One, Hebei Opera

In 1790, the Qing government explicitly prohibited the extension of the Qinqiang, and many Qinqiang artists in Beijing mostly switched to the Kunqiang and Jingqiang. To the Qing Daoguang years (1820-1850) finally formed a Qinqiang as the basis, sung in Beijing voice, drawing on the Beijing cavity, Kunqiang music and performing arts of the new voice - Hebei Opera. During the Qing Guangxu period (1875-1908), Hebei Opera spread almost all over the province's villages and towns and competed with Beijing Opera, while also absorbing the percussion, recitation, and singing of Beijing Opera.

The Hebei Opera has a high-pitched singing voice, a robust and upright melody, and a strong local flavor of Hebei. The style of the boards includes: slow board (4/4, big slow board, small slow board), two or six boards, flowing fast board (stomping board), loose board flowing water (tightly pulling and singing slowly), sharp board (loose board), crying board, as well as the introduction board, the closing board, etc. The instrumentation is similar to that of the Qin Opera, with the use of the Qin Opera's own instruments. The musical instruments are similar to those of Qinqiang, with Banhu and clappers as the main instruments.

The Drunkenness of the Concubine and the Butterfly Cup are representative of the traditional repertoire of the Hebei Opera.

Second, Hebei Blow Song

Hebei Blow Song is a folk music popular throughout Hebei. Most of the music played is folk tunes, opera tunes or cantatas, etc. The music is simple and clear. The music is simple and clear, the structure is short and concise, and the players make good use of suona, flute, etc. to imitate vocal singing, so it is called blowing song.

According to the legend of the artists, Hebei Blow Song has a history of about 200 years. The members of the Blow Song Society (also known as the Blow Song Society) are partly half-farmers and half-artists, who work on the land when they are busy and play songs for their own amusement when they are not working, and who play in societies during celebrations and festivals; and partly monks and Taoist priests, who play on occasions such as rituals, welcoming the gods, and sending funerals to their families.

There are two types of instrument combinations in Hebei's song blowing: one is the pipe, sea flute, mainly, supplemented by silk strings, percussion instruments such as drums, snare drums, cymbals, plectrums, gongs, clappers, etc. The second is the suona, mainly, supplemented by silk strings. The second is mainly suona, supplemented by sheng, etc., percussion instruments as above.

Blowing songs in Hebei have the greatest influence on the Blowing Song Society of Ziwei Village in Beizhou. The "Little Donkey" is one of the pieces they often play. The piece vividly expresses the witty scene of donkey-herding in the northern countryside and the naughty and lively image of the donkey through the echoing and answering of the pipes and the silk and bamboo orchestra.

Three, Hebei ditties

Besides the clappers and the blowing songs, there are also some ditties in Hebei that have been widely circulated. There are "jasmine", "kite", "cabbage" and so on. Among them, "Cabbage" is more representative.

"Little Cabbage" is about a young girl who lost her mother and was abused and left alone in the countryside, and she tells her bitter story in the song. The whole song is only 12 bars, the technique is simple, the phrases are short, the melody is downward by phrase, the image is simple, the feelings are true. The North Wind Blows in the opera "White Hair Daughter" is the material for the creation of the song.
