Qin Xianglian, also known as My Beauty Case, is one of the most popular plays on the traditional opera stage in China. According to records, the original version of the play was the Bangzi play "Gong Ming Jue". See the drum characters in Qin Xianglian. Chaozhou Opera, Henan Opera, Han Opera, Chu Opera, Pingju Opera, Tongzhou Bangzi, Shaanxi Opera, Shanxi Opera, Hebei Bangzi and Wu 'an Pingdiao all have this repertoire. Cantonese Opera has Pipa Ci, Yi Opera has Pipa Banquet, and Sichuan Opera has Chen Shimei denying his ex-wife.
The play was widely performed by Bangzi and Pihuang Drama Club. 1953 China Pingju was transplanted and performed, which was very popular. The script was edited and adapted by Qiu Xin and Zhuang Liangsheng, directed by Zhao and designed by He Fei. Xiaobai Yu Shuang plays Qin Xianglian and Wei Rongyuan plays Bao Zheng.
Since then, the Pingju Opera Troupe and many operas have transplanted this book. The transplanted version of Beijing Peking Opera Troupe is the most famous, playing Qin Xianglian, Tan Chen Shimei, Ma and Qiu Bao Zheng, which is why it is the most popular version of Beijing Opera now.
What I want to say in particular is a 10% discount on "Killing the Temple" by Hokuriku Bangzi, and the version co-starred by Yang Zhongyi and Jia Fentao, which is absolutely wonderful. The rhythm is dripping and the style is stirring, which really has the artistic charm of shocking people and making people cry. This drama was praised by experts as "the best in the world", and the two leading actors also won the Plum Blossom Award for Chinese Drama.
