The main symbol of the opera genre is its vocal melody. Voice melody occupies an important position in opera. It is the main symbol of distinguishing different types of dramas, and it is also the main artistic means to shape characters, express emotions, and express plots. Huangmei Opera main tune The main tune is also called Zhengtu, which is the vocal cavity of the commonly used banc system in Huangmei Opera, including Pingci, Two Lines, Three Lines, Fire Engineering, etc. It is loved by people because of its soft and graceful tune.

We need to trace the source of Huangmei Opera and first of all, we must clarify the source of the voice cavity. The main tune of Huangmei Opera is the commonly used sound cavity of the cylindrical system. After expert research, the originator of the sound cavity of the cylindrical cavity is the blowing cavity.

Blowing is a traditional opera accent. Hui Opera is one of the main voice tunes. The early voice tunes of Hui Opera Kunqu and Yiyang tune in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were influenced by the Western Qin Opera , and a new tune was formed in the Anqing area, so it was named "Anqing Bangzi", also known as " Tongyang tune " and " Shipai tune ". In the 43rd year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Yan Changming wrote " Qin Yun's Episode of Ying Xiaoshu ", which says "The strings flow in the north, and the songs by Anhui people are Tongyang Opera (Shipai Opera, namely blowing)....” Today, Hunan Opera , Nan Opera, and Yunnan Opera are still called "Anqing Diao".

Anqing The source of Bangzi, here we talk about a person, he is Ruan Zihua , who was called "Fengliu Prefect" in the late Ming Dynasty. If it were not for its introduction of Kunqu , Qingyang , and Longdong transferred to Anqing, there would probably be no singular formation in Anqing.

Ruan Zihua (1562-1637), whose courtesy name is Jianzhi, and his nickname is Danyu. He was a native of Oushan, Tongcheng (now Tongyang ), and later moved to Anqing and had a villa (villa) in Huangmei Mountain, Huaining. He passed the Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli (1598), and first served as Raozhou, Jiangxi, and then served as the Promoter of Fuzhou, Fujian. In the 32nd year of Wanli (1604), Ruan Zihua resigned from Fujian and returned to Anqing. He recruited actors and founded a family opera troupe to entertain himself with Kunqu opera and accent. This is the first troupe with evidence in the Wanjiang region. After watching Ruan Zihua's "Sounding and Music Classic" performance, the Ming Dynasty opera critic Pan Zhiheng recorded in his book "Shi Shi Miscellaneous Compositions": "The clouds (Songjiang) are in the beauty of the Six Dynasties, and An Shang (Anqing) is in conflict with it."

Pan Zhiheng's "Shi Shi·Miscellaneous Compositions"

Because the Ruan family has land in Chizhou and other places, Ruan Zihua has visited Chizhou many times, and he has poems "Guiwei (1583) to Chizhou with his nephew Yiding Scholar", "Diaoyutai Taoist Priest in Lingyang Ziming, Chizhou", etc. Therefore, there are many opportunities to come into contact with Qingyang Opera. Since Ruan Zihua has been very fond of opera and music since childhood, Ruan Zihua brought Qingyang Opera back to Anqing and enjoyed himself in the opera troupe he founded. He wrote poems about Qingyang's accent: "I heard that Qingyang returns to Yuguan" and "Qingyang intends to be sad for travelers." In the 47th year of Wanli, Ruan Zihua was promoted to the prefect of Qingyang (the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Shaanxi Provincial Administration and Envoy). Qingyang is commonly known as "Longdong", so Ruan Zihua came into contact with Western Qin Opera (also known as Longdong Opera) and brought Western Qin Opera back to Anqing. Ruan Zihua is a person who likes innovation. He softened Kun Opera , Qingyang Opera, and local folk songs, and used jade guan (ancient musical instruments made of jade, six holes, like flutes), thus forming Anqing Bangzi (also known as Chuan, Tongyang Opera, and Shipai Opera).

"Huaining County Chronicles" records that Ruan Zihua and Huangmeishan

In his later years, Ruan Zihua lived in Huangmeishan, Huaining. He also created a slab-shaped voice cavity based on the blowing cavity. This kind of soft and gentle voice cavity flowed into the folk of Huaining , and was called "Huaiting" and also called " Huangmei Tuning ".

If Ruan Zihua did not introduce Kunqu opera, Qingyang opera, and Longdong opera into Anqing, there would be no blowing chamber; without blowing chamber, there would be no sound chamber of the banclub of Huangmei Opera.Therefore, Ruan Zihua is the well-deserved founder of Huangmeitu.
