What are the characteristics of Qinqiang art

The Qinqiang is a self-contained system, which has its own characteristics, ranging from the facial features to the singing voice, the dao bai, the board road, the stance, the performance program techniques and even the roles. According to the "Qinqiang remembering", the music of the Qinqiang is characterized by "big gongs and drums, Gongshang mixed, crowned with both the beauty of peace and justice. This is the Qinqiang's style, but also the elements of the establishment of the chaotic bomb also".

Qinqiang was influenced by Kunqiang, Yiyangqiang and Qingyangqiang during its development. The instruments of Qinqiang include gongs, drums, clappers, strings, flutes, and zona. The tone is high and exciting, and the rhythm is strong and distinctive. The singing sentences are mostly seven sentences and cross sentences. However, the singing section must be an even sentence. The last word of the odd-numbered lines is an aversion to sound, and the last word of the even-numbered lines is a flat sound, and is required to rhyme. The music of Qinqiang belongs to the board cavity style, which is convenient for lyricism and narration. The Qinqiang has nearly 200 music tags, and the singing plates are divided into five parts: collapsing, rolling, shaking, generation, and padding, and there are also flower sounds and bitter sounds. The flowery tone expresses joy and happiness, while the bitter tone expresses sadness and sorrow. The prominent feature of Qinqiang singing is the high and vigorous voice, which requires the use of real voice singing, generally without falsetto, maintaining the original, bold and rough characteristics. "Singing and roaring up" is one of the ten strangest things in Shaanxi. However, this kind of singing is the inherent style of Qinqiang's "big gongs and drums" and "sound-shaking forests and trees, ringing clouds". Its primitive, rough, bold, is an indication of its ancient; and in the high-pitched excitement, there is no lack of soft and delicate, lingering singing.

The roles of Qinqiang are divided into a dozen or so, such as old Dan, Lao Sheng, Su Sheng, Xiao Sheng, Zheng Dan, Hua Dan, Wu Dan, Matchmaker Dan, Da Jie, Mao Jie, and Jiu Jiao. The performances emphasize the truthfulness of the feelings, requiring the actors to be truthful in every move, and to be obvious and strong in joy, laughter, anger, scolding, sadness, grief, sorrow, love, hate, hatred, and desire, so as to achieve the effect of "pretending to be like someone else and pretending to be whoever they want to be".

Another characteristic of the Qinqiang is that it is full of exaggeration, with a strong flavor of life and many stunts, such as fire-breathing, falling and playing with beards, etc. The repertoire of the Qinqiang is also very rich. The repertoire of the Qinqiang is also very rich, most of which are based on the "Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms", "Yang Jiagong" and some historical legends.
