History and culture

Chengmen street has a long history and strong cultural characteristics. Wenqu opera, commonly known as "Quzi" and "Wenci diaoer", was popular in the Qing Dynasty. After imitating the branch and performance of Han Opera, absorbing its music and performing on stage with gongs and drums, it gradually became a kind of opera. In 1981, the dictionary of Chinese opera quyi was published and recognized as "Wenqu opera". The tunes include Wenci, nanci, siban, Qiujiang, Pingban and other common tunes. The melody is beautiful and fresh, the tone is gentle and deep, and the accompaniment strives to render the local flavor. In the early stage of Daobai, Putonghua was used, while in the later stage, modern drama was processed and refined with Jiujiang Jianghuai Mandarin. Ancient costume drama was divided into Dabai and Xiaobai, Dabai being opera rhyme and Xiaobai being Jiujiang dialect, which made it more localized.

The original name of Tea Picking Opera is "tea lantern opera", commonly known as "tea opera", which is called "Tea Picking Opera" after entering the form of half class. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, it was widely spread in the territory and counties under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang Prefecture. Therefore, Jiangxi volume of Chinese opera annals was named Jiujiang Tea Picking Opera. There are two schools of music, Nanhe and Beihe. The Tea Picking Opera in the county belongs to Nanhe school. The tune can be divided into five categories: plate tune, coloratura tune, Han tune and miscellaneous tune. During the performance, instead of using silk and bamboo instruments, the percussionists sit in front of the sky in Taichung. The performers sing in front of percussion instruments, and the people behind the stage help. Later, influenced by Huangmei Opera and other operas, some troupes moved percussion music to the side of the stage. The traditional plays include "the story of gaojingcheng", "the story of Xiangzhu", "the story of Bai fan" and "the story of Wang's persuading husband" and "the story of Wu Jin".

Farmers are used to singing while working in the fields, especially in Yongquan and Xintang. The scale belongs to the pentatonic mode. The melody is high pitched, long, simple and unrestrained. The lyrics can be naturally formed into a set of songs according to the labor activity procedures, such as "kaiyangmen", "huoma", "Xima", "Qianhao", "Xiaohao", etc.
