This era runs through a series of major historical events, such as the Revolution of 1911, the May 4th Movement, the establishment of the China Producer Party, the Northern Expedition, the Agrarian Revolution, the ten-year civil war, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the peaceful and democratic movement, the liberation war and so on.
Various social forces are complicated, social development is changeable, and the historical process is tortuous. The whole era is full of high spirits of the people of China for national independence, democracy and happiness. And this high-spirited spirit of struggle of the times just corresponds to the dark and decadent rule and the dark side of the national crisis.
For the art of traditional Chinese opera, this era requires more and more expressive operas and dramas to express the complex and rich thoughts and feelings of modern society and to express the spiritual world and life ideals of the people, especially the citizens.
Extended data:
The reform of Yue Opera is not isolated. However, it is one of the few dramas with outstanding reform achievements, which stands out in various reform waves in China.
The flower of reform cultivated by Yuan Xuefen and her partners has borne fruitful fruits and produced extensive influence. Although the history of Yue Opera is not long, the reform time is short, mainly in 10 years before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. But her experience is relatively new and practical.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the social environment of traditional operas in China has undergone fundamental changes. Opera reform is not only the spontaneous behavior of the opera industry itself, but also a basic cultural policy of the country, which provides a special opportunity for Yue Opera and gives full play to the influence of reform.
