Creative background:
Huansha Ji is a Kunqu opera adapted from China's legendary work "Wu Yue Chun Qiu", originally named "Wu Yue Chun Qiu", with a total of 45 works. China's story of wuyue's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period is used to express his deep thinking on the historical law of the rise and fall of feudal countries.
The story is full of twists and turns and the structure is complete. The stone image is full and the characters are distinct. It successfully used ink painting on the stage for the first time, which opened up the creative field of Kunshan cavity legend and expressed the sense of rise and fall with the help of life and death. The lyrics are beautiful and lyrical, and Kunqu music is naturally combined with the plot. Many creative musical passages greatly enhance the performance effect.
