1、1The fusion of national vocal music singing with the singing of Chinese traditional operaAbstract. Chinas national vocal music singing is a distinctively Chinese singing method formed according to the musical aesthetic and artistic creation of people of all ethnic groups， reflecting peoples awarenes
2、s and understanding of the singing art. Rich singing forms， artistic styles and sincere emotions are the national vocal singing characteristics. It can be said that the national vocal music issues from the people， and grows in the common people， and is the peoples precious spiritual wealth. National
3、 vocal singing draws up the essence of traditional Chinese music， and fuses the singing methods of a variety of folk music based on the scientific vocal method. It is very obvious that the vocal music singing uses for reference the traditional opera singing skills. This paper discusses from six aspe
4、cts the fusion and reference of the national vocal music singing with the singing of Chinese traditional opera， in order to have the guidance of national vocal music and our teaching practice. Key words： National vocal music， singing， traditional 2opera， fusion， reference As everyone knows， the nati
5、onal vocal singing style has been influenced by the Chinese traditional music. The traditional opera contains superb singing skills and methods， as well as plain esthetic styles which have been widely used in the national singing. There have all kinds of connections between the folk songs and the op
6、era. It is not so important whether the traditional folk influence the drama， or the singing skills of the opera affect the singing method of our modern national vocal music. What is important is that the art form “the combination of opera and folk song “， in the process of constant communion and re
7、ference forms an independent singing form of a unique style， which improves the artistic taste for the national vocal music singing and keeps pace with the times of the opera singing. However， with the continuing reform of the level of national vocal music singing， and the continuous influence by we
8、stern bel canto， the national vocal singing style lacks more and more national characteristics of the music. Especially as the national vocal music teaching in colleges and universities， we should be more aware of the influence character of the opera singing during the development of national vocal
9、music. Modern folk singing pursues more of 3the natural， cordial， rhythm and touching factors， which are affected by the opera singing. 1. Origin of the folk vocal music singing and the traditional opera singing Our countrys folk opera is rich in resources， and the traditional opera of the areas cov
10、ers a wide range of variety and diversity in form and content. The folk dance and the folk singing are an important factor to nourish the maturity and development of the drama. Since the new century， the construction of musical disciplines， and the budding folk singing have appeared in the inheritan
11、ce of folk opera “accent“. In the exploration and development period of national vocal music art， the traditional opera provides a platform for the Chinese ethnic vocal art， and also provides more abundant materials for the development of vocal music teaching. The traditional opera factors penetrate
12、d in national vocal music art， changed the teaching pattern of the traditional national vocal music， and made the national vocal singing gradually improved and more personality. The birth of the last century thirtys opera “the white haired girl“ marked the national vocal music into a new period of d
13、evelopment. And then the creation of “husband and wife literacy“， “Honghu Lake“， “Jiang Jie“ and other operas have 4the sense of milepost type in national vocal music history. Obviously， these materials are not away from the influence of the traditional opera drama， and the opera， Bangzi opera， Hena
14、n Opera， Kunqu Opera， Jiangxi Opera， Flower Drum Opera， Sichuan Opera， Huangmei Opera， and music factors. Similarly， the factors of vocal music embodied in the drama stage， and we can see that these works have the deep origin of the opera. Obviously， if there is no traditional opera as a foundation，
15、 there is on todays mature national vocal music system， nor the national vocal music methodology of science. Now the national vocal music teaching also noted that the national vocal music singing is the cornerstone to traditional opera， and grew up in the opera music path. Taking the singing method
16、of the actor Wang Kun teacher who played Xi Er in “the white haired girl“ as an example， “the combination of opera and folk song“ singing greatly improved the traditional opera singing forms， and laid a good foundation for the modern national vocal music singing， which brings the opportunity for the
17、 development of national vocal music and the singing career. And finally the “drama and opera integration“ innovate the national vocal music and the opera， and organically combined the two， which enriched the connotation of ethnic vocal music. So， in 5the vocal music teaching in colleges and univers
18、ities， the vocal music teachers should pay attention to the common pursuit of the temperament of the art of vocal music， with the mutual penetration of the blending intersection “sisters flower“ of the vocal music and opera， which will embody the instructional value of the traditional drama on the n
19、ational vocal music. 2. Assimilation of the “flavor“ of the opera singing in the vocal music singing of the folk songs “Rhyme“ is a special aesthetic pursuit of the Chinese culture since ancient times. Whether it is in ancient times or in modern times， in the field of literature or the art， the Chin
20、ese have a deep understanding of “Rhyme“. In the vocal music teaching practice， we should guide the students to learn the rich rhythm in the traditional opera， understand the traditional opera contains embodied in the profound the charm of the traditional aesthetic connotation， and the deep emotiona
21、l experience of the outstanding communication between the host and the guest. In fact， the rhythm aesthetic of the opera is embodied in every detail， which requires not only elegance and chic in the body， but also the rhythm and artistic conception in the singing. Until now， the traditional opera st
22、ill does not get rid of 6the pursuit of the charm， and continue down the aesthetic sentiment as a special representative of Chinese art， and from the national vocal singing techniques， we can also see this fusion of the special aesthetic way in national vocal music. The national vocal music teaching
23、 also pays attention to the unique， profound， subtle flavor to the rich emotional experience， to meet the aesthetic requirements of people on the vocal singing. Whether it is in national vocal music， or in the teaching practice of ethnic vocal music， aside from the basic singing skills， peoples aest
24、hetic basis for singing mostly comes from the judge of the flavor. Some people say that the classical Chinese drama peruses the beauty of the art charm of higher level， and the same standard is that the national vocal music diligently pursues the basic principles. 3. The “singing“ fusion of the folk
25、 vocal music and the opera singing National vocal music now has developed into a mature discipline， but the teaching of national vocal music or singing ignores the role of traditional opera to the national vocal music， and also ignores that the national vocal singing draws the essence of traditional
26、 opera singing， which follows the same pattern of the situation. Take our veteran singer Guo 7Lanying teacher as an example， when the national vocal music singing is not very mature， there are drawbacks in some breath and articulation in her singing. To deal with these methods， the singer combined a
27、nd modified the traditional method of local folk songs and the opera， and flexibly applied it in the national vocal music singing. Her new singing style abandoned the imitation dogmatic， but did natural integration between the two characteristics， and drew an expressive voice， strong penetrating pow
28、er， and sincere， auditory vocal easy-going， natural and smooth articulation from the traditional opera singing. These still have far-reaching influence on our national vocal singing and teaching. These singing treatments still did not change the nature of the folk song singing in vocal music teachin
29、g， and also applies to our college and students. As everyone knows， our older influential music educator， even the old artists as our national vocal music openers， many of them “abandoned play and started the song“ and goes onto the teaching road of national vocal music or singing. These people abso
30、rbed rich nutrients to nourish the long-term development of the national vocal music from the traditional opera soil on the road. In addition， Chinas folk song is rich in resources， and the country folk are different 8form of folk songs. Tracing the source music from the inheritance and the change，
31、these folk songs of the same clan are evolved from the traditional opera. National vocal music singing today did not forget those precious old folk songs， and the originality has also become a level of national vocal music singing pursuit. Then combined with the traditional opera singing， the aesthe
32、tic reflecting the creation intention and characteristics of the folk songs has also become an important factor in promoting the fusion of national vocal music and the traditional opera singing. 4. Reference of the national vocal singing on the “pronunciation“ processing of the opera Chinese is one
33、of the most abundant languages in the world language system， and the word， sound and meaning are not identical. Chinese characters themselves have high and low tones， so the Chinese “rising and falling in cadence“ itself is if the music character. Language is the main factor of national vocal music
34、singing， and the key of the style of music. The national vocal music and the traditional opera singing are very much the same in articulation processing. In the traditional Chinese opera singing， complex language is used for the rendering of the story， and the music has also 9been well played. The a
35、esthetic standards of language of the national vocal music are very high， and in the articulation processing it not only embodies the qualities of traditional opera music into the cavity， and in the language it pursues the aesthetic and clear standard. The national vocal music singing does not divor
36、ce from the aesthetic standard of the traditional opera in the processing of sound， rhyme and tone， but on the basis of these forms the articulation processing with special method. So， in the national vocal music teaching practice， students should be guided to process the speech and pronunciation of
37、 the vocal music art， the emotional， aesthetic， rhythm and expression expressed in the vocal music art most incisively embodies the common style between the opera and the folk vocal music. In addition， the formation of traditional opera is related to the folk song itself. Because the traditional ope
38、ra has been performed in the open air， and there were no senior audio facilities before， artists must be clear in the singing， and the voice must be penetrated. Today， well take another perspective to analyze the national vocal music singing. The vocal music singing clearly has different approaches
39、but equally satisfactory results of beauty with the traditional 10opera in the pronunciation processing. National vocal music singing draws from the traditional opera in the pronunciation processing of the word head， belly and tail separation， in order to let the pronunciation serve the song itself，
40、 and also to strengthen their own rhythm of the national vocal singing， and also to enrich and perfect the singing skills following the same pattern. Now the national vocal music singing somewhat has the “ocean“ gas， but lacks the national taste. It reflects and draws from the opera singing advantag
41、es in national vocal music teaching， and is of positive significance to the vocal music teaching. The author thinks that for the national vocal music works adapted from the traditional opera or the local folk songs， in the secondary processing and creation of the singing， we still can properly use t
42、he pronunciation methods some operas commonly use， which can reflect not only the diversity of the national vocal music singing， but also the national characteristics of the song itself， to make it sound more flavor to appreciate and enhance the aesthetic experience. 5. Application of the opera “breathing“ method in the national vocal music singing Our older generation of opera house paid much attention on the singing breathing very seriously， and formed their own
