Yiyang dialect was later called Beijing dialect. Why did you accept it so quickly in Beijing?

Yiyang Opera is a local traditional drama in yiyang county, Jiangxi Province, and it is one of the national intangible cultural heritages.

In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, Southern Opera was introduced into Jiangxi via Xinjiang. In Yiyang area, a new local tune Yiyang was born in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty by combining local dialects and folk music. At first, the singing structure of Yiyang Opera adopted the combination of qupai, which formed a very distinctive singing mode of "combining master with apprentice". In the mid-Ming dynasty, the rolling tune that broke the joint system of Qupai was developed, and many varieties were produced.

"Beijing dialect" generally refers to Beijing dialect, which has fixed pronunciation characteristics. Everyone who knows opera knows that "opera" is the most basic opera term, and "Beijing Opera" originally refers to a Yiyang tune with Beijing flavor, which occupied an important position in Beijing before the rise of Beijing Opera.

"Peking Opera" is an ancient vocal cavity that originated in Yiyang, Jiangxi. This kind of vocal cavity is spread all over the country: it spread to Hebei, and combined with local language and music, it became a "high-pitched cavity"; When it was spread to Beijing, it became "Beijing dialect" after being merged with the amethyst rhyme in Beijing. Yiyang Opera was introduced to Beijing as early as Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty (1522-1566), which was earlier than Kunqu Opera, the "ancestor of hundred operas".

Then why do you accept it in Beijing?

After entering Beijing, it was very popular until the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. In order to adapt to the audience in the capital, Yiyang dialect has been reformed to some extent. The first is to adapt to the speaking habits of Beijing audience by combining Beijing dialect;

Secondly, it widely absorbed Beijing folk tunes and changed some local accents of Yiyang dialect. As a result, Yiyang dialect, which entered Beijing, gradually acquired the local characteristics of Beijing and became "Beijing dialect".

Finally, Peking Opera (Yi Opera) is impassioned, and the golden drums are high, which can make up for the lack of softness and slow rhythm of Kunqu Opera. Therefore, Kunqu opera and Yi opera are always used together in the palace. In a word, Peking Opera (Yi Opera) is good at performing the drama of robes and jackets, or it is an extraordinary action drama. Even literary dramas are mostly martial arts, just a supplement to Kunqu opera.
