Introduction to Sichuan Qingyin

Applicant: Chongqing quyi Troupe

Sichuan Qingyin is one of the varieties of Quyi music in Chongqing and Sichuan. Both of them have a common melody music system, but they also have their own inheritance and development history and tone characteristics.

Sichuan Qingyin was formed in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. In the 1930s and 1950s, Chongqing became the prosperous and spreading place of Sichuan Qingyin. There are many folk artists gathered in Chongqing's land and water wharf, and the exchange and competition promote the prosperity of folk art. Those who make a living by singing and accompanying music form classes and form associations.

Chongqing's "Sichuan Qingyin" tunes can be divided into three categories: minor tunes, major tunes and minor tunes. There are about 200 tunes and tunes. Dadiao has eight major tunes: back, moon, skin, spring, hook, horse, mail and swing. The number of Dadiao tunes is the largest. The music structure, tonal function and singing style of tonality and its tunes are different. The eight tunes are various and complicated in physique. They are often composed of multiple tunes, which are suitable for the performance of storytelling and narrative. In minor tunes, the music sentences are short and single, which can be divided into independent parts, and the singing words are full of lyric flavor; in minor tunes, the music sentences are concise, which are not used alone, but often used in combination to play the role of color.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, a large number of "Qingyin" repertoires and programs have been adapted and created, which show both traditional and innovative tendencies in function and style. Chongqing's "Sichuan Qingyin" major is good at expressing big themes and big weather, and has created its unique Ba Yu fashion.
