aria
Singing plays an important role in Beijing Opera. In the past, actors were called "singers", and the vocals in Beijing Opera were mainly Xipi and Huanger. Generally speaking, Xipi is good at expressing liveliness and joy, while Huang Er mainly expresses sadness and carols. Both singing methods have many sections, forming a beautiful singing. Xipi: On the Huqin, the tone of the outer string is "3" and the tone of the inner string is "6". There are reverse board, swing board, loose board, adagio, three eyes, original board, 26, running water, allegro and so on. Huang Er: Huqin's external chord is "2" and its internal chord is "5". In addition to the xipi board mentioned above, there are four tones. Others: In addition to Xipi and Huang Er, there are high-tempo, Nanbangzi, Suona and Blowing Cavity, which are used to designate plays. The lyrics of Beijing opera are all rhyming, and the sentence patterns vary in length, including three characters, five characters, seven characters, crosses and so on. The lyrics of Beijing opera have been refined and fixed after a long period of tempering. However, because the actors are bound by the rules and obey the teacher's training, some unreasonable lyrics are also in the same strain and dare not change.
