The Characteristics and Style of Shaanxi Opera

Gansu Shaanxi Opera is also called West Shaanxi Opera. Gansu Shaanxi Opera has a long history, and has formed three major artistic schools: East, South and China. Its stage atmosphere is violent, actors advocate work, pay attention to the application of performance skills and the development of painting art. In singing, it is not as good as Shaanxi's Shaanxi opera. The singing style of Gansu Qinqiang Opera is obviously different from that of Xifu Qinqiang Opera.

Gansu Shaanxi Opera has its own characteristics, which is another major school different from Shaanxi Shaanxi Shaanxi Opera. Its formation history is similar to Xi 'an's "Random Bomb". The emerging representatives are Moral Education, Literature, Geng, Li Duoshan, Li Yingdong, Yue Zhonghua and Chen Jingmin. They all have unique styles and formed artistic schools, such as "Xi School".

Shaanxi opera also has its own unique characteristics in performance, which are mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, the singing is loud and intense, full of feelings and strong changes. Many southerners don't like Shaanxi opera. They just think that Shaanxi Opera is screaming loudly, which sounds deafening, different from the slow and subtle sounds of South Vietnamese Opera and Shanghai Opera. This is the cultural difference between North and South. The rockeries, green ponds, winding paths and small bridges in Suzhou gardens give people a fresh and comfortable feeling, while the waves of the Yellow River in the northwest, the peaks of Huashan Mountain, the snow in Qilian Mountain and the flat sand are refreshing and extremely exciting. Climbing Huashan Mountain is completely different from visiting Jiangnan Garden. This difference in natural environment was not formed in recent hundreds of years, but thousands and tens of thousands of years ago. This has accumulated and formed different temperament and aesthetic habits of people in the North and South. As far as poetry is concerned, since ancient times, the south is famous for its graceful words, while the north has many generous and tragic works. Northerners seldom write lyrics with folk songs. The south wins with delicate songs, while the north is dominated by high-pitched folk songs. Second, the dance movements are rough and powerful, with great changes and heavy workload. For example, take the train, duet, jump, somersault and so on. , all have the outstanding nature of martial arts performance. Of course, there are also some dance programs that show the interest of life and beautiful posture, but compared with other operas, they prominently reflect the characteristics of Qin Wushu. Third, the traditional scripts of Shaanxi Opera mainly show wars and loyal ministers and good generals. It is not that there are no other themes, but that other themes do not occupy the main position. Moreover, there are many works mentioned above that show war, oppose aggression, praise loyal subjects and martyrs, and commend integrity. There are even series (such as Shen Feng, Wan Guo, Three Kingdoms and Yang Jiajiang). Others are smaller in number. Some plays are light-hearted and show the interest of life, but few show the joys and sorrows of the whole play.
