The road ahead is long, poetry is the companion, the years are in a hurry, and I wish you peace! Hello, I am Feihuajun.
Yuan opera is a form of literature and art that prevailed in the Yuan Dynasty, including miscellaneous operas and loose songs. Miscellaneous opera is a form of opera, each book is mainly composed of four folds, with wedges added at the beginning or between folds, and each fold is composed of the same palace tune and rhyme of the Northern Opera suite and Binbai. Sanqu is a form of poetry, which is divided into two types: small order and set number. Yuanqu has a strict grid formula, each song card sentence structure, word number, flat and so on have a fixed format requirements, but not rigid, allowed to add lining words in the fixed frame, some of the music cards can also add sentences, rhyme is allowed to rhyme with the rhyme, compared with the poetry quatrain and Song Ci, there is greater flexibility.
