So where is the origin of ancient painting opera? This issue of "Ancient Painting and Opera Culture" reveals the answer for you.

Hunan ancient painting drama originated from folk songs and gradually developed into the primary form of once ugly ancient painting drama. Liuyang County Records, published in the 23rd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 18), talked about the situation of playing dragon lanterns in the local Lantern Festival, saying: "Boys play ugly plays and sing golden drums from the 10th day to the end of the night". It shows that an ugly flower drum play, Dihuagu, was once sung, which was formed at the latest in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty.

According to the Yuan Tan Diary (1862) written by Yang Enshou in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, the "Flower Drum Ci" that Yang Enshou saw in Yongxing, Hunan Province (that is, Flower Drum Opera) had four roles: scholar, bookworm and Claudia's daughter-in-law. The plot and performance were vivid, indicating that the Flower Drum Opera at this time had not only developed into "three times" (Xiao Dan started from the voice and repertoire.

Later, with the introduction of "Gong tune" and "Chuan tune", folk legendary dramas with strong stories gradually appeared. The main repertoires are Qingfeng Pavilion, Lulin Club, Eight Hundred Li Dongting and Xue Mei Jiaozi. The main repertoires of Sichuan Opera include Liu Hai Xi Toad, Whip Reed Flower, Zhang Guang's Big Hand, and Driving Children on the Road. In this way, a relatively complete local opera was formed.

In the early days, only semi-professional societies performed seasonal performances in rural areas and engaged in art after busy farming. Since Guangxu, this class club has developed rapidly. There are dozens of "suitcases" in Ningxiang and Hengyang counties alone, with nearly 200 artists. Actors are trained with teachers, and some are taught by apprentices, which are called "teaching fields" or "lecture halls". Each stage lasts for dozens of days, and three or four plays are taught. In the past, because ancient paintings and operas were often discriminated against and banned, all local troupes with ancient paintings and operas were called "semi-theatrical troupe" or "semi-theatrical and semi-tonal" and "yin and yang troupe" under the guise of performing local popular dramas. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), professional troupes were set up in various places to perform in city theaters.

"Chopping firewood with bangs" is a well-known classic song, which is sung for people.

According to 198 1 statistics, there are 54 ancient painting troupes in the province, and Hunan Ancient Painting Opera House has been established. 1957, Hunan Opera School was established and merged with Ancient Painting and Opera Academy. Traditional Plays There are more than 400 traditional plays of ancient paintings and operas all over the country, which mainly reflect folk life, and most of them are about productive labor, love between men and women or family conflicts, with vivid language and strong local flavor. Playing Gong, Pouring Pots, On the Way to Delivery and Yeyadao have all been made into movies.

The ancient painting drama is a local drama of Han nationality in China, which usually refers to the ancient painting drama in Hunan. Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces also have local operas with the same name. Hunan ancient painting drama is the general name of various schools of Hunan ancient painting drama. Due to different popular areas, there are six schools of ancient paintings, including Changsha, Yueyang, Hengyang, Shaoyang, Changde and Lingling, with different artistic styles.

There are more than 400 traditional plays and more than 300 musical tunes in various places.

Not only have traditional operas such as Liu Hai chopping firewood and shooting birds been sorted out, but also many modern operas such as Double Meal Delivery, Busy Sister-in-law and Sanliwan have been created. For example, Gong, Pot Mending, On the Way to Delivery and Yeyadao have all been made into movies. In particular, the famous xiang opera's "Liu Hai Chops Wood" is popular all over the country and deeply loved by people all over the country.
