Rengui's Conquest of the East
The "Lok cage book" "Rengui conquest of the East", a total of about 31 out, the old name of 10 sections. Only one copy exists today, and the "Xiao Jiandi copy" labeled "New Gongbei" was made on the auspicious day of May in the 14th year of the Guangxu era (1888). The copy of "Rengui's Journey to the East" is not much damaged and is basically well preserved. If there is any regret, it is that there is still a play "Puff Flowing Yellow" which is not included. As the copyist Xiao Jiandi noted on the last page of the "Back Book", "The Puffing Yellow is in the next book (Tigers)". According to the "Puff Liu Huang" is a famous opera in "Ren Gui's Journey to the East", it was copied "in the next book" (i.e. copied on another book), so it was lost. Fortunately, Mr. Cai Juncuo's record of traditional puppet opera tune (score) contains a song [Puffing Moth Rolling] "Silver Candle Autumn Light", which can be confirmed with the lyrics of the song [Rolling] published in the upper column of the "Newly Carved Supplementary Opera Team Jinqu Daquan Mantianchun Two Volumes" during the Ming Dynasty, so we know that the puppet opera "Rengui Zongdong" is an ancient opera from the Ming Dynasty. The play is a kind of puppet theater "Baiwen", in which the play "to ask for the deed" and "grave woman epilepsy" are all written in Quanzhou "local language", which has a strong local color, and for hundreds of years, it was also the most popular play for folk to choose. The play "Blame Shi Gui", "Cheng Biao Jin urges the army", and "Guo Gong rewards the soldier" are all unique features of puppet theater, "North (net)" line of work.
