杨兰春，豫剧编剧与导演的双绝高手，他的艺术生涯始于1938年，当时他还只是一个充满热情和梦想的青年。1943年，他加入了八路军，随后在1945年的抗日战争中跟随大军南下到达河南省。在这里，他见证了历史的变迁，也成长为一名坚定的人民公仆。转业后，杨兰春先后担任过洛阳县、市、专区文工团（队）长，这段经历让他深刻理解人民群众对文化艺术需求的迫切性。
1952年，杨兰春来到了中央戏剧学院歌剧系学习，在那里，他结识了许多同行，并与田川、胡沙等合作改编了一出名作《小二黑结婚》，这部作品不仅成为中国歌剧舞剧院的一份宝贵财富，而且至今仍然被保留下来，是对他的无限赞誉。学习结束后，杨兰春回到了家乡，以编剧兼导演身份工作在河南省歌剧团，为当地文化发展贡献自己的力量。
1956年起，杨兰春陆续担任河南豫剧院艺术市副主任、豫剧三团团长以及河南省文化局核心小组成员等职位。他不仅是一位杰出的戏曲创作者，更是现代戏发展和繁荣中的重要推动者。在他的努力下，《朝阳沟》这部代表作曾三次进京演出，不仅赢得了党和国家领导人的高度赞赏，还被多次出版并广泛传播，被誉为“《朝阳沟》之父”。
在40余年的艺术实践中，杨兰春以继承传统为基础，将新的导演艺术融入其中，从而形成了一种独具特色的艺术风格。他还曾担任中国戏曲现代研究会常务理事、中共十一届全国委员会委员等职，对于促进中国戏曲事业的发展做出了巨大的贡献。
2009年，由于健康原因逝世，但他的精神依旧激励着新一代艺人，以及所有热爱戏曲的人们。Yang Lan Chun, a master of both playwriting and directing in Henan Opera, his artistic career began in 1938 when he was still a young man full of passion and dreams. In 1943, he joined the Eighth Route Army and later followed the army southward to Henan Province during the Anti-Japanese War. After demobilization, Yang worked as head of various art troupes in different levels of government offices in Luoyang City.
In 1952, Yang enrolled at the Central Academy of Drama's opera department where he collaborated with Tian Jianwen and Hu Sha on an adaptation of "Little Black's Wedding," which became a prized possession for China Opera House. Upon graduation, Yang returned home to work as playwright-director for Henan Opera Troupe.
From 1956 onwards, Yang held various positions such as deputy director-general of Artistic Affairs Bureau at Henan Opera Theatre; director-general (team leader) at Third Team; member core group at Provincial Cultural Bureau. He not only excelled as a playwright but also made significant contributions to modern drama development through organization.
The three performances in Beijing by "Amazons' Gorge" showcased his prowess behind the scenes while garnering praise from party leaders nationwide; it has been published multiple times by major publishing houses like People's Literature Publishing House and Beijing Publishers among others.
Over four decades dedicated to this craft have seen Yang refining traditional techniques with new innovations resulting unique styles that leave indelible marks on audiences worldwide. His influence extends beyond stage performances: serving roles like vice chairman Chinese Society Dramatic Arts Association & Chinese Research Institute Modern Drama amongst many other appointments cemented his position within China’s theatre landscape before passing away due illness complications at age eighty-nine years old – leaving us all richer having witnessed him take center stage so often over those remarkable forty plus years!
