Editorial Push Opera - Singing Voice It has three main components: the performance - Flower Drum Lantern, the voice - Yangqin, plus the folk dance popular in the Huaibei Plain.　Although Push Opera sprouted long before the founding of the PRC, it was not until after the liberation that it was formed into an opera and put on the stage. In the past, Push Opera was only in the form of flower-drum lanterns, performed in the stalls, singing only repeated four sentences, very monotonous, although most of the repertoire is lively and fresh Push Opera, full of life interest but the bottom of the thin, total **** there are four, fifty plays.　The art of Push Opera comes from the folk ditty, which has a very close relationship with the local people's living habits and folk customs, and its main content reflects the people's pursuit of national prosperity and peace, the good wishes of a happy life, and celebrates the purity and simplicity of the folk customs, freedom of love, family harmony, and the social stability of the society, and shows the etiquette of the people along the Huaihuai River and their hard-working and brave mental outlook.　The singing style of Pui Opera originates from the natural state of local folk tunes and consists of a five-tone scale, which is euphemistic, lyrical, smooth and fast. The local language is used for the dao bai spitting, and the performance inherits the movements and steps of the flower-drum lanterns, which are easy to understand, sing and learn. Due to the extensive absorption of the artistic essence of local folk songs, Push Opera is of great value to the study of the evolution of folk songs and dances and the development of opera singing.　The artistic style of Push Opera is passionate and exuberant, witty and humorous, and its melodious singing, stances and techniques fully reflect the characteristics of the Huaihe River people who are good at singing and dancing, and it has significant local characteristics and a rich local flavor. Editorial Push Opera - Role Push Opera Push Opera is mainly based on the role of a male and a female, and at the beginning of its production, it was mostly a small play in the back of the Flower Drum Lanterns, with the repertoire of Little Cowherd, The Great Cylinder, Green Snake, White Snake and Hsu Hsien, and Dongbin Playing Peony. Later, with the development and enrichment of the art of Push Opera, there appeared folded plays, such as Push Opera Delivering Fragrant Tea, The Story of the Tea Bottle, Li Tianbao Borrowing Grain, etc. In the early period of liberation, most of the plays were songs and songs. At the beginning of the liberation period, the repertoires were mostly works that glorified the establishment of new China, heroes and the construction of socialism. Since the reform and opening up, there have been numerous modern operas, such as "New Spring Song", "Send the Lovers", "Double Returns to the Door" and "Catching up with the Meeting", etc., which are often sung in the folklore. Editorial Push Opera - Save Push Opera The people of Fengtai, who gave birth to it, raised it, and enlarged it, have lost their favor for the art of Push Opera. Is their own local culture so unable to withstand the impact of foreign culture? Fenghuangtai people can not be separated from the Push Opera, look at the urban and rural residents to open their mouths to know how much people love the art of Push Opera. Temporary fanaticism of foreign art is just like an extramarital affair like a novelty, but there is no market and vitality, they will eventually return to the embrace of the Push Drama, many people firmly believe that. But if we let the art of Push Drama remain silent until people wake up and then try to save it, it may be too late. If the art of Push Drama is buried If Push Drama is sent in the hands of this generation, we will all be guilty of a thousand sins. Realizing this, many old comrades have joined together to write a proposal to save the art of Push Drama. Comrade Yue Wenlan, who was once the third generation of the leading actor and represented an era of Push Opera and was the backbone of the Push Opera Troupe at that time, was not idle for a day. Running around appealing, finally caused the then county leadership attaches great importance to the then Minister of Propaganda, the current Deputy Director of the National People's Congress, Comrade Su Zhenlai's specific guidance, through the old and new artists **** with the efforts of the old artists such as the old artists, Wang Dehui, Yao De with the old artists retired, took the initiative to undertake the work of the instructor in 1997, Fengtai School of the Arts was finally set up. At that time, Fengtai flower-drum lantern art faced the same dilemma, so after the establishment of the art school, divided into push drama, flower-drum lantern, instrumental music and other classes. The Push Opera class successfully enrolled nearly 40 students around 13 years old.　It is understood that at that time, most of the parents of these trainees are the county people who love the art of Push Opera, they put their love for Push Opera and the light of the art of Push Opera in the children, but the ignorant children do not know what the art of Push Opera. At the first contact, according to the words of the director, they are like listening to the sky book, do not know why. In the old artists day after day, year after year, under the guidance of wisdom and tireless, these children slowly know Push Drama, gradually understand the Push Drama, and slowly learn the art of Push Drama.　The sweet and sour of the apprenticeship career, only the children themselves can realize, at that time only in the rented house, winter to three nine, summer to three volts, no practice space, open-air training. At that time, the old artist's salary was extremely meager, the apprentice allowance can only maintain life, in this kind of conditions, teachers and apprentices rely on a love for the art of Push Opera, to save and promote the enthusiasm of the culture of Push Opera, through two years of hard life, the students have finally learned, initially mastered the art of Push Opera skills and the essence of the art. Editorial Push Drama - Activating Push Drama The new generation of Push Drama heirs was born at the beginning of the century, the electronic age, the economic development of a wave of fever, people surrounded by this wave of fever, thinking more about how to strengthen their own construction, invincible in the social competition. More interested in Theater is the network, computers, e-commerce and other fast, efficient, simple and direct way to profit. Long forgotten, and have no time to take care of local culture and art, more aware of the charm of local culture on the optimization of the environment, attracting attention, sparking interest in investment, and promote the potential power of local development.　As a result, while the Push Drama show is being perfected again, there is no market for its performance. Many people waved their hands and said, "If we want to invite a play, we should invite a big play like Yu Opera, but not this kind of small play, there is no market for it. Yue Wenlan, who was just appointed as the head of the troupe, could not eat or sleep at night. She knows that despite having a strong lineup, the years of silence have made the townspeople think that the Push Theater Troupe is a temporary troupe that is not going to last long, and there is nothing to see. But she had a firm belief that the native Push Opera would be loved by the public again. Under her leadership, through the unremitting efforts of the team, coupled with the importance of the county leadership and the support of the relevant departments, a new generation of actors and actresses of the new lineup plus the young, newly created choreography, etc., so that more than a decade of silence of the Push Drama was finally staged in the urban and rural areas of Fengtai, and quickly became the first choice of the theater of the urban and rural areas of Fengtai competing for invitations. According to statistics, since 2002, in urban and rural areas on average more than a hundred staged each year, the audience as many as a million people. Newly created plays in the provincial and municipal competitions have also won awards, a new generation of Push Drama art of the "little carrot" head of the Fengtai Push Drama culture to support the stage, Push Drama once again occupied and enriched the cultural life of urban and rural residents. Editorial Push Opera-Promoting Push Opera In order to adapt to the visual and taste of the audience in the new era, the writers and directors created a large number of popular, to promote and celebrate the new era, new style, new outlook and so on the repertoire, the performance of more tumbling jumps and other carpet work.　Three generations of Push Theater Troupe know the hard-won revival of the Push Theater, soaked in how much sweat, tears, saliva, and even blood, before coming to the present. That's why, after the performances on weekdays, the "Little Dots" never stop practicing their inner strength and take every performance seriously, no matter how many audiences there are. Whenever the performance season, a day to perform on three, each with a large number of tumbling action, many small actors just down from the front of the stage, tired straight back, hiding in the backstage secretly tears, to the stage, wipe away the tears to continue to perform. Despite the pain and fatigue, but none of the actors complained, in their own words, as long as there is a performance, no matter how hard and tired are not afraid of, for fear that the masses do not like, do not want to watch.　The revival of Fengtai Push Opera has attracted the attention of the new county party committee and county government. The county's main leaders have visited the troupe and the performance of the research, and many times to allocate funds to support. It is understood that the investment of more than 20 million yuan Fengtai art is actively raising funds. I believe that under the care and support of the local party committee and government, Fenghuangtai Push Drama art will continue to flourish, become the spirit of Fenghuangtai, Fenghuangtai soul, and become a representative of the Huaihe River culture, to the world to show the unique charm.
