Instruments of Mulian Opera

Mulian opera music originally had no strings, no harps, flutes, and flutes. It was all accompanied by percussion instruments such as gongs, drums, cymbals, pioneers, and suonas. Later, silk strings were added to the music to attract the audience. After being introduced to Kaihua in the late Song Dynasty, during long-term performances, it absorbed local folk songs, minor tunes, triangle operas, and was influenced by Hui tune and Taoist music, gradually forming its own unique musical characteristics and performance forms. In the 1960s, The book "Collection of Chinese Operas" published in the early 1990s was called "Enlightened Gaoqiang" and was famous in the western Zhejiang region. At that time, there were Mulian Troupe, Caiyu Troupe, Lao Fulin Troupe, and New Fulin Troupe in Kaihua that specialized in Mu Lian Opera. The last Qing Gu Troupe was not disbanded until 1948. In 1986, five major integrated surveys were launched across the country. The County Culture Bureau assigned Liu Gaohan, Jiang Bingyao and others to conduct a survey on opera in the county. After half a year, they visited Suzhuang, Majin, Yanglin, Changpu, and Chinatown. He and other dozens of villages and towns compiled the "Kaihua Mulian Opera Data Book". When reporting on the five major integration work in Quzhou City, Liu Gaohan distributed the information booklet to the participating experts, and Jiang Bingyao played a recording of an old artist singing, which was well received by the experts.
