What traditional operas will people perform during the Spring Festival? A. Huangmei Opera B. Sichuan Opera C. Pingju Opera D. Peking Opera

During the Spring Festival, the traditional drama that people will perform is Peking 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 spread all over the country and has a wide influence. It is called "National Opera", and it is also a traditional opera that people will perform during the Spring Festival. The Peking Opera performance system named after Mei Lanfang is considered as the representative of the oriental drama performance system and one of the three major performance systems in the world. Peking Opera is an important manifestation of China's traditional culture, and many artistic elements are regarded as symbols of China's traditional culture.

The expressive techniques of Peking Opera

The four artistic skills of Beijing opera performance: singing, reading, doing and playing are also the four basic skills of Beijing opera performance.

Singing refers to singing, while reciting refers to musical chanting, which complement each other and form a "song", which is one of the two major elements of the performing arts of singing, dancing and Peking Opera. Doing refers to the body movements, fighting and tumbling skills of dance, which are combined with each other to form a "dance", which is one of the two major elements of the performing arts of song, dance and Beijing opera.

Opera actors should be trained from these four aspects since childhood, although some actors are good at singing (singing to the old age), some are mainly engaged in work (Hua Dan), and some are mainly engaged in martial arts (Jason Wu). But every actor must have four basic skills: singing, reading, doing and acting. Only in this way can we give full play to the artistic characteristics of Beijing opera. Better express and portray all kinds of characters in the play.

Beijing opera is a highly comprehensive art, with singing, dancing, dialogue, martial arts and various symbolic movements.
