With most people staying
at home because of COVID-19, livestreaming (直播) has
taken off. It is not only fun and interesting, but has also
provided a new stage (舞台) for traditional culture artists.
On video sites and apps
such as Douyin and Bilibili, many traditional artists are trying livestreaming
for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their hand-made
products, while others perform classical Chinese music.
Li Jun is a laosheng
(old male role) Peking Opera performer with the Shanghai Jingju Theater
Company. During the outbreak, the 59-year-old started livestreaming for the
first time. Unlike performing on a formal stage, Li uses everyday places as his
stage, including his backyard, study room, and even the kitchen. Besides
singing, Li also teaches viewers about Peking Opera in a humorous way. People
can ask him questions and get answers directly.
"Livestreaming has
brought this elegant (高雅的) art down to earth,"
one viewer said. "It allows young people to get closer to this traditional
art and learn more about it." Up to now Li has more than 6,000 fans on
Douyin, while one of his videos has received 42,000 views on Bilibili.
Other kinds of artists
also see livestreaming as a new opportunity. On March 26, the third China Huafu
Day, Bilibili livestreamed a fashion show. Performers presented beautiful
clothes in traditional Chinese styles, including those from the Wei (220-265), Tang
(618-907) and Ming (1368-1644) dynasties. During the show, viewers not only
enjoyed seeing the clothes but also watching how performers use ancient styles
of make-up. For example, one blogger taught people how to draw the guiye
eyebrow (桂叶眉) which was a typical
make-up style during the Tang Dynasty.
As Guangming Daily
noted, livestreaming has created a new way in which traditional culture can be
kept alive.
