Abstract:

The yangge opera in the Yan'an base area in 1940s was reformed through politics. This was a case in which a folk art was remolded through politics. Such a reformation became a concrete form of the current discourse reconstruction. It has four characteristics: mundanity, ideologization of cultural signs, collectivizational operation, and mutual penetration of folk dialects and ideological terms.

Key words: folk, politics, yangge opera, discourse
