Artistic characteristics of Taiwanese opera

At the beginning, Taiwanese opera was mainly a duet between a man and a woman. Later, it developed into a mature drama with three lines: rationality, fun, white, life, courage and ugliness. His life has a small life, an old life, a literary life and a martial arts life. His life has a bitter life and a righteous life, and an ugly life has three flowers and a wife. All the colors are sung with real voices, and the most distinctive one is Kudan.

The content of Taiwanese opera is mainly to sing Han folk stories. The repertoires include Chen Sanwu Niang, Liu Xiu Fuxuan, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Biography of Ji Gong, Butterfly Lovers and so on. Most of them emphasize loyalty and filial piety, and there is generally no fixed script. So far, it still follows the way Mr. Xi tells the play and assigns roles.

The songs of Taiwanese opera are more white and less, and the beat is free. There are seven tones, crying words and myths in the music tunes of Taiwanese opera, while Daobai is a Taiwan Province accent synthesized from Xiamen and Zhangzhou dialects. The lyrics can be long or short, depending on the plot. Among many kinds of traditional tunes of 100, there are melodious and high-pitched seven-character tunes, major tunes and retro tunes, absent-minded tunes of folk songs used in Taiwan Province Province, and various melancholy and sad crying tunes. In addition, it also absorbed local folk songs and some opera music in Taiwan Province Province as a supplement.

Like other operas, the musical instruments of Taiwanese opera are divided into two parts: a martial arts drama and a martial arts drama. The musical instruments of martial arts are similar to those of Beijing Opera, including bronze drums, vertical gongs, wooden fish, small cymbals, large cymbals, big gongs, small gongs and bronze bells, as well as small calls and willow lanterns. In the early days, the instruments of Wenchang Opera were mainly Beixian, Qin Yue and Taiwan Province flute, and later there were erhu, Dong Xiao, duck flute and suona. In recent years, pipa, suona and western musical instruments have also participated in accompaniment. According to the different performance forms and theater forms, it can be divided into floor-to-floor sweeping Taiwanese opera, wild Taiwanese Taiwanese Taiwanese opera and inner Taiwanese Taiwanese Taiwanese opera. With the rise of mass media such as radio, film and television, radio Taiwanese opera, Taiwanese opera, film and television Taiwanese opera are also emerging one after another.
