The Diversity Of Erbaban Type Between "yudong Tone" And "yuxi Tone" In Yu Opera

Yu Opera, one of the local operas in Henan Province, is widely popular in more than 20 provinces and municipalities. In local areas, it is also called "Ou opera", "Henan Ou", "Henan Sharp", "Kaoshan Hou" etc. because the early actors sing in real throat and there is the tone of "Ou" both in the beginnings and the ends of the aria.This thesis consists of 4 chapters, mainly exploring the diversity of the Erba-rhythms between "Yudong Tone"(easten style of Yu Opera) and "Yuxi Tone" (westen style of Yu Opera). In the first chapter we think that the different birth place of "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone" causes the different style of the Erba-rhythms between them. During the past 300 years or so, Yu Opera gradually developed into different shools. In the east of Henan Province, the original Xiangfu Tone was inflenced by economy, culture, litterateur and geisha and was widely spread and formed the "Yudong Tone". In the west of Henan Province, the original Qin Tone was introduced by "Fulingdu" and was spread in the mountain area and formed the "Kaoshan Hou". In the second chapter, we mainly explore the different mode and tonality of the Erba-rhythms between "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone". We think that "Yudong Tone" belongs to the "upper five notes of traditional Chinese music", in which Zhi tone was very popular; "Yuxi Tone" belongs to "lower five notes of traditional Chinese music", in which Gong tone was very popular. At the same time, "Yudong Tone" was influenced by the musical culture in the Huaihe river drainage area and was overflowing with enthusiasm, exalted, pretty and charming, gentle and lovely. "Yuxi Tone" was influenced by the folk music in the west of Henan Province and was vigorous, moving and tragic, mild and indirect, and deep and heavy. Later, the integrative aria combined "Yudong Tone" with "Yuxi Tone" strengthened the Erba-rhythm and made it expressive and colourful. In chapter three, we put forward that the change of syntactic structure is the fundamental driving force for the development of Erba-rhythm. Erba-rhythm consists of two small sentences. And the difference of these two sentences between "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone" also makes the differences of Erba-rhythm between the east and the west. The traditional "Yudong Tone" begins with an unaccented beat and ends with an accented beat, while "Yuxi Tone" begins with an accented beat and ends with an accented beat. In chapter four, we illustrate that the tone and intonation of the dialects in the east and west of Henan Province is the bisic reason for the difference of Erba-rhythm between "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone". At the same time, we probe into characteristics and regularity of Erba-rhythms of "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone" respectively.At last, this thesis sums up the reasons for the difference of Erba-rhythms between "Yudong Tone" and "Yuxi Tone", namely, the different birth place and spreading area, defferent mode and tonality, different syntactic structure and the influnce by tone and intonation of dialects.
