The initial stage of Ding Ding's drama is to spread the stalls, also known as duet or duet. Once it was born, it was an "outer corner" and an "inner corner", and the only corner was mostly dressed by men, with their feet on mats, forehead ornaments on their heads, skirts around their waists, flower arrangements at their temples, and colorful fans or handkerchiefs in their hands. Horn, with a fan in his hand, dressed simply, danced and sang. Later, influenced by Beijing Opera, Jiangsu Bangzi, Liu Zi and Soul-pulling Opera, Tintin Opera also developed into a form of drama. Tintin Troupe has existed since the 1940s, but there are still many folk artists who keep the form of folk art booths. Traditional songs (dramas) include "Standing on the Flower Wall" and "Liang Shanbo Going Down the Mountain".

The Artistic Features of Tintin's Opera

The primary stage of "Tintin Opera" is also called "Errenzhuan" or "Errenzhuan", that is, once a person performs Errenzhuan in his life, he mainly sings in vernacular, and the lyrics are mostly five-sentence, seven-sentence and cross-sentence, which is flexible and changeable.

Beautiful singing, touching and lyrical, fresh and lively, with the characteristics of water town.

"Tintin Opera" was influenced by Bangzi, Opera and other operas in the exchange performance, and was accompanied by national musical instruments such as suona and Sheng, which enriched the musical connotation and gradually developed into a traditional opera. At the same time, it broke away from the narrative-oriented characteristics of Quyi, and formed a kind of "Dingdingqiang" drama with beautiful singing.

The Inheritance of Tintin's Opera

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the cruel exploitation of domestic rulers, rural poverty and poor people's livelihood, most Tintin opera artists were living abroad, and the number of people acting gradually decreased. Therefore, in the more than 30 years before liberation, there were almost no official performances and they were on the verge of being lost. After liberation, this kind of drama was gradually sung in the local area, and some even set up a small troupe to re-enter the stage. The inheritance of art mainly depends on its popularity among the people. However, due to the distinctive characteristics of Tintin's opera, such as "softness" and slow pace, it is not attractive to young people now, so fewer and fewer people learn to sing. Tintin Opera is still an amateur performance form and is on the verge of being lost. On holidays or cool parties, several people will hum a few words, but no one can perform the complete "Tintin Opera" repertoire. This ancient drama is facing "lost".

At present, "Tintin Opera" has been included in Xuzhou's key protected artistic resources. Chinese opera experts believe that the protection of "Tintin Opera" should start with rearranging the repertoire, performing artistic processing on the basis of the original repertoire, and creating a new repertoire that combines with the times. At the same time, it organizes local people to sing, making it a unique opera.
