繼承傳統文化：北京市將大力推進京劇進校園

Peking Opera is being introduced to primary and middle school students in an effort to promote the traditional art to the younger generation, Beijing News reported on Tuesday.

　　星期二，新京報報道，為了使年輕一代更好的傳承中國傳統文化，京劇正在被引入中小學(微博)課堂。

　　The country』s first set of textbooks about Peking Opera was compiled and published by the Beijing Association of Promoting Quintessence of Chinese Culture and People』s Education Press in 2015.

　　2015年，北京國粹藝術傳承促進會已經與人民教育出版社合作,編寫、出版了中國第一套京劇教科書。

　　The textbooks for optional courses have been put on trial use in middle schools in Fengtai district and will be used in middle schools across the city. The textbooks for primary schools will also be rolled out.

　　目前這套初中版的京劇選修教材已在丰台區初中階段試用，將在全市推廣。同時小學版京劇教材也將適時推出。

　　Since 2008, Beijing has promoted a program to provide opera training at dozens of primary schools. Schools apply for funds from the city』s education department to hire professional actors and actresses to work with students as young as 6 or 7.

　　早在2008年，北京就推出了京劇進校園項目。學校可向北京市的教育部門申請資金，以聘請專業表演家們給學生上課。六七歲的孩子都可以參加培訓。
Peking Opera arose during the rule of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It flourished for decades in China and as its fame spread, it drew audiences in other countries, including the United States and Japan.

　　京劇形成於清朝（1644-1911）乾隆皇帝統治時期，隨著其聲名鵲起，數十年來在中國盛極一時，甚至吸引了不少來自美國、日本的外國觀眾。

　　Yet over the years, its popularity diminished. While a significant number of people listened to radio productions of Peking Opera before the 1980s, generations born after that pursued pop culture over the traditional arts.

　　然而，近年來，它的熱度開始消退。出生於80年前的老一輩人中，有相當一部分只能去聽一些京劇的音像製品，而80年以後的人們都漸漸只對流行文化感興趣，摒棄了傳統文化。
