What are the artistic features of Qiong Opera?

The musical vocals of Qiong Opera can be divided into two categories: in the early stage, it was a "Qupai-style" singing aid. For example, some plays such as Pipa, Huaiyin, Flat Peach Banquet and Happy Birthday to the Eight Immortals all have their own lyrics, and some even use some big-character posters and ditties. Later, it evolved into a "plate cavity". The original Qupai style and bangqiang were gradually eliminated, and now only traces can be found in some plays or in the banqiang such as Cheng Tu and Zhong Ban. Plate cavity is divided into medium plate, craft plate, bitter sigh plate, cavity type and special cavity type. There is also a kind of gong and drum music that specializes in operating the stage (that is, disturbing the stage). In addition, it also absorbed Hainan Taoist altar music such as Lotus, Chigo, Golden Thread, Gold Phase, Lingbaoke and other folk music, song and dance music. The core of singing is the middle board (including the middle board of Sanqi). This kind of singing evolved from seven-character board (also called "seven-flat board"), with different boards such as middle, slow, fast, scattered, main line, reverse line, outer line and inner line. It has strong adaptability. No matter life, end, purity, ugliness and miscellaneous, it can be used when performing different emotional changes. It is an ancient singing style of Qiong Opera.

Qiongju's martial arts belong to the Southern School and his boxing belongs to Shaolin. It uses real knives and guns, and there are acrobatic performances. There were not many famous martial artists in the Qing Dynasty, who could use more than a dozen weapons, including flying swords and piercing columns, piercing armor knives and dancing fire racks. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also learned martial arts from the North School. In the first few years of the scenery, each class hung a piece of white cloth in Taichung and painted the patterns of musicians (gongs, drums, suona musicians and musical instruments). Musicians in the fields of literature and martial arts are placed on the left and right. In the late Qing dynasty, it was changed to black or flower curtains, with colorful pictures presented by the audience on both sides. After the May 4th Movement, colored embroidered curtains were used, followed by various painting sets (such as halls, palaces, pavilions, landscapes, etc.). ) are used, and they rise and fall according to the order of script fields. Clothing was originally used only in the Han Dynasty. Official uniforms are embroidered, and scholars, village girls and robbers only use white, black, blue and red shirts, skirts and robes. Boots and shoes have thin soles; Soldiers paint soap, robbers wear sandals. Reform was initiated before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the crown costume was designed according to the needs of the script.
