Introduction to Mei Lanfang's Classic Plays:

1, Drunk Princess

Also known as "Baihua Pavilion", it is a passbook drama based on the story of Yang Guifei, a historical figure in the Tang Dynasty in China. It is widely recognized by Mr. Mei Lanfang, a famous Peking Opera performer in China, and is one of the representative plays of Mei School.

The play depicts a scene in which Yang Yuhuan was deeply loved by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. He was going to invite the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to dinner at Baihua Pavilion, but he couldn't wait long. Later, when I learned that he had switched to Nishimura, I was ashamed and angry, and there was no way to dispel all his concerns. So Gao Lishi and Peilishi were ordered to add a cup to serve a lamp, gulp it down, and then returned to the palace in disappointment.

Drunkenness of the Imperial Lady expresses Yang Guifei's complex feelings from expectation to disappointment to resentment through actions, lyrics and tunes.

2. "Goddess Scattering Flowers"

This drama is one of the costume dramas that Mr. Mei Lanfang often performed in his early days. In the fourth "Cloud Road" and the sixth "Scattered Flowers", Mr. Sang Mei danced and created many beautiful dance movements. It has played a great role in improving the dance art of Beijing opera.
