White Rabbit is a good representative of Liuzi Opera, which best to demonstrate the features of Liuzi Opera.柳子戏代表剧目《白兔记》行腔完整、婉转华丽，最能代表柳子戏的演唱特色。

Nihao: What are the unique features of Shandong Liuzi Opera?

Chi: In terms of clothing and script, Liuzi Opera is very close to Peking Opera.

However, Liuzi Opera is unique in its tune, that is, the way that actors interpret the story and the music through their voice and pronunciation. This is because the structure of the lyrics and tunes of Liuzi Opera is very precise. The number of words of each “Qu Pai”＊ and each sentence is fixed. Therefore, Liuzi Opera relies on the variety of its tunes to improve its artistic effect. In terms of style, Liuzi Opera is particularly famous for its power. In fact, Liuzi Opera has various tunes, including the mild ones and the powerful ones. As the saying goes: “The voice of female roles is high, while the voice of male roles is trembling.”

Nihao: How can Liuzi Opera develop?

Chi: Liuzi Opera needs huge cost to develop, which involves training a troupe that consists of different roles of actors and instrumentalists. If Liuzi Opera wants to develop, it must be reformed. At present, Shandong Provincial Liuzi Opera troupe is selecting good performers and has performances regularly in rural areas, which are warmly welcomed. If Liuzi Opera wants to get more viewers, it must be closer to the aesthetic needs of the new era and make innovations and create new dramas. I also start to collect old tunes and record them into teaching materials. I think that if Liuzi Opera can be combined with the Internet, it will be able to win appreciation and recognition from more people.

Nihao：山东柳子戏与其他戏曲相比有什么独特之处？

迟：在服装和剧本等方面，柳子戏与京剧等戏曲十分接近。柳子戏的独特之处在于它的行腔，也就是演员通过声腔和咬字来诠释剧情和曲谱的方式。这是因为柳子戏的词格与唱腔的结构严谨,每支曲牌和每句曲词的字数都是固定的，因此，柳子戏通常依赖行腔的丰富变化来提高艺术造诣。在风格方面,柳子戏尤以其粗犷闻名，也因此被很多人误以为粗犷就是它的风格，实际上，柳子戏的行腔丰富多彩，既有大气粗犷又有委婉细腻，比如“旦角云里飞，小生颤巍巍”。

Nihao：柳子戏如何发展传承？

迟：传统戏曲都面临着与社会发展节奏脱节的问题。柳子戏传承成本大，需要培养一个团队，包括不同角色的演员和乐手等。柳子戏要获得发展，必须有所改革。省委宣传部和文化厅高度重视柳子戏的发展。山东省柳子戏剧团也在积极地落实、排新戏、培养新人，对青年学生进行指导。剧团定期去农村表演，赢得的反响依然热烈。我还开始整理老的曲牌，录制成教学材料。我认为，如果柳子戏能开始与互联网结合，那么它一定能够为更多人所欣赏和认可。
