The Great Playwright: Tales from the Spirit Realm

A famous actor in a traditional opera troupe is commonly called a "da laoguan" in the south.

Southerners are devoted opera fans. Whenever something goes wrong, they invite a da laoguan to perform.

There is the "groundbreaking opera" to ward off evil and bless the digging of a well;

The "fire-gratitude opera" after a fire;

And the "corpse-suppressing opera" after a car crash or a body is pulled from a river...

But some operas aren't performed for the living...

That is called yin opera.
