说到戏曲，你可能会想到京剧。但你听说过秦腔吗？
秦腔是中国最古老的戏曲形式之一。它起源于陕西、甘肃一带的古老民间歌舞。据一些记载，这种地方戏曲可追溯至秦朝，具有很高的历史研究价值。
侯艳是宁夏演艺集团秦腔剧院的院长。她4岁开始学习秦腔。秦腔基本功的训练极具挑战性。1985年，侯艳在一所艺术学校学习，那里的老师对学生要求非常严格。训练时，每一个基本动作都必须准确地保持半小时，一个小错误就意味着她得重新开始。压腿、弯腰和空翻只是侯艳日常训练的一部分。她的努力最终得到了回报。
侯艳16岁时成为银川一个剧团的演员。但在1993年，流行音乐和西方音乐的席卷之势给秦腔带来了沉重打击。剧团解散了，侯艳别无选择，只能离开戏曲舞台。
在过去的几十年里，中国为发展传统文化付出了巨大努力。地方政府想出了很多办法来鼓励人们更多地关注我们的传统文化。幸运的是，侯艳在2000年有机会重返舞台，再次全身心投入到这种戏曲形式中。
现在，侯艳的团队每年要演出数百场。演员们都精力充沛、活泼可爱。他们通常以积极、欢快的方式合作。“随着我们对自己的文化越来越有信心，越来越多的年轻人为我们的传统文化感到自豪，并将其视为一种时尚潮流，”侯艳说。
