Does China's traditional drama have a soundtrack?

Drama is a space-time art that combines literature, music, painting, sculpture, architecture, dance lighting and other artistic expression means. These means are shown in the play as the scenery, lighting, props, clothing and makeup of the script and plastic arts; Acoustics, interludes, scores, tunes, dances and movements as music arts. Drama art takes the actor's performance as the noumenon, absorbs and integrates various artistic elements, and forms a unified external form of drama art. It can be seen that drama, as a work, is an artistic form of performance. There is no soundtrack in Beijing opera, which has only been adopted recently. Generally, it is a simple score, which is occasionally used in modern times (there is also a percussion "gongs and drums" score in Beijing opera, and the score is recorded by a set of established onomatopoeic characters combined with the simple score music notation). Introduction to Traditional Music in China: Traditional Opera Music and Instrumental Music (Volume II) is a supporting textbook for Introduction to Folk Music in China (now renamed Introduction to Traditional Music in China) of the Central Conservatory of Music.

According to the curriculum, the content of last semester includes folk songs, folk dance music and rap music, and the content of next semester includes opera music and instrumental music. The rhymes in Introduction to Traditional Music in China: Traditional Opera and Instrumental Music (Part II) do not completely correspond to the homonyms used in the course. The reason why the course has not been proofread according to acoustics for many years is that the editor doesn't want students to misunderstand the characteristics of folk music "dead music and live singing" which completely corresponds to the score. However, some tracks that need to be modeled in class have been properly proofread, and some obvious mistakes and omissions in the original score (including the lack of high-key in the original score of Chinese opera and instrumental music) have also been partially proofread according to the sound.
