Sichuanese opera (; Sichuanese Pinyin: Cuan1ju4; ) is a type of Chinese opera originating in China's Sichuan province around 1700. Today's Sichuan opera is a relatively recent synthesis of 5 historic melodic styles. Regionally Chengdu remains to be the main home of Sichuanese opera, while other influential locales include Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei and Taiwan.〔(Chengdu China sichuan opera )〕 ==History== Initially there were 5 distinct opera styles.〔Stanton, Sarah. Banham, Martin. () (1996). The Cambridge Paperback Guide to Theatre. Cambridge press publishing. ISBN 0-521-44654-6〕 The history of each style varies greatly. At least one of the Chinese operatic styles began as early as the Three Kingdoms period with some form of ''Canjun opera''. During the Tang dynasty, a band of five came about in Chengdu. In the Song dynasty, the opera developed into ''zaju''. In the Ming dynasty, artists performed the skill in Jinling (modern-day Nanjing). During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, in the Huabu areas, Kunqu, Yiyang, Bangzi and Pihuang melody merged with local languages, folk customs, ditties, yang-kos and Lantern theatre (''Dengdiao'') in Sichuan.〔 During the early 20th century, a revival movement began to reform the art. The best known reformer was Kang Zhilin, who led the Sanqinq (Three Celebrations) Company. This company was one of the most notable opera troupes, established in 1912, and combined the 5 styles into a single opera on the same stage.〔〔 Each style retained its own music. One of the classic skills devised by Kang Zhilin included a high kick that leaves a "third eye" in the middle of the forehead. This has remained one of Sichuanese opera's trademark moves.〔 During the Cultural Revolution, the art form suffered somewhat. But it continued to flourish afterwards, especially since the 1978 Chinese economic reform.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sichuanese opera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
