Introduction to Luantan (Luantan on Zhuji West Road)

Applicant: Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province

Luantan opera on Zhuji West Road is a kind of Luantan opera, which was introduced into Zhuji from Shaanxi Province via Hangjiahu waterway in the early Qing Dynasty and combined with local language, music and opera. It is popular in Shengzhou, Shaoxing, Xiaoshan, Pujiang, Yiwu and other surrounding areas. Zhuji Xilu Luantan is different from other Luantan dramas in tune, language, repertoire and performance. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the West Road of Zhuji was at its peak. There were dozens of troupes such as "old Changchun" in Zhuji County alone. Most of them performed during the trade fairs in market towns, which were called "fairs".

In addition to being able to sing Bangzi opera, Xilu Luantan also has more than 200 tunes and more than 400 plays. It once stood in opposition to Shaoxing opera and Yue opera. His masterpieces include Shuanggui, riwang and tielingguan.

In 1962, Zhuji Luantan troupe was founded. At present, with the support of the local government, through training classes, opera into the campus, culture into the countryside and other forms, the West Road Luantan has risen rapidly, and the new row of traditional plays such as "Dabu VAT" has been widely welcomed by the audience.
