Description: Peking opera is a performance art incorporating singing, reciting, acting, martial arts. Although widely practised throughout China, its performance centres on Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. Peking opera is sung and recited using primarily Beijing dialect, and its librettos are composed according to a strict set of rules that prize form and rhyme. They tell stories of history, politics, society and daily life and aspire to inform as they entertain. The music of Peking opera plays a key role in setting the pace of the show, creating a particular atmosphere, shaping the characters, and guiding the progress of the stories. 'Civilian plays' emphasize string and wind instruments such as the thin, high-pitched ''jinghu ''and the flute ''dizi, ''while 'military plays' feature percussion instruments like the ''bangu ''or ''daluo. ''Performance is characterized by a formulaic and symbolic style with actors and actresses following established choreography for movements of hands, eyes, torsos, and feet. Traditionally, stage settings and props are kept to a minimum. Costumes are flamboyant and the exaggerated facial make-up uses concise symbols, colours and patterns to portray characters' personalities and social identities. Peking opera is transmitted largely through master-student training with trainees learning basic skills through oral instruction, observation and imitation. It is regarded as an expression of the aesthetic ideal of opera in traditional Chinese society and remains a widely recognized element of the country's cultural heritage.

Chinese shadow puppetry - video
UNESCO: Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2011
URL:http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/RL/...
Description: Chinese shadow puppetry is
a form of theatre whereby colourful silhouette figures perform
traditional plays against a back-lit cloth screen, accompanied by
music and singing. Puppeteers make the figures from leather or paper
and manipulate them by means of rods to create the illusion of moving
images. The puppeteers' skills of simultaneously manipulating several
puppets, improvisational singing, and playing various musical
instruments are handed down in families and troupes, passing from
master to pupil. Puppetry spreads knowledge, promotes cultural values
and entertains the community, especially the youth.
