Buddhist music

Buddhist music originated in the Vedic period of India. According to the samveda, which describes the singing method of Rigveda, the Buddha formulated the GADA. The GADA refers to the Gatha, which is convenient to spread the Buddha Dharma. Buddhist music is called Sanskrit sound, also known as fanbei. Sanskrit, from the Indian language, is the abbreviation of 'Brahma'. From the 6th to the 5th century B.C., Sakyamuni, the Buddha, used music when he founded Buddhism in India. He used the 'pure and elegant' singing to speak the Sutra. After about the 3rd century B.C., Buddhist music gradually spread to Asia and all over the world with Buddhism. Because of different nationalities and regions, Buddhist music absorbs different folk music in the process of spreading, thus producing different styles of Buddhist music.

Call of the Wild - Jack London

The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. London spent almost a year in the Yukon, and his observations form much of the material for the book. The story was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published later that year in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London. As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.

Since the 55th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1790), the four Hui troupes, namely Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, who were originally performing in the south, have successively entered Beijing to cooperate with Han Opera artists from Hubei Province. At the same time, they have accepted some repertoires, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Qinqiang opera, and absorbed some local folk tunes. Through continuous communication and integration, Beijing opera has finally formed. Beijing opera has a set of standardized artistic expression patterns in literature, performance, music, stage art and other aspects. The aria of Peking Opera belongs to a plate type variation, with Erhuang and xipi as the main vocals. The accompaniment of Peking Opera can be divided into two categories: Wenchang and Wuchang, in which huqin is the main instrument and Guban is the main instrument. The roles of Peking Opera can be divided into life, Dan, Jing, ugliness, miscellaneous, martial arts, and Liu. The last three lines are no longer specialized. Each business has a set of performance program, singing, reading, doing and playing skills have their own characteristics. Peking Opera takes historical stories as its main performance content.

China Opera--Huai Opera

Huaiju said Jianhu dialect and sang Jianhu tune. The leading figures in all stages of Huaiju are mostly Jianhu people. Jianhu is the hometown of Huai opera people. In November 1950, Ma Lintong, a famous Huai opera actor, first printed the standard 'Huai opera' on the opera list. [1] As a result, 'Jiangbei opera', 'Jianghuai opera' and other different appellations gradually unified to 'Huai opera'. In October 1952, the Shanghai People's Huai Opera Troupe attended the first national opera performance conference, and its name was officially recorded in the national file. In 1953, upon the proposal of Premier Zhou Enlai, the state officially named the play Huaiju. [1] In the middle of Qing Dynasty, in Huai'an prefecture (today's salt city and Huai'an City) and Yangzhou Prefecture, a rap form 'gate exclamation' developed from farmer's chant and field song 'part part part cavity' and 'planting seedling tune' was popular among the local people. The form was one person singing alone or two people singing in pairs, which was called 'two Kezi'. Only the bamboo clapping was used. After the Huaiju opera was performed in combination with the Xianghuo opera, a folk song opera in Northern Jiangsu, and later influenced by Huixi opera and Peking Opera (called huijiake), it gradually enriched in singing, performance and repertoire, thus forming Huaiju opera.
