What are court performances and folk operas?

The Qing Dynasty witnessed unprecedented development of traditional drama, folk art and acrobatics in China. Shengjing (Shenyang), as the capital of the early Qing Dynasty and the capital after the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of arts have also reached a fairly prosperous level. There are both local national art and folk art from inside Shanhaiguan Pass, which take root and blossom outside Shanhaiguan Pass.

In terms of opera, the court celebrations in the early Qing Dynasty often performed zaju and Bai Juyi, and folk operas were also very active, with more than a dozen operas. Bouncing opera, a native opera in northeast China, is a combination of opera, rap and dance. There are three kinds of singing methods: solo, duet and opera. During Yongzheng period, Tiaotiao was born in Jinzhou area, and during Daoguang period, it has blossomed everywhere in the black land of Northeast China. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Bangzi Opera was introduced into Shengjing, with Shanshan Bangzi (now Shaanxi Bangzi) and Zhili Bangzi (now Hebei Bangzi) first, and it spread all over the northeast in the late Qing Dynasty. During the Guangxu period, Beijing's Pihuang Opera (now called Peking Opera) was introduced to Shengjing, and artists performed in major tea gardens in Shengjing from Shenyang Palace Theatre. Bangzi and Pi Huang often perform on the same stage. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lotus in eastern Hebei went through customs, first to Yingkou and then to Shenyang. Lotus drop, commonly known as "Luozi", is known as Pingqiang Bangzi, Tangshan Luozi, Fengtian Luozi and Pingju. In addition, some puppet shows and shadow plays are also deeply loved by people.
