The two-eighths plate is the most expressive and varied of the four major types of plate in Yu opera. In addition to the basic two-eighths board, it can also be divided into slow two-eighths board, middle two-eighths board, two-eighths board, fast two-eighths board, tight two-eighths board, tight playing and slow singing and other boards. Because of the past is made up of two eight board (eight bars) composed of a musical cycle and repeated use of the name. With the continuous enrichment of the performance content, this fixed and dull program has been broken. Nowadays, the two eight-panel combination of the Yu Dongtong and Yu Xi tunes are composed of two major schools of singing, and a glance at the board can constitute hundreds of large singing sections, mainly used for narratives. It can be changed according to the plot and the feelings of the characters, and it can express bright, cheerful and joyful, as well as anxious, tense, angry and sorrowful scenes. In addition, the two eight boards can also be derived from the quack mouth, dog biting, chaotic bomb, stack boards, moving stools, etc.
Slow boards are the most popular and most popular of all.
The slow boards are slow boards, golden hooks, anti-golden hooks, and parked boards, and are generally three-eyed boards. The upper and lower phrases are sung in the center eye and fall on the board. The sound of the upper line is more free, and the sound of the lower line is different between the Yu Dong and Yu Xi tunes. Slow plate is one of the commonly used plate styles in Yu opera singing. Its prelude to the door has a variety of forms, of which the most commonly used are six bang, four bang, guide four bang and wind a bang. The starting form of the slow board is divided into two kinds: the whole board and the loose board. The whole plate is called the first sentence of the cavity, and the loose plate is sung on the top sentence of the planting plate or the big plate, from the next sentence into the slow plate. The basic structure of the ordinary upper and lower sentences in the slow plate is a sentence of singing is divided into two clauses, there is a small door in the middle; after the whole sentence of singing, with the end of the sentence with the sound of the eight bangs to follow the cavity of the door (which can also be reduced to four bangs or omitted altogether). In addition to the above basic structural form of the slow plate, there are a variety of local changes produced by the cavity. In the upper line, there are the first line and three lines, and in the lower line, there are the single and double lines. The closing of the slow plate, also known as the locking plate, has the same basic structure as the ordinary next sentence, except that most of the closing speeds are gradually slowed down, and there is a short overdoor at the end of the closing tone. The speed of the slow plate is more scalable, and can be fast, medium, or slow with the different moods of its content.
The water board is also one of the common boards used in Yu opera, and can be divided into water board, slow water board, fast water board, water board and so on. The singing is generally in the form of a board with the eyes rising and falling. Different speed changes can be made according to the needs. The tune is relatively free and flexible, with a smooth melody and rhythm, which is suitable for expressing cheerful and lively scenes as well as depressing and sad emotions. It is also derived from the palletizing plate and the two gongs. Its main characteristic is that there are especially many syncopated rhythms across the bars in the melody. Whether it is the rise and fall of the cantata, or the ups and downs and twists and turns in the cantata melody, most of them appear in the eye position. The upper line of the running board falls more freely, and the lower line falls on the "5" or "1" sound. In the ordinary up-and-down sentence structure, with the fall of the last sentence of the cantata, there is generally a following accent over the door. The prelude is basically the same as that of the [two-eight board], with different knowledge of the beginning and end of the spring. There are many different forms of starting and ending the flow board. The main focus of the water board category of subsidiary boards are the water board and two gongs, such as Zanzi.
Flying board is also used as a non-board, no board, no eyes, free rhythm, is a kind of Langyu-style singing, belonging to the loose board category. In addition, there are rolling white, planting boards, calling boards and so on. There are also three formats: crying rhyme, traveling rhyme, and absolute rhyme. Crying rhyme to express grief, sadness, emotion; line rhyme is used to spit out the narrative, the absolute rhyme is suitable for the performance of decisive, impassioned emotion. Generally use the flyboard singing paragraph are shorter, four, six, eight lines that is transferred to other board.
