What are the characteristics of the northeast duet?

Errenzhuan is a comprehensive art born among the working people in Northeast China, and it is a simple flower of art. ..

The duet in Jilin has a long history. As early as hundreds of years ago, Errenzhuan was active in the shacks and "big houses" of hunting, ginseng digging and gold panning in Changbai Mountain in a flexible and lively way. He often sings in the farmer's yard or on the kang, which is very popular with old Yum. "Errenzhuan" was renamed as "Errenzhuan". In fact, there are more than two people. After the formation, there are three branches: single head, duet and drama.

After more than 200 years of ups and downs, in the long-term artistic practice, the artistic expression means of duet has been enriched and developed, and gradually formed a unique skill-"four skills and one art", namely singing, speaking, pulling (doing) and jumping.

People often say, "I would rather give up a meal than two people." The local people said: Errenzhuan is like a wheel and dish, which grows in the soil of the countryside and cannot be stepped on or crushed, and goes deep into the hearts of ordinary people.

"Single": refers to "single head", where one person plays a play and one person plays multiple roles. There is also a corner of a play played by one person, which is similar to a "one-man show".

"Double strokes": refers to "double strokes". This is a duet worthy of the name. The two played many roles, narration and endorsement, jumping out and jumping in, singing and dancing.

"Group": In the past, "pulling opera" was also called "group work". Now it refers to group singing, sitting singing or group dancing.

"Drama": refers to "the drama pulled out". This is a northeast folk drama featuring Xiao Dan and the clown. The role played by two of them is also called "Errenzhuan".
