Yuju Opera, also called Henan Bangzi, is one of the most popular local operas all over the country.
Its earliest written record can be dated back more than 200 years. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the opera became widely spread across Henan Province. After 1949, it experienced rapid growth. At first, small performances were held in tea houses in the city of Kaifeng. Then it spread not only in the villages and cities of Henan Province but also all over the country. It became the third most popular style of Chinese opera in the country, just behind Peking Opera and Yue Opera.
Yuju Opera is well received by people because it is full of local flavor (风味) of life. At the beginning, it was loved by its simple folk stories and powerful arias (唱腔), without the use of make-up, costumes, or even instruments. As the art spread to other cities, new styles began to develop. Nowadays Yuju Opera is generally divided into four different styles: Xiangfu, Yudong, Yuxi, and Shahe.
There are over 600 pieces of Yuju Opera. The most popular of which are The Command MuGuiying and HuaMulan. While The Command MuGuiying is a folk tale that is not well-known outside of China, the story of Hua Mulan became the classic Disney film Mulan. It tells the tale of a young woman. She defies tradition and takes her elderly father's place in the army by dressing herself as a man. After 12 years of war, she is honored for her service and is able to return home. Mulan was the brave warrior (战士)!
With the popularity of Liyuan Spring and other programs, Yuju Opera also shows its new power and catches more young people's eyes.
