Changsha Tanci is a Han opera popular in Changsha, Yiyang, Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Liuyang and other places in the Xiangjiang River and Zishui River Basin of Hunan. In 2008, Changsha Tanci was selected into the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list. Changsha Tanci is a kind of urban folk art. It originated from Daoqing. Because it is sung in Changsha dialect, it is also called Changsha Daoqing. It has a history of more than 200 years. Changsha Tanci was formed during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. At first, Daoqing was sung with drums and boards. In the "Tanyuan Wenlu" by Yang Enshou, a dramatist in the Qing Dynasty, there was a detailed description of the situation when Zhang Bo, the forefather of Changsha Tanci, sang "Liu Ling Drunk" in 1863 (the second year of Tongzhi): "Singing Daoqing with drums and boards" "Very lifelike". During the Revolution of 1911, many progressive intellectuals used Changsha Tanci to promote democratic revolutionary ideas. It used extremely popular and vivid lyrics to painfully display the critical situation of the Western powers intensifying the division of China and stimulate the people's patriotic enthusiasm. In 1904, after Changsha was opened as a commercial port, teahouses ranked first in the province; after the Anti-Japanese War, there were still more than 100 teahouses in Changsha. Changsha people went to teahouses not only to enjoy the fragrant tea and delicious food, but also to chat and listen to stories. At that time, there were 40 to 50 storytellers in Changsha, and more than 20 teahouses set up performances, with two performances in the day and evening, and each performance had 100 audiences. Among all the storytelling venues, the Huogongdian storytelling venue was the most famous. Storytellers and tanci artists set up tents in Huogongdian for performances. After 1940, there were 3 storytelling tents that could accommodate more than 200 audiences. In the mid-1920s, Changsha artists Zhou Shouyun, Shu Sanhe and others entered teahouses and teahouses to "sit in the tent" to tell stories. After the 1950s, it was named "Changsha Tanci". Changsha Tanci declined rapidly after the "Cultural Revolution". It was not until the late 1970s and early 1980s that Changsha Tanci was reborn. At that time, there were more than 20 Tanci artists left in Changsha. In order to rescue and protect Changsha Tanci, Changsha City has included Changsha Tanci in the list of protected historical and cultural heritages, and allocated special funds for rescue and sorting. Changsha Tanci initially sang Daoqing with drums and boards, and later developed into a person playing the moon guitar and singing; later, there was a duet between two people: one played the moon guitar as accompaniment, and the other beat the rhythm with the fishing drum and small coins, and the two sang duets. In the early days, it was a street mobile singing, and the content was mostly "persuasive articles" and short stories. After 1927, it began to enter the bookstore and teahouse, sitting and singing medium and long stories. The songbook is a combination of prose and rhyme, and singing and singing, with rhyme singing as the main focus. There are two types of spoken words: prose and rhyme. The lyrics are mostly seven-character sentences. The early singing style of Changsha Tanci was simple, with only board style changes. Later, it absorbed folk tunes and local opera singing styles, and became a combination of board style changes and qupai linked sets. Specifically, it is a board and cavity structure with nine boards and nine cavities. There are nine types of ban, such as flat, slow, fast, scattered, and crying; there are nine types of tunes, such as flat, sad, happy, and soft. Different tunes are used in various types of ban. Flat is the basis of various types of ban, and flat is the most widely used tune in flat. There are three main schools of Changsha Tanci's rap style. One is the Liao School, represented by Liao Fuxing. His performance has few tunes and a lazy taste. One is the Zhou School, represented by Zhou Shouyun. His performance has many lyrics and is sonorous and powerful. There is also the Shu School, represented by Shu Sanhe. His performance has orthodox tunes, but it seems dull. Peng Yankun's rap absorbs the essence of various schools, and incorporates some tunes of Hunan Opera, Huagu Tune, Huangmei Opera, and Peking Opera into rap, forming his own school, and he himself is also known as the "Changsha Tanci Living Fossil."
