Yingshang Qinshu
Yingshang Qinshu has been circulated in Yingshang for more than 300 years. It was formed in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. In the early stage, it absorbed the style characteristics of Shandong Qinshu, Xuzhou Qinshu, Yudong Qinshu, Huaihe Qinshu and other Qinshu. Later, it was combined with local folk old songs and flower drum lantern dances, and integrated into the opera art of the surrounding areas. After being passed down by generations of artists, it has formed a unique Qinshu performance style in Yingshang. Yingshang Qinshu singing music is the main body of the song. The representative singing styles include four-sentence singing (divided into slow four-sentence singing and fast four-sentence singing), Duoziban (singing with talking), and Fengyang Song, Plum Blossom Falling and other tunes. Artists call it nine tunes and eighteen tunes. Yingshang Qinshu has graceful and beautiful tunes, soothing and thick singing, simple and vivid language, and lively singing style. It has a wide influence in the area along the Yinghuai River. Yingshang Qinshu is sung in Yingshang dialect, with strong local characteristics. The accompanying instruments include yangqin, huqin (zhuihu), tanban, etc. In terms of performance, Qinshu has three types: solo, duet, and group. Solo means one person performs, playing the zhuihu with his hands and stepping on the sandalwood board for accompaniment. Dual is performed by two people, usually a man and a woman, the man plays the zhuihu, the woman plays the qin and the board, and they sing in a duet. Group Qinshu is performed by more than three people, one person plays the qin and the board, and the others play the zhuihu, and sing in different roles.
