Arts of the theater - opera of Beijing

During the tenth eighth-diecinueveavo opera of Beijing of the century or known more commonly as opera of Beijing prospered in the dynasty of Qing. It had obtained such levels that were realized specifically in the real court and more ahead was made the public accessible. Natural to the province of Anhui and east Hubei the art more ahead made the jewel cultural of Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. During the period of time its fame crossed the Great Wall of China and the extension to the countries like Taiwan, Japan and America.

The movements of the dancers are very attractive. The dialogs, music, the song, the dance and the combat are used to the greatest possible extent to represent the argument that majorly tour around Chinese historical folklore and of history. The executants of the opera of Beijing use the colored equipment shining to be the center of the attraction in stage barely adorned. The dialect used in delivery of the dialog is archaic dialect. Since he has a great historical value the agents worked really hardly to respect and to continue the tradition. The training was begun in a very soft age that lasted by seven years in the permission of the parents. One hoped that to the student it paid again to the professor by the future operations. The daily routine consisted of the early ascent continued training in the action, the acrobatics, and the combat. The students majors are realized in the theaters of afternoon. On committing an error they punished to the whole handful of students with the bamboo cane but the training got to be smoother during 1900s. These schools were closed during the Japanese invasion in 1931 but restored again in 1952. The popular famous schools in this art are the school of mA Lianliang, the school of Qi Lintong and the school of Cheng Yanqiu. The deposit of this opera includes near thousand and four hundred works.

The four companies of Anhui were responsible for the birth of the opera of Beijing in the last 1700s. They were assembled by tropes of Hubei in 1800s early and came to his complete form in half-full from 1800s. This form of art is really a mixture of several forms and music of the dance with a unique twist. There are four main characters in the opera of Beijing. The Sheng is the masculine main paper with the Laosheng subtype, old and wise version, Xiaosheng, the version youngest and Wusheng, the version of the soldier. This character calm and is falsified and the suits used by them to be subtler. The character of Laosheng is categorisen more thoroughly like gongo of Guam, God of the war and Zhao Kuang-yin, the first emperor of the song dynasty. Xiaosheng sings in a noisy and gaudy voice.

In the later years, the agents of masculine sex began to paint their faces. These characters were known like Jing. They supported characters and they were generally powerful so they must have a heavy voice and an expression exaggerated. They give is the feminine lead and it is divided in five types. Laodan was played by the aged ladies, Wudan was played by the aged women average who represented married women, Daomadan was brave feminine soldiers, Qingyi was honest women and Huadan was young and innocent girls. The paper Qingyi and together Huadan is known like Huashan.

The masculine paper of the clown was well-known like Chou. It was a paper of smaller importance to add a certain humor to the serious scenes. The character of Chou secured as soon as an occasion to sing when it was compared to the opera of Kunqu that was its inspiration. Generally this form of art reduced in the voice and the song. The acrobatics came to its complete form in the opera of Beijing. The agents who could not sing much but knew so that the acrobatics were taken well easily in the execution company.

The drama was accompanied with music. Both diverse styles of the music that is played are Xipi, created by tropes of Anhui and Erhuang, created by tropes of Hubei. In agreement with this music, the earliest name of the opera of Beijing was Pihuang that changed according to the geographic location and the time. The melodies can be classified like the Aryans, fixed and percussion. He was well-known like Guoju in Taiwan.

One invited to the name and the fame gained company of Anhui after forming the opera of Beijing and to the several kingdoms that were realized. The widow of empress Cixi animated east art and made a great admirer of him. The execution companies consisted at the outset of only men because the emperor of Qianlong had prohibited agents of feminine sex. But in 1870s, a previous executant of the opera of Beijing, Li Maoer began a feminine company, that persuaded others to take the lead and finally the interdiction was raised in 1912.
