The stage art of Zhihua Bai Yutang Peking Opera in literature, performance, music, singing, gongs and drums, makeup and facial makeup has formed a set of standardized, standardized, mutually restrictive and complementary programs through the long-term stage practice of countless artists. As an artistic means to create a stage image, it is very rich and its usage is very strict.

If you can't master these programs, you can't complete the creation of Peking Opera stage art. Just as Peking Opera entered the court at the beginning of its formation, its development and growth are different from local operas. It is required to show a wider range of life, create more types of characters, be more comprehensive and complete in skills, and have higher aesthetic requirements for its stage image. Of course, it also weakens its folk local flavor, and its simple and rude style is relatively weak.
