Yunnan characteristics:

1. Yunnan Opera:

Yunnan Opera was gradually developed when Sixian (originated from the earlier Qin Opera), Xiangyang (originated from the Xianghe School of Han Tune) and Huqin (originated from Huizhou Tune) were introduced to Yunnan from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and it was popular in the vast areas of more than 9 counties and cities in Yunnan and parts of Sichuan and Guizhou.

Yunnan opera is a kind of traditional Chinese opera. Yunnan Opera, including Sixian, Xiangyang and Huqin, and some miscellaneous tunes were introduced to Yunnan from the end of Ming Dynasty to the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and gradually developed, gradually absorbing local folk arts and forming local operas with their own characteristics.

The Sixian, Huqin and Xiangyang tunes and some miscellaneous tunes of Yunnan Opera all come from the opera tunes of people outside the province: Sixian originated from the Qin tune, Huqin originated from the Hui tune that evolved from the tune, and Xiangyang originated from the Chu tune (renamed as Han Opera after the Revolution of 1911). After the three tunes were introduced to Yunnan, they were transformed in combination with Yunnan dialect sounds, customs and folk music, and gradually formed the three tunes of Yunnan Opera. In addition, the Kuntou and Kundaoban of Yunnan Opera are related to Kunqu Opera, while the flat plate, bridge, ginseng tune and Anqing tune are related to Blowing Tune (also known as Shipai Tune). When these vocal cavities are integrated on the stage of Yunnan drama, it is the day when Yunnan drama is formed.

2. Yunnan Lantern Festival:

Yunnan Lantern Festival originated from folk lantern dance, which was a local opera popular in Yunnan in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. In the popular process, different singing and performance styles are formed due to the influence of local voices and folk songs. Yunnan Lantern Opera has three branches: Kunming Lantern Opera, Yuxi Lantern Opera and Yao 'an Lantern Opera. Among them, Kunming Lantern retains the most Ming and Qing ditties and plays, and the accompaniment instrument is mainly Hu Qin. Yao 'an Lantern folk songs have strong colors, mainly accompanied by flutes and bangzi. Yuxi Lantern has the earliest innovation, so it is called "New Lantern", and its repertoire and performance form are greatly influenced by Yunnan Opera. ?
