It is a kind of Kunqu Opera, commonly known as "Cao Kun", popular in Shilian Town, Suichang County, and popular in Ming Dynasty. It is staged every year during the "July Festival" to celebrate the local harvest. After the relentless erosion of the historical tide, there was a fault in Shichuan, Suichang at the beginning of the century, leaving only Reich Neng, an old man in Shikengkou Village, playing.

Fan Shi is a popular form of instrumental music in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty. It combines various musical instruments and plays several pieces in turn.

Fan Shi in Suichang, known as "Fan Shi Kunqu Opera in Suichang", is unique in ten traditional dramas such as Peony Pavilion, Purple Hairpin, Conan, Handan, Palace of Eternal Life and Huansha. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Xianzu served as the magistrate of Suichang for five years. During this period, Tang Xianzu brought Kunqu opera to Suichang, and the folk formed the tradition of singing Kunqu opera. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Kunqu Opera classes, singing classes, gongs and drums, and top ten performances in Suichang were particularly prosperous. There are ten teams in the county, Dazhe, Shi Lian and Hushan, and there are also ten teams in the women's large class and small class. Its performances are mainly temple fairs and parades at the Spring Festival Lantern Festival, as well as performances in festival halls and festivals. In the 1950s, the temple fair was closed, and Kunqu opera was silent for decades, and it was on the verge of being lost.

The County Cultural Center adapted the traditional play "Peony Pavilion" into an instrumental ensemble "Tian Jun New Music" and won the prize in the provincial music and dance performance. Later, due to various reasons of the organizers, Fan Shi was banned again.

In the winter of 2000, comrades from the county cultural center went to the countryside for investigation, and found five or six old artists in their seventies and eighties in Shikengkou village of Shilian town, and found Fan Shi's works spectrum, which mobilized the young people in the village to inherit Fan Shi. In August, 20001,Fan Shi team from Shikengkou participated in the presentation performance of the first annual meeting of China Tang Xianzu Research Association held in Suichang County, which was highly praised by experts and paid attention by the media.

Suichang Fan Shi is the strangest of the ten places. The ensemble of Qi music is neither a folk ditty nor a beating of gongs and drums, but a simple and elegant "North-South Ci" with the Kunqu Qupai in Tang Xianzu's Four Dreams, especially the Peony Pavilion as the main repertoire.

For hundreds of years, the top ten folk artists in Suichang followed suit, taking the Zheng Kun Palace Pool score of Tang Xianzu's Peony Pavilion as the opening score of their singing and playing Kunqu Opera. In 200 1 year, the first annual meeting of China Tang Xianzu Research Association was held in Suichang. Once it was performed, it attracted wide attention from experts and scholars.

Suichang is located between Lishui and Quzhou, with Songyang High Cavity in the east and Xi 'an High Cavity and Houyang High Cavity in the north. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has always been a traditional land of high-pitched, excessive and grass-rich. Kunqu opera can go deep into the people, and researchers generally believe that Tang Xianzu promoted the spread of Kunqu opera in Suichang.

Tang Xianzu called Suichang "xian county" more than once and called himself "Xian Ling". Tang Xianzu, who loves nature by nature, traveled all over the city.

In the fourth year of Ming Dynasty, Jinshi Longtu visited Tang Xianzu in Suichang many times and visited Dushan. As he walked, he passed the Nanqiao Building at the entrance of the village and stopped in front of the Ye Memorial archway at the entrance of the village. This archway was built by Chi Yude, the magistrate of Suichang County, for his father during the Ming Dynasty.

Dramatist Tu Long has his own Kunqu opera class, and Tang Xianzu can also review the music. They used to read and discuss The West Chamber together at night. Although Tang Xianzu and Tu Long have different views on "love", the essence of The West Chamber is the word "love". For the Peony Pavilion written by Tang Xianzu, the dream came out of emotion and became a play, which gave Du Liniang illusory and true feelings, and a Qimxy handed down from generation to generation was born.

Tang Xianzu was not born in Suichang, but as a world cultural celebrity and his Peony Pavilion, he was praised as a masterpiece of world literature. Suichang, as the place where Tang Xianzu was in charge of the creation of Peony Pavilion, has always been a place where Chinese and foreign experts and scholars of "Tang Studies" came to visit the former site, collect historical materials and conduct on-the-spot investigation and research.

From 65438 to 0995, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall built in Suichang has now developed into an important base for spreading and popularizing Tang Xianzu culture in China.

While protecting and cultivating the original ecological folk Kunqu culture in Fan Shi, Shi Lian, Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall set up a Kunqu training center to learn and perform Peony Pavilion based on the three cultural brands of "Tang Xianzu's world cultural celebrity, Peony Pavilion's world cultural masterpiece and Kunqu Opera's world cultural heritage", which made Tang Xianzu's culture form a development pattern with ten regional folk fans and elegant connotation.
