The characteristics of local operas are mainly manifested in two aspects: singing and chanting. The stage language of Gao 'an tea-picking opera is based on Gao 'an dialect, which requires actors not only to be artistic dialects when speaking in plain English, but more importantly, to organically combine dialects with the singing of tea-picking opera, so as to make it more local and have the charm of opera. In this respect, some young actors are still lacking. Except for the half-baked Gao 'an dialect, the pronunciation of singing is basically Mandarin, singing like a traditional opera, which is far from the audience's appreciation expectations.

According to the research results of experts, the tone characteristics of Gao 'an dialect are "tone sandhi". In traditional opera singing, "tone sandhi" not only has a wider range, but also has strong local characteristics of Gao 'an. Why not?

Artistic dialects are easy to understand and interesting. In See Sister on April 9th, Yin Xin pours tea for April 9th, saying "Tea (ca) is coming", and April 9th deliberately hears it as "Snake (sa) is coming". Rhyme is close to homophone, audio-visual confusion, a "teasing" burden, causing a burst of laughter from the audience. For another example, while drinking tea, Jiu Si responded to Yin Xin's concern and exhortation, "Eat slowly (qia)", and Jiu Si joked that "it's nothing to eat tea, but it has nothing to do with cloth. Tea goes down, gas goes up, two miles collide, and my brother is infarcted. " It rhymes with each other and is catchy, just like what happens in daily life, and it is easy to have a sense of * * * with the audience. For another example, 49 teased Yin Xin that he cut off his own meat as a snack and sold it to the rich when he had no money to buy things. Silver was so angry that she chased after forty-nine, hiding her face and crying sadly. Realizing that the joke was getting bigger, Jiu Si said, "It's not enough to beat my brother, but also to squeeze barrels of sesame oil." Comparing crying to pressing sesame oil is a common joke in Gao 'an countryside. Vivid image and appropriate metaphor. The seniors understood it as soon as they heard it.
