Qinqiang

Qinqiang

Qinqiang (秦腔, pinyin: Qínqiāng) or Luantan (, pinyin: Luàntán) is the representative folk Chinese opera of the northwest Province of Shaanxi, China, where it was called Qin thousands of years ago. Its melodies were originated from the rural areas of ancient Shaanxi and Gansu.

The genre uses the "bangzi" as one of the accompanying instruments, from which it derives its other name, "Bangzi opera". Bangzi tune is the oldest, most affluent opera tune in China's Four Great Characteristic Melodies. Qinqiang is the representative of the Bangzi opera and the most important origin of other Bangzi operas.
