Characteristics of ancient painting opera

There are about 300 musical tunes of ancient paintings and operas, which are mainly qupai, supplemented by plate changes. According to the different tune structure, music style and expression techniques, it can be divided into Sichuan tune or Gong Zheng tune, that is, Heizi tune, with drums and suona;

The tune is composed of two phrases: entering the door and singing, with rich changes in mode and melody, which is the main singing of ancient Chinese opera. Gong Qiang, also known as Gong Qiang, is one of the main vocals of ancient paintings and operas in Changsha, Yueyang and Changde. It is a combination of "Qiang" and "Liu" (several boards), where one person speaks and everyone helps each other.

Ancient paintings and dramas are closely related to the lives of local people. Coupled with different languages, different origins and schools, each region's ancient painting plays have their own styles and characteristics, so the types of ancient painting plays are also diverse.

Extended data:

In the early days, only semi-professional societies performed seasonal performances in rural areas and engaged in art after busy farming. Since Guangxu, this class club has developed rapidly. There are dozens of "suitcases" in Ningxiang and Hengyang counties alone, with nearly 200 artists.

Actors are trained with teachers, and some are taught by apprentices, which are called "teaching fields" or "lecture halls". Each stage lasts for dozens of days, and three or four plays are taught.

In the past, because ancient paintings and operas were often discriminated against and banned, all local troupes with ancient paintings and operas were called "semi-theatrical troupe" or "semi-theatrical and semi-tonal" and "yin and yang troupe" under the guise of performing local popular dramas.
