Peking Opera, known as Beijing Opera in English, is a form of traditional Chinese theater that has been performed for over two centuries. Originating from the imperial courts of the Qing Dynasty, it has evolved into a rich and diverse art form. Peking Opera is characterized by its elaborate costumes, facial makeup, and stylized movements. The performances often include singing, speaking, fighting, and acrobatics. It is a blend of music, vocal performance, mime, dance, and acrobatics. The roles in Peking Opera are categorized into four main types: Sheng (male roles), Dan (female roles), Jing (painted face male roles), and Chou (clown or comedic male roles). Peking Opera not only entertains but also conveys profound cultural and historical values through its narratives and performances.
