definition

Peking Opera, also known as Pingju and Peking Opera, is one of the quintessence of China and the most influential opera in China, with Beijing as the center and spread all over the country.

Since the reign of Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, four Anhui Hui classes, such as Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, which performed in the south, have successively entered Beijing, cooperated with the artists of Han opera in Hubei, accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu opera and Shaanxi opera, and absorbed some local folk tunes. Through constant communication and integration, Peking Opera was finally formed.

technique of expression

The four artistic skills of Beijing opera performance: singing, reading, doing and playing are also the four basic skills of Beijing opera performance.

Singing refers to singing, while reciting refers to musical chanting, which complement each other and form a "song", which is one of the two major elements of the performing arts of singing, dancing and Peking Opera. Doing refers to the body movements, fighting and tumbling skills of dance, which are combined with each other to form a "dance", which is one of the two major elements of the performing arts of song, dance and Beijing opera.

Opera actors should be trained from these four aspects since childhood, although some actors are good at singing (singing to the old age), some are mainly engaged in work (Hua Dan), and some are mainly engaged in martial arts (Jason Wu). But every actor must have four basic skills: singing, reading, doing and acting. Only in this way can we give full play to the artistic characteristics of Beijing opera. Better express and portray all kinds of characters in the play.

Beijing opera is a highly comprehensive art, with singing, dancing, dialogue, martial arts and various symbolic movements.
