How did Siping Opera develop and inherit?

At that time, in the Ming Dynasty, a stage stood in front of Mrs. Linshui Temple, the mayor of Longtan Village, Pingnan County, Fujian Province. In front of the stage, people from Longtan Village and surrounding villages gathered around the stage.

On the stage, Chen, an artist of Siping Opera in Longtan Village, is playing Wu Cheng Wang Huang in Shang and Zhou Dynasties in costume, and performing "anti-five customs" for the villagers on the stage.

The gods and their surroundings were noisy, gongs and drums were loud, and they stayed up all night.

The first annoying thing about dreaming is bragging.

I saw Huang, played by Chen on the stage, wearing a Wu Guan, with a whip in one hand and a pike in the other, coming to Sishuiguan. At this time, a Shang general named Yu Hua was released from Surabaya. This Yu Hua once fought with Huang.

The two figures on the stage are so big, and the weapons in their hands are flying up and down, which is dazzling and beautiful! It attracted a burst of applause from the audience.

Suddenly, Huang's weapon was destroyed by Yu Hua on the stage, and people were captured by Yu Hua.

Seeing this scene, some of the audience covered their eyes and some sighed, lamenting that the King Wu of Shang Dynasty had fallen short of success and was caught by Yu Hua at the last Surabaya Pass of the five customs.

At this time, a person suddenly appeared on the stage. This man dressed as a small warrior, with a pike in his hand, his shoulders slanting across the Kun circle, and his waist twisted with Tencel. Isn't this the "Three Princes" Nezha?

I saw the remnants of Nezha War on the stage. Finally, Huang was rescued, and Huang and others broke the Surabaya Pass, left the territory, entered the Western Zhou Dynasty, and held high the banner against Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

After the drama performance on the stage, the audience under the stage was deeply attracted by the plot of the drama and shouted to Chen, "Chen, is this the drama you studied outside?" What's this paragraph called? Can you explain this story to us in detail? "

Chen Mei ran out of time and immediately returned to the stage and said, "Fellow villagers, the name of this joke is" Anti-Five Customs ",which is one of the jokes I went out to learn this time. The story tells that when Zhou Wang was in Shang Zhouwang, because he was stupid enough to listen to da ji, he framed Zhongliang and tricked the wife and sister of King Huang Hufei of Wucheng into the palace. Unexpectedly, Wu's wife was indomitable and committed suicide by jumping off a building, and his sister was finally forced to die. After getting the news, King Huang of Wucheng angrily countered the story of the military attache going to Xishu. "

As soon as Chen's words were finished, someone asked, "Is that the third prince of Nezha with a pike in his hand and his shoulder leaning on the circle of Gankun?" . What is the story of this play? Tell us about it! "

Chen nodded and said, "This brother is really eye-catching. The last person to come out was really Prince Nezha. The story goes like this: Huang and his brother and Zhou Ji are against it. On the way, he was banned by five levels, but he broke through three levels. Their team came to the fourth pass, jiepai Pass, which was guarded by Huang Geng, the father of the Flying Tigers. Huang Ming and others tricked Huang Geng into going through the customs together. Finally, they went to Sishuiguan, Huang and other heavily guarded customs departments to catch the rest. Thanks to Nezha's rescue, Yu Hua was injured, and Huang and others went out to the Western Zhou Dynasty. "

Everyone listened to the legend of this winter, recalled the plot of the performance on the stage just now, solved the doubts in their hearts, and everything suddenly became clear.

With the end of this first play, people's enthusiasm for watching the play is even higher. Especially at the climax of the plot, every move of the characters on the stage affects their hearts, as if they had been in the play.

Chen's play was sung according to the ancestral system for three days and nights. During these three days and nights, the villagers in Longtan village and surrounding villages fully enjoyed the fun of drama. Chen sang Siping Opera.

Siping Opera, called "Siping Opera" in ancient times, was formed after Jiangxi Yiyang Opera was introduced into Shexian County, Anhui Province during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was introduced into Fujian via Jiangxi in three ways: all the way to Pingnan, Ningde, Gutian, Xiapu and Fuan in eastern Fujian; All the way to Zhenghe, Jianou and other places in northern Fujian; All the way into the vast area of Zhangzhou, southern Fujian.

Because of dialect, Siping Opera is called Shuoping Opera and Su Ping Opera in Ningde area, and it is called Civilian Opera and Teaching Opera in Pingnan area.

According to the story handed down from generation to generation by the old artists of Siping Opera in Longtan Village, Xiling Township, pingnan county, Siping Opera in eastern Fujian was learned from Jiangxi by a farmer named Chen Qingying in the late Ming Dynasty. My father passed on his son, his son passed on his grandson, and his daughter-in-law did not. At 1982, it spread to 16 generation, forming a set of strict class rules, and as the traditional ancestor of the Chen family in this village, it has been sung for generations.
