The formation of "One Drama" has greatly enriched the repertoire content of Changde Han Opera: from the establishment of Changde Opera Improvement Committee in 1953 to the establishment of Changde Special Summer Han Opera Excavation and Inheritance Committee in 1962, Changde Cultural Department has successively concentrated old artists and literary and art workers, recorded 450 traditional repertoires, and jointly compiled 46 episodes of Hunan traditional opera repertoire/Changde Han Opera with xiang opera Research Office. Among these plays, only one play performed by the "Four Famous Plays" occupies a considerable proportion, and the classic works in traditional plays are all from one play. The production of these plays is the result of the long-term artistic practice of the major troupes of Changde Han Opera, and it is also the product loved and affirmed by the broad masses of the people.
The appearance of famous actors has created a batch of artistic elites of Changde Han Opera. In the process of creating a drama, the "four famous classes" have also cultivated and promoted their own "famous actors" from generation to generation. For example, before and after liberation, the students in Ruining class were Shao Lu, Zou Qingfu and Wang, and the net students were Luo Wugang and Wang. The scene is Tan Xingchang and Wang Mingqing. The students in Tianyuan class are Ai Hewan Yuan, and the students are Dai Huamei, Cao Lingzhi, Zhong Huafei, Luo Bingtai and Luo Bingyin. For a long time, they not only shine the light of art, but also make great contributions to the inheritance and development of Changde Han Opera. 1952, Fuxiang Li, a former musician, participated in the first opera performance in Hunan, Central South and China. His soprano drama "Fanfan" won awards one after another, and he also won the "Excellent Actor Award". 1956 The first theater performance in Jingzhou Special Zone and Hubei Province. The original Tianyuan artists were Wan Yuan, Wang and Wang Mingfeng.
It inherits the high-pitched tune of Han opera and preserves the cultural heritage: Changde Han opera sings high-pitched tune, Kunqu tune, playing tune and miscellaneous tune. At present, the Han opera in Changde is dominated by playing tune, followed by high-pitched tune. Gaoqiang is an ancient form of traditional Chinese opera singing. The old sayings of "thirty-six tunes (basic tunes), seventy-two tunes (qupai)" and "nine tunes, thirteen tunes, nine tunes and eighteen tunes" are difficult to clean up because a large number of repertoires have been lost and the labels have been forgotten. There are two forms of Gao Qiang, namely "flowing water" (rolling singing) and "help cavity", which is a combination of cavity flow, vocal help cavity and suona help cavity. Their help is closely related to boatmen's trumpets and zhapai's trumpets in Shui Yuan Valley. In addition to the local dialect, there are also local witchcraft, exorcism, fishing drum tune and so on. It can be said that Changde Gaoqiang is a kind of ancient human cultural heritage with local characteristics. In March, 2006, Changde Gaoqiang was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list published by the Ministry of Culture, which laid the foundation for our protection and development of Changde Han Opera. Following the historical development trend, the four famous classes have made great progress in Tanqiang, Changde, which has brought the development of Changde Han Opera into a new stage and made indelible contributions to the inheritance of the art of high-pitched singing. For example, the famous historical figures Ban Ruining and Tianyuan were originally based on high-pitched dramas. In the process of developing tunes, they inherited and innovated a large number of high-pitched operas. In particular, Tianyuan Opera has a long history with Kunqu Opera, and many artists have entered the class one after another, which makes the high-pitched operas such as offering headscarves, picking up gold, cursing items and Li Da Da Da Geng last forever. During the period of 1954, Zeng Huachun and Xiao, the old artists of Huasheng Class, were invited by the government to teach more than 30 high-pitched operas for Yuan Hua Class and Le Tong Class in Changde City, which made great contributions to the excavation and popularization of Changde high-pitched operas.
They exchanged Han opera art and spread Changde culture. The value of art lies in spreading culture. 1905 and 19 16 years, Le Tong performed in Hanyang, Hubei Province twice, which showed the artistic strength of Changde Han Opera, and thus the theory of "Han Class sings again, Changde Class redoes" appeared. At the same time, Le Tong Class learned from many advantages of Hubei Han Opera and began to improve Changde Han Opera in singing and makeup, which was quickly recognized and imitated by its peers. /kloc-in the winter of 0/942, the class also performed jointly with the fifth team of Hubei Han Opera Anti-enemy Propaganda Team in Huangshi, Taoyuan. 19 16, Wenhua class went to Shashi, Hubei Province to perform plays such as Dawa Killing Monks with Jinghe Taishou Class. 1930, the acrobat Wang Shaopeng was invited to teach martial arts in the class, which is the best in the class. From the winter of 1943 to the autumn of 1945, the Mandarin artists who took refuge in Dayong performed together with the Baling Opera "Yue Stage" which stayed here for nearly two spring and autumn periods. 1926 Tianyuan class invited Beijing opera martial arts teachers to rehearse martial arts dramas such as "Wax Museum" and learned a lot of excellent things in Beijing opera. 1939 Tianyuan Class, Xiaotianhua Class and Hubei Han Opera Anti-enemy Propaganda Team formed the "Changli Laojun Performance Group" to conduct anti-Japanese propaganda and fund-raising performances. In the same year, Wenhua Class, Ruining Class and Baojing Drama Research Drama Club also held fund-raising performances. In Taoyuan, the class was changed to the first team of anti-enemy makeup propaganda in Taoyuan County, and Wang starred in the new historical drama Qi Jiguang, rehearsing "The Last Two Bombs", reflecting the northeast War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This is the beginning of the rehearsal of modern drama in Changde Han Opera. In a series of performance practices, the four famous classes not only communicated with other art schools, but also spread the culture of Changde Han Opera, which made Changde Han Opera, an ancient art form, recognized and accepted by the people in the surrounding areas, thus laying the historical and cultural foundation of Changde city.
Famous courses and rural courses complement each other and greatly enrich the cultural life of urban and rural people. The rise of noble families also led to the prosperity of drama. According to statistics, on the eve of liberation, there were more than 20 theaters, theaters and temples in Changde City. These theaters take turns to stage traditional plays every day. Watching plays and pingju have become the mainstream cultural fashion of urbanites, and they are also the spiritual food shared by the rich and the poor. Because the four famous classes are famous, but they can't meet the needs of rural people for drama in time, some rural classes (Jianghu classes) use the banner of famous classes to show their prestige. For example, in the early years of the Republic of China, Ning was born in the north gate of Changde, Xiang Ruining appeared in Taoyuan City from 7 to 15, Haruning 10 to 20 appeared in Hanshou, and Yuan was born in 18. From 28 to 29, there was a "Le Tong Club" in Xiangxi Garden. In 36 years, "Deji Tianyuan" was born in Changde Dede Mountain. In the 1940s, Han Shou also gave birth to operas like "Han" and "Xiang". When New China was founded. Some famous township classes have also become more powerful theatrical troupes. 1952, "Han Tianyuan" merged with Anxiang Tianyuan Class, and "Deji Tianyuan" and "Han Letong" became the main components of Taoyuan Han Opera Troupe and Hanshou Han Opera Troupe respectively.
