Answer:

Peking Opera, also known as Pingju, Peking Opera, etc., is one of the quintessence of China and the most influential opera genre in China. It is distributed in Beijing as the center and spreads all over the country.

Since the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1790), the four Anhui troupes, including Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai, and Hechun, which were originally performed in the south, have entered Beijing one after another. Artists of Han tune cooperated, and at the same time accepted some repertoires, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Qin Opera, and absorbed some local folk tunes. Through continuous exchanges and integration, Peking Opera was finally formed.

Peking Opera has a set of standardized artistic expressions in literature, performance, music, stage art and other aspects. The aria of Peking Opera is a variant of the ban style, with Erhuang and Xipi as the main aria. The accompaniment of Peking Opera is divided into two categories: Wenchang and Wuchang. Huqin is the main instrument in Wenchang, and drum board is the main instrument in Wuchang.
