Cultural Inheritance of Meihua Opera —— Introduction of Li Yangui's story of selling water

China traditional opera culture has a long history and is one of the important ways of people's daily life and entertainment. As one of the traditional operas in China, Meihua Opera also has a very rich repertoire. Next, I want to introduce Li Yangui, a water seller. What kind of plot will this change drama have?

Li Yangui, who sells water, is adapted from Foal of Fire, which shows the poor and unyielding love pursuit of the heroine. The euphemistic and clear singing and sensible performance of the hero and heroine in the play made people cry.

Li Shou, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Song Dynasty, was framed and imprisoned by traitors. The second son, Li Yangui, was engaged to his daughter Huang and went to his fiancee's house. Seeing that the Li family was in trouble, he planned to dissolve the marriage. Li Yangui was reduced to the street and sold water to satisfy his hunger. Huang saw his father's favor and refused to break off his marriage. Later, with the help of the maid Mei Ying, they met in Huangjia Garden and got married for a hundred years.

The opera voice of Meihua Opera;

Hu Mei's tunes are very rich, with a total of 100 for 72 and 36 well-known songs, but in fact they have far exceeded this figure. After liberation, only 200 or 300 songs were collected and sorted out, and even more songs were performed in different places.

Hu Mei's accompaniment instruments are mainly Sanxian, supplemented by Banhu and Haidi. The drama Liang Qiuyan is a representative play of Hu Mei's opera. Starring Li Ruifang, has a good reputation.

The singing form of plum blossom:

First, the folk art form of singing opera in the street stalls is still preserved. Most of his plays are book plays, such as Widow's Field Investigation, Gu Chenghui, Grandma Becoming a Monk, etc. This kind of program often sings to the end, and is rarely spoken in plain English.

First, stage performances, such as Anti-Datong, Huoju and other large-scale plays, as well as other discount plays such as Sean Selling Cloth, Two Parents Fighting, and Du Shiniang, are all white, singing and performing, and the choice of qupai is free.
