The 90-minute performance and experience touched me not by Zhao's family's family seeking justice, not by the Wang family's inheritance of filial piety, not by the soul of 232 masters returning to their hometown; What touched me was the seriousness and interaction of all the actors, each expression and action, is a person like a ripple in the crowd with the waves, is the last peach blossom red apricot flower white in the sentence "We are Shanxi people" heavy and proud

Pingyao

What moved me during the 90-minute performance and experience was not the sacrifice of the Zhao family for justice, not the inheritance of filial piety by the Wang family, not the return of the souls of the 232 escorts to their hometowns;
What moved me was the seriousness and interaction of all the actors in every expression and action, a person like a mayfly in the crowd, and the heaviness and pride of the last sentence &quot;We are Shanxi people&quot; in the red peach blossoms and white apricot blossoms.

After watching Only Henan, I wanted to watch See Pingyao Again! I took advantage of the holiday to come to Pingyao Ancient City to experience the charm of Pingyao. The overall plot revolves around Zhao Dongjia, who opened the escort agency. There were laughter, tears and touching moments. All the actors were very dedicated and professional. The part where Zhao Dongjia chose his wife attracted me so much. The stage design in the theater was shocking and had a strong visual impact. It showed the spirit of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness of the Shanxi people.

5星不到也没有4.5星只能评了4星。没去平遥之前就有去过的朋友介绍说这个特别好看，所以带着期待。首先说下优点，确实是第一次看这种沉浸式体验的演出，从入场开始就是去不同的场景看表演。最后一个场景坐下看他们跳舞的部分反而是最无聊的。如果是第一次看演出的人可能觉得不错，而我看过各地景点各种表演长恨歌啊千古情啊没有十场也有八场了所以觉得没有那么优秀。这个故事还挺伟大的，感觉至少有200个参演的演员，演员们非常有信念感的把自己融入这个场景之中，水里洗澡也很冷很敬业。所以票价是演员换来的。来平遥没事可以看看。

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yishuo, the owner of the ticket shop in Pingyao Ancient City, sold all his property and saved a branch of Wang, the shopkeeper, from Tsarist Russia. 232 escorts from Tongxing Public Escort Agency went together. Seven years later, Zhao Dongjia himself and 232 escorts all died on the way, but the Wang family bloodline continued...
See Pingyao again.
&quot;See Pingyao Again&quot;.
In the crowd, I met a man in a long gown and a jacket and asked me: &quot;Did you see? The villagers have all gone to the South Gate.&quot; I am a person from 2021, where is this?
I traveled through time, yes, I traveled through time and space and came to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The actors restored every bit of the Zhao family&#39;s past for us in the crowd. We moved to a different scene. The old South Gate was still bustling with people coming and going. The prosperous Zhao Family Courtyard was full of red lanterns and singing and dancing. The prosperous streets and alleys of the ancient city were full of traffic. Each scene change was completed quietly, with clever design and continuous surprises.
The most touching thing is that in the way of showing the death of the escort, the director did not directly express the misery and sadness, but used the symbolic ghosts on the city wall to complete the narration of the story in the dialogue. The thoughts, loyalty, worry and reluctance were vividly displayed in the actors&#39; emotions: the noble qualities of benevolence, righteousness and trust of the escorts were flesh and blood.
The simple, loyal and kind personality charm of Pingyao people is vivid.
It can be said that:
Seven years of life and death are in vain, and there is no place to talk about the desolation in the lonely grave outside the pass. At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown in a dream, climbed the city wall, and stared.
The most amazing thing is &quot;selecting a wife&quot;. In just a few minutes, a woman showed her arms, palms, waist, hips, feet, and face, and finally made a complete appearance, highlighting the moral tradition of Pingyao people and showing the charm of that era. We were there and experienced the selection of wives by a wealthy family. The standards and requirements were really high. Compared with modern people&#39;s free love and independent marriage, the complicated marriage etiquette of the ancients was full of etiquette norms, moral standards, and traditional customs that could be compared with the law.
Every brick and tile, every piece of clothing and cloth here condenses the hard work of director Wang Chaoge, and reflects his good taste and novel way of thinking. You may as well taste and appreciate it slowly while watching the play.
See Pingyao again, and see the justice of Shanxi merchants again.
See Pingyao again, and see the benevolence and virtue of Pingyao people again.
See Pingyao again, and see the endless blood of Yanhuang.
See Pingyao again, and see Wang Chaoge again.
