The largest Chinese opera form. It is extolled as “Oriental Opera”. Having a history of more than 200 years. It is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms. Although it is called Peking Opera, the origins of Peking Opera are not in Beijing but in the provinces of Anhui and Hubei. In general, the roles on the stage are divided into four categories: Sheng, Dan, Jing, painted-face and Chou. Each character has a different age, gender and social status. The famous opera at home and abroad Huangmei Opera originated from tea picking songs (采茶歌) in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, finally formed and popular in Anhui Province. It was spread to Anqing City, Anhui Province by victims of floods and famines from Hubei Province. As a matter of fact, Huangmei Opera wasn’t recognized by people over the country till the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In addition to traditional Chinese stories, there are also some foreign classic dramas performed in it, such as Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (《无中生 有》), which has achieved success. Huangmei Opera enjoys a good reputation both at home and abroad. The opera is getting more and more popular in the youngYue opera is also called Shaoxing opera. It is one of the five operas in China. Since 2006, it has been one of the first national non-material cultural heritages (国家非物质文化遗产). Yue opera appeared in Sheng County, Zhejiang Province in the Qing dynasty, and then it became famous in Shanghai in the 1920s.

The actors sang and spoke in strange ways and their clothes looked “ancient”. That was until last year, when I saw a video of an actress singing pop songs in a Peking Opera style. I started thinking the traditional art form was really cool. My story might help explain why the new Chinese drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (《永夜星河》)is so popular among young people, both at home and abroad. Although the show is set in ancient times, it develops in a game-like way. The female lead Ling Miaomiao finds herself inside a fantasy novel. To get back to the real world, she must finish many tasks. When I first saw her struck by lightning (被雷击中)—and the words “The End” appear on the screen—I laughed out loud. It felt like I was playing a game myself! The drama also uses modern language. Ling sometimes says things like “What? Did I break the law?” or “How much did these special effects (特效) cost?” These words fit the character and add fun to the show. This show is an example of pop culture’s role in spreading Chinese culture. The Global Times (《环球时 报》) calls online novels, online dramas and online games the “three carriages (三驾马车)” of this effort. The key is to interest young people first. If they are curious (好奇), they will want to learn more. Now, people are talking about the traditional skills behind the props (道具) in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. They are also learning more about Chinese folk stories like Shanhaijing because of the show. This is the power of pop culture. 1.What changed the writer’s view about Peking Opera?

It’s been mentioned again and again since the film Chang An came out. 30,000 Li from Chang’an, the film Chang An’s Chinese name, is taken from a poem by Chen Zilong. The film Chang An shows some of China’s most well-known poets. It is set in the Tang Dynasty. It mainly tells the stories of Gao Shi and Li Bai, describing their struggles to make themselves and society better in the TangDynasty. In the almost three-hour-long film, 48 well-known Tang poems are mentioned. The film has won praise for making people interested in traditional Chinese poetry (诗作). It has received more than 170,000 reviews and got an average score of 8.3 out of 10 on the website Douban, better than 93% of the animated (动画) films on the website. In one scene of the film, Li Bai’s well-known poem Bring in the Wine is read as he stands beside the roaring Yellow River and then flies into the sky on the back of a crane (鹤). The scene is the most popular according to the viewers. “The most exciting thing is realizing that these great poets were not just familiar names but real people,” said a moviegoer. Xie Junwei, the film’s co-director, hopes the film can increase awareness (意识) of traditional Chinese culture among young Chinese. “We tell the stories of these famous people to young people through an animated film so that they can have a deeper understanding of our classic works,” said Xie.
