To be exact, it took hundreds of years for the development of Chinese operamusic. From historical record, we can see the well documented drama “TaYaoNiang”and classical dramas such as “ZhiQuWeiHuShan”,“HongDengJi”, etc. It has been along road for the development of Chinese opera music. In the past, Chinese operamusicwent through the glorious Ming and Qing dynasty and it has been stuck in thebottleneck in recent years. Up to now, we have not done enough research to analyzethis national cultural asset. It is not fully developed in the current days when modernwestern musical techniques are everywhere. Under this condition, we the youngpeople are obligated to develop and spread Chinese opera music. Chinese opera musicis not just a stage show; it is one of our valuable national cultural heritages. We shouldmake efforts to protect and develop it.As stated above, the massive western musical techniques around traditionalChinese opera music could be used to help the development of Chinese opera music.The features of these techniques such as The Multi Part thinking、Keyboard textures、Symphony concept、Harmony&Polyphonic, can be applied in traditional Chineseopera music. Without absorbing the new technique, it is very difficult for thedevelopment of modern Chinese opera music.
