山陕眉户戏研究综述

A Review of Research on Meihu Drama

眉户戏又称“迷胡”、“曲子”,形成于清朝乾嘉盛世,由山西、陕西黄河两岸的民歌小调孕育而成,是一种具有顽强生命力的地方小戏,它的特点是曲调悠扬动听,简便易学,以反映民间生活为主。经过对地方大戏、民歌、流行音乐、西洋音乐的吸收借鉴,眉户戏至今仍然有广阔的舞台。历史上,眉户戏一直名不见经传,文献中没有关于它的任何记载,这给日后的研究工作带来诸多不便。对它的研究20世纪50年代以后方才全面展开,研究者主要着眼于其源流发展、艺术特色、剧本三个角度,尤其着力于对眉户音乐的搜集整理,但与该剧种自身发展的丰富性相比,现有研究仍需进一步深入。

Meihu drama, which was formed in the glorious period of Qing Dynasty, is an indomitable local drama. It is not until 1950s that the drama was widely researched. The researchers have focused their researches on the three angles of its origin and development, artistic features and plays. Considering the rich and colorful development of this drama, a further research is still needed.
