华府“京剧之花”网站首发感言
京剧從乾隆年間徽班進京呈現雏形，历经兩百多年發展，有過輝煌，有過磨難；文革十年遭劫，元氣大傷；所幸底蘊深厚，拂尘撣垢，华彩依旧。由萌芽而兴盛，京剧靠的是各行當出類拔萃的名角，同時也離不開從宮廷士大夫到草根階層票友台前幕后的参与。在今日地球村，有华人的角落，常聞京曲，常見票友，因為，中华文化之根，华人立身處世的信念之根，就是“孝悌忠信，礼仪廉恥”，这正是京剧艺术表現的主題。
今天，在美國首都華盛頓，有这样五，六位女性，來自大江南北，從事各行各業，本來素不相識，因為熱愛京剧，聚集在一起。有心要在異國他鄉，奉獻一份心力，為京剧這棵根深葉茂、经历過几许沧桑、目前又处于秋風冷雨中的大樹，做一些培土看护之工，為其日後枝葉的葳蕤储蓄力量。她们自名“京剧之花”，既寓女性之意，又指京剧之美。她們相信，真正的艺术，无惧式微；有心挽狂澜于既倒，端看事在人为。为了这个心愿，她们奉獻著工餘的時間精力，为京剧寻找展示魅力的平台。從建網站這一小步開始，立千里之行的宏愿，廣交天下同好，或演唱，或講座，或聊戲，或為文，希望來自不同國度和文化的朋友了解中國京剧的精深博大。
“京剧之花”盼望今日的新栽小苗，能在阳光雨露兼收并蓄中，有一日绽放不一样的芬芳。到那时，回首今日的始创，自会有一份由衷的欣慰和骄傲。
