Life and performance are one of the main types of traditional opera performances in China. Play a male role. The name "Sheng" first appeared in the Southern Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, generally referring to the hero in the play. This line has been used in all previous operas. According to the age and identity of the characters, modern operas are divided into three branches: Lao, Shao and Wu, and their performances have their own characteristics. A branch of the old lifeline. Also called a beard.

2. Deniers

One of the main types of traditional opera performances in China, the collective name of female roles. As early as the Song Dynasty, the role of "pretending to be Dan" already existed. After the formation of Southern Opera and Northern Zaju in Song and Yuan Dynasties, Dan's name was still used, and its application was slightly different. There are four branches in the mature period of Kunshan dialect: Zheng Dan, Xiao Dan, Tiedan and Lao Dan. Since then, various operas have developed many branches.

According to the age, personality and identity of the characters, modern drama Dandan can be roughly divided into Zheng Dan (Tsing Yi), Hua Dan, wudan, Lao Dan and Cai Dan, and their performances have their own characteristics.

3. Net
