Quzi Opera is abbreviated as "Quzi", and it can be divided into "reciting Quzi" and "Quzi Opera". "Reciting Quzi" is also called "street stall", "weiguzi" or "bench opera". It is recorded that "When singing Quzi, it is accompanied by sanxian, yueqin, pipa and other instruments, and the sound is adjusted. In the past, private school students gathered with friends to sing at festivals, which was called "reciting Quzi". It does not require a special stage, let alone makeup. It is like today's opera singing, which is as little as "sanxian" and a "dish" to sing. Many mountain villages still exist today. "Quzi Opera" is more complicated. Like other opera performances, it first requires makeup, and then singing, reciting, acting and fighting are equally important. Finally, there must be complete costumes, props and complex civil and martial arts scenes for accompaniment, and it is performed on the stage. There are many tunes in Quzi Opera, and it is said that there are 36 minor tunes and 72 major tunes. According to old artists, there are far more tunes in Quzi Opera. It is "one tune, with large tunes such as 'Yue Diao', 'Bei Gong', 'Wugeng', 'Jin Qian', 'Jin Shu', 'Man Shu', 'Yue Wei', etc., which are integrated into a set of tunes that are very similar to the northern and southern tunes." Most of them directly use Meihu tunes. Such as "Gang Diao", "Yin Niusi", "Xijing", "Cai Hua", "Jin Su", "Man Su", etc. There are also new tunes evolved from local folk songs such as "Jian Hua Diao", "Lian Hua Luo", "Ding Gang" and so on. Because Quzi Opera is easy to perform, the themes are mostly folk life stories, close to life, and are popular among the masses. (Reprinted from Liuba County Government Website)
