原文
Yu Opera is one of China's five major opera genres, and the largest regional opera genre in the country. It is primarily popular in Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Shandong Province, and has spread to become a traditional theatrical form across China. It is also listedas a National intangible Cultural Heritage of China.
Yu Opera, along with Peking Opera and Yue Opera, is regarded as one of the triumvirate of Chinese opera. With a history spanning over a century.it had already established itself as a major influential opera form in Henan Province by the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty.During its evolution, Henan Opera absorbed artistic elements from diverse sources, including Kunqu, Chuiqiang, Pihuang, and other Bangziqiang opera styles. It further integrated local folk music, storytelling traditions, and vernacular ballads from Henan, forging a distinctive style marked by simplicity, richness, subtlety, and a strong rustic charm.
Long influenced by Central Plains culture, particularly the regional culture of the Yellow River Basin, Yu Opera has developed a distinctive Henan regional style in its repertoire, stage performance, character development, narrative techniques, and musical and vocal styles, imbued with pronounced regional cultural characteristics.
Yu Opera, with its diversity of vocal styles, flexibility in performance, and richness of themes, has become a vibrant embodiment of Central Plains culture. While preserving the ritualistic beauty of traditional theater, it continuously incorporates modern elements, resonating with the spirit of the times. It is not only a cultural symbol of Henan Province but also a shining jewel in the treasury of Chinese opera art.
译文
豫剧，是中国五大戏曲剧种之一、中国第一大地方剧种，是主要流行于河南省、河北、山东，流传中国各地的传统戏剧，国家级非物质文化遗产之一。
豫剧与京剧、越剧同为中国戏曲三鼎甲，传承已有上百年的历史，早在清代乾隆年间，已成为河南很有影响的戏曲剧种。豫剧在生成和发展时期，汲取了昆腔、吹腔、皮簧及其他梆子声腔剧种的艺术因素，同时广泛吸收河南民间流行的音乐、曲艺说唱和俗曲小令，形成了朴直淳厚、丰富细腻、富于乡土气息的剧种特色。豫剧被西方人称赞是“东方咏叹调”“中国歌剧”等。
豫剧艺术长期受中原文化特别是黄河流域地方文化的影响，它在演出剧目、舞台表演、人物塑造、表述方式、音乐唱腔等方面都形成了独特的河南地方风格，带有浓郁的地域文化色彩。
豫剧以唱腔的多样性、表演的灵活性、题材的丰富性，成为中原文化的生动载体。它既保留了传统戏曲的程式之美，又不断吸收现代元素，始终与时代同频共振，不仅是河南的文化象征，也是中华戏曲艺术中的一颗璀璨宝石。
