The stage art of Peking Opera has formed a set of regulated and standardized programs in literature, performance, music, singing, gongs and drums, makeup, facial makeup and other aspects through the long-term stage practice of countless artists. It is very rich as an artistic means to create a stage image. And the usage is very strict. If you can't master these programs, you can't complete the creation of Beijing opera stage art. Because Peking Opera entered the court at the beginning of its formation. It makes its development different from local operas. It is required to show a wider range of life. The types of characters to be created are more demanding on the comprehensiveness and integrity of its skills. The aesthetic requirements for it to create a stage image are also higher. Of course, at the same time, it also weakens its folk local flavor accordingly. Simple and rough style features are relatively weak. Therefore, its performance art tends to be a combination of reality and reality. It transcends the limitations of stage space and time to the maximum extent. It has reached the artistic realm of vivid form and both form and spirit. The performance requires exquisiteness and delicacy, and it is necessary to enter the show everywhere, and the singing requires melodious euphemism. Martial arts do not win by being fierce and brave, but by "singing martial arts".
