Bangkok in Xuzhou
Xuzhou Bangzi, one of the traditional local operas in Jiangsu Province, is named for its rhythm, which is directed by a set of drums and bangzi. The masses of Xuzhou also call it "Grand Opera". It has been popular in Xuzhou area of northern Jiangsu for three or four hundred years. In the early stage, it evolved from Caozhou Bangzi (Shandong Bangzi), and later a group of famous Henan actors came to Peipei to perform or pass on their performances. Therefore, the singing style of Xuzhou Bangzi Opera is not only strong in Shandong Bangzi, but also soft in Henan Bangzi.
On June 7, 2008, Bangzi of Xuzhou was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list with the approval of the State Council.
Historical Origin
Plays among the people, people move away, and the voices of the Qin Dynasty are everywhere in Chu.
Shanxi Bangzi and Shaanxi Bangzi were introduced into Jiangsu through Shandong and Henan as early as the Ming Dynasty, along with a large number of immigrants and subsequent business operations, official transfer, the movement of the Rebel Army, the flow of victims and other channels.
Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, Shanxi and Shaanxi businessmen have spread all over the country because of the budding development of capitalist production relations. They went to the prefecture, prefecture, county and town to build the guild hall of Shanxi and Shaanxi, where they built stage performances. They often invited their hometown Bangzi Opera to perform far away, and used it as a means of business and trade. There are Shanshan and Shaanxi Guild Halls in Xuzhou and other counties. Owing to the frequent performances of Bangzi Opera, there is an inherent saying that "the voice of Chu is everywhere in Qin Dynasty", because Xuzhou was once the capital of the King of Chu during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the voice of Qin was Qin Opera.
In the Annals of Xuzhou Prefecture compiled during Tongzhi Period of the Qing Dynasty, there are biographies of people: "Li Weizi and Yu, Fengxian people... In the late years of Kangxi, the number of resident officers increased. Gong was not very literate, but respected by scholars. He built Zhejiang Chronicles, academies and Xinlin Dufeng. Take your spare time to the south. Call you Hairen Ji Ma-zi and talk about the miscellaneous events of Han and Tang Dynasties..." It can be imagined that the spread of Bangzi Opera and the frequent exchanges with local opera art at that time.
In the Preliminary Collection of Chinese Opera Research Materials, Ouyang Yuqian once became angry with Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty when he visited the theatre in the south. He sent Yigao A to collect the opera articles of Jining, Pengcheng (Xuzhou) and Yangzhou opera troupes for trial in Yangzhou, and also gave a clear introduction to dispelling the evil and retaining good teaching.
In the fifth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, Yin Fengzhe, an entertainer of Bangzi Opera in Caozhou, was sent to Peixian by Mark Duan, the owner of Miaodaokou Village, to run a theatre. The theatre has expanded year by year, and bamboo shoots have sprung up all over Peixian after rain. In the meantime, well-known Henan actors and actresses came to Peipei to perform or pass on their performances. Therefore, the singing style of Xuzhou Bangzi Opera is not only strong in Shandong Bangzi, but also soft in Henan Bangzi.
Inheritance and Development
War Years
Using Bangkok as Weapon
Xuzhou Bangzi Opera has a long and glorious revolutionary historical tradition.
After 1911 Revolutionary Movement of 1911, Huangji Daban, Guojiaban, Chen Ruiqi Ban, Yuedong Ritual Band and Ganzitou (Greenwood Heroes) Damao, Ermao, Laoban Duan and Daytime Master overthrew the Yamen of Manqing Pei County at one stroke. Zhang Xiao, the Wu ugly of Huangji Daban, served as county governor for seven days, and was restored by Zhangxun Department to defend the Yangtze River.“ After Zhang Xiao's arrest, he was brave and unyielding, laughing and scolding, calm and complacent. When he was tied to the prison, he sang the Xuzhou Bangzi opera "dragging and shaking" loose board: "After three cries of bitterness, he blocked his throat, three points in the world and seven points in the earth."
During the Anti-Japanese War, Xuzhou was located in a key position and used to be an outpost town to fight against Japanese aggression. Many patriotic literati actors gathered here, such as Tian Han, Hongshen, Jinshan, and so on, which made Xuzhou Bangzi Opera improve a lot in terms of repertoire, performance, music and singing. Many artists joined the revolutionary ranks and went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, such as Comrades Xiao Jizhou and Wang Huaiyan.
