Inherit the status quo
The lack of inheritance subject is the biggest dilemma of local opera culture inheritance. Under the impact of the market tide, the inheritors of local opera culture are facing the dilemma of loss, alienation and complete extinction, and the ultimate extinction of the inheritors will mean the end of local opera culture. After the reform and opening up, stimulated by increasingly rich material conditions, people's values have become increasingly diverse. The principle of money first urges people to go out of mountain villages to pursue material benefits, and the prevalence of the tide of working diverts a large part of young labor.
These people came into contact with the outside world earlier and were greatly influenced by the outside world. Most of them are unwilling to learn local opera performances from old artists for economic purposes. Local opera culture is gradually losing its market and carrier, while family members and young people as inheritors no longer bear the original inheritance function. The change and disappearance of inheritors means the ultimate demise of the cultural materials they carry. The inheritors of local opera culture generally have low education level, uneven distribution of age groups, and serious aging of the team, facing the embarrassment of lack of successors.
