It has collected 498 scripts of traditional Peking Opera, all of which have been collected since the Qing Dynasty, and were contributed by Beijing opera groups, old artists, their families and script collectors in the mid-1950s. This is by far the most comprehensive collection of Peking Opera scripts. The scripts included in this set of books are sorted according to the dynasties reflected in the plot, and the unknown dynasties are listed separately. On the basis of keeping the original script as much as possible, the editor sorts out several different versions of the same script, or asks the old artists in Beijing to help modify it. The orphan books that have been lost for a long time and cannot be verified for the time being are still published as they are. These plays not only comprehensively record the characters' lyrics and chanting, but also vividly record the performances, music, singing, gongs and drums and other information, so they have high historical and artistic value. The collection of traditional Peking Opera scripts (***30 volumes) is the best collection for Peking Opera lovers, opera researchers, opera groups and libraries at all levels.
1. This book has 30 volumes and contains 499 Peking Opera scripts. According to their respective plots and dynasties, from far to near, the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties 1 1 chapter was formed, and scripts with unknown plots and dynasties were classified as1chapter. In each chapter, all scripts are sorted according to the position of the first pinyin letter of the title of the play in the syllable list; The title of the play with the same initials is the second.
Sort the position of the first pinyin letter of the word in the syllable list, and so on.
Secondly, in the division of the above chapters, the reason why the Zhou and Qin Dynasties were unified but the Qin and Han Dynasties were not: there were few characters belonging to Qin in this set of books, but many characters belonging to Han Dynasty, so the Zhou and Qin Dynasties were unified and the Han Dynasty was divided into chapters. In addition, the unification of Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties is the same: the plots of many scripts in these two chapters took place in the period of regime change, so it is difficult to distinguish them clearly, so they are combined into one.
Third, the plots of some scripts in this set of books are based on widely circulated folk stories. The public has a perennial understanding of the dynasties to which these stories belong, but it is not necessarily accurate. This set of books is not a monograph on historical research, so the plot dynasty is determined according to the principle of conformity. On this basis, we classify the plots of related scripts based on the story of hegemony between Chu and Han, the story of the Three Kingdoms and the story of the Five Dynasties in the Tang Dynasty into Han, Three Kingdoms and the Five Dynasties respectively.
4. This set of books introduces the outlines of various scripts, which was revised by experts and scholars from Beijing Academy of Art in September 2009.

(3) The characters included in Bayuwei are qupai, tune, plate and gongs and drums with Beijing opera stereotypes.
