Mastery, Signature Works & Repertoire

Male, Han ethnicity, born in May 1936 in Shang County, Shaanxi Province. In 1950 he joined the Shangluo Prefecture opera troupe; in 1972 he was transferred to the Danfeng County opera troupe as its deputy director, and in 1980 he was appointed director of the Shang County opera troupe. In 1983 he returned to the Shangluo City opera troupe, where he worked until his retirement. He devoted himself to the composition and theoretical study of Shangluo Daoqing music, developing a repertory that had consisted of simple paired upper and lower lines in a single metrical pattern into a fully formed Shangluo Daoqing opera genre with relatively complete metrical patterns, a relatively full complement of role types, and distinctive vocal characteristics. He composed music successively for the film version of the Shangluo Daoqing opera Yi Wen Qian (A Single Coin) and for adapted productions such as Honghu Chiwei Dui (The Red Guards of Lake Honghu), Hongse Niangzijun (The Red Detachment of Women), and Liang Shanbo yu Zhu Yingtai (The Butterfly Lovers).
