ABSTRACT: The article takes Ninghai flat tune’s “Jinlian Beheaded the Dragon” as an example, and researches its repertoire characteristics from the perspective of cultural identity, analysing the four aspects of “female image of bravery, resourcefulness, and perseverance”, “music of flat tune that draws on the strengths of many and creates a style of its own”, “unique skills and techniques within the roughness”, and “the idea of indoctrination in which evil is not good and people are urged to do good”. Finally, it is concluded that the people’s sense of regional cultural identity should be established by protecting and innovating traditional repertoire and promoting and activating traditional opera art. From the perspective of local opera, the play “Jinlian Beheaded the Dragon” is a microcosm of the development of Ninghai flat tune, and the study of the characteristics of the play “Jinlian Beheaded the Dragon” will help to better inherit the traditional culture of Ninghai flat tune.
