近日，在湖南汉剧《反武科》的表演中，吴益冰饰演的岳飞与凌世玉饰演的柴桂，以长枪对打为核心，通过唱腔、身段、步法和眼神的配合，呈现出截然不同的人物状态。吴益冰动作沉稳利落，枪法刚劲有力，将岳飞的果敢与从容表现得层次分明；凌世玉则以更富变化的节奏和身段，展现柴桂由强势应战到渐显慌乱的情绪转折。两人的攻守进退彼此牵引，使武科场上的较量既有力量感，也更具戏剧张力。而在刀枪起落之外，《反武科》所呈现的不畏强权、坚守公正、心怀家国的精神，也让这出传统武戏在今天依然具有打动人心的力量。

In a recent performance of Hunan Han Opera (also known as Changde Han Opera) Fan Wuke(Defiance at the Martial Examination ), Wu Yibing’s Yue Fei faced Ling Shiyu’s Chai Gui in a spear duel. Through their singing, stylized movements, footwork and expressive eye work, the two performers portray sharply contrasting characters. Wu’s steady, crisp movements and forceful spearwork render Yue Fei’s courage and composure with great nuance. Ling, meanwhile, shifts his rhythm and movements to portray Chai Gui’s emotional turn from a defiant challenger to someone increasingly thrown off balance. Their intertwined exchanges of attack and defense, advance and retreat, bring both physical intensity and dramatic tension to the martial examination scene. More than a display of martial skill, this opera piece also conveys enduring values — the courage to stand up against tyranny, uphold justice and remain devoted to one’s country. These themes still give this traditional martial opera strong relevance and emotional appeal today.
