historical origin
Pingshuo Opera is one of the predecessors of Fujian Opera, which evolved from the performing art of "piggyback story" (also known as "shoulder shed") popular in eastern Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. It was formed in the early Qing Dynasty and flourished in the years of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. It originated in Pingnan, Fujian Province, and was popular in northeastern Fujian and Fuzhou. It sings in the local dialect and is so vulgar as to speak that it gets its name. According to the survey, 115 villages in Pingnan County have held peace talks since the early Qing Dynasty. From the development of Pingnan Pingju Opera Class, the birthplace of Pingnan Opera in Fujian Province is Pingnan.
Longjieping Workshop was built in Kangxi. Its predecessor was Geng Jun, who was the king of Jingnan who guarded Fujian Province, and Longgang Village in Pingnan, who advocated that Liangrui Brothers planned the "Jianghu Class" introduced during the period of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasties. Zhang Zhishen, a famous playwright in the late Ming Dynasty, became famous at the age of 20 and 30. He was called "a generation of master" of playwrights by later generations, and was born from the Longjie playwright class.
In 1984, at the home of an old artist surnamed Lu in Longyuan Village, Tangkou Township, Pingnan, two boxes of costumes left over from the Longyuanping Workshop in the village during the Qing and Jiaqing Dynasties were found. There were 31 costumes, skirts, mangyang hangings and hats worn by the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing and the last. The embroidery was exquisite and had a history of more than 100 years. This is the largest number of ancient opera costumes found in Fujian since the founding of New China, with a clear chronological record.
"Dongshan Hill, Peace Workshop, Taipei Backdoor Hill, Husband to play, women Guantianshan, played in June 4, and August 3." Local traditional folk songs can be seen in Pingnanping opera. From the end of Guangxu period in Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, Pingjiao Opera began to combine with Confucian Opera and Jianghu Opera, commonly known as "Three-in-one Sound", to form the rudiment of Fujian Opera today.
Confucian opera and Jianghu opera have ceased to exist. Only the music singing tone remains in Fujian opera, while Pinghua opera still remains in Pingnan in an independent form. Restricted by various factors, in the 1980s, Pingjiao Opera was basically suspended. Pingnan began to carry out the rescue and excavation work of Pingnan opera art, and made Pingnan opera shine with new light. Pingnanping Lecture has been listed in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list recommended by the Ministry of Culture of China.
