In the golden age of drama, there were both folk theaters and royal theaters in the capital. The royal theater includes the theater in the palace garden and the stage in the private residence of the prince. The performance venues in the palace consisted of specialized theater buildings, theater halls, stages, and random gardens, courtyards, pavilions, and corridors.

This book tells the history and culture of old Beijing teahouses and old theaters, making me feel like I was in that era. The detailed descriptions in the book are very vivid, which gave me a deeper understanding of the traditional culture of old Beijing. It reminds me of Lao She's "Teahouse", both of which show the changes of the times and people's lives through the description of specific places. Recommended to friends who like old Beijing culture!
