Cultural heritage is no longer a family

I've watched "Tuina" and "Gua Sha", and now I'm watching "Changing Face", this one is the most exciting. There are too many "exclusives" in China, too many to count, but none of them seem to have spread well, all of which are at a precarious level, or are seriously deteriorating. I was once curious about the art of changing face, but it is like magic, the magic lies in its magic.

Looking back at the face-changing in 1995, a touching grandfather and grandson love unfolded along with the art of face-changing. The face-changing king, the dog baby, and the living Guanyin, three people with different social orientations had a thousand-turn intersection. The old drama bone Zhu Xu, and two little dolls with excellent acting skills, especially the dog doll, are not much inferior to Xiulan Temple. There are not many face-changing scenes in the play. The point is to tell the hard work of the old artists for the inheritance of skills. I have a deep memory of the saying that the face-changing is passed on to men and not women. The girl became someone else's family, and took on someone else's surname. But there are also heroes among women. Sometimes girls are as good at learning as boys, so one more person should be able to acquire a skill. The "little teapot mouth" that makes people laugh in the play is really a very cute description. Not only in China, but in many places with relatively backward thinking all over the world, this small mouth is highly valued.

Unjust, false and wrongful cases, the ability of those in power to do things, 20 years ago and 20 years later, there is really not much progress today. Some time ago, there were several retrials of unjust cases. It seems that people are gnashing their teeth and losing money or not, even if they are in power The loss of the person's life is not worth it, the time that is gone can come back, the innocence of that life can come back, and those missed emotional companions can't come back again. Such a thing happened in this play as well. It was a trick, and all the inaction accumulated by oneself was turned into a shit pot and buckled on people. To survive in such a gap, inheritance has become a miracle.

    The simple love between ancestors and grandchildren is touching, and the inheritance of national culture is touching and sincere. "Face Change" not only respects the inheritance of traditional cultural skills, but also criticizes its negative feudal corruption. Feminism has become a trend of thought. The profound inner depth of the film and the contradictory contemplation of the good and the evil of human nature all emerge from Wu Tianming's light and shadow art.
