Shaanxi opera: the singing method and singing characteristics of adagio 1. Tight-opening singing: it is a special and typical singing method, and its tight-opening is the first cavity of adagio singing, that is, the first three words are sung continuously, while the rhythm and duration are relatively free. This kind of singing is often used in the opening of a play or the first cavity of an important aria, which has the characteristics of passion and chanting. Different from tight singing, it is slow opening, long melody structure and meticulous expression.

2. Stop: Allegro. The stop head or tight stop head is different from the printing plate speed. Usually only sing an adagio, and then turn to the "tight 26" board. For example, when singing two or more adagios, the rules are the same as those of the general adagio, but the tune is simple, the speed is relatively fast, and it is passionate and powerful. The plate rhythm of this singing method has a typical dramatic color. Sometimes the next sentence can also be sung as stop board. Due to different starting methods, there are pestle head, slow proud head, long pestle head and pile head.

3. Beat: It is called "slow beat" because it is sung with adagio. (also known as "flash board"). Laying the board refers to changing the basic rules of adagio cavity sentences, making some cavity nodes change the relationship between strength and weakness, omitting the door, and making the upper and lower sentences form a chorus. Often inserted into adagio sentences, it cannot be an independent aria. Sometimes you can sing a few words in a row and turn it into a "26" disc. This kind of singing is especially common in traditional drama. For example, in "Putting Rice", Zhu sang "Marshal Guo pulled out a strong man in front of my house".

4. Yin Si Board: Its aria structure, beat, sentence-starting and cavity-dropping rules are the same as those of Adagio. The difference is that the melody is performed in the bass area, and the mood is very miserable and weak. This kind of singing is only used when the characters in the play are dying or coming back from the dead. The clitoris has only a bitter voice. In adagio, this adagio, which sings with a negative board, is mostly used for horns and horns. Such as the aria of Wang's wife before she died in Revenge of Blood and Tears.

5, typhoid fever: it is also an adagio with a low melody. Generally similar to the negative plate, but with different purposes. The typhoid tune is mainly used by the characters in the play when they are sick, injured, faint, lazy, extremely sad and regretful. Such as Zhuge Liang's "Huluyu Sacrifice Lamp".
