Wedding Drama and Chu Drama
Chu Opera used to be called "Huangxiao Flower Drum" and "West Road Flower Drum", and 1926 was renamed "Chu Opera". Popular in Hubei, it is about 100 years old. It was developed on the basis of folk songs and dances such as bamboo and horse stilts in Huangpi and Xiaogan, and "Oh Oh cavity" in eastern Hubei. It was originally accompanied by voices and gongs and drums. 1920 entered Wuhan, and gradually developed and improved under the influence of Han opera and Beijing opera. 1923 changed to string accompaniment. After liberation, there was some innovation in music, which enriched the board cavity, developed minor tunes and absorbed high-pitched cavity, forming three major cavity systems: board cavity, high-pitched cavity and minor tune cavity. Traditional plays such as Ge Ma, Hundred Days of Fate, Spilling Porridge, The Justice of the Warden, and modern plays such as Shuangjiaozi and Zhuibao. Have great influence.
