What instruments are used to accompany Peking Opera?

Peking Opera was formed in Beijing during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Its predecessor was the Hui Opera, commonly known as the Leather Reed Opera. The singing style is basically Quanqiang, with Xipi and Erhuang as the main cadences. It is accompanied by orchestral instruments such as the jinghu, erhu, yueqin, sanxian, flute, suona, and percussion instruments such as drums, gongs, cymbals, and cymbals. It is performed with equal emphasis on singing, acting, reciting and playing, and mostly uses virtual program movements.

The roles of Peking Opera are divided into four major trades: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou, each with its own detailed division of labor.
