Puxian Opera Creation

The traditional music of China has influenced me, from the ancient music of Xia and Shang dynasties to the music of today. Music has accompanied generations and influenced a large number of people. Music has also developed with the progress of mankind, becoming people's spiritual sustenance, and music has also brought people a touch of sadness and joy. Traditional music in China can be divided into five categories: songs, song and dance music, rap music, traditional opera and instrumental music. In traditional Chinese opera, Puxian Opera in my hometown is a part of China traditional music. Since I was a child, I often went to the theatre under the leadership of my grandmother. It can be said that Puxian Opera is the earliest traditional music that I came into contact with, and it is also the China traditional music that has the deepest influence on me. Coincidentally, I took the course of Chinese and foreign music history and felt the unique charm and unprecedented excitement of national music. So I began to collect some information about Puxian Opera, and briefly introduce my personal understanding of it as follows: Puxian Opera has a profound musical tradition and rich vocals, and still retains a lot of music from Song, Yuan and Nan operas. The voice of Puxian Opera is mainly Xinghua Opera, which is a comprehensive fusion of Puxian folk songs, ten tones and eight tones, Buddhist music, Song and Yuan lyrics and Daqu songs and dances. Singing in dialect is a vocal cavity with strong local color and flavor. The vocal structure is "Quban conjoined", which is homophonic for men and women, and the pronunciation is local noise. Melody is dominated by pentatonic scale, mostly tone-seeking and quotient mode, followed by palace mode and feather mode. The songs are rich and colorful, and there are "360 big topics and 720 small ones" among them, there are more than 900 songs with the same tune, lyrics, Zhu Gong tune and singing style as those of Song, Yuan and Southern Opera. After talking about the colorful singing of Puxian Opera, let's talk about the distinctive features of Puxian Opera instruments. The musical instruments of the early Puxian Opera were very simple, just like the Southern Opera in the Song, Yuan and Southern Dynasties, with only gongs, drums and flutes. Drums use drums, and gongs are called sand gongs. Gongs and drums are used to control stage performances. There are more than 300 kinds of gongs and drums, and the rules are strict. A flute is called a flute tube. There are two kinds of flutes: reed flute and plum blossom. Then, with the continuous development of Puxian Opera, more and more musical instruments have enriched the musical instruments of Puxian Opera. The most distinctive musical instrument in Puxian Opera is the reed flute, also called the head pipe, which was handed down from ancient times. Plum blossom, also known as suona, is also the main instrument of Puxian Opera. Similarly, musical instruments are played in various ways in Puxian Opera. Since the Ming Dynasty, Xinghua Opera has flourished, with more than 140 troupes. In terms of Puxian drama, Puxian opera has more than 500 sets of gongs and drums, and more than 300 sets can be passed down by music. Since the Ming Dynasty, the enthusiasm of visiting immortals in Putian has been growing, and there has been a family motto of "Do not be vulgar and listen to women climbing temples and watching operas" in Putian. The performance of Puxian Opera is always combined with local folk activities. There are as many performances of Puxian Opera as there are folk activities. Traditional Chinese opera and folk activities complement each other and soon become an indispensable part of folk activities. People will perform at festivals, weddings, birthdays or competitions to welcome the gods. When I was a child, because I didn't understand, I just watched the excitement. I am not concerned with the plot and acting, but with props, costumes and lively scenes. The boy picked up branches and imitated Wu Sheng's playing with guns and sticks. The girls admire the actresses' fairy dresses, headdresses and pendants. With the growth of age and life experience, I can gradually distinguish and judge who is a traitor, a loyal minister, a bad wife and a clown according to the costumes, faces and makeup of actors. Moved by the story in the play, I am completely immersed in the play, sad for the sadness of the characters in the play, happy for the reunion of the characters in the play, and always indignant at the injustice of the good ministers and good people in the play. Taste the taste of life from the play, feel the vicissitudes of life and the warmth of human feelings, realize that justice will eventually overcome evil, feel that the world is full of true love, and the future is full of light, happiness and hope. One side raises the other's children. Puxian people have a difficult complex about Puxian Opera. Wang Ying Triple Time, Spring Grass Running to the Moon Hall, after reunion, Zhu Bian returned to the DPRK, Wang Ku's wife, Zhang Xie's champion, Wang Yunxian, The Story Of Diu Sim, Liu Zhiyuan, etc. These wonderful stories have been handed down from generation to generation and spread among the people. Here, I hope that this folk tradition of Puxian Opera can be passed down forever, and I hope that all traditional music can last forever. Continue to affect more and more people. ...
