What is the meaning of Hebei Opera

Hebei Opera is a Chinese opera genre, which was once known as Beijing Opera, Zhili Opera, and Wei (Tianjin Wei) Opera until 1952, when it was named Hebei Opera. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Shan-Shan Bangkas were introduced to Hebei, and after musical adaptation and evolution, they were formally formed during the Daoguang period. From the 1870s to the end of the 1920s, it was the heyday of the Hebei Opera, during which the main groups were Ruishenghe, Yanshunhe, Qingshunhe, Chongyahe, and Kuidehe, and the actors were Tian Jiyun, Guo Baochen, Hou Junshan, Xiao Xiangshui (Zhao Peiyun), and Jin Gangdrill (Wang Yingxian), and so on. In the middle of Guangxu, they performed in the same class with the two reeds, commonly known as the two pots, which opened the wind of the performance of the two reeds on the same stage, and after 1929, the performance was gradually becoming sluggish, and after 1949, the people's governments of various places set up the class societies and operatic schools, which created the conditions for the recovery of the Hebei Bangkok. The Hebei Opera's singing music is in the form of plate changes, and the main instrument is the banhu, with a strong and mournful raw voice, a vigorous and high Dan voice, a rough and bold net voice, and a jumping and teasing ugly voice. The footwork and performance programs are generally the same as those of Peking Opera. There are more than 550 copies of the traditional repertoire, with "Qin Xianglian", "Baolian Lamp", "Du Shiniang" and other plays as its specialties.
