1. Overview of the historical development of Fujian Opera
1. Brief description Fujian Opera, also known as Fuzhou Opera, is the only existing opera that is sung and recited in Fuzhou dialect. It is popular in central and Fujian Eastern and northern Fujian regions, and spread to Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Yiyang tune was introduced to central Fujian and gradually merged with local dialect minors to form Jianghu tune. Later, the Jianghu troupe singing Jianghu tune and the Pingyang troupe, which mainly sang Jianghu tune harmony, appeared. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Ping Lecture Troupe merged with the Lao Lao Troupe, which sang Kun Opera, Hui opera and other foreign tunes, and the Fuzhou Rulin Troupe, which sang Confucian opera, and eventually formed Fujian Opera.
After the Revolution of 1911, Fujian opera entered a period of prosperity, with the emergence of many troupes and the "Four Famous Dancers" such as Zheng Yizou, Zeng Yuanfan, Xue Liangfan, and Ma Difan, known as "Fujian Opera Mei Lanfang". 2. History In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1609), Cao Xue, who had been engaged in politics for many years and held important positions such as Nanjing Household Doctor, Sichuan Political Envoy, Guangxi Political Envoy, Jiangxi Chief Envoy, and Zhejiang Envoy, refused to use the treasury of the royal family. He built a feudal residence privately and was dismissed from his post and sent back to his hometown.
When he was living in Hongtang Township in the western suburbs of Fuzhou, he organized the maidservants in the mansion to run the Cao family class, inviting Confucian scholars and scholars to watch and entertain. Later generations called it the "Confucianism class", which was the earliest Fujian opera predecessor. Cao Xue is proficient in rhythm and melodies, and has created a new tune suitable for Fuzhou dialect singing.
The literati at that time commented on this new tune as: "The tune is bent between flowers", "The green pipes are used to tune the phoenix", and "The new Yuefu warbler's throat warbles", which shows the beauty of the tune. Later, Fujian opera artists called it "douqiang".
After the Qing troops entered the pass, Cao Xue hanged himself and died for his country. The old scenes of singing, singing, and celebrities gathering in the Cao Mansion can no longer be seen. The Confucian Academy has been silent for a long time.
At the same time, Jiangxi's Yiyang tune was also widely spread among the people in Fujian. Because the troupe traveled to villages and villages for many years to perform mobile performances, it was called "Jianghu Opera" and the lyrics were all sung in "local Mandarin". Musical tunes are collectively called "Jianghu tunes". It "does not use palace tunes" and is good at "misusing local dialects". It has a large number of repertoires based on historical stories and family marriages. The traditional repertoire it often performs is commonly known as "Jianghu Thirty-Six Bentou", also known as "Seven Doubles and Eights". "Twenty-one Miscellaneous Gifts", mainly including "Double Nail Punishment", "Double Marquis", "Double Rescue", "Double Number One Scholar", "Gift of Pagoda", "Gift of Baochai", "Gift of White Fan", "Gift of Gold" "Yin Hui", "Sunflower Planting", "Liao Ke Mountain", "Wollongong", "Sanguantang", "Yuanyang Pa", etc.
In particular, the high-stage performing arts and techniques of Jianghu opera, as well as front-stage singing, back-stage singing, gong and drum accompaniment, and high-pitched and exciting noisy scenes, are particularly suitable for the viewing habits of farmers and craftsmen in urban, rural, and rural areas. Therefore, It gradually took root among the people. Jianghu opera and Confucian opera, which was favored by local officials, became a sharp contrast between elegance and vulgarity.
Since Bai Jun, a Jianghu opera singer, speaks native Mandarin, it was restricted in spreading in Fuzhou dialect areas and therefore could not develop. Therefore, a kind of "Pingshuo opera" sung purely in Fuzhou dialect came into being. . The rise of Pingdao opera promoted the revival of Confucian opera.
The elders of Hongtang Township, the original birthplace of Confucian opera, recalled the grand performance of the Shicangyuan Confucian troupe in the Japanese countryside in the past, so they took advantage of the opportunity to perform in Pudu Rewarding Gods and interacted with drama lovers in the countryside. The Zhenren Temple near the old site of Shicangyuan selected farmers' children and inherited the Cao family's tradition. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1851-1861), the first "Hongtang Scholars Class" named after the township was established. It has been silent for two hundred years. The Confucian drama of the past few years has been revived. The troupe initially performed specifically for Pudu. The first performance of the show "Water Overflowing Jinshan" was set up on the stage at Jinshan Temple on the bank of the Min River, which naturally combined the plot content with the performance environment, creating an artistic effect of blending scenes. The result was an instant hit, and neighboring villages began to The invitation made the early Cao family's family classes move from deep residences to the private sector. This was a great breakthrough for Confucian opera.
The plays performed during the "Hongtang Scholars Opera" period include "The Number One Scholar Worships the Pagoda", "Women's Skeleton", "Farewell in Changting", "The Story of Willow Shade", "Yu Tang Chun", etc., all of which have become Later, the repertoire of Fujian opera.
One advantage of Confucian opera is that it attracts the attention of a large number of literati.
So when Confucian opera revived, the retired celebrity Guo Baiyin and others compiled the Confucian opera "Purple Jade Hairpin" based on "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" in "Tangren Shuohui". Since then, Confucian opera, as an independent vocal drama, has entered a period of development and maturity.
During the Tongzhi period (1862-1874), "Chencuo Scholars Class", "Tangbian Scholars Class", "Zhuhu Scholars Class", and "Pandunru Class" appeared in the suburbs of Fuzhou. There are more than ten amateur scholars classes, including the "Lin Class" and the "Yixu Scholars Class", all of which take the name of their hometown as their class names. In the first year of Guangxu (1875), Confucian troupes began to develop from rural areas to towns, and professional theater troupes emerged.
The "Zui Chunyuan" class planned and organized by Lu Shisun took the lead in taking the banner of reform, adopted subsidies, openly recruited students from the public, and invited teachers to learn and teach "douqiang" opera. At that time, people from all over the city and countryside came to hire the troupe to perform in order to thank God and fulfill their wishes, to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, and to perform during seasonal festivals.
At this time, the number of Confucian opera actors has also grown from the original seven (commonly known as the "Seven Sons Troupe") to 20. In addition to the past "Purple Jade Hairpin", "Pagoda Worship" and other repertoire, , and also added "Selling Paintings", "Delivering Cambodians", "Peach Blossom Village", etc. After Lu Shisun died of illness, the "Zui Chun Yuan" Confucian Academy class ceased performing.
Gao Xifu, the original screenwriter and director of the class, decided to regroup and start a new venture. On the one hand, he recruited some of the artists who had disbanded, and on the other hand, he personally selected the main actors, such as Huadan Sheng Yuhuan, niche Cui Chuanling, clown Wu Youliang, etc., and added many supporting actors to form a new class, named "Drive the Clouds" .
The class premiered at the Gulou Town God's Temple in Fuzhou, starring Sheng Yuhuan in the opening play "The Mace", which was a success. The reputation of "Driving the Clouds" grew rapidly, and there was a steady stream of theater reservations, which aroused the admiration of peers. As a result, three more Confucian classes appeared in Fuzhou: "Da Yunxiao", "Saiyue Palace" and "Qingxianyuan".
In less than three years, "Fenglinqi", "Pu Yunxiao", "Fang Taoyuan", "Qingyuntian", "Leqiongtian", "Fang Nishang", Classes such as "Zheng Tianran" and the previous four classes were collectively called the "Thirteen Scholars Class", which brought Confucian Opera to its heyday in history. During this period, Confucian opera spread from Fuzhou to Changle, Fuqing, Yongtai, Gutian, Minqing and other counties. In addition to the "Thirteen Confucian Classes" in Fuzhou city, "Bu Yunxiao" and "Haiyan Pavilion" were added. , "Song Stage", "Dachuntai", "New Nature". 2. The origin of Fujian Opera
