Features: Shanghai Music Publishing House decided to publish a large series of books titled "A Collection of Chinese Opera Music Appreciation," and "Appreciation of Huangmei Opera Singing" was honorably included in the first batch of publications. They commissioned me to write it, and I happily accepted this task. With years of experience in music composition and theory, I deeply realize that to ensure the sustainable and prosperous development of an art form, it is absolutely essential to write popular and systematic popular literature for the general public. Although the book is popular, the quality must be guaranteed. The traditional folk opera "Dapuzicao" is included in this book because many tunes of Huangmei Opera originate from folk songs, mountain songs, small tunes, and folk dances, and "Dapuzicao" retains a strong folk dance and song charm. As early as 1952, when "Dapuzicao" premiered in Shanghai, music master He Luting and renowned playwright Zhang Tuo wrote articles praising it in newspapers and it was loved by a wide audience. After that, many art troupes across the country traveled to Anhui specifically to study "Dapuzicao." The art publishing houses of Shanghai and Anhui have published both the script and musical scores of this play. Today, this play is still actively performed on stage.
