Introduction to allegro art

Allegro is a traditional rap art, which belongs to the rhyming genre of China Quyi. In the early years, it was called "Jilaibao", also known as "Dingdang", "Liukou" and "Lianhualuo", which was sung by the poor in the Song Dynasty. Allegro was originally a way and means for beggars to beg for money or food along the street, with a long history; Allegro really existed as a performance form of Quyi art after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Allegro has made great progress, forming three famous art schools in China, namely, Gao School (), Wang School () and Li School ().

Allegro's performance mode is relatively simple, and there are three performance modes: single mouth, lip-synching and lip-synching. Lyrics can rhyme freely, and a paragraph of lyrics can rhyme freely, which is called "Hua Zhe". During the performance, the actors use bamboo boards or beat the time. Generally, only short programs with strong reasoning or lyricism are performed. After the art of Allegro was formed, they began to focus on creating and performing long bibliographies. While Allegro is developing, due to the differences in regional environment, local dialects and performance styles in different periods in history, many branches have been derived, such as: Jibao, Lotus Falls, Bamboo Board Books, Tan Drum, Allegro Books, Imperial Board Books, Allegro Mini Allegro, Allegro Tianjin, Allegro Shaanxi, Allegro Lanzhou, Allegro Wu 'an, Allegro Sichuan and Allegro Lotus Falls Shaoxing.
