Where does the non-legacy drama come from?

Lu Opera is the representative of Shandong local operas.

Shandong Opera originated in Qin Shu, Shandong Province, and it is the most important musical form in Shandong Province, which can best represent the Shandong style, which has been widely recognized by the academic circles. However, as a form of drama, there are different opinions about the origin of Lu Opera.

Around 1880 (the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty), Sun Zhongxin partnered with singers such as Liu to create stories such as Stepmother Beating Children and Examining Qingyang.

Play roles according to the characters in the story, and perform makeup according to the plot. At that time, the masses called this art form "singing a small play", and the main accompaniment instrument was four strings. Later, in the aspect of accompaniment, dulcimer and pendant were added, and the singing was changed from "Miao Deng Qiang" to "sitting and dulcimer", and soon it developed into "loading dulcimer".

The hometown of Lu opera art;

Lu Yi Town, Boxing County, Binzhou City is "the hometown of Lu Opera in China" and "the hometown of folk culture and art in China". Lu Opera, one of the eight major operas in China, originated here.

It is understood that as early as the late 1960s, there was a Zhuanghu Troupe in Coco Town. Every traditional festival, the troupe goes out to perform and is deeply loved by the local people. At present, the "Zhuanghu Troupe" in Lu Yi Town has an active performance, which combines the culture of "drama entering the countryside" to perform for the benefit of the people, and has toured more than 400 performances every year. The rise and inheritance of "Zhuanghu Opera Troupe" has played an important role in protecting and inheriting Lu Opera and enriched the cultural life of rural people.

The activities of "Zhuanghu Troupe" can not be separated from the profound local drama culture soil. It is understood that around 1870, folk artists absorbed musical elements such as Qin Shu in North Road and Drum in East Road, and formed a "disguised dulcimer" with the basic characteristics of local operas.

In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), the boxer Sun Zhongxin and others performed in partnership. After continuous improvement and innovation, more than 30 pieces of music, such as Siping, Baner, Running Water and Doll's House, have been formed, which has gradually made Lu Opera mature.

There are many names for the formation of Lu Opera, such as "Donkey Opera", "Banju Opera" and "Lu Opera". It was not until 1944' s "Looking for a Husband" was published that Lu Opera was named. 1946, at the initiative of Liu Guanyou, Zhang Chuanhai and Zhang Mingran, the amateur Lu Troupe was established, and it was renamed as the Troupe in 195 1 year.

At that time, the government organized the old artists in Liuguan Village and recruited more than 30 young actors and actresses to form the Lu Opera Troupe, which was the earliest and largest in Shandong Province. During the development of Lu Opera, more than 100 Lu Opera artists have taught their skills from outsiders, and Lu Opera has developed rapidly throughout the country and has become one of the eight major operas in China.
