Rushan Yangge Opera Most people believe that Yangge Opera originated in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. It is a product of the heyday of Chinese opera. People like opera and Yangge Opera, so some people "grafted" these two arts together. The stage for performing opera is limited by material conditions such as venues, and the distance between actors and audiences is relatively far. There are no such problems when performing on flat ground. It's just that when watching, the audience can't see it. But there is a way. Actors can "stand out" and "become popular" by walking on stilts. Some people also believe that Yangge Opera should be earlier than Zaju Opera, and Zaju Opera was created by learning Yangge Opera. Yangge Opera has narrative scripts, special props, singing tunes, and actor professions. Actor professions are also called roles. Xiao Man in Yangge Opera corresponds to Hua Dan in drama, Cui Hua corresponds to Lao Dan, Bang Chui corresponds to Xiao Sheng, and Gu Zi corresponds to Lao Sheng and Chou Jiao. Yangko opera is mainly based on singing and speaking, so it has more opera elements and good storytelling function; in the traditional sense, the routines of Yangko are mostly designed around "noisy", "twisting" and "playing", mainly based on body language, with more dance elements and good function of livening up the atmosphere. Yangko opera is a "play" that "runs" from the stage to the backstage, but this kind of square song and dance drama sometimes runs back to the stage. Typical is the Yan'an period, when a batch of new Yangko operas such as "Brother and Sister Clearing the Wasteland", "Husband and Wife Learning to Read", "Picking Cotton", "Second Daughter-in-law Spinning Thread" and "A Red Flower" were also performed on the stage. Yangko opera combines education with entertainment, and has made great contributions to changing customs and spreading red culture. Rushan Yangko opera "entered" with a large number of immigrants in the Ming Dynasty, and then showed strong vitality. The masses like to hear and see it, widely participate in it, pass it down from generation to generation, and continue to enrich it, and finally form a regional style of "singing opera in dialect and vernacular". Yu Huiyong, former Minister of the Ministry of Culture, is a fan of Yangko. When he was teaching in Dazhuang and other villages, he would write and direct his own plays and lead the villagers to rehearse during the slack season. At that time, the rural people who could make noise played the clown role, and the quiet ones played the handsome role. There were few people who had not performed Yangko opera, because it was for their own entertainment! The active members of the rural areas would go out for tours almost every day during the first month of the lunar year. After the first month of the lunar year, the corners of the two trouser legs were worn out by the stilts. Most of these Yangko operas are in ancient costumes, and even now people still like ancient costumes. The unique costumes are themselves a beautiful scenery, and the atmosphere on the scene can be heated up all of a sudden. When mentioning old operas, some people will immediately think of feudal dregs, such as talented scholars and beautiful women, emperors and generals, but in fact, there are many cultural essences and emotional fruits in them. For example, Yangko operas such as "Sisters Marrying Easy", "Old and Young Exchange", and "Mr. Qian" that were transferred from Lv Opera all pursue justice and persuade people to be kind. Yangko operas are simple, bright, prosperous and lively. The actors walk around the stage to the beat of the drums, then stand in two rows facing each other. The actors who are about to "go on stage" line up between the two teams to sing. Generally, after a section of singing, the gongs and drums start again, and the two teams of actors dance, alternating their positions on the stage. The singing style of Rushan Yangge Opera is mainly "Pao Sichuan Tune", and there are also big boards, small boards, and bozi tunes. In short, no matter what the subject matter is or what the words are, the movements have fixed routines and the singing style has fixed tunes. This is the main reason why Yangge Opera can be widely popularized. Information source: Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Information source: Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television
