Live Yue Opera and TV series "Double Jade Toad"

Double Jade Chan is a famous drama of Yue Opera, but it has never been made into a TV series. If you see a video on TV, it is also a live video of a live performance of Yue Opera.

Brief introduction of double Jade Chan;

"Double Jade Cicada", "It's going to rain, Mother is going to get married" and "Half Scissors" are also called the three tragedies of Yong Opera, which are widely circulated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and are deeply loved by the masses. The story profoundly exposed the evil nature of feudal marriage system and patriarchal clan system.

The play was first transplanted by Yueqing Yue Opera Troupe on 1980, directed by Lu and designed by Chen Yasheng. Zhang Lajiao plays Cao and Wang Shaolou plays Shen. The whole play runs through the jade cicada, and it is divided into six scenes: shocking cicada, returning cicada, giving cicada, dying cicada, complaining cicada, loving cicada and sad cicada. Singing became popular when the performance was touching. Later, the core aria "Ling Hua Jing" sung by He Ying and Zhang Lajiao became a famous Yue Opera song in different forms.
