First, the content of the opera handwritten newspaper: a brief introduction to the opera

China opera is mainly composed of folk songs and dances, rap and burlesque. It originated from primitive song and dance and is a comprehensive stage art form with a long history. From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Song and Jin Dynasties, a relatively complete opera art was formed, consisting of literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts, with about 360 kinds. It is characterized by the collection of various art forms in a standard, which embodies their respective personalities in the same nature. China's drama, Greek tragedy and comedy, and Indian Sanskrit drama are called the three ancient drama cultures in the world. After a long period of development and evolution, China Opera Hundred Flowers Garden with five major operas as the core has gradually formed. There are many kinds of plays in China. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 360 kinds of operas and tens of thousands of traditional plays in China. Other famous operas include: Kunqu Opera, Hangzi Opera, Cantonese Opera, Huai Opera, Sichuan Opera, Qin Opera, Shanghai Opera, Shaanxi Opera, Han Opera, Hebei Bangzi, Henan Cantonese Opera, Henan Hangzi Opera, xiang opera Opera and Hunan Opera.

Traditional Chinese opera music is a kind of folk music in China. It is one of the important artistic means to express characters' thoughts and feelings, portray characters' personalities and set off the stage atmosphere in China traditional opera art, and it is also an important symbol to distinguish different operas. It comes from folk songs, folk art, dance, instrumental music and other musical elements, and is an important part of China national music. This kind of traditional Chinese opera music has the unique structure, expression and artistic skills of Bletilla striata, and has a strong national artistic style. From the perspective of music production, traditional Chinese opera belongs to the musical of China people. It is obviously different from the western opera and the musical tradition created by its composers.

China Opera is a national art with strong comprehensiveness, which is not only reflected in its mastery and originality of various art categories (such as dance and acrobatics), but also in its exquisite and profound performing arts. Various artistic factors are closely combined with the performing arts, and all the functions of opera are realized through the performance of actors. Among them, the organic composition of singing, reading, doing and beating on the actors is the most concentrated and prominent embodiment of the comprehensiveness of China traditional operas. Singing refers to singing skills, which means "clear pronunciation and mellow voice"; Reading aloud, that is, reading aloud, is a strict reciting skill. The so-called "one thousand pounds of oral part sings four Liang"; Doing refers to doing work, which is the character and expression; Beating refers to the martial arts action in performance, which is a combination of dance martial arts skills based on China traditional martial arts. These four expressions are sometimes interrelated and sometimes cross each other. Their composition depends on the needs of the plot, but they are all unified into a comprehensive whole, which embodies the beauty of harmony and is full of musical spirit (sense of rhythm). China traditional opera is a form of drama with formal beauty, which is centered on comprehensive performances of singing, reading, doing and playing.

Because the legendary drama style lasted until the Qing dynasty, it was also called the Ming and Qing legends. Legends of Ming and Qing Dynasties inherited the Southern Opera system in form, which is more complete. A script, mostly only about 30, is often divided into two parts; The author also pays special attention to the compactness of the structure and the interweaving of themes. Legendary music is also a combination of music and cards, but it is more developed than southern opera, and ten-fold opera is no longer limited to a palace tune; The number of qupai also depends on the needs of the plot; All the characters on the stage can sing.

Legends of Ming and Qing Dynasties contain many local accents. Among them, Kunshan cavity and Yiyang cavity are the most widespread and far-reaching ones. After Wei Liangfu's political reform in Jiajing period (the year of birth and death is unknown), Kunshan dialect created a euphemistic, delicate, smooth and distant "ink and wash tone", which paid attention to clarity, correctness and purity. Combining string, flute and drum board, a full range of band accompaniment was established. The performance of "Huansha Ji" made Kunshan Opera a national opera through the stage. Yiyang Opera originated in Jiangxi, which is mainly popular among the people and performed by Jianghu Troupe. Every time it spread to a place, it merged the local language and folk music and evolved into a localized voice cavity. Yiyang Opera does not need orchestral accompaniment, only takes gongs and drums as the rhythm, sings chorus and adopts the form of apprentice gang, which is characterized by popularity, folk and emphasis on performance effect. It and the elegant style of Kunshan Opera form two different trends of China Opera. After long-term stage practice, the role division of Ming drama is more detailed. For example, Kunshan dialect has the word 12, and the protagonist is not limited to being positive, and the ugliness is not just teasing.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the stage became popular, with opera performance as the main fashion. The so-called passbook drama refers to the projects selected from the whole legendary repertoire. It's just some relatively independent fragments of the whole drama, but in these fragments, the scenes are wonderful and the singing skills are excellent. The appearance of Zhezi Opera is the result of the strong development of drama performance art, and it is also the necessity of time and stage elutriation. After the audience is familiar with the plot, they can enjoy the performance skills of the opera. Peony Pavilion's Gardens and Dreams, Moon-worshipping Pavilion's Treading Umbrella and Yue Bai, and Jade Hairpin's Picking the Qin and Chasing the Boat have become popular and enduring masterpieces.

Third, the content of the opera handwritten newspaper: articles about opera.

The role of Chinese opera can be divided into four categories: life, Dan, purity and ugliness, which the teacher asked us to write down when my primary school music participated in the open class. Needless to say, I really only know this about Chinese opera, because I have never cared about it, and my impression of it is just two boring hot spots singing and singing. Every time I "sweep" the channel, I will skip it without hesitation after seeing it.

The only discount is in this Chinese class, that is, the "drama stage" comprehensive practice class. The teacher first performed a series of "pleasing to the eye" operas, which sounded good! So, I think: anyway, it's all about learning, so it's better to take this opportunity to study hard, not to mention it's so beautiful!

So, I really studied hard.

After this lesson, I have a deep feeling: No wonder China traditional opera has been circulated from feudal society for hundreds of years! Because it was created by ancient working people in their leisure time, the content is mostly people's yearning for a better life. For example, a sentence in "The Fairy Couple" says: "You plow the fields and I weave, you carry water and I water the flowers ... You are better than Yuanyang, and flying with me is on earth." Expressed the yearning for simplicity in life in the hearts of ancient working people. Because the opera "conforms" to the public opinion and "wins" the people's hearts, it can spread widely, so it can be particularly beautiful. It's a pity that today's young people are only obsessed with pop music and pay no attention to the most brilliant star in this wonderful intangible cultural heritage-opera!

No matter what others think of it, I am in love with it anyway, starting with this Chinese class!
