Abstract

The Chinese national opera “Struggles in an Ancient City” is one of the most successful national operas since the new century. The reason for its success is demonstrated in three aspects: mass foundation, choice of subject matter, and musical characteristics. The dissemination of novels, films and TV series of the same name in the early period laid a foundation for the masses; the choice of revolutionary historical themes and the strong support of governments at all levels have enabled its patriotic education function to be greatly exerted; the use of Chinese folk music and opera board cavity structure has been accepted by the general audience and has enhanced the aesthetics of the Chinese public. These are the main factors that contributed to the great success of the play and its widespread circulation in society.
