Reader comments

This book reminded me of my childhood experience of going to the theater with my grandparents. The performances on the opera stage are always so wonderful and fascinate me. This book introduced the history and characteristics of opera in detail, giving me a deeper understanding of opera. The connection between primitive singing and dancing and sacrificial activities mentioned in the book also reminded me of some traditional rituals in the family. I think this book is not only a work about opera, but also a window to understand traditional Chinese culture. Recommended to friends who like opera or are interested in traditional Chinese culture.

I'm Not a Drama God

I want to read a book similar to "I'm Not a Drama God". I have a play to sing to the ghosts and gods. The ghosts and gods have gone home. The topic is novel and the plot is simple, crude, easy to understand and not cliche.
