Study On Puxian Opera From The Perspective Of Witch Culture

Witch culture plays an important role in the formation and development of Puxian Opera.First of all,the relationship between witch culture and the origin of opera is expressed.Wu is the earliest drama actor,and the formal factor of witchcraft ceremony has laid the foundation stone for the development of opera.Secondly,the Puxian society,which gave birth to Putian opera,shows a diffuse situation of wu wind,and this fertile land of wu wind gives Putian opera the possibility to form and develop to a certain extent.Finally,reviewing the history of Puxian Opera,witch cultural activities are accompanied by Putian Opera.After the formation of opera,witch culture entered the social life of Puxian Opera and Puxian people in different ways and forms.Although some contents belong to feudal superstition,they also show the emotion and spirit of the people of Putian.The phenomenon of "opera" retains the performance form of witchcraft ritual,but endows it with the plot;the taboo concepts in the performance maintain the hierarchy and play the function of moral education;and the ghosts in Putian opera carry the aesthetic interest and values of Putian people.The aesthetic influence of witch culture on Putian opera is also profound.The concept of time and space in the witchcraft ceremony is given to the aesthetic concept of Puxian opera;the thinking mode of witchcraft and the creation principle of opera are heterogeneous,and both pursue the highest aesthetic realm of "scene unity",and then Puxian opera,like Chinese opera,embarked on the road of stylized.However,witchcraft thinking mode is not the decisive cause of stylized opera;the puppet art of Putian Opera has historical history with witch culture.The meaning of Putian opera and witch culture needs to be re-examined and understood based on the rational attitude.Taking history as a mirror,the contemporary narrative of Putian opera witch culture should abandon the feudal superstition content and move towards the future with the attitude of truth,goodness and beauty.
