Guangxi Zhuang Opera (Composition)

According to relevant records, Beilu Zhuang Opera is commonly known as "local opera". In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Jiuzhou Town in tianlin county has become a major traffic artery connecting Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and a political, economic, cultural center and trade distribution center. At this time, Hokuriku Zhuang drama came into being, and it took more than 300 years from gestation to formation. From the Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1644) to the 25th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1760), it was the gestation period of Beilu Zhuang Opera. In the past hundred years, it has gone through several stages, such as "eight-tone singing", "bench play", "doorway play", "courtyard tour play" and "stage play". How many times did Beilu Zhuang Opera go through from the 25th year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1760) to the last year of Tongzhi (A.D. 1874)? It has been gradually improved. From Jiaqing to Daoguang-year (A.D. 1796 to 182 1 year), Huang, an artist of Beilu Zhuang Opera in Yangbaitun, the old state, processed and adapted "Pingdiao" and renamed it "Zhengdiao", which laid the main melody music of Beilu Zhuang Opera, and Beilu Zhuang Opera began to spread to nearby provinces and counties. Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1875 ~ 1908) was the heyday of the vigorous development of Beilu Zhuang drama, which was produced and developed with the activities of various ethnic groups and was mostly performed at weddings, festivals and song concerts. The Zhuang drama in Hokuriku has a strong folk flavor, and most of them sing "cute", which means "smart" in Zhuang language. Artists are ingenious, integrating the "intelligence" of the Zhuang people into the opera music, and using it to start and end every lyric, which is not available in other operas. The musical style of Beilu Zhuang Opera is simple, refined, elegant and meaningful. The melody is stable and clear, and the melody is quiet and beautiful; The accompaniment instrument is loud and clear, with a long aftertaste. When performing, read aloud and sing in Zhuang language, and all voices are in Zhuang language. The proverbs, slang and aphorisms of this nation have been successfully used. Rhetorically, it is based on metaphor, neat antithesis, rich vocabulary, vivid language and natural rhyme, which is unique in the art of drama language. Since its birth, there have been more than 300 dramas of the Zhuang nationality in Beilu, most of which come from the life practice of the Zhuang nationality in Beilu, reflecting the Zhuang nationality's will to live and aesthetic habits, eulogizing the truth, goodness and beauty, and lashing the false, ugly and evil, which are in line with the Zhuang nationality's moral norms ideologically. Among them, traditional dramas include Farmer Tie Bao and Nagui Girl, which praise the happy marriage; There are "Long Wen and Xiao Ni" and "Long Tu Gong An" which expose the evil of dark rule in feudal society; There are "Nong Gao Zhi" and "Liu Er Da Fan Gui" praising the peasant uprising and national heroes; There are anti-feudal marriage systems, such as Four Sisters in the World and Marriage of Blood and Tears; There is Kannonji's understanding of wood, which embodies the ethics of human relations.
