Yong'an Daqiang Opera was formed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is a school of Yiyang Opera. It is called Daqiang Opera because it is "big gongs and drums singing big opera, big voices singing high tunes". During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, the Xiong family of Fengtian Village, Qingshui She Ethnic Township, Yong'an City, Fujian Province sent people to Shicheng, Jiangxi every year to worship their ancestors and learn Yiyang Opera from local artists. Then, they combined local folk songs, folk songs and Taoist music to establish a Daqiang Opera troupe. With the migration of some members of the Xiong family to surrounding areas, Daqiang Opera spread to Datian, Youxi, Shaxian and other places. There are more than 100 traditional repertoires of Yong'an Daqiang Opera, and the commonly performed ones include "The Story of the White Rabbit", "The Story of the Golden Seal", "The Story of Winning the Three Yuans", "The Story of Sunflowers", "Taking Armor", "Huang Feihu", "Destroying Qingyang", "Three Generations of Glory", "The Story of the Sword", "The White Silk Shirt", "The Dream of the Moon Platform", "The Story of Selling Water" and so on. Daqiang Opera has more voices and fewer words, and is rough, high-pitched, simple and straight. The actors mainly use big voices, and the big and small voices are combined. The backstage constantly joins in the performance, which retains the characteristics of Yiyang Opera: "one person speaks, and everyone joins in." The roles of Daqiang Opera are divided into "four doors and nine lines". The "four doors" are Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Chou, and the "nine lines" are Zhengsheng, Xiaosheng, Fusheng, Zhengdan, Xiaodan, Fudan, Dahua, Erhua, Sanhua, in addition to Laodan and Tiedan. Daqiang Opera troupe usually consists of 15 people, and the accompanying instruments are only gongs, drums, cymbals, suona and boards. During the performance, there is only one table and two chairs on the stage. The actors' costumes are relatively simple, or they simply do not wear costumes. They only use red, black and white makeup, and then put on a unique "beard cover" and go to the table to perform. The drummer sits on a chair and plays the drums, and keeps singing from beginning to end, acting with the actors. In addition to entertaining themselves, the Daqiang opera in Fengtian Village is often performed in the village's welcoming festivals, ancestor worship and festivals. After Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, Daqiang opera began to decline due to the popularity of Xiaoqiang opera in the northwest of Fujian. By the 1920s, many Daqiang opera troupes had disbanded one after another, and the scope of activities of the remaining troupes gradually narrowed. Fengtian Village is located between high mountains and dense forests, with poor transportation, so Daqiang opera, an ancient opera formed in the Ming Dynasty, has been preserved to this day and has not been interrupted for more than 500 years. The performance movements, stage scheduling, and stage art forms of Daqiang opera are all precious relics of Ming Dynasty drama, and are important first-hand materials for the study of Chinese opera history, cultural history, and social life history. Today, the Daqiang opera troupe in Fengtian Village has less than 20 members, and the performance scope is limited to the village and the township. In recent years, with the continuous enrichment of cultural life, the interest of local people in Fengtian in Daqiang opera has been decreasing year by year. There are fewer and fewer amateur performances of Daqiang opera, and the age of artists is also aging. The poverty of life in the mountainous area makes the young generation eager to change their economic situation have no time to learn and inherit this ancient opera. The shrinking performance market and the lack of successors have put Yong'an Daqiang opera in an endangered state, which urgently needs to be rescued and protected.
