Artistic characteristics of Henan pendants

Henan pendant originated in Henan, which is a traditional form of Quyi. It is a combination of Quyi Daoqing, Yinggeliu and Sanxianshu, which are popular in Henan and northern Anhui. Below, I will share the artistic characteristics of Henan pendants for you, hoping to help you!

Sing music

Singing is the leading part of Henan pendant singing, which is composed of various tunes (banqiang). Including the introduction, the beginning, the flat cavity, the delivery cavity, the tail cavity and other parts. According to the different sentence patterns of the lyrics, the singing methods such as three-character collapse, five-character embedding, seven-character rhyme, clever rhyme and white rolling are adopted to form obvious rhythm and melody changes and express different feelings.

Although there are many tunes in "Henan pendant", it is based on a subjective basic aria tune, which is repeated, developed and changed according to the different laws of aria and the different needs of the story.

At the same time, the traditional vocal music tunes, such as introduction, branding, three-character jump, five-character embedding, big and small cold rhyme, are comprehensively processed, and characteristic phrases and fragments are organically combined in vocal music, so that the whole vocal music works are colorful, harmonious and unified.

Henan pendants have many singing methods in traditional singing methods. Some started with a tight rhythm, and then suddenly a loose board (suddenly slowed down) was accompanied by a large swing. There are also the first few words that are white, and then the cavity.

Pingqiang refers to the singing part in the middle of the aria, which focuses on the narrative of the story and is the main part of singing. Pingqiang is composed of several small paragraphs, which are divided into opening sentences and narrative sentences. The opening sentences are mostly two or four sentences, and the narrative sentences are infinitely repeated, varied and large in capacity.

The formation of various schools of Henan pendants is that they have different flat cavities. These tunes are different, some are gorgeous and smooth, some are simple and tough, some are sad and some are bold.

Falling cavity refers to a short paragraph or a phrase used at the end of an aria. Some are gorgeous, some are cheerful and playful, and they are crisp and neat.

The mode of Henan pendant singing is mainly tone-seeking, because the main body of Henan pendant singing is flat voice, and flat voice is mainly tone-seeking. The board type is usually one board and one eye (that is, 2/4 beat), and there are also forms such as turning white without eyes (1/4 beat), scattering the board, playing tightly and singing slowly, and singing while talking.

Form of performance

Henan pendant uses Henan dialect rap performance, mainly singing. According to the fragments in the singing, the vocals used mainly include "Pingqiang", "Kuaizhaban", "Wu Ban", "Wuzikan" and "Duoban". The lyrics are basically seven words. The accompaniment plays the piano, and some of them step on the bangzi. In the early days, most of them sang short stories, and some actors sang long stories. Modern theme tracks are all short stories.

The way of early rap performance was "stand-up crosstalk", in which a singer played ebony or jujube with his left hand and sang while playing; Later, the "opposite play" was developed, in which two people sang in pairs, one played the simple board, and the other played the cymbal or the book drum; There is also a "group mouth" where three people perform together; There are also a few who sing by themselves; Each of these methods has its own suitable scheme.

Most of the performances are "two-person shift" with one pull and one singing, except that the singer plays with a wooden stick. When singing, put a table with a small brass cymbal, a wake-up call and a small leather drum on it.

The stringed instrument player who plays the piano sits at the table, and the singer stands at the table, with a simple board in his left hand and a bamboo stick in his right hand. With the melody of the piano, the drums beat hard (the board), the drums beat hard (the eyes), and the hands and feet of the strings beat hard.

The grip of the simple board should be shoulder height, neither too high nor too low. When you need to knock the cymbals, put down the simple board and pick up the stick. Some don't have drums or cymbals, but only hold a simple board, and their right hands are empty, and they cooperate with their left hands to make various movements. Awakening wood is only used occasionally in long books. Some people tied the piano to their waist, and they could stand and sing, go door to door, and sing while walking. In the old society, it was called "running stalls" and "begging skillfully".

When the professional team performs, there is no table. After the announcer finished the program, the band took a seat, the actor came into the arena with the simple board, punched the simple board, the band entered the door, the simple board was hit by it, and then began to sing. For groups of more than three people, simple boards can be changed hands, which requires unity. There are many bands, and most badminton is not needed. Some people specialize in rhythm. Players can also put down their instruments or enter the character with them.

The characters and movements of Henan pendant are exquisite and vivid. Use your hands and feet neatly. The key to the performance of Sanxianshu is that Henan pendants are basically universal, but some opinions are different. For example, "Erlang takes the mountain" and "one step at a time", and the pendant in Henan is called "Bright Wings" and "Legend of Two Immortals". The "one step, three phases" performance skill of Henan pendant in eastern Henan is also used.

Henan pendant, like other kinds of music, is mainly rap, supplemented by performance. An actor must practice his oral skills.

Accompaniment instrument

The accompaniment instrument of Henan pendant is Hu, also called Qinhe Henan pendant. Originally, it was a stringed instrument, which was changed from a small drum with three strings. Tune four degrees, the prelude is "5- 1", and the aria is changed to "2-5". Because it often changes to five degrees, the artist said, "Leave the board five degrees and sing five degrees." Tribal tigers are mainly accompanied by cavity, sometimes combined with flowers, or with young and old, in order to compare singing and improve artistic expression.

With the development of the times, the accompaniment band of Henan pendant has been greatly improved, and various musical instruments have been added, such as erhu, dulcimer, sanxian, pipa and cello. The percussion instruments of Henan pendant are mainly simple boards, except for the shuttlecock and the hairpin.

Many accomplished artists play with simple boards very skillfully, not only knocking on boards, blinking, adding flowers, and playing together, but also as props for performances. ? The prelude and interlude of Henan pendant are called "crossing the board" by artists.

Before the book is opened, artists often improvise to create a warm atmosphere and attract the audience. Some people call it "noisy", also called "Pantou", "crossing the street" and "noisy Taiwan". After the quarrel, before the start of each section, the door was beaten by Hu. The first section was called the big board and the second section was called the small board.

The oversize board suddenly breaks at some time, followed by the undersize board. After repeated evolution, it has also become a prelude often used by professional teams.
