Leleqiang, commonly known as "family drama", "local drama", "noisy drama" and "le drama", is a local drama popular in Fushan, Xiangfen, Yicheng, Quwo and Yaodu District. It is named for its frequent performances of comedies and farces. Leleqiang has a long history. It was originally a combination of folk songs and instrumental music, and gradually formed a relatively complete independent drama in the late Ming Dynasty. It developed to its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and then gradually declined due to disasters and other reasons. The performance of Leleqiang is commonly known as "one small and two local dramas". The costumes are mainly soft folds. Most of the performances are "small dramas", "local dramas", "family dramas" and "Huihui dramas". Representative repertoires include "Five Blessings Holding Longevity", "Double Birthday Greetings", "Kneeling Mules", "Zhang Gong Driving Donkeys", "Zhang San Driving Feet" and so on. The actors are mainly Sheng, Dan and Chou. The tunes are cheerful and pleasant to the ears. The performances are singing and dancing, highlighting the characteristics of "joy and noise". The singing style is mainly in the form of linked songs, and the singing segments are basically four-sentence segments, and occasionally there are upper and lower sentence segments and multi-sentence segments. The accompaniment instruments in the civil field are only small suona and flute, which are mainly used to play high notes, while the martial field uses big gongs, big hairpins, big drums, small drums, cloud gongs and touch bells. The basic rhythm is one beat and one eye, one beat and two eyes, and no beat and no eye. The board styles include slow board, flat board, top board, and scattered board. There are more than ten tunes in the civil field, such as [Le Le Man], [Xi Man], [Flat Board], [Flower Sound], [Slow Board], [Fan Liu Zi], [Wawa], [Dadeng Gang], [Kao Shan], and [Yuer Yuan]; there are five sets of gong and drum classics, including [Shi Qi Qian], [Chuan Long Wei], [Shi Yang Jing], [Shi San Ban], and [Jia Shan]. The actors basically use their own voices (real voices), but some singing styles use polyphony (a combination of real and false voices). The lines were spoken in the local dialect in the early days, and later developed into the local Mandarin. Now, they continue to use Pubai, with slightly different rhythms. Fushan Leleqiang was formed in the Ming Dynasty under the influence of local Yangge, combined with folk music and local tunes. In the more than 200 years of development, after six or seven generations of continuous inheritance and innovation, Leleqiang has undergone tremendous changes in singing style, performance techniques, decorative accompaniment, etc., providing precious physical materials for the study of local operas.
