What are the traditional plays of Lu Opera?

Most of the traditional dramas of Lu Opera were adapted from Qin Shu, Shandong Province, and some of them were transplanted from other operas. Its plays can basically be divided into two categories, one is a small play and a single play, and the other is a series.

A short drama is a short drama, as opposed to a big drama. Liantai drama is a kind of China opera repertoire, which refers to the whole drama performed for several days in a row, and originated from folk festival performances. It is deeply loved by the broad masses of the people with its simple and vivid language, beautiful and melodious singing and colorful musical vocabulary.

Lu Opera has more than 90 plays. Xiao Ju is the basic repertoire in the traditional repertoire of Lu Opera. Most of them are based on folk life stories and folklore, and some of them are based on fragments of historical novels. The basic content is to punish evil and promote good, marriage and family, ethics and love between men and women, and the main content is Xiao Sheng, small shops and clowns.

These plays have compact plots, rich flavor of life and vivid and simple language. The themes of most plays are positive and distinct, expressing the strong desire and beautiful ideal of working people to resist oppression, marriage autonomy and family harmony.

For example, Blue Bridge Club, Butterfly Lovers Going Down the Mountain, Wife Swapping between Old and Young, Legend of the White Snake, etc. Criticized and exposed the feudal marriage system, reflecting people's ideological desire for personality liberation and marriage autonomy.

Dramas such as Fighting Kansai, Divorcing Marriage, and Fighting Man Boat reflect the thoughts and feelings of the poor who resist pressure, expose and attack bullies. Plays such as Sisters Marry Easily and Empty Coffin Plan satirize snobs who love the poor and the rich and are unkind to the rich.

Dramas such as Sister-in-law, Three Strings and Four Persuasions, and Stepmother Beating Children reflect the people's good wishes for family harmony, respect for the elderly and love for the young.

There are also some traditional operas that describe folk funny stories, such as "Wang Xiao Grasping Feet", which are also ideological and artistic. "Wang Xiaopao Foot" tells the story of a little daughter-in-law going back to her mother's house and laughing and teasing with Wang Xiao, the donkey driver in "Seeds of Love".

Sometimes Wang Xiaoming will say some "bad words", but it's just talk. It's not really offensive, so kannika nimtragol is also willing to communicate with such people.

At first, Little Mao Wang, a little man, began to praise how cute his little donkey was, and then said a few poems:

Don't hurry, work hard.

People are riding donkeys, so I have to run after them.

Those who scratch their feet are also porters.

Wang Xiao's little donkey is not his, he just works for the shopkeeper. As a result, kannika nimtragol sang a long passage "Two girls are going back to their parents' home for a few days" as soon as she appeared. This aria should be the essence of the whole drama. It's very nice and distinctive, such as:

It's very hot in the dog days in June.

The second girl went to Yangguan,

My mother-in-law's family lives at 20 Pauli,

My mother lives in Zhangjiawan.

I got sick in the old woman's house,

Seven or eight days of yin and yang.

Ginger is not spicy,

Drinking vinegar in a big bowl doesn't feel sour.

Everyone says I'm very ill,

I'm not the price. Why am I so sour and unwilling to move?

Second sister is only twenty-two this year.

Married a husband. He is thirty-three years old.

22, 33,

He is older than me 1 1 years.

Everyone says my son-in-law is old,

Hey, I'm not too old. He knows that he loves me.

I'm going back to my mother's house today,

My husband pulled me to bed.

I asked him if he had anything else to say,

He secretly handed me 200 yuan.

He said, this hundred dollars can rent you a donkey,

Those 100 people are hungry, so you prick your head. ...

It can be seen that this is a cheerful, talkative kannika nimtragol. There is a certain sense of happiness in the early pregnancy. Such a rural kannika nimtragol, when meeting children, will definitely bargain in business.

So, Wang Xiao took advantage of her and wanted to shake her hand. He also has his reasons for holding hands. Business in the livestock market is done hand in hand and finger in hand.

The second girl disagreed and wanted to make it clear to him. When it was 160 yuan, the second girl stopped adding, and Wang Xiao began to play the coquetry again. How many times did you ask? You'll never add it in your life? Here is Wang Xiao hinting at her "adding children".

Shortly after the trip, the two girls suddenly felt unwell. After her illness, Wang Xiaozhi asked her to come down and have a rest. The second girl told him that she couldn't die of the disease, but "she didn't feel spicy after swallowing Jiang Ye, and she didn't feel sour after drinking vinegar." Wang Xiao went on to say, "You didn't tell me, I knew you were ill ..."

This plot festival is meticulous and vivid, with rich vocabulary of the masses, simple and natural performance, and full of life flavor. So it is very popular with the audience in the vast rural areas. And Lu opera is just suitable for these small scenes of life, little fun.

In addition, the play has other characteristics: first, the singing is very pleasant, comfortable and smooth, with unique taste, sweet and sour; Second, the script is very good, lively and the text has folk characteristics; Third, the actors performed brilliantly, cooperated tacitly and expressed their works vividly. For example, Wang Xiao's frankness and two girls' winking, chin hooking and snickering are simple and healthy, and have a unique local style.

The basic repertoire of Lu Opera is based on the real life of the people and accurately expresses the wishes, thoughts and feelings of the working people. A person who expresses his family ethics, husband-wife relationship, love between men and women, satirizes current disadvantages, punishes evil and promotes good, and his language is easy to understand, vivid and simple, and has a sense of humor.
