Beijing Opera
中国的英文Beijing Opera is a national treasure of China. The art started in the late 18th century and it combines singing, dancing, acting, talking, music and acrobatics. Actors play one of four roles: sheng, male roles; dan, female roles; chou, clown roles and jing roles with brightly-painted face masks. Each role has its own singing and acting styles.
In the early days, Beijing opera was most often performed on open-air stages in markets, streets, tea-houses or outside temples. The music had to be played loudly and the performers had to sing with sharp voices, in order to be heard over the crowds. Slowly, this kind of singing became a special style of Beijing Opera. And in early days, the stages of Beijing Opera were lit only by oil lamps, so the costumes of actors were in bright colors. In this way, the crowds would be able to see them clearly.
Paper-cutting
Paper cuts can be found in tombs of Northern and Southern Dynasty. By the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting has become an important part of everyday life. There are three types of paper cuts that people still use today: paper cuts for decoration, for religious purposes and for design patterns.
Paper cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. They are also used on presents. A present for people whose child has recently been born might show a paper cut of children, for example. Paper cuts which show the Chinese character for double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings.
Paper cuts used for religious purposes are often found in temples. They are also used as offerings to the dead. People to whom the dead person was related would make these offerings on special days and during festivals.
The third kind of paper cuts are those used to make patterns on clothing. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes. Dragons are very popular patterns for these
designs.
