梅兰芳 / Mei Lanfang

梅兰芳 / Mei Lanfang appears in Qinji 131-2 as the performer/reformer who reshapes 《贵妃醉酒》. The source says earlier versions of the Yang Guifei drunken scene had more explicit erotic material, and Mei Lanfang’s handling removed or softened those parts.

His source role is about cultural transmission. Mei Lanfang makes the work suitable for classic-stage reception without removing its basic emotional engine: 杨贵妃’s humiliation, longing, drunken movement, and loss of favor remain legible.
