Minghuju is a folk art field in Jinan at the end of Qing Dynasty. It was originally located on the South Bank of Daming Lake and to the west of Quehua bridge. It is said that it was built by Guo Dani, an artist of Lihua drum.

historical background

In his travels to Laocan, Liu e once described in detail the situation when he went to listen to music in minghuju: "it was only ten o'clock when he came to minghuju. Naming Lake juben is a big opera garden with more than 100 tables in front of the stage. When he entered the garden gate, the garden was full. There were only seven or eight tables in the middle, but they were all pasted with red notes like "fuyuanding" and "xuezhiding". After watching for a long time, Lao Can had no place to settle down, so he had to give 200 yuan to sit down in his sleeve. Then he got a short bench and sat down in the crevice. Looking at the stage, there was only one and a half tables. There was a panel drum on the table and two pieces of iron on the drum. I knew that this was the so-called pear flower Jane. There was a three string beside it and two chairs behind the half table. There was no one on the stage. Such a big stage, empty, nothing else, see some funny. In the garden, there were ten or twenty people carrying baskets selling fried bread sticks, all of which were bought to satisfy the hunger of those who did not eat. Ming Huju in Qing Dynasty has no trace, but the wonderful description of Wang Xiaoyu's singing in Lao Can's travels makes it famous. In 2010, Xinming Lake residence was built on the north side of the bell tower site of the bell tower temple in Jinan. People can enjoy the performances of Shandong Dagu, kuaishu, Xiangsheng and other quyi, and enjoy the fun of drinking tea and listening to quyi.

In September, Jinan minghuju Performing Arts Co., Ltd. was established. This indicates that culture and art enter into the real sense of market integration, and take the lead in the tide of transforming cultural institutions into enterprises to explore new ways for the reform and development of art troupes.

"The performances are quyi performances with Shandong local characteristics, including Shandong drum, Shandong kuaishu, Shandong folk songs, Shandong Qinshu, etc. In the middle, there are performances such as crosstalk, single string and fast writing on the blackboard. The daily number of performances is generally 9 to 10.
