[Non -legacy of British] Inheritance and promotion of Dunhuang song drama

Li Chunqiu ordered, and the musicians on both sides of the stage opened at the same time. The sounds of Sanxian, Erhu, Flute, Xiaolong and other musical instruments are intertwined, and the entire theater is played in the whole theater, which is very lively. Chen Zhengqing painted his red makeup in white, put on the blue -purple costume, and laughed back and forth before going to the stage. The sister Chen Xiufang beside him was dressed in green costumes, and he coordinated with his younger brother lightly. The two sang the words with Dunhuang dialect while dancing, and their voice was clear, and they performed a wonderful Dunhuang song drama. As the provincial inheritor of the Dunhuang song drama, the siblings have always aimed at "being an excellent traditional cultural inheritor".

The Dunhuang song drama is a folk drama that is popular in the northwestern region of my country. It originated from the Tang and Song dynasties, developed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and formed in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. It is an artistic form that combines eyebrows and Qin cavity art. In 2006, the Dunhuang Music Opera was selected as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.

"The biggest feature of the Dunhuang song drama is its place." Chen Zhengqing said. In his opinion, as a local opera, local accents are the most critical elements. Each word must be sung according to dialects, so that the original sound and local taste of the Dunhuang music opera. The tunes of the opera can be recorded in music scores, and the lines can be recorded with documents, but the authentic Dunhuang dialect is difficult to be recorded in standardization. This is also one of the main difficulties faced in the inheritance of the Dunhuang music opera.

In addition to the tunnel of the accent, the good Dunhuang song player also needs to have the characteristics of many tunes and good throats. Chen Zhengqing introduced that the acting form of Dunhuang song drama is divided into "stage performances" and "stall sitting". The former needs stage and clothing props, while the latter has no these restrictions. If it is a "stall singing", it will encounter the situation of randomly singing with passers -by. Therefore, only by becoming a multi -faceted hand can you calmly cope with various roles and avoid the tunes that only appear on the stage or unable to connect with passers -by.

Inheriting the Dunhuang song drama is the mission of Chen Zhengqing, Chen Xiufang and others. They made the tunes sung by the old artist into a unified score, compiled new words for the old, and realized "old -fashioned new singing"; set up a self -play class to perform everywhere; to push Dunhuang music into campus.

"I love the song drama and love it from my bones." Chen Zhengqing said. The Dunhuang song drama is one of the few entertainment in the growth process of Chen Zhengqing and his generation of Dunhuang people. On weekdays, I call a few musicians to sing and sing together at home; I am improvised in the intersection and the stalls at the intersection and the stalls. The scene constitutes the common memories of a generation, and it has also become a precious spiritual wealth in their hearts.

In recent years, the Dunhuang song opera has successfully received the attention and funding of the National Art Fund. Dunhuang City has also held various activities related to Dunhuang song opera and provided some rehearsal places for some self -relocation. There are reason to believe that with the attention and support of all parties, the Dunhuang songs will be rejuvenated.
