Beijing opera

Peking Opera, also known as Pingju and Peking Opera, is one of the quintessence of China and the most influential opera in China, with Beijing as the center and spread all over the country.

Since the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong reign in Qing Dynasty (1790), four Huizhou classes, which were originally performed in the south, mainly Anhui artists, have successively entered Beijing, cooperated with Hubei artists, accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Shaanxi Opera, and absorbed some local folk tunes. Through constant communication and integration, Peking Opera was finally formed.

Beijing opera has a set of standardized artistic expressions in literature, performance, music, stage art and other aspects. The aria of Beijing Opera is a plate variation, with Huang Er and Xipi as the main vocals. Beijing opera accompaniment can be divided into two categories: piano field and martial arts field. Huqin is the main musical instrument in the field of literature, and drum board is the main musical instrument in the field of martial arts.

The roles of Peking Opera are divided into life, Dan, Jing, Ugliness, Miscellaneous, Martial Arts, Liu and so on. The last three lines are no longer independent. The roles of Peking Opera can be divided into four types: life, Dan, Jing and Ugliness. Every profession has a set of performance forms, and the skills of singing, reading and playing have their own characteristics. The main performance of Beijing Opera is historical stories. There are more than 1300 traditional plays, and more than 3400 are often performed.
