Which local opera in Jiangnan do you like best?

Kunqu Opera, also known as Kunqu Opera, is the most representative of the local operas in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is one of the oldest operas in China. It originated in the late Yuan Dynasty (/kloc-the middle of the 4th century), and it belongs to the category of Southern Opera, along with Haiyan Opera, Yu Yaoqiang Opera and Yiyang Opera. [ 1]

Kunqu opera was first popular only in Suzhou, but it began to spread and flowed into Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty. Later, because Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty loved Kunqu opera very much, it gradually became popular and became the most influential drama in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The biggest feature of Kunqu opera performance is its strong lyricism, tenderness and delicacy. It pays attention to the control of voice, rhythm and speed, articulation and articulation in singing, and it is very clever and harmonious with dance. It is a comprehensive art that combines singing, dancing, white and other performance means.

Although the aesthetic taste represented by Kunqu Opera is obviously in the south, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, its cultural identity does not belong to one place. It embodies the aesthetic pursuit and artistic creation of China literati.
