Brief introduction of China traditional culture Henan Opera.

Henan Opera is one of the five major operas in China, ranking first among hundreds of local operas in China. Mulan, Mu Commanding, Seven Kinds of Sesame Officials and Chaoyanggou are popular all over the country and are well known. It can be said that Henan Opera is the pride of everyone in Henan, and it is also the hometown flavor that I have been exposed to since I was a child.

Henan Opera originated in Kaifeng, Henan Province in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 500 years. It is based on Henan folk songs, minor and folk singing art, and has evolved from other operas such as Beiqu, Xiansuo, Luo Juan Opera, Kunqu Opera and Shaanxi Opera. Because its music accompaniment is played with jujube bangzi, it is called Henan Bangzi. After the founding of New China, it was renamed Henan Opera.

The story of Henan Opera has a distinct rhythm, sharp contradictions and conflicts, and its singing is majestic and restrained. It is very good at expressing the inner feelings of characters and showing grand scenes. The style is both rigid and soft, open-minded and generous, with the beauty of "neutralization" Famous plays include Mulan's Mu Sitting in the Town, Breaking the Flood State, The Fifth Oath, Playing Golden Branches, etc.

In the key plots, Henan Opera is generally arranged with big-board vocals, which are fluent, rhythmic, challenging, generally articulate and easy to be heard by the audience, which also accelerates the popularization of Henan Opera and makes it a popular performance form for ordinary people.

Henan Opera, as the largest local opera in China, has the most prominent, essential and vital cultural character, no matter from its development history or comparing other operas in the same period horizontally.

Henan Opera not only enhances the international influence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also makes an important contribution to enhancing the soft power of national culture. As a child of Henan, I am really proud of the excellent culture of Henan Opera in my hometown. I also expect more parents and classmates to know, like and spread Henan Opera.
