Beijing opera influence

19 19- 1935 Mei Lanfang's overseas Peking Opera performance eliminated the prejudice of the West against China's dramas and even China people at that time, promoted the overseas spread of Chinese Peking Opera and promoted the cultural exchange between the East and the West. Chinese Peking Opera is a treasure of oriental art and shines brilliantly on the world drama stage.

After the founding of New China, the foreign exchange of Peking Opera was mainly organized by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Peking Opera became the cultural ambassador of the country.

China sent Beijing Opera Troupe to visit and perform all over the world, among which Mei Lanfang visited the Soviet Union three times on 1952, 1957, 1960 and 1956 visited Japan for the third time, which won great honor for China's traditional culture overseas.

His superb performance not only made the world sit up and take notice of China's "national quintessence" Peking Opera, but also had a far-reaching impact on Japanese, European and American drama and film art. Drama masters stanislavski and Brecht absorbed the essence of Mei Lanfang's performing arts in their creations.
