What is the current survival status and development prospects of Henan Opera?

Henan Opera, formerly known as "Henan Bangzi", commonly known as "Henan Eulogy", "Acura Opera" and "Tubang Opera", is a large opera with a deep mass foundation.

It has a history of more than 200 years since seeing the written records about it, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has spread to the hinterland of Henan Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has developed and expanded at a rare speed, spreading throughout the urban and rural areas of Henan, and spreading to more than a dozen provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, including Taiwan, Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei, Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Sichuan, and Jiangsu. By the mid-80s, Henan Opera ranked first among more than 300 local operas in the country in terms of performance groups, number of practitioners, and number of audiences.

There are many regional genres such as Xiangfu tune, eastern Henan tune, Shahe tune, and western Henan tune.

First of allHenan OperaIt is the largest drama in the Central Plains, and its large scale is an advantage, which is reflected in the large number of troupes and practitioners. It is the biggest drama in China. Of course, Henan opera also has relative disadvantages, and until now, Henan opera is still a kind of "peasant" drama.

Its audiences and performance activities are mainly in rural areas, and there is no commercial performance atmosphere in the city, and it has not been continuously exported to areas outside the Central Plains. Therefore, more people do not necessarily lead to more people, and the impact of the same performance in remote villages and bustling cities is very different.

Because of its high artistry, it is widely welcomed by people from all walks of life. Because its ** accompaniment is based on jujube bangzi as the beat, it was named Henan Bangzi in the early days.

Moreover, due to the differences in pronunciation in various places, Henan Opera has formed an artistic genre with regional characteristics.

In order to distinguish the artists of Henan Opera, the singing tone of Luoyang and other places is called Henan West Tune (also known as Xifu Tune), and the singing tone of Kaifeng is called Henan East Tune (also known as Xiangfu Tune).

The Northern String Tune was developed directly; Three said: It is developed by absorbing artistic achievements such as "strings" on the basis of the popular fashion orders in the Central Plains since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially since the middle and late Ming Dynasty. However, with the deepening of research and a large number of data confirmation, especially in the process of compiling and revising the "Chinese Opera Chronicles: Henan Volume", experts from all walks of life have conducted extensive investigations and demonstrations, and concluded that the earliest birthplace of Henan Bangzi is in Kaifeng, Henan and the surrounding counties of Kaifeng.
