Notes of Peking Opera: Peking Opera (also known as Peking Opera), Beijing was formerly known as Peking, so it was also called Ping Opera in the Republic of China for a while, and it was one of the Chinese opera types. It is distributed all over the country with Beijing as the center. In the mid-nineteenth century, Peking Opera merged Hui Opera and Han Opera, and absorbed the advantages of Qin Opera, Kunqu Opera, Bangzi, Yiyang Opera, etc. It was formed in Beijing . After its formation, Peking Opera gained unprecedented prosperity in the Qing court. The accent of Peking Opera is dominated by Xipi and Erhuang, mainly accompanied by Huqin, gongs and drums, and is regarded as the quintessence of China.
A peasant/farmer army led by the good guy against an imperial army led by a sort-of-bad guy? Is this based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He was born a peasant, but from around 1360 to 1368 he gathered and organized huge peasant armies that rebelled against the reigning Yuan Dynasty, comprised of hated Mongol overlords. This tale is highly nationalistic, with the Chinese nation vanquishing foreign rulers and establishing a native dynasty. I wonder if this opera is based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor?
Can anyone recommend more Beijing Opera with translations and/or explanations? I never could get behind Beijig Opera, because most of the time I had no clue what's going on lol The subtext helps immensely. Thanks for the upload!
If you look up "nikhi chau"'s RUclips channel, they've posted a couple of full Beijing Operas with English translations of lyrics on screen. I've been watching them for a class project I'm doing on the topic-- looking up the synopses of the operas and watching with subtitles has really helped me enjoy them alot more (: Link --> ruclips.net/channel/UC1Y55WqXd-IqV0KMzdJRUyA
ruclips.net/video/zHwe_usuUeE/видео.html this is a documentary about Peking Opera and Master Mei lan fang. There are many movies about master Mei lan fang. One of my favourite one called Farewell My Concubine. Actually, this is a history story. Master Mei wrote a repertoire about this history story 'Farewell My Concubine' in late 1920 which can represent whole idealism of Mei's beauty. ruclips.net/video/eh5h9G2gz8Q/видео.html.

In battle scenes, four flags are worn to indicate that the character is fully armed and ready for the battle. Besides being a reference to command flags awarded to generals in the past, they also serve to underscore the general’s authority. Flags are thought to have come from history, when generals would give a pennant to their messengers as a token of authority to verify messages. Another theory is that they represent the army behind the general, which involves numbers far too great to appear on stage. (internet)
You really need to be athletic for Chinese-style opera. No fatsos or corpulent people like in European-style opera. LOL. That being said, it's nice to get the English subtitles. Now I understand what the hell is going on. I can read a few Chinese characters here and there, but with Chinese subtitles it's so hard to figure out anything because they go so fast!
I dont knownwhat They are doing im from Philippines and my mapeh teacher bought me here Can I ask a question? What is the story all about give me a brief answer thank you
The Cantonese folk opera has a little bit different style in music. Its drums beat louder than in Beijing opera, and it sounds like the new year lion dance. And the dialect is obviously different
