Why is the spread and popularity of Yuan opera far less than that of Tang and Song poems?

It doesn't feel like it's a level, if you look at the Tang and Song poems, they are all very short, concise, brilliantly written, catchy and easy to spread. On the other hand, Yuanqu has too many words, and it seems that there is no way to pass it on by word of mouth, so the dissemination is greatly reduced.

From this point of view alone, I think it is certain that Yuan Qu is not as good as Tang and Song poetry.

First of all, the ideological and emotional reasons, due to the particularity of the Yuan Dynasty Sanqu, whether it is a loose song or a drama, the Yuan Song is based on the idea of seclusion and escapism as the mainstream, followed by the number of works is relatively small, after all, the Yuan Dynasty has only nearly a hundred years of history, plus the Yuan Song as an "unorthodox" style, has always been valued to a limited extent, the literature is very serious, the number of surviving works is far inferior to the Tang and Song poems, the number of scattered songs in the "Quanyuan Sanqu" is only more than 4,000 in total, and the whole Song Dynasty has 20,000 words. There are nearly 50,000 poems in the Tang Dynasty.

Both the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty were prosperous and peaceful, and there were many literati. Only Guotai Ming'an can create a large number of popular Tang and Song poems that have been passed down through the ages.

The Yuan Dynasty has existed for less than a hundred years, although there are many classics in Yuan Qu. For example, "Dou E's Injustice", but when the Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil, famine, and the people were displaced, and even food and clothing could not be solved, how could they create spiritual wealth?

Yuanqu has more words, not as good as Tang poems and Song Ci in terms of rhyme and artistic conception, Yuanqu is more of a description of historical facts and reality, and is a criticism of reality, and its audience is limited, while Tang poems and Song Ci have been in contact with people since the Enlightenment Era, and they have been in contact with people for a long time in Time Mountain, and their spread is naturally wider.

Yuanqu is part of our excellent traditional culture, but Yuanqu is biased towards the story of opera, we can understand a lot of truth through Yuanqu, but we will not remember Yuanqu.

The most important thing is that the number of Yuan songs is not as many as Tang and Song poems, taking me as an example, the Yuan songs I know now are Guan Hanqing's "Dou E's Injustice", and I believe that many people's impression of the park is only knowing this work.

Tang poems and Song lyrics are numerous, and they are catchy, and you can fully understand the culture of the time through Tang poems and Song lyrics, so its spread is much higher than that of Yuan songs.

I think a very direct reason is the lack of people! It's not at the same level as Tang poetry and Song Ci! ! I estimate that there is probably not a single professional scholar in the textbook compilation group who studies prose as the main direction, which will naturally affect the selection of textbooks for this genre, after all, it is not the main research in this direction, and the degree of familiarity and attention to this genre will inevitably be limited.

In this case, although everyone knows that Tang poetry and Song poetry and Yuan Qu are called together, the spread and popularity of Yuan Song are far less widespread than Tang and Song poems.

From a literary point of view, Tang and Song poems are more literary, and some words cannot be changed at all, which is their charm. Compared with the former, the words used in Yuanqu are not too elegant.

From the perspective of communication, Tang and Song poems are short, concise, catchy, and easy to memorize, while Yuan songs are mostly sung in combination with opera, and the dissemination is not high.

In terms of the background of the times, the Tang and Song dynasties were prosperous times of great unification, while the people under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty were displaced, and they could not even eat enough, let alone pursue spiritual wealth.

Different times have different needs for culture. Tang and Song poems were developed during the period of relatively rapid economic development of the country, catering to the spiritual needs of the broad masses of the people and spreading widely. Moreover, Tang and Song poems are written on paper, which is convenient and faster to disseminate.

Yuanqu was relatively only spread among the upper classes, and the way of transmission was lacking.

Tang poetry and Song poetry have a pioneering status of literature and dan, whether it is creativity or artistry, they have reached a height that is difficult to surpass. The song adds linings on the basis of the lyrics, introduces a lot of colloquial slang, is not so innovative, and the overall artistic level is not as high as that of Tang and Song poems. Yuanqu represents the rise of market culture, which began to pay more attention to stories and became an important part of opera, while losing the independence of Tang and Song poems as poems.

Tang poetry has the highest status, followed by Song poetry, and Yuan song is the lowest.

The order of the birth time, compilation and selection of poems and songs, study time, number of readers, and number of citations is 300 Tang poems, 300 Song poems, and 300 Yuan songs. Among the 300 Yuan songs, only the well-known one is "Tianjingsha Qiusi". Among the Mongolian classics, there are "Thousand Family Poems", Tang poems without Song words and Yuan songs.

Yuan song style: Tang and Song poems and Yuan songs, in short, are becoming more and more popular and popular.

From the perspective of the style of poetry, lyrics, and songs, there is a very clear distinction between the three. Li Dongqi of the Qing Dynasty once said: "The words of the poem are kitsch and vulgar." ”

Poetry, suitable for talking about personal aspirations, social care, etc., are some big topics, such as a good businessman suddenly doesn't want to do it and wants to go into politics? In ancient times, there was nowhere for you to give a speech on TV, what should I do? Write poetry!

As for the words, they are more used lyrically, writing about the emotions of men and women, and they are more feminine. This is also why there are more female lyricists than female poets, speaking of female lyricists, you can think of Li Qingzhao, when it comes to female poets, who can you think of?

Qu is a bit like a local opera, the subject matter is very mixed, and the language is the most vernacular, so it is relatively simple and popular, and it is naturally not the most quiet love of literary and artistic youth.

Yuan song content: divided into loose songs and yuan miscellaneous dramas.

Sanqu, as the name suggests, is used for singing. The content is popular and the sentence structure is flexible.

The famous Arima Zhiyuan, the representative work of Tianjingsha Qiusi.

Yuan miscellaneous drama is actually a drama performed on the stage of the Yuan Dynasty. It marks the maturity of Chinese opera. It contains narration, dance, literature, stage decoration, etc., so it is called miscellaneous.

Because Yuan opera is a stage performance of the Yuan Dynasty, it marks the maturity of China's drama, which is relatively simple and easy to understand, and is not the love of our young people.

The main reason is that Yuanqu is not very easy to understand, many young people can't understand it, and the expression is more complicated, so it is rarely mentioned.

Because there are not many Yuanqu itself handed down, the textbooks rarely involve Yuanqu when I was in school, and the popularization of science in Yuanqu is not enough.

Because words are better than tunes to record and promote, and there was no such thing as a tape recorder before, which made it more difficult to promote.

The song that is sung must be written and notated, and it is only circulated in the music work, so it cannot survive in large quantities, and the probability of passing it down is very low.

Because the poems at that time were all written down, and the reading did not change much, the tone of the music changed a lot.

Written poems are better recorded than songs, and the requirements of songs are relatively high, and the tone is the soul of the song, which is difficult to preserve at that time.

The art form of the Yuan Dynasty is mainly opera scripts, and what has been handed down now is the part of the words of the script, which are interpreted with the corresponding **, with specific singing tones and repertoire, so the repertoire has not been well handed down.

Because poems are written down, the way the words are read will not change much, but the tone of the tune will not change too much, so it will not be handed down.

Because the words need to be translated, it will take a lot of time during this period, and at the same time, it is not so valued by modern citizens, and the original charm may be lost because of the translation at that time.

I think it has a lot to do with the interruption of the medieval rhyme, the change of the language system, the disappearance of some tones also has a great impact on the song, especially the Qing Dynasty is difficult to recover after being lost again.

After all, the reading of the text does not change much, but the tone of the tune has changed too much, and now the essence of the tone has also changed, so it is lost.

The Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty built the capital, and the official dialect at that time was completely different, and the language of the northern region began to change in the Song Dynasty, including the disappearance of the tone, which also led to the use of medieval rhyme The scope of use is getting smaller and smaller, and it is difficult to sing accurately when the pronunciation changes, and the fewer people who can't sing.

Because although the reading of the text does not change much, the tone of the tune changes too much, and there is no way to pass it on.

Tang poems, Song ci, and Yuan songs are all different in syntax and style.

The songs are more popular, and the poems and lyrics are more elegant.

Tang poems are mainly.

Fifth, seven-word poems, the words should be filled in according to the word card, and the length of the sentence is different, so it is also called long and short sentences. The song is similar to the word, and it should be filled in according to the song card. Therefore, the Tang people's poetry can be called writing poems, and the Song people's lyrics and Yuan people's composition are called filling in words and songs.

The word plate of Song Ci is the tune of the Central Plains, and the Yuan song is the tune of the northern grassland peoples, so the Yuan song is also called the Northern Song.

First of all, Tang poems come from the Tang Dynasty, Song poems come from the Song Dynasty, and Yuan songs come from the Yuan Dynasty; Secondly, Tang poems are poems, Song poems are poems, and Yuan songs are songs; The point is that Tang poetry is divided into rhythmic poems and quatrains, which are divided into five words and seven words, and Song poetry and Yuan songs are divided into small orders, middle tones and long tones. Tang poems compare Song Ci and Yuan Qu, and the requirements may be more...

Tang poems are poems of Tang **, Song Ci is poems of Song **, and Yuan Qu is the song of Yuan **.

The number of words is different, Tang poems are 5 words, 7 words, and Song poems do not stipulate the number of words. . .

The first is the economic factor.

The second is the political factor.

The third is the cultural factor

Of course, there are other models, which are exactly the models represented by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, social and economic development and the prosperity of urban commerce provided a material foundation for the emergence of rich and colorful cultural and entertainment methods for citizens; At the same time, the development of the city, the growth of the citizen class, the society needs rich and colorful cultural entertainment to meet the needs of the citizens' cultural life, which is the internal driving force for the growth of market culture.

Yuan Qu is essentially no different from Song Ci. If there is a difference, it is only a difference in the form of expression. Song Ci is an improvement of poetry on the basis of Tang poetry to meet the needs of social life.

On the basis of Song songs, Yuanqu is a word that integrates the characteristics of the Hu people, and is a form of expression that is mandatory to implement with the entry of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty into the Central Plains, so Yuanqu is also called Huqu, and Yuan is the meaning of the Yuan Dynasty.

The biggest difference between Song Ci and Yuan Qu is as follows:

In addition to the orthography, Yuanqu can be lined at the beginning of the sentence or in the sentence, which is more free, flexible and more suitable for the use of spoken language.

The two use different rhymes. Yuanqu used the northern dialect rhyme at that time. The co-rhyme method is to rhyme through one rhyme without changing the rhyme.

The form of Yuanqu battle is relatively rich, except for even sentences, three or four sentences can be correct. There is also the equivalence of couplet beads.

In addition, Yuanqu has"Chief"、"Haiku"and other formal characteristics.

People say "Tang poems and Song words and Yuan songs", aren't Song words and Yuan songs the same thing? Could it be that the words made in the Song Dynasty were not sung, and they were not sung until the Yuan Dynasty composed music?

Song Ci and Yuan Qu are not the same thing.

Yuan opera, or Yuan miscellaneous opera, is an opera art that prevailed in the Yuan Dynasty, and is a combination of loose opera and miscellaneous opera. It is not the "Yuan song" that you understand as "the words made in the Song Dynasty, don't sing them, and sing them until the Yuan Dynasty composes".

The song of Yuan Qu refers not to the music score, but to opera, Yuan miscellaneous opera.

It's still different, although we seem to have Song Ci and Yuan Qu that can be sung, and they are both long and short sentences, but they are not the same. The Yuan songs we usually see are scattered songs, just like the Yangtong care for the ancient times on the slope of Zhonglu Mountain. But there are also Yuan miscellaneous dramas in Yuan Qu, such as Dou E's injustice, Han Palace Autumn, and Wutong Rain.

There is no such thing in Song Ci. Then relative to the Song words, Yuanqu can be lined with words, the words stipulate how many words are for each word card, how many words are for each sentence, that is, it is dead, and Yuanqu can be lined with words. There are also some phonological differences, but now that we are popularizing Mandarin, we can't understand it.
