In early performances, the characters in the play usually turn their backs to the audience at first, then turn around and appear in the center of Taichung, and then run "Scissorhands" to the rhythm of string accompaniment on the "dashboard", which is the same as the competition venue when walking on stilts. You must run 48 boards before you can formally sing.
The movements, characters and postures of traditional Chinese opera basically retain the prototype of stilt dance: the performance is non-stop. Walking and retreating, while monks or blind people (clowns) constantly gag in the meantime. From 65438 to 0933, Quju spread to Zhoukou in central Henan and Kaifeng in eastern Henan. By the time of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it was popular in southern Shaanxi and northern Hubei.
In the process of spreading, with the enrichment of repertoire, Quju gradually established a complete line of beauty, purity and ugliness of life after absorbing the performing arts of Henan Opera, Beijing Opera, Yuediao Opera and Han Opera. A group of more accomplished actors appeared.
Danxing is the first line of the opera. Because most of the early performances were "three plays" and most of them were Dan characters, there are many famous Dan characters in Henan Quju, and they also have their own characteristics in performing arts. Before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), most roles were played by men. Famous actors include Xu Wenxing, Hu Ding, Li Jinbo, Zhu Tianshui (stage name perfume) and Li Jiuchang.
After the founding of New China, Quju has trained many actresses, such as Zhang Xinfang and Wang Xiuling, who have made great achievements in performing arts. Zhu Tianshui is called "Luoyang fan". His voice is delicate, his timbre is simple and natural, his singing is sweet and his voice is full of emotion. He is famous for his play Blue Bridge Club. Xu Wenxing was good at performing the image of a rural girl and was known as a "living girl" at that time.
Hu Ding (Tsing Yi) is good at portraying characters' personality characteristics to shape characters, and is steady and generous when performing. Good at performing "You Gui Shan" and so on. Zhang Xinfang's performance form is simple and true, and his singing pays attention to articulation and rhyme, and he is good at using the method of "big flash board". His performance "Chen Sanliang Climbing the Hall" successfully shaped the image of Chen Sanliang.
The process of sewing, shaking, biting, sewing, closing the sole and even inadvertently letting the needle stick to the hand is meticulous and extremely realistic, and the coordination of all the rings is also very subtle. Most of the students are young students, and most of them are liberal arts students and empty students when performing, but there are no martial arts students. Since1940s, when the opera began to perform "robe with drama", it has developed a beard. Zhu Xiaosheng has been in the early stage of the development of Henan Quju for six years.
