What is the Opera Song Plate

The opera song is an important part of the musical art of Beijing opera, which was gradually formed along with the occurrence and development of the opera. Each song has a fixed name, number of lines, sentence pattern (including the number of words of varying lengths, the level of the sound of the words, etc.), as well as the style, number of plates, key and so on, and the meter is quite strict.

Most of the tunes are used as accompaniment for the performance of the body parts. In Kunqu, the tunes are used as accompaniment for the singing and the body parts, and there is also a lot of singing in Peking Opera that is accompanied by the tunes.

Some of the Peking Opera tunes I know are: "Little Open Door", "Ten Thousand Years of Happiness", "Willow Shaking Gold", "Goat on the Hill", "Nezha's Order", "Pond Makeup", "Flower Clapper", "Oriental Praise", "The Little Mill House", "Haiqing Song", and "The Deepest Night", among others
