During this lesson we learn about the Afro-sonics where is large sound style in African, it has special meanings such liberation. This also giving me some ideas that my essay could be developed into, due to the old history of Chinese opera, there are period of time where China was having war and how that has seriously impact the development of Chinese Opera. This can be proven under the historical movie “霸王别姬” (Farewell to My Concubine) and “活着” (Surviving). It both show how significant the impact of war towards art and culture.
At the same time I have also collect and research into many references for my essay.
Many essays in China talked about the historical and culture meanings of Chinese Opera, they analysed into the performance, sound, instrument music tone, and more aspects of Chinese Opera. I have then collected their keypoint and summarised into my own understanding.
It is about the history of Chinese Opera and its origin, however, I have then write my question in blue and ask about why has it been changed throughout the era. I also focused on the sound on the right side, where I found out there are three main points that has been changed in the contemporary version of Chinese Opera. One is its music of tone, second is the language, and last its accompaniment of musical instruments. I will then analyse it in depth in my final essay.
