What is the difference or connection between Henan Quju and Beijing Quju?

On the basis of Henan folk art "walking on stilts", Henan songs and folk songs and dances, Henan Quju formally entered the stage of traditional Chinese opera in the 1920s. After more than half a century of rapid evolution, it has become one of the three major operas in Henan. Formerly known as "Gaotaiqu", it was later renamed as "Henan Quju"

There are many tunes in its vocals, such as Horsehead, Chopping Jade, Diao Yang, Poetry, Qingjiang, Yindiaosi and Manjianghong.

When it was first put on the stage, its accompaniment instruments were only hand board, quhu, sanxian, soft bow, jinghu and sheng. With the development and performance of repertoire, not only guzheng, erhu and pipa were added, but also martial arts venues were adopted. The repertoire of Quju is gradually enriched. Most of the original reserved programs reflected family life, such as Hu Jie opening a shop, delivering rice safely, watching lanterns, going to the kitchen, and Li Huozi's divorce. It is particularly worth mentioning that the art of Quju has made rapid progress since liberation. Chen Sanliang's traditional plays, such as Climbing the Hall, Xi Juan Drum, Wind and Snow Match, and outstanding plays reflecting modern life, such as Going to the Countryside, Catching the Feet and Going to the Countryside, were well received by the masses for their beautiful singing and lyricism.

Beijing Quju is a kind of drama that originated and formed in Beijing. The musical singing of Beijing Quju originated from Danxian Qupai, which is a kind of drama that rose after liberation. There is no performance program of traditional Chinese opera, and there is no strict occupational distinction. Formerly known as Quyi Drama, it combined various forms of Beijing Quyi, and later Lao She changed her name to "Beijing Quyi Drama".

It rose to the stage of traditional drama in China by performing modern drama, and was famous for its rich flavor of life. From its establishment to the present, Beijing Opera has performed more than 100 performances. The most influential plays are Ocean's Man Qian, Zhang's Women's Representative, Smile and so on. Modern historical dramas include The Boxer Rebellion and Tears of Zhen Fei. Historical life plays include Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage, The Tiger King Snatches the Kiss, Yanjiatan, The Butcher's Champion and so on. Among them, "Yang Naiwu and Chinese Cabbage" and "An Arrow on the String" were shot in 1960s, while "Tears of Princess Zhen" was shot in 1982.

Wei Xikui is the representative actor of this kind of drama. She is famous for her sweet singing skills, and she is good at shaping the musical image of characters with innovative drum singing methods. Peking Opera began to spread from Beijing to Tianjin in 1950s and 1960s, and then to Yingkou City, Liaoning Province after 1970s.
