Mengxi Opera refers to the performance of the story of"Meng Jiangnü"in the Ganzhu area of Guangchang,Jiangxi,during the first month of the lunar year as part of ancestral worship and deity veneration rituals.There are two types of Mengxi Opera:"Zeng Family Mengxi,"performed by the Zeng family,and"Liu Family Mengxi,"performed by the Liu family.Based on an examination and analysis of the vocal styles,repertoire,and related musical pieces of Mengxi Opera,this paper posits that Mengxi Opera features a high-pitched style and includes Haiyan-style high-pitched tunes.In practice,performers often exhibit considerable flexibility in the use of pitch,eschewing fixed modes and scales.Therefore,an in-depth exploration of the"accent"and"tune"of Mengxi Opera holds significant academic and practical value in studying musicology.
