Why is it also called Jinhua Opera?

Wu Opera, commonly known as Jinhua Opera, is one of the local operas in Zhejiang Province. It is composed of six tunes: Gaoqiang, Kunqiang, Luantan, Huizhou Opera, Tan Chun and Shidiao. Because Jinhua was called Wuzhou in ancient times, it was renamed as Wu Opera on 1950. In May 2020, it was selected as the first batch of "Zhejiang Cultural Imprint" list.

Features:

The singing of Wu Opera is not so rigorous, because it has been performed on the grass-roots team in rural areas for a long time, paying attention to the rendering of feelings and atmosphere, and not paying attention to the kung fu of articulation. Even the lyrics of some qupai have become "pop songs", which can be freely applied in various plays.

Some qupai, such as the appearance of military commanders; Adan walked around. They just performed in music and didn't sing at all. Some people think that Kunqu Opera is related to Yiyang Wushu Class, and its performance and gongs and drums are different from those of Su Kun, but close to the high-pitched tune. Dahua Hall uses "throat rolling" (focusing on the total voice of the throat, rarely using the nasal cavity), and the melody of its qupai is slightly different from that of Su Kun, with less decoration.
