What are the artistic features of Yuediao?

The singing form of Yuediao was originally Qupai style, and gradually became Banqiang after the middle of Qing Dynasty. Accordingly, its mode is mainly gong mode, and generally only other modes are occasionally used in the interlude.

Stack subclass, also called "save subclass". The main types of this kind of music are crib and roof singing. Singing on the board is called roof singing, which means folding, and singing on the eyes is playing randomly. The derivative discs of the crib subcategory include flower cribs, such as Debate of Confucians and Mo Dao, the Yangtze River is swift and violent. Overlapping, such as "sitting on the mountain" in "Lower South Liu Jinding". This kind of music has many words, and the words are flexible and can be added. Mainly used for narrative, accusation, argument, sad and painful complaints and other plots.

There are three kinds of loose boards: no board, rolling board, inverted board, big board and challenge board. Flipping is the introduction of an aria, such as "Sailing the Yangtze River to the East by Changfeng" in The Scholars, and its derivative disc is called "Soft Flipping", which is mostly sung by Dan Jiao, such as "The wind is rustling and the fog is long and the stars are bleak" in Yangmen Woman. Most of the challenges are sung behind the scenes, for example, the prelude of "Girls, Come with Mom" in "Cutting Yang Jing", "The West Mountain is also turning eastward".

In addition, there are crying, crossing the board, black clips, touching the board, touching the flower stack and so on. Touch the board, also known as "Lamar tune".

There has always been a saying that there are nine tones, eighteen tones and seventy-two tones in Yuediao. Yuediao is mainly based on true voice and supplemented by falsetto when singing. As early as the end of the Qing dynasty, the form of drawling at the end of the sentence was popular, and the singing method chose Ba Holiday Sound. Later, it was gradually stopped.

The range of pure singing is five degrees higher than that of other corresponding occupations, so most of them are falsetto singing.
