When did Jin Opera originate? When did it mature?

Jin Opera originated in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty and gradually developed and matured in Guangxu period. A local opera in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, namely? Zhou Pu Bangzi? . Because this local opera is used to singing with dates, is it also called as? Bangzi cavity? . With the development of time, this kind of drama has become more and more mature, and gradually four other kinds of dramas have been derived, among which Shanxi Opera is one. The other three derivative operas are Pu Opera, Hokuriku Bangzi and Shangdang Bangzi.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the once silent Zhou Pu Bangzi rose again. In this context, Pubang Club is no longer confined to Zhou Pu, but begins to expand its performance area to the north. At that time, people in Jinzhong, Taiyuan and other places liked performances such as Zhou Pu Bangzi very much, and many local wealthy businessmen rushed to book performances or undertake theatrical troupes. With the rise of this trend, Zhou Pu Bangzi gradually took root in Zhonglu area. However, after entering the Xianfeng period, Zhou Pu Bangzi was silent again.

The silence of Zhou Pu Bangzi deprived people in the middle of the road of a pastime, so they were disappointed and bored. In this case, some wealthy businessmen began to invite people to discuss their teams with the intention of creating a new drama. This discussion about the new drama didn't come to a conclusion until the middle and late Xianfeng period. A new drama, which combines the phonology of Pubang and the vocal characteristics of Zhonglu Yangko, began to be staged in this period. This new kind of drama is called Zhonglu Bangzi because it was born in Zhonglu, and it has been loved by some wealthy businessmen since its launch. With the support of wealthy businessmen, the class clubs of this drama began to increase day by day, and its performance became more and more perfect in the process.

By the end of Tongzhi, Zhonglu Bangzi had reached a certain scale. After entering Guangxu period, Zhonglu Bangzi entered a new stage of development. Before this, Zhou Pu Bangzi was mainly used for reference by the artists of Zhonglu Bangzi, but after that, Zhonglu Bangzi began to be performed by the artists of Zhonglu. Especially after fifteen years of Guangxu, the mature middle road bangzi began to enter a glorious period. Later, in the Republic of China, people began to use the middle school bangzi because they saw its development and prosperity. Shanxi Bangzi? Specifically refers to this kind of drama. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was renamed as? Jin opera? .
