Abstract

Traditional operas account for an important part of Chinese intangible cultural heritages and are embodiments of a nation’s soft power. Lv opera, a national intangible cultural heritage, drives from Dongying in Shandong province, China. The opera is simple, unadulterated, fluent and easy to learn, and is thus popular among the local people. As time moves forward, Lv opera has unwittingly become an indispensable part of the local culture of Shandong. Yet, as most of the audience are old people in rural areas, and college students largely know little about this form of art. They pay little attention it Lv opera and show no cultural identity for it, which results from lack of opera training in colleges. Now, the market for Lv opera is shrinking and old Lv opera masters can find no one to inherit this art. College students are the major force of social development, so they are both capable and liable to learn Lv opera and promote its development. Therefore, it is important for colleges to promote education of traditional operas and cultivate the students’ cultural identity of this form of art. By encouraging colleges to promote education of traditional operas, this paper aims to cultivate the college students’ cultural identity and thus achieve the goal of “education of Lv opera”.
