Exploring And Researching The Tunes Of The Shandong Zhouguzi

"Tune" is term used in a drama,this article studies tune of Zhouzigu in Shandong.The tune in the academic field generally refers to the operatic vocal music served for different type of drama.But it has a relevance of common origin and artistic characteristicsbetween operatic vocal musics,and according to these information to comb out the tune system of operatic vocal music.Therefore “tune”is an important academic term in Chinese opera.It is also the focus of expert.The spread of tune is differentiated into different dramas by the influence of dialect and regional cultures.Although each of these dramas has differentcharacteristic,but it will follow the "original" genes preserved in the operatic vocal music.At present,research results about tune mainly include the definition of tune,historical origin,propagation path and so on,but there are different opinions about the classification of tune among many experts.The debate focused on the divide of local operas except "four opera tunes"(Kunshan,Gao,Bangzi,Pihuang).According to the statistics of "Chinese opera music integration",the drama belonging to four opera tunes is minority,and there are different views about the question of belongingness about the local dramas,which is an urgent problem needed to be solved.Shandong opera,as an important part of Chinese traditional music culture,has rich local color,such as,lu opera with soft lyrical,humorous wuyinxi,passionate Shandong bangzi,beautiful liangjiaxian and so on.They build the prosperity of the Shandong opera."Zhouguzi" is a native tune of shandong province.Both local artists and convention call the "liuqinxi" and "wuyinxi" as "zhouguzi opera".Many literatures mentioned that there are many different types "zhouguzi spoke system" in Shandong,but lack of careful research.As for the current academic research results,the study of "zhouguzi tune" integrity is weak or deficient,and lack of clear route and answers about the development track and the characteristics of music ontology.Based on the above information,I try to study the problem whether there is "zhouguzi tune".First of all,from the perspective of history,I collect relevant literature and generalization,and comb out the historical origin of liuqinxi,wuyinxi,maoqiang liuqiang,and so on in order to know the development track of these drama.Secondly,I use the analysis way of music ontology to summarizes zhouguzi;Third,combined with my firsthand material of fieldwork,observingthe current state of zhouguzi in various troupes,exploring the impact of the modern time on it.
