The traditional repertoire of Xinjiang Quzi Opera

Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region, the various ethnic groups *** with the creation of Xinjiang's rich and colorful culture, and the historical evolution, formation and development of Xinjiang Quzi Opera, but also reflects the characteristics of the various ethnic cultures to absorb each other and learn from each other, has a special cultural value. Therefore, the protection and fostering of this kind of theater has important practical significance and far-reaching historical significance to enhance national unity and promote the prosperity of all ethnic cultures*** together.

Chinese opera covers China's long history and culture, and Xinjiang quzi opera is a part of Chinese opera. It is a local opera genre with a unique style that was gradually formed and perfected by the inflow of Shaanxi quzi, Qinghai flat string, Lanzhou drums, and Northwest folk songs into Xinjiang, and the fusion of the musical art of Xinjiang's multi-ethnicity. Xinjiang's existing opera genres such as Beijing Opera, Qin Opera, Yu Opera, etc. are all introduced, while Xinjiang Quzi Opera is the only local opera genre in Xinjiang sung in Chinese, which is even rarer in the country. Xinjiang Quzi Theater Troupe in the country is also the only one Quzi Theater Troupe, this troupe is responsible for the inheritance of the historical mission of the theater, so the theater to give special protection, the troupe to give special support is very necessary.

It is true that Xinjiang quzi opera is not as mature and powerful as Peking Opera and Yu Opera; nor does it have the face-changing and handkerchief-playing masterpieces of Sichuan Opera and Longjiang Opera, but the quzi opera can't die out. So, how to develop this unique opera art? I think that, apart from the hard work of opera performing artists, strong government support is particularly important. Peking Opera is a good example. The fact that the charm of Peking Opera has not declined through thick and thin is inseparable from the strong support of the government. Many ethnic groups and regions in the country also have some new types of theater, such as the Longjiang Opera, Ji Opera, etc., their history is shorter than the Xinjiang Quzi Opera, but due to the importance of leadership and appropriate measures, it has developed into a complete line of large types of theater. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, on May 20, 2006, the song was approved by the State Council included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
