Commonly known as Luantan, also known as Zhou Pu Bangzi and Shanshan Bangzi, today they are collectively called Pu Opera, which is named after its origin in Xupu Prefecture (now yongji city). According to many unearthed drama cultural relics and relevant data records, Pu Opera originated in Song Dynasty, which started with folk songs rap in mountainous areas and Shaanxi, first evolved into a folk opera, and then accepted the artistic achievements of ancient operas on the basis of folk operas, and gradually developed into a big drama. By the mid-Ming Dynasty, it had evolved into "chaotic drama" and "bangzi tune", becoming an independent and complete drama. Pu Opera is mainly popular in the triangle of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, as far away as Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei and other provinces. Since the Republic of China, Pu Opera Troupe has been established in Xi, Yan 'an and Yanchang in Shaanxi Province, Lingbao and Lushi in Henan Province and Dingxi in Gansu Province. During Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Zhou Pu set up the Boxer Rebellion to perform. In the Qing Dynasty, Jiaqing had "Yongle Class" and Xianfeng had "Sanyiwaban". At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were more than 20 Puju clubs in the whole region. At the same time, a number of performing artists, such as Yuan (stage name), Wang Lai (stage name Deng), Qi Yanzi (stage name Yanzihong), Yun (stage name Bai Caixin), Lu Changlin (stage name 800 Black), Sun Guangsheng, Feng Anwa, have emerged, which has promoted the development of Pu Opera. Lu Nan Opera is mainly composed of 24 books in traditional Chinese, English and Chinese, with few lyrics and elegant words, and most of them win with clever plots and elegant styles. West Road Opera is rough and bold, emphasizing singing skills and its style is hot. By the end of the 1930s, especially after the appearance of five famous actors, Yan Fengchun, Wang Xiulan, Zhang Qingkui, Xiao Yuelai and Yang Hushan, the art of Pu Opera had been further developed and improved, and the characteristics of West Road Opera and South Road Opera gradually merged into one, which made Pu Opera have both a passionate and elegant side, forming a feeling of expressing passion and sadness, with heroic and unrestrained characteristics. The roles of Pu Opera are Xu Sheng, Lao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, Zheng Dan (Tsing Yi), Xiao Dan, Lao Dan, Dajing, Erjing and Clown. Puju's stunts are famous all over the country. Tricks such as twisting the mouth, flapping wings, wings, micro-wings (throwing hair), whips, chairs, fans, stilts, etc. are widely used for reference by other operas, such as paper plays and colorful plays. It is also very exquisite and wonderful. There are more than 500 kinds of traditional dramas, including this drama and the passbook drama. In 1950s and 1960s, the adapted plays included Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea, Zhao's Orphan and Dou E's Injustice (filming has been completed). In recent years, traditional plays have been adapted, such as The West Chamber, Guan Gong and Shao Chan, River of Yin and Yang, Seeing the Girl Off and Su San's Deduction. In addition to the regional Pu Opera Troupe, professional performance groups include yongji city Pu Opera Troupe and Ruicheng Yellow River Pu Opera Troupe, including lo County (city) Pu Opera Troupe. In addition to the late (Xiao Dan), Yan Fengchun (Xu Sheng), Yang (Er Jing), Yang Hushan (Er Jing) and Xiao Yuelai (Xiao Sheng), the main actors now active on the stage are Zhang Bao (Xu Sheng), Wu Junying (Xiao Dan), Xue Bianjing (Xiao Dan and boudoir Dan, Beijing Opera Blues) and Wang Yihua (Xiao Sheng).

Introduction to Pu Opera Plate (Excerpt from Season)
There are seven kinds of Pu Opera boards: [flexible board], [duality], [compactness], [flapping], [flowing water], [partition], [rolling white], and [big guide board], [guide board], [biting guide board], [feeding board], [wiping board], [folding board],.
[Adagio]
Adagio is one of the main forms of singing in Pu Opera. A board with three eyes, the notation is 4/4 beats, and the word case is a cross sentence. In the past, Adagio sang four, six and eight sentences, but now it sings two or three sentences about sex. Because [Adagio] can't set the board by itself, it is often used in conjunction with [Sex] at a speed of 40 to 80 beats per minute. It is characterized by fewer words and more cavities, strong melody, generous extensibility, euphemism and changeability, stable rhythm, long cavity amplitude, more sounds but fewer words, and rich "coloratura". Therefore, he is good at expressing emotions, suitable for expressing plots and expounding psychological changes of characters. Mostly used for health preservation and tonic. Clean lines and ugly lines are not needed.
[Duality]
[Sex], the core plate in the singing of Pu Opera. Open your eyes and close them. The notation is 2/4 beats, sometimes it is often inserted as 1/4 beats because of the need to emphasize changes, and the speed is about 60 to 80 beats per minute. There are two kinds of figures of speech: cross sentences and seven sentences. In order to meet the needs of expression, it can also be flexibly changed, such as 334, 343, 735 (there seems to be a clerical error and doubt) or 223. It can pick up and put down the board by itself, it can also become another board, and it can also sing with other board organizations. It has a strong performance function, which is characterized by smooth melody, flexible rhythm and clear strength. It can accommodate many words and is good at closely combining the same sound. It can be both narrative and lyrical, which can express cheerful and warm feelings, as well as lingering, deep or sad feelings. Life, Dan, essence and ugliness are all acceptable.
[compactness]
Compact duality, a plate derived from duality. It is the result of doubling the sex board. The notation is 1/4 beats, and the speed is about 80 to 120 beats per minute. When the word grid is [sex] or [flip], it becomes [running water] or [partition board]. If you are longer than the cheerful mood in the border county, you can express high-pitched, intense or sad feelings if you use different singing methods. Life, Dan, essence and ugliness are all acceptable.
[slap]
Liaoban is also a plate type derived from Duality. With a board and no eyes, the notation is 1/4 beats, and the speed is about 60 to 100 beats per minute. The word lattice is the same as [dual]. He can't play the board himself, and often borrows the upper sentence of [dual] or the first sentence of [dual] to become [teasing board], so he is often combined with [dual] and [compact]. It can be divided into [empty clappers] and [clappers]. The former is slow, and the dissonance interval of the lyrics, the length and elasticity of the cavity are very flexible. 【】 Slap 】 The speech speed is slightly faster, the pronunciation is symmetrical, the language is strong, and it is almost rap. Both of them are good at narration.
[running water]
"Running Water" is one of the fastest vocals in Pu Opera. It is usually used to render a plate with a compact atmosphere. Without eyes, the notation is 1/4 beats, and the word case is mainly cross-sentence and seven sentences, with five, three and six sentences in the middle. The board can rise and fall by itself, or it can be connected by 【 duality 】 and 【 tightness 】, and then transferred to 【 partition 】 or other boards. Singing can be divided into [big water], [small water] [pull water], [sentence], [top book] and other forms. [Dashui] Express heroic, majestic and generous feelings with large bronze wares; [Small Flowing Water] The use of small bronzes gives people a feeling of lightness, liveliness and chic, showing more joy and cheerful feelings. [running water], [drinking field] (why didn't it mention it? ) sing tightly and slowly. [Standing Sentences] and [Top Book] have fast speech speed, flexible word form, strong rhythm and slow rhythm, and often express feelings that stimulate nerves, which sounds like quarreling back. When this kind of plate can only be felt in a aria, it shows that the drama conflict has reached a climax and the emotions of the characters have reached a level of intense to extreme excitement. [Running Water] is characterized by rich language features and recitation, free rhythm, fast or slow, loose or tight, full-board or scattered singing. Because of this, it can reflect strong passion in strong narrative, and then send out strong melody beauty. It can be used in all industries.
[partition]
[Partition], a form with no board and no eyes, with the notation of "meter" and the lattice of seven sentences and cross sentences. Because of the different uses of large and small bronzes, there are two kinds: large partition and small partition, which can be lifted and lowered by themselves, combined with other plates, often connected with running water up and down, and can also be transferred to plates such as "sex", so there is great flexibility in speed and cavity height. It is good at expressing feelings of sadness, injury or generosity and anger, and can be used in all walks of life.
[Rolling white]
"Rolling white", also known as "rolling board", has a board and no eyes, and is annotated as "meter". It can be divided into rhythmic [white rolling] and blank [white rolling]. The rhyme [rolling white] is symmetrical with the upper and lower sentences, and the blank lyrics [rolling white] have no certain meter, which can be more or less, longer or shorter. According to the needs of the plot and the different uses of large and small bronzes, it can be divided into [big white roll] and [small white roll]. Oh, the board can rise and fall by itself, or it can be combined with other boards. He is good at expressing sadness, crying and plaintive feelings. All transactions can be used, except that there is no [blank] clean line.
In addition to the above seven main boards, there are more than ten kinds of auxiliary boards, such as large guide board, guide board, large feeding board, small feeding board, small plastering board, off-board, false partition board and dry smashing. These plates cannot exist independently, and they are all attached to the main board.
There is a set of convergence rules and methods when the changes of Pu Opera plates are connected with each other. In terms of speed and rhythm, generally follow the slow, medium, fast, scattered, or scattered, slow, medium and fast. There are "loose board", "flexible board", "dual", "tight dual", "swinging board", "flowing water", "partition" and "rolling white" alternately.
In Pu Opera, the board is called "blackboard" and the eyes are called "red board". Eyes up and down, commonly known as "black and red board." [Adagio] Singing in the eye (second beat); [Sex] starts from the second beat, [sex], [slap] and [running water] starts from the second half beat. However, the stops of various discs must be on the disc (strong beat).

According to the discipline, the above text is taken from the preface of "Make the Flowers of Pu Opera's Singing Perfectly Fragrant", a book "Selected Excellent Singing of Pu Opera" (published by China Drama Publishing House, edited by Du and Chang Yuanfa). Most of the lyrics in the appendix only copy the sentences before and after the turn, and most of the omitted lyrics and related aria can be found from Liangqing Tea House and Puju Art Troupe. The aria of a few young actors is very common in the market and can be bought. Lyrics are usually provided, so they are no longer entered. Also, because many of the vocals in Selected Works of Excellent Vocal Performances of Pu Opera are not marked with plates, there are not many famous vocals, and I am not sure about the plates of Pu Opera, so there are many common excellent vocals that cannot be copied to you. I hope you can add some, and I hope you can correct the mistakes in the lyrics in time after you find them (which means I added some aria) to avoid misunderstanding.
The popularity and development of Pu Opera in northern Shaanxi —— Pu Opera art deeply loved by Yan 'an people
A surging river divides the land of Qin Jin in two, but this can't stop the cultural exchange and infiltration between the two provinces. Zhou Pu Bangzi in southern Shaanxi flew to northern Shaanxi like wings. People here have loved Shaanxi Opera for generations, but they also have deep feelings for their sister art Pu Opera. In the past century, more than half of the three counties and cities in Yan 'an/Kloc-0 have established Pu Opera performance groups. This wonderful flower in the art garden has already shown its elegance on the land of 36,000 square kilometers in Yan 'an. Pu Opera, affectionately called "East Road" by the local people, fascinated and influenced many Yan 'an people! It has played an important role in enriching and invigorating people's cultural life and influencing and promoting the prosperity and development of culture and art in Yan 'an.
1. The development of Pu Opera in Yan 'an area
With regard to the history of Yan 'an Pu Opera, only from some scattered materials and sporadic interviews, the development of Yan 'an Pu Opera has roughly experienced three periods:
Initial stage 1. 1 private troupe.
As early as the beginning of this century, in Shunning Town, Baoan County (now Zhidan County), there was a man named Ren Daming who set up the first private Pu Opera Troupe. Most of the actors are local Shanxi farmers and Pu Opera artists hired from the south of Shanxi. They often perform the traditional operas "My Beauty Case" and "Xue Gang's Anti-Tang Dynasty" of Pu Opera in Baoan, Ansai and Wuqi counties, which are deeply loved by the masses. Almost at the same time, in Yan 'an County (now Yan 'an City), there was a private Pu Opera Troupe named Snowflake Troupe all the year round, and there was an actor named "Silver Circle" Yang Chunyan. Performances include Jade Tiger Falling, Meeting Jin Meng, My Beauty Case, Spring and Autumn Competition, etc. Troupe often toured in Fuxian, Luochuan, Huangling and other counties, which was quite influential in south-central Yan 'an. At that time, in the mountainous area of northern Shaanxi, there was a lack of drama art, and the spiritual and cultural life of the masses was very poor. It was a great pleasure for ordinary people to see such dramas. 1947, Hu Zongnan invaded Yan 'an, the holy land of revolution, and Ren Daming and Yang Troupe were dissolved.
1.2 The heyday of Pu Opera Troupe.
1948 in less than three or four years after the recovery of Yan' an, the people's governments of Yan' an, Zhidan, Yanchang, Yichuan and other counties successively took over the original private theatrical troupes in their counties, and on this basis, they established the "official" county people's Pu Opera Troupe respectively. These troupes (including the so-called "Zhao Maonao Black Troupe" which toured Ansai, Ganquan and Yan 'an around the 1960s) have traveled all over northern Shaanxi, and some have performed in Ningxia, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia for many times. Wherever he goes, he is welcomed by the masses. This period can be called the "golden age" of Pu Opera in Yan 'an area. Among the masses in most counties, Pu Opera has basically reached popularity. During this period, a number of well-known outstanding actors appeared on the stage of Pu Opera in Yan 'an area, which won the audience's love and further expanded the influence of Pu Opera among the masses. Their names are still recited by people today. For example, Zheng Dan Yang Chunyan (Yang) of Pu Opera Troupe in Yan 'an County in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China can be described as "well known" in Yan 'an area. When the troupe went there, the fans first asked, "Is Yuan Yin there?" As long as there are Yuan Yin's plays, the masses are always eager to watch them. Only by watching his play can they be considered addicted to it. Another example is Li Side, the late head of the Pu Opera Troupe in Yichuan County, a young student and an actor with a beard. At the age of thirteen, he entered the Amateur Troupe in Jishan County, Shanxi Province, and was recruited as an actor by Yichuan County from 65438 to 0952. Because of his intelligent talent, solid young worker, mellow voice and handsome appearance, more than a dozen roles he has played are vivid and lifelike. In particular, Zhou Ren in Zhou Ren Hui Fu and Xu Ce in Xue Gang Anti-Tang Dynasty are vivid, fascinating and of high aesthetic value. Although his stage career was only over ten years, he became famous in the Sanjin period. He is not only praised as "contemporary Yan Fengchun" by the audience, but also praised by the famous playwright Sumo Yiping and Wang Xiulan, the performing artist of Pu Opera. He was invited to Shanxi to play with him many times. There is also "Painting Hanging in the Vatican Palace" and "Exploring the Shadow Mountain" starring the Pu Opera of Yanchang County, which is the most popular "trump card" of the troupe. The audience was full of praise for "I'd rather watch plum blossoms than drink two or two good wines". At the 1960 Qin Opera Concert, Song Rose won the first performance prize for her role of Liu Jinchan in Exploring the Yinshan Mountain. Later, he was awarded the honorary title of "Shaanxi Model Worker".
1.3 "Turn off the machine and turn around" at low tide.
From the three years when the national economy was temporarily difficult in the early 1960s to the eve of the "Cultural Revolution", except Yichuan County, the Pu Opera Troupes in all counties dismounted and turned to Shaanxi Opera. However, at this time when "the mountain is at the end of its tether", a short climax of "a bright future" appeared. This is the Pu Opera Troupe in Ganquan County, which was established after the Cultural Revolution. The troupe has a huge cast, with a number of top performers with high attainments such as Yao Jianfang (Xu Sheng), Wang Guixiang (Xiao Sheng, wudan) and Wang Caiyun (Qingyi, Hua Dan), which has caused a strong sensation in Yan 'an area and even the ancient city Xi. For foreigners, it is a great pity that they didn't see the performances of Yao Jianfang and Wang Guixiang when they went to Ganquan County. In July, 1980, at the invitation of Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Shaanxi Branch of Chinese Dramatists Association, the Puju Opera Troupe of Ganquan County performed in An. The first anti-soup, starring, became an instant hit. When it was time to get a 10% discount on the trip to the city, Yao gave full play to the walking, running, jumping, falling, waiting for work, hat, wings and robes of the students of Lao Pu Opera. He performed more than ten performances in a row, and the performances were full, which won unanimous praise from the audience and cultural experts, and was praised by celebrities such as Mo and Li Youbai. Since the Pu Opera Troupe led by the famous master of Pu Opera in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression returned to Jin, the audience of Pu Opera in Lai 'an for more than 30 years rarely had the opportunity to enjoy Pu Opera. This time, when they saw the wonderful performance of the Pu Opera Troupe in Ganquan County, they feasted their eyes. be in heaven set off a whirlwind of Pu Opera and wrote a glorious page for the history of Pu Opera in Yan 'an. However, in the late 1980s, under the grim situation that the performance market of Yan 'an Theater was once weak, Ganquanpu Opera Troupe was unsustainable and forced to close down. Therefore, only one Pu Opera Troupe in Yichuan County stayed in Yan 'an.
2. Analysis of the current situation
There are many reasons for the gradual decline of Yan 'an Pu Opera Troupe, including socio-economic factors and management problems. From the audience's point of view, although in Yan 'an area, it faces Shanxi across the river. The masses have always loved watching Pu Opera, especially the rural elderly. However, Shaanxi is the hometown of Shaanxi opera. After all, most people love to watch it. In addition, the old audience of Pu Opera is decreasing day by day, and many young people who are used to listening to pop songs are not interested in it. Once the troupe loses its audience, it loses its meaning of existence. First of all, this is the audience's "dating" problem. As far as the troupe itself is concerned, the system reform is not deep, the management is not perfect, the enthusiasm of the cast members is not fully mobilized, there are few famous actors, the performance quality is poor, the financial situation is tight, the local finance can't make ends meet, and life is sad. That is another matter. Judging from the consciousness of some superior leaders, the depression and decline of drama is not to find a way out from the reform, but to "get rid of the burden." So is the so-called "self-destruction" and "life and death". The author believes that this is an important reason for the disintegration of some county-level troupes.
Look forward
Can Pu Opera re-emerge in Yan 'an area? The answer is yes. The people in Yan 'an will never forget this excellent drama, and their habit and hobby of appreciating Pu Opera will never die. With the in-depth development of the construction of two civilizations in the whole region, the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, and the growing demand for spiritual life, the single Shaanxi opera is far from satisfying their desire for drama art, and it is expected that Pu Opera art will be intoxicated like its predecessors. Just like the revival of Shaanxi Opera, the art of Pu Opera will reappear in Yan 'an.
Pu Opera needs a master-Gai (Author: Ji)
Gai is a senior Pu Opera artist. Formerly known as Kang, a native of Xiangfen County, was later adopted by a family in Wanrong County and renamed as. I have performed in Xiaxian Pu Opera Troupe for a long time, and now people over 40 in Xiaxian are afraid that they all know "noisy nose". Because Hiroshi Gaitian's speech is ugly, it looks stuffy, which is called "noisy nose" locally. Old artists of Pu Opera often call him that behind his back.
Gaitianhong's artistic achievements are extremely high, especially the young talents are solid, both civil and military, and his singing and acting skills are excellent. It is no exaggeration to call it Taishan Beidou. The literary plays that are often performed include Yanta Temple, Lu Hua, Eight-legged Dress, Anti-Xuzhou, Catch and Release Cao Cao, Famen Temple, Revenge, Killing the Temple and so on. Martial arts dramas include Huai Touguan, Ning Wuguan, Hui, Huang Forced Palace and so on. Similar to the later A and B angles, you can undertake all your own scenes. In the past, if they were invited to perform in temple fairs or villages and towns, they were likely to take the role of the person in charge. Generally, they will order the famous dramas of this class, and occasionally they will make things difficult and point out the unpopular dramas. Even if the actor is not good at it, he must be able to bear it. Without one or two hundred plays, they can't be the masters of the big class. Hiroshi Gaitian enjoyed a high reputation in the old society. If he doesn't go to a performance, the audience will say, "The name is right, it's Hiroshi Gaitian!" " . Gai's literary play is Yanta Temple. Yanta Temple has a heavy singing voice and has been lost for many years. The play has a long aria from the Tang Dynasty on the rostrum. The play has beautiful and smooth singing, solid and sticky porcelain and full of appeal. In particular, the body movements are very beautiful in place, and the natural ups and downs of raising hands, moving feet, stroking whiskers, crossing legs and swinging heads are all within the drums. The lyrics of this aria are also very rich, each time representing the ancient times and representing different ancient people. When general Zhao was compared with the ancients on the rostrum, he was better than Zhao Yun once, Guan Yu next time and Wu Yuan next time. For example, "Zhao, the person I am facing, has the ratio of (yes, [read: land, the same below]) to the military and to other countries [read: return, the same below]. There is also "Zhao Zongbing who flashed on our dynasty. I compared the military to Zhao Zilong in the Three Kingdoms, and General Changbanpo (ah, dragging his mouth) killed Cao Bing seven times. Cao Cao's tutai gave orders, and Zhang He gouged out the horse pit. At that time, the general didn't defend himself, and even people and horses fell into the pit. Zhang He asked for a fork. "
