大调曲《李豁子离婚》的艺术魅力

The Dadiao Tune of ”Li Huozi's Divorce” is a long-lasting classic of Quyi (folk art forms including ballad singing, story telling, comic dialogues, clapper talks, cross talks, etc.) and has far-reaching impact. It takes an impartial stance towards the aspirations of the heroine and propagates new marriage norms. At the same time, it shows humanistic care to the deformed hero, which accords with the spirit of benevolence and righteousness comprising the origin of moral sense. As a result, it ignites the audiences' empathy with and compassion for the underprivileged and calls for people to consciously evaluate the value of personality. In a word, ”Li Huozi's Divorce”, through its true depiction of life by way of lively ballads and patois that suit both refined and popular tastes, reveals the rustic charm of folk arts.
