Brief introduction of xiaorehun

Applicant: Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province

Changzhou Xiaore Hun is a unique folk art form of rap performance based on Changzhou local voice and folk tunes, which is widely popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has a history of more than 150 years. Because most of the traditional programs allege the dark phenomenon of the society at that time, in order to avoid trouble and persecution, the artists named it "little hot faint".

Changzhou's performance style is mainly singing and speaking. The content of the program should be vivid and humorous, and the words should be funny and easy to understand. Most of the singing tunes are familiar to local people, such as Ligao tangdiao, Qingnian tune, liuqingniang tune, xuanjuan tune, xiaofangniu tune, Huagu tune, etc. some of the singing tunes from Changzhou tanhuang tune are used to match words. Accompanied by gongs and bamboo boards. Because it originated from the selling of pear paste candy (a kind of boiled candy that can clear away heat and remove phlegm), artists in the old days sold pear paste candy and performed at the same time. The general performance procedures are: opening, selling, singing, selling sugar, singing and seeing off. Later, there were high stage performances, and most of them used tools to sell pear paste sugar as performance props.

Changzhou Xiaore Hun not only has its own unique artistic value, but also is an important breeding mother of Southern Jiangsu farce, Changzhou Daoqing and monologue. However, its development in modern times has encountered great difficulties, the sharp reduction of artists, the shrinking performance market, the loss of traditional programs, in urgent need of rescue and protection.
