What's the difference between Xiao Dan and Hua Dan?

Hua Dan is one of the five traditional operas (birth, Dan, purity, ending and ugliness). Every actress is a female role. Hua Dan's role is relatively young, her personality is lively, her singing is tactfully charming, and her image is pretty and gorgeous, which is different from that of Zheng Dan (also known as Tsing Yi, who is good at singing, and her role image is mostly middle-aged women, and her singing is mostly bitter and cold) and Wu Dan (a female martial arts character, who mostly sings little but plays a lot, with tight clothes and her arms on her back). Wudan's Peking Opera Blues is one type.

If Xiao Dan plays a big drama, such as Peking Opera, she is a young supporting actress in some scenes, such as the "matchmaker" in The West Chamber, which is Xiao Dan. This role is younger than Hua Dan, but it is a supporting role, but there are many scenes. Singing, reading and playing.

However, in many local operas, such as Huangmei Opera and Yue Opera, Xiao Dan is a general term for many actresses-compared with other professions-such as the birth of roles, clowns and so on. Probably because these characters are petite and cute. Generally, it contains bitterness, Hua Dan (Hua Dan in these local dramas is mostly provocative), boudoir Dan (especially the darling girl and princess empress). ), Wu Dan (similar to other Wu Dan, but obviously not as good as Kung Fu) and Ugly Dan (also known as Cai Dan, who is ugly and humorous in Dan's role, such as ugly mother in Gaojia Opera).

Dan Jiao is the leading role of the troupe. Except for some martial arts dramas, such as Dingjun Mountain, all other dramas have roles, so many Hua Dan are "wrist players" in the troupe. Today's female caller is "Hua Dan in charge" (unimaginable, how boring and absurd a play without women is).
