Extended data:
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.
