Interpretation of terms of traditional Chinese opera cultural relics

Traditional Chinese opera cultural relics refer to historical and cultural relics related to traditional Chinese opera that remain in society or are buried underground. Including tomb relics, inscriptions, paintings and sculptures, handwritten and carved characters, stage buildings or sites. Some of these physical materials have been discovered and excavated, and some have yet to be discovered and excavated. Studying these material objects is of great significance to understand the historical characteristics of the development of China opera and explore the historical causes of the artistic forms of China opera. There are many physical materials of operas left over from history, which can be roughly divided into five categories.

China opera is mainly composed of folk songs and dances, rap and burlesque. It originated from primitive song and dance and is a comprehensive stage art form with a long history.

pre-Qin period

(A) Pre-Qin-the embryonic stage of China traditional opera. The "Ode" in The Book of Songs and the "Nine Songs" in The Songs of Chu are the lyrics of singing and dancing when offering sacrifices to the gods. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, recreational songs and dances gradually evolved. From the Han and Wei Dynasties to the mid-Tang Dynasty, there appeared "Jiao Di" (that is, a hundred plays), in which "joining the army" performed in a question-and-answer way and "dancers" performing short stories of life were all budding plays.

the Tang Dynasty

(2) The Tang Dynasty (middle and late period)-the formation period of traditional Chinese opera. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, China's drama advanced by leaps and bounds, and the art of drama gradually took shape.

The prosperity of literature and art in Tang Dynasty was the result of high economic development, which promoted the self-reliance of traditional Chinese opera art and gave it rich nutrition. The rhythm of poetry and the maturity of narrative poetry have a decisive influence on China traditional opera. The prosperity of music and dance provides the most solid foundation for the performance and singing of traditional Chinese opera. The professional research and standardized training of Jiao Fang Pear Garden have improved the artistic level of artists, accelerated the dramatic process of singing and dancing, and produced a number of opera plays with singing and dancing.

In the prosperous new century, living and working in peace and contentment will inevitably require more cultural entertainment, especially mass opera activities and folk entertainment activities. In the slack season, it is often a "self-learning class", and it is also a form for them to exchange feelings and learn culture, history and morality.
