Introduction to Lu Opera:

Applicant: Binzhou City, Shandong Province

Binzhou City, Shandong Province is close to the Bohai Sea, formerly known as "Huimin area". Around 1870, natural disasters continued frequently in northern Shandong. Some farmers tried to survive by playing local folk songs and folk stories. Because of the earliest performance of the little play "Wang Xiaozhuo Jiao", the donkey riding by "two girls" is a donkey shaped prop, which is commonly known as "donkey play" and later renamed "Lv play". Around 1940, the Bohai base was established, and the script of Lv Opera "shuangxunfu" was published in Bohai daily. The name of Lv Opera has been widely spread up to now.

Lu opera music, based on "Er ban" and "Si Ping" as the basic plate, and then created "anti Si Ping", "Allegro" and other plate, music melody is simple, plain and simple. Lu opera's creation originates from life, plays people and things in life, and even directly uses the original actions of life, which has a strong local flavor.
