论昆剧的战略继承——对昆剧形而上学继承论调的批评

如何保护昆剧 ?近百年来昆剧急剧衰落的历史证明 ,折子戏一招一式的战术性继承最终不能保全昆剧。昆剧的战略继承要求对继承主体的认识 ,从传统的艺人向观众位移 ,只为昆剧的观众秉执大权 ,能对昆剧进行生杀予夺。长期以来 ,正是由于我们继承思维的局限 ,一贯无视“观众选择”的法则 ,从而不能有效遏止折子戏的高速衰亡。直到上世纪 80年代文化部提出昆剧“八字方针”后 ,才为昆剧的科学保护提供了理论基础。今天 ,昆剧振兴的标志不应该是折子戏的反复会演 ,而应该是本戏演出的繁荣。优秀的本戏演出是观众归来的主渠道 ,也是昆剧保护、继承的一项十分繁重的战略任务。

On the Strategic Inheritance of Kunqu Operas--A Criticism of the Metaphysical Viewpoint of Inheritance of Kunqu Operas

How can Kunqu operas survive? The rapid decline of Kunqu operas in the last century indicates that the tactic performance of the highlights from kunqu operas will not help to prevent Kunqu from extinction. The audience's enthusiasm is the key to its development. The "eight character" policy enacted by the Ministry of Culture in 1980s has laid the theoretical foundation for the effective protection of Kunqu operas. Today to re energize Kunqu operas depends on the performance of the whole operas rather than the highlights from them. The classic performance of the whole operas is a main channel through which the audience will flock together, and is also a heavy strategic task of protecting and developing Kunqu operas.
