Peking Opera is also known as "National Opera", also known as "Pi Huang". It consists of two basic tunes, "Xipi" and "Erhuang", as its musical material. It also sings some local tunes and Kunqu opera tunes. It was formed in Beijing around 1840 and has a history of 200 years. Its performance art tends to combine virtual and real expression techniques, transcending the limitations of stage space and time to the greatest extent, in order to achieve the artistic realm of "conveying the spirit with form and having both form and spirit". Peking Opera is one of the major operas with national influence. With its comprehensive range of skills, mature performances and magnificent momentum, it is the representative of Chinese opera and is regarded as the "quintessence of the country".

It's absolutely beautiful and you can learn more about Peking Opera.
This book reminded me of the times I went to the theater with my grandfather as a child. The author's description of old Beijing opera is very vivid, making me feel like I have returned to the lively stage again. Moreover, this book not only talks about opera, but also talks about a lot of the connotations behind it, which gave me a deeper understanding of our traditional culture. I think this book is worth reading, especially for those who like opera.
