What are the important types of music in China, and their names and functions?

According to incomplete statistics, there are about 360 kinds of traditional operas and tens of thousands of traditional plays in ethnic minority areas in China. After the founding of New China, many traditional plays have been adapted, and new historical plays and modern plays that express the theme of modern life have been warmly welcomed by the audience. The more popular and famous operas are: Beijing Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Henan Opera, xiang opera Opera, Guangdong Opera, Qin Opera, Sichuan Opera, Pingju Opera, Shanxi Opera, Han Opera, Chaozhou Opera, Fujian Opera, Qi Opera, Hebei Bangzi Opera, Huangmei Opera and Hunan Opera. There are more than 50 operas, especially Peking Opera, which is the most popular and spread all over the country.

According to legend, in the early Qing Dynasty, there were four major operas in Beijing, namely Nankun, Yi Bei, Liu Dong and Xibang. According to the records in the eighth year of Jiaqing: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was Kunqu opera, and the sound was heard, while many Yiyang, Bangzi, Qin and Liu in the north and south were homophonic, singing and dancing, and many musicians were unmoved by Beijing." It also illustrates the historical grand occasion at that time. Among them, the so-called Nankun is the Kunshan dialect popular in Kunshan area in the south of the Yangtze River. The combination of northern Yi Guide Opera and northern Quju Opera originated from Yiyang Opera in Yiyang, Jiangxi Province, which was the high-pitched opera spread to the north, which was the Peking Opera prevailing in Beijing at that time. Liu Dong is a popular Liu Qiang in Shandong. Xibang is naturally a Bangzi opera, which is widely circulated in northwest China, that is, Shaanxi opera. It shows the grand occasion of artists from all directions gathering in Beijing.

At present, the above four major tunes have gone far beyond their original scope, and some of them have spread all over the country. Yiyang Opera (that is, high-pitched opera) is widely spread in Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hebei and other places. Therefore, people concerned think this statement is unscientific, but this historical statement still objectively reflects historical facts. Judging from the current distribution of operas, Kunqu opera still has a considerable audience base in Shanghai, Nanjing, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places. Yiyang Opera not only took root and sprouted in the north, but also played an important role in the formation of Peking Opera and some northern operas from the Qianlong period, especially in many northern language areas. Although Liu Zi Opera (including Liuqin Opera influenced by it) is popular in northern Henan, northern Jiangsu, southern Hebei and northern Anhui, its important activities are Qufu, Tai 'an and Linyi in Shandong. Although Shaanxi Opera (Shaanxi Bangzi) and the Bangzi from Shanxi, Henan and Hebei are popular in the north so far, the Shaanxi Opera we saw in Gansu, Ningxia and Shaanxi has deeper roots, is older and has a wider audience, so it is called "Nankun, Yi Bei, Liu Dong and Xibang".
