现在,读书的人越来越少了。不少人家里有名牌电视,高档家具,惟独没有书柜;有的有书柜且装满了贵书,但那只是摆设而已。不仅一般老百姓很少读书,就是所谓读书人,现在也不大读书了。这种不爱读书的情况,在戏曲艺术界也严重存在。当今不少戏曲艺术工作者,本来文化艺术水平就不高,却一不刻苦练功,二不认真读书。当今的戏曲艺术工作者,光学艺,不读书,难成大器,更难以创造出适应新时代新观众的新戏曲。以人为鉴,可以知得失;以史为鉴可以知兴替。一部中国戏曲发展史,明白无误地告诉我们:没有“书”的涵养,就没有“戏”的辉煌。 Now, fewer and fewer people are studying. Many people have a famous brand of home TV, high-end furniture, but no bookcase; some bookcases and filled with expensive books, but it is only display it. Not only ordinary people rarely study, is the so-called scholar, and now not a big study. This kind of situation that does not love reading is also serious in the art of opera. Today, many opera artists, arts and culture would have been not high, but one not hard martial arts, two do not seriously study. Today’s opera and art workers can not create new operas that will adapt to new audiences in a new era by using optical art, not reading books and becoming a hard-core device. Lessons from the people, you can know the gains and losses; A history of the development of Chinese opera tells us with no error that there is no brilliant “play” without the cultivation of “books.”
