beijing Opera Film Parade (Tianjin Station) and the special ideological and political courses on opera in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools were held in the lecture hall of Tianjin No.1 Middle School, providing a bridge for nearly a hundred students to experience the charm of opera and appreciate the excellent traditional cultural heritage of China. As an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, Peking Opera embodies the essence of Chinese aesthetics. In 1905, the first film was born in China, the Peking Opera film Dingjun Mountain, which opened the journey of Chinese people's light and shadow; Now, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema, the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal is fully connected, and Peking Opera films are paraded along the river, using light and shadow as pens to redraw this cultural path that witnesses the birth of Peking Opera. The creative sharing of Liu Xuezhong, the director of the Beijing opera film "Jiujiangkou", became the focus of the entire audience. "Jiujiangkou tells not only the plot and loyalty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but also the essence of the Chinese people." Liu Xuezhong stood in front of the screen and told the students off the stage. In his opinion, whenever it comes to traditional Chinese opera stories, people always think of the stories of emperors, generals, talented scholars, and beautiful women. In fact, the most fundamental message it conveys is the concept of "loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and righteousness" in traditional Chinese culture. Chinese opera movies can allow students of all ages to understand the profound and extensive art form of Chinese opera through the medium of movies. Each story of Chinese opera will give contemporary young people some new thinking, and we students will also experience different life values from it, "said Liu Xuezhong. At the salon session of "Exhibition of Excellence", art teachers Zhao Qianye, Li Binghang, and Wang Mingyan from Tianjin No.1 High School transformed into "cultural guides" and led their students upstream in the long river of opera. The organic combination of reasoning and narrative is a feasible way to promote the reform of ideological and political education. Finding good story materials is the basic condition for good ideological and political education. Chinese opera, represented by Peking Opera, contains many good stories that have been accumulated for thousands of years and sung for generations, "said Xue Hongguo, an ideological and political education teacher at Tianjin No.1 High School. '' During the event, Liu Jiaxin, an excellent flower faced actress from Tianjin Peking Opera Theater, combined with the play "Jiujiangkou" to explain the characteristics of Jingxing art in Peking Opera and interacted enthusiastically with her classmates. I have always been fond of Peking Opera. This time, I had a close-up experience of the basic skills of Peking Opera actors in singing, reciting, doing, and fighting. At the same time, I personally went on stage to experience imitation, which felt very different. I believe that inheriting opera culture cannot be limited to books, but should be experienced firsthand, so as to understand its beauty and let it reach more people, "said Wang Junjie, a student at Tianjin Sino German University of Applied Sciences. When "ideological and political education in film and television" meets "the quintessence of Peking Opera", the collision not only sparks artistic appreciation, but also a spiritual dialogue that transcends time and space. Movies carry culture and the style of the times, and contain a wealth of content. In the future, we hope to continue promoting various types of movies such as Peking Opera into schools, combining 'film and television' with 'ideological and political education', enriching campus cultural life, and allowing ideological and political education to soak every student's heart like spring breeze and rain, "said Xing Yuan, Executive Deputy Director of Tianjin Film and Television Ideological and Political Education Center.
