There are many opera arts in China, but the only one that has become the quintessence of the country is Peking Opera. In fact, this is because Peking Opera is the opera with the most Chinese characteristics. Through continuous fusion and hybridization, it has become the most representative opera. When you mention Peking Opera, you will think of traditional Chinese culture, which is representative.
Since the 55th year of Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty (1790), the four major Anhui troupes, namely Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, which were originally performed in the south, have successively entered Beijing. Cooperating with Han Opera artists from Hubei, they also accepted some repertoires, tunes and performance methods of Kun Opera and Qin Opera, as well as some local folk tunes. Through continuous exchanges and integration, Peking Opera was finally formed.
Peking Opera has a set of standardized artistic expressions in various aspects such as literature, performance, music, and stage art. The singing style of Peking Opera is a variation of the Ban style, with Erhuang and Xipi as the main voices. The accompaniment of Peking Opera is divided into two categories: the literary stage and the martial arts stage. The huqin is the main instrument in the literary stage, and the drum board is the main instrument in the martial arts stage. The roles in Peking Opera are divided into roles such as Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou, Za, Wu, and Liu. The latter three roles are no longer exclusive. Each profession has its own set of performance routines, and each has its own unique skills in singing, chanting, and beating. Peking Opera takes historical stories as its main performance content. There are more than 1,300 traditional repertoires, and more than 300 to 400 are frequently performed.
Peking Opera is popular all over the country and has a wide influence, and is known as "National Opera". The Peking Opera performance system named after Mei Lanfang is regarded as a representative of the Eastern drama performance system and one of the three major performance systems in the world. Peking Opera is an important expression of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and many of its artistic elements are used as symbols of traditional Chinese culture.
The reason why Peking Opera is called the quintessence of China is that it represents the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Peking Opera has been refined by artists of all generations, absorbing the essence of many local operas, and gradually formed an inherent and comprehensive performance program. The variety of Chinese operas is unique in the world, so Peking Opera is called the quintessence of the nation, and by extension, it is the general representative of Chinese opera art.
