The difference between traditional and modern Peking Opera

Different content, different music.

1, the content is different: traditional Peking Opera shows historical themes, such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Guillotine Case", "Four Langs Visiting the Mother", etc., while the modern Peking Opera reflects the reality of the theme, such as the revolutionary modern Peking Opera "Wisdom Takes the Tiger Mountain", "The Tale of the Red Lanterns", "Shajiabang" and so on.

2, the music is different: the traditional Peking Opera's music is based on the "three big things", which is relatively single, while the modern Peking Opera has enriched the music, introduced Western instruments, and increased the theme of the music mode.
