A Brief Introduction to Quyi in Du Yu's Ancient Poems

It is mainly popular in southern Jiangxi and some urban and rural areas in neighboring Hunan, Fujian and Guangdong. According to legend, Qing Daoguang was popular in Beijing, and most of the singers were blind artists, mainly singing songs adapted from "ancient operas", so it was called "ancient prose" for short. Du Yu's ancient prose is mainly singing and combining rap. Because of the different accompaniment instruments, singing also has its own characteristics. It is common to beat knots with wooden hammers, fishing drums and small drums, and it is also natural to be good at singing with words, singing with words and changing flexibly. Later, it was equipped with a hook pipe (shaped like an erhu, equipped with a grand piano pipe), and its singing absorbed Gannan folk songs, with rich tunes and more than 20 kinds of qupai commonly used. Traditional songs are mostly historical stories and folklore of the Han nationality, mostly novellas of three or four hours. There are more than 30 pieces of Pearl Tower, Zhu Maichen, Qin Xianglian and Qin Xianglian. Before singing the main song, we often compose music and sing some short pieces called "Eighteen Beats". During the Second Revolutionary Civil War and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, ancient artists in China composed and sang "Sending Lang to the Red Army" and "Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation" in the form of "eighteen episodes" to mobilize the workers and peasants to participate in the revolutionary struggle. After the founding of New China, some traditional tracks were preliminarily sorted out, and new tracks such as Xiaofei Buying Medicine and Mother and Daughter Meeting were arranged and sung.
