Bass instruments are commonly used in today's opera bands. It not only sets off and assists the main instrument, but also plays an important role in rendering the stage atmosphere, enhancing the dramatic effect and enhancing the expressive force of the band. The expert said: "The bass is not good, and the band is crooked;" Weak bass, weak band! " "Without bass, the band sounds completely empty. "Therefore, attaching importance to the use of bass instruments and exploring the accompaniment skills of bass instruments are very beneficial to further play the role of bass instruments, improve the accompaniment efficiency of opera bands and better serve the stage performances.

In the early stage of Peking Opera, bass was not used for vocal accompaniment, and the main accompaniment instruments were what we usually call "three big pieces". According to Zhu Ci in the Qing Dynasty: "The harmony of the moon and the three kinds of harmony makes a wonderful sound, and the laughter changes with the song and dance, which is very sad and erotic." The note also said, "Singing drums is three things." . Vividly described the basic situation of early Peking Opera performances and band accompaniment.

In view of the present situation of Peking Opera bands at that time, the old artists began to consider adding some new musical instruments to enrich themselves. If Qin Qin joined in this way before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it shows that the accompaniment of Beijing Opera band began to pay attention to bass. After the founding of New China, according to the needs of the reform of traditional Chinese opera, the Beijing Opera Band gradually added bass instruments such as zhongruan and Da Ruan. Da Ruan and zhongruan are mainly used for singing accompaniment, which is relatively simple. The jargon is called "Sansui"-Suisheng, Suisheng and Suiqin. In fact, it is an auxiliary instrument belonging to the "three big pieces". Although it can't completely solve the problem of no bass band, objectively, the penetration thickness of background accompaniment improves the monotonous and straight voice of "three segments", the concentration dissolves and the vibration increases, which makes the accompaniment range of the band appropriately widened and enhances the expressive force of the band. In this respect, the acoustic data of 65438+the early 1950s and 65438+the 1960s are more fully reflected.
