The Jade Hairpin and the Construction of Kun Opera Abridged Full-length Edition
Different from other classic Kun opera works,The Jade Hairpin encountered various negative reviews shortly after its publication and continued until modern times.Among the critics were famous composers such as Lu Tiancheng,Qi Biaojia,Li Yu,and Wu Mei.Their dissatisfaction mainly focuses on two aspects:first,questioning the characters and unreasonable plot of the work;The second is to accuse it of having problems with its vocal rhythm.However,the highly criticized The Jade Hairpin was deeply loved and welcomed by audiences from all walks of life on stage,and was successfully adapted into an abridged full-length edition.The historical evolution,performance expe-rience,and even existing problems of The Jade Hairpin can provide many inspirations for the construction of today's Kunqu Opera abridged full-length edition.
