Then tell you in detail:
According to legend, Lei Haiqing was a folk artist in the Tang Dynasty. He is proficient in music and plays the pipa well. He was a famous musician in Yuefu in Tang Dynasty, and often went to the palace to accompany Tang and Jiang. Once, when Tang He was in the palace watching "Children of Liyuan" perform various plays, he saw that he was lost in thought. After careful inquiry, he knew that she was looking forward to watching a drama in her hometown in Putian. Tang sent a group of Liyuan operas to Xinghua to sing in the palace.
The stage music characteristics of Liyuan Opera are different from other operas, which are big drums and big blows. At the beginning of the play, Emperor Tang Ming heard the drums, and Malik galloped to the sky, which was full of royal charm. But after listening to it, I felt that the drums were beating, and I was uneasy. I'll speak quickly and keep my voice down, or my heart will jump out. When Lei Haiqing saw a small stone lion on the edge of the stage, he moved it away and pressed it on the corner of the drum head. The drums are really small, and Tang is happy. Then he listened to the musician's "Big Blow", and at that time he felt high and melodious, and he also had the demeanor of an imperial family. After a while, I felt harsh again and said that I would be deaf if I continued like this. Lei Haiqing changed a "small blow" overnight, which was smaller than other operas. The sound quality is clear and pleasant, and Tang repeatedly said "Good!" He gladly renamed "Liyuan Opera" as "Liyuan Opera" and later became Puxian Opera. Up to now, there is a small stone lion on the drum used by the drummer of Puxian Opera, which is not found in other operas. Suona is divided into big blowing and small blowing, which is the characteristic of Puxian opera music and its origin lies here.
Lei Haiqing, upright and upright, has always been bitter about An Lushan's arrogance. An Lushan repeatedly asked Lei Haiqing to play the pipa for him, but he politely refused. When An Lushan defected to Chang 'an, he threatened Lei Haiqing to play the pipa for him. Lei Haiqing didn't give in to his arrogance, raised his pipa and hit him on the head. An Lushan "dismembered it and showed it to the public, which was very miserable."
Upon learning of Lei Haiqing's death, Emperor Tang Ming named him "the first pear garden in the world". Since then, since Chang 'an, it has gradually spread among the people, and the vast number of troupe artists have worshipped Lei Haiqing as the ancestor of opera and respected him as a "master of music", and the people have also set up altars to worship.
Puxian Opera and Liyuan Opera in Putian City are all statues of Lei Haiqing. Its statue is about a foot high. He has a red face, a black crab painted on his mouth and two braids. He was wearing a red embroidered robe, barefoot, with one foot hanging and one foot standing on hot wheels. According to the legend of the troupe, he is Lei Haiqing.
There is also a legend that Lei Haiqing appeared in the air after he was sealed. The word "thunder" on the flag is covered by the word "rain", only the word "Tian" is seen, and the people call him "Marshal Tian Gong". Feiyun Temple, next to Pukou Palace (Mei Fei Palace) in Zhenjiang East Village, Huangshi, Putian, is dedicated to "Marshal God" Lei Haiqing.
