Expanded Information:

Peking Opera Stage Art in the literature, performances, music, singing, gongs and drums, The Peking Opera stage art, in all aspects of literature, performance, music, singing, gongs and drums, make-up and face painting, through the long-term stage practice of countless artists, constitutes a set of mutually restraining and complementary rhythmic and standardized programs. It is very rich as an artistic means of creating a stage image, and its usage is very strict.

It is impossible to complete the creation of Peking Opera stage art without mastering these programs. Since the Peking Opera entered the court at the beginning of its formation, it made its development and growth different from that of local operas. It is required to express a wider field of life, to portray more types of characters, and to demand more rigor in the comprehensiveness and completeness of its skills, and more in the aesthetics of its creation of stage images.

Of course, at the same time, it also correspondingly makes its folk local flavor weakened, pure and simple, rough style features relatively thin. As a result, its performing art tends to combine the real and the imaginary with the expressive techniques, and maximizes the limitations of the stage space and time, in order to achieve the artistic realm of "passing on the spirit in the form, and the spirit in the form". Performance requirements for delicate and delicate, everywhere into the play; singing requirements for melodious and gentle, voice and emotion; martial arts theater is not to win the fiery and fierce, and to "martial arts theater singing" see good.
