Wenzhou Kunqu Opera, also known as Yongjia Kunqu Opera, is a Kunqu Opera school popular in the southern Zhejiang region with Wenzhou as its center. After Kunqu Opera was introduced to Wenzhou during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573-1619), it merged with the opera vocal styles of Wenzhou and gradually formed this local opera. The vocal styles of Wenzhou Kunqu Opera include the same tune as Su Kun Opera, the same tune with different tunes, and unique tunes. The singing is not restricted by the traditional rules of linked palace tunes. It can be linked with the same palace with different tunes, and even change the tune in the middle of a certain tune, showing great flexibility and richness. In terms of percussion, it also preserves the relatively simple folk gong and drum beats. The roles initially included Xiaosheng, Zhengsheng, Dangjia, Huadan, Dahua, and Xiaohua. With the addition of drum boards and Zhengchui, you can perform, which is called "eight-foot head". Later it developed to 13 feet. The performance art is simple, natural, bright, and pays attention to the reality of life. The clown's lines are mostly in Wenzhou dialect. There are more than 120 Wenzhou Kunqu operas of various sizes, including "Jingchai", "White Rabbit", "Killing Dog", "Pipa", "Golden Seal", "Embroidered Jacket", "Eight Righteousness", etc. There are also seven works by Li Yu and a number of unique repertoires. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Yongkun had troupes such as Xiubai and Aiyun. The heyday from the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods to the early Republic of China was when there were as many as thirty or forty troupes. The most famous ones were Xintongfu and Xinpinyu, who were known as "Pinyu has good costumes, while Tongfu has expensive hairpins." Xintongfu was founded by Ye Liangjin (stage name Pu Mensheng) and Yang Shengtao (A Taoer), with a complete cast. Famous artists Xu Zheng, Binghu (Ye Xiaofeng), and Qiu Yifeng (Xiaoshengshui) were all taught by Pu Mensheng and became famous in the art world. Another actor, Gao Yuqing, was nicknamed "Da Mudan" by the audience. He had superb acting skills and was the only one in the Kun Opera troupe for decades. He had more than 200 disciples, and thus Yongjia Kun Opera became famous. Later, Yang Yongtang and Yang Yinyou inherited Yongkun's legacy. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yongkun artists gradually declined and the audience dropped sharply. In 1951, Xintongfu, Xinpinyu, Yipinchun, The scattered artists of Nanchun Troupe formed the Julun Troupe in Wenzhou. In 1954, it was assigned to Yongjia County and named Yongjia Kunqu Opera Troupe. It was once popular for its outstanding performing artists such as Yang Yinyou, a Sheng actor, and Zhou Yunjuan, a Dan actor. In the 1950s, it went to Shanghai to perform "Jingchai Ji", "Pipa Ji", "Xiu Ru Ji", etc., and won unanimous praise. After watching, Shanghai famous artist Yu Zhenfei praised "Nankun and Beikun are not as good as Yongkun". In 1957, the Wenzhou Opera Training Class trained a group of outstanding young actors for Yongjia Kunqu Opera Troupe. Now another group of students are being trained in Shanghai. It can be said that they are fearless despite the wind and snow, and are still full of business. In the spring of 2000, they became famous in the Kunqu Opera world with a play "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan", which won unanimous praise from experts. Wenzhou is indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Generation after generation of Wenzhou people have fertilized this land with their blood. However, economic waves again and again have brought unlimited economic benefits, but have swept away the simplest culture in the hearts of Wenzhou people. Wenzhou opera and folk art, as an important part of Ouyue culture and a true portrayal of Wenzhou's humanistic feelings, are moving away step by step, and the familiar local accent is getting farther and farther away from us. Yongkun, Wenzhou Kunqu is a school of Kunqu in southern China. Because it is popular in Yongjia area, it is also called "Yongkun". It is basically similar to Suzhou Kunqu, but the melody is slightly tighter, the rhythm is faster, and its dialogue is mostly in Wenzhou dialect.
