Kunqu Opera Peking Opera? If not, then what are they?

It's not the same. Peking Opera is a product of the fusion of the Hui and Han operas in Beijing. However, in the process of formation, the Han tune occupies an important position.

Strictly speaking, the vocal cavity, plate style, repertoire, character rhyme, etc., of the Han tune are the main "connotations" of Peking Opera that were later formed; The Hui class is the "carrier" for the Hui and Han actors to perform on the same stage. Therefore, experts have said: the class is called the Hui class, and the tune is called the Han tune.

Without the Hui class, the Han actors had nothing to rely on, and it was difficult for Peking Opera to be formed. However, there were no Han actors, only the Hui class, which lacked the main connotation of Peking Opera that was later formed, and it was still impossible to form Peking Opera. The Sanqing class entered Beijing in 1790, which was only a sign of the emergence of the carrier, and it was far from the emergence of a new opera, Peking Opera.

So we can't say vaguely that Peking Opera has been in formation for 200 years.

The first Han actor to enter Beijing was Mi Yingxian (also known as Mi Xizi), who was known for playing Guan Yu's yarrow, around 1800, and Zeng Chuntai Hui class for 20 years, but as a Han actor, after all, he was single-handed, and his influence was not extensive. A large number of Han actors entered Beijing one after another, between 1820 and 1832, and the famous ones included Wang Honggui and Li.

Sixth, Long Deyun, Tan Zhidao, etc., the most famous is the old student Yu Sansheng. These Han tune actors performed on the same stage as the actors in the Hui class, and the Hui tone actors mostly played Erhuang, Gao Pleica, Blowing Tone, Siping Tone, etc., and occasionally also played Xipi Tune, Kun Tone and Yiyang Tone; The Han tune actors played the Xipi tune and the Erhuang tune. The main components of the vocal cavity of Peking Opera are undoubtedly Xipi and Erhuang, from the later Peking Opera repertoire and vocal cavity, more are derived from Han opera, such as the current traditional opera "Drumming and Scolding Cao", "Wu Pen", "Selling Horses", "Touching the Monument", "Qionglin Banquet", etc., are all derived from Han opera.

There are also some repertoire originating from Hui Opera, and Lu Shengkui and others have written and performed many Peking Opera scripts (such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc.), which is already after the basic formation of Peking Opera.

To sum up, it can be seen that: first, the Hui class entered Beijing, but there was a carrier for the production of Peking Opera; Second, after the Han opera actors entered Beijing, they joined the Hui class and sang on the same stage with the Hui class actors, influenced each other, fused, and coupled with the Beijing pronunciation, it gradually became a new type of drama with a skin yellow system, but the repertoire and vocal cavity of Han opera are actually the main connotation of Peking Opera, so the entry of Han actors into Beijing is really an important step in the production of Peking Opera. Third, a large number of Han opera actors entered Beijing after 1820, and after nearly 20 years of integration and brewing, Peking Opera gradually took shape. The first generation of Peking Opera performers matured and was recognized around 1840.

This is the historical basis for the formation of Peking Opera that we believe is about 150 years old.

Peking Opera is the largest, most influential, and most complete opera genre in China.

Kunqu opera is the oldest opera in China and the only one that has been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

The two are two different types of opera, so it must not be said that Kunqu Opera is a type of Peking Opera, it is a type of opera.

The emergence and development of Peking Opera is inseparable from Kunqu Opera, first of all, the origin of Peking Opera is inextricably linked with Kunqu Opera

There are a large number of Kunqu opera singing voices and Kunqu opera performances in Peking Opera, and the foundation of Kunqu Opera is also a must for Peking Opera actors.

Each type of opera is divided into a number of lines according to the personality, gender and other personal attributes of the artistic image expressed, so Peking Opera is branched, Kunqu Opera is also branched, there is no reason. Kunqu opera is more complicated than Peking opera. It's an opera, and it's going to be a branch.

Peking Opera's ** can also be easily found on the Internet. One thing to say is that the development of Peking Opera is inseparable from Kunqu Opera, and the Erhuang singing tone of Peking Opera at the time of its origin is the best in Kunqu Opera, and many of the Peking Opera singing segments are also original Kunqu Opera.

The introduction of the specific two types of dramas is very detailed in the encyclopedia connected upstairs

Two different genres. The details are too long, give a**:

Peking Opera Kunqu Opera.

Peking Opera was developed from Kunqu Opera and Hui Opera.

Two different genres. But there is also the saying that Beijing and Kunming are not separated.

Kunqu Opera is a Peking Opera.

Kun Opera (Kun Opera), formerly known as "Kunshan Dialect" (referred to as "Kun Opera"), is an ancient Chinese opera vocal cavity and opera, and is now also known as "Kun Opera". Kunqu opera is one of the oldest operas in the traditional Chinese opera, and it is also a treasure in the traditional culture and art of the Han nationality in China, especially in the art of opera, known as an "orchid" in the hundred gardens.

Kunqu opera originated in Kunshan, Suzhou, in the 14th century, and was later improved by Wei Liangfu and others, and has dominated the Chinese opera scene for nearly 300 years since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Kunqu opera is a combination of singing, chanting, dancing, dancing and martial arts, etc., and is known for its elegant lyrics, tactful lines, and delicate performances, and is one of the genres of the Southern Opera system known as the "ancestor of a hundred operas".

Introduction to Peking Opera:

Peking Opera, also known as Ping Opera, Peking Opera, etc., is one of the quintessences of China and is the most influential opera genre in China, with Beijing as the center and all over the country.

Since the 55th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1790), the four major Hui troupes that originally performed in the south, such as Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai, and Hechun, which were mainly composed of Anhui artists, entered Beijing one after another, and cooperated with Han tune artists from Hubei.

Peking Opera has a set of standardized artistic expressions in literature, performance, stage art and other aspects. The singing cavity of Peking Opera belongs to the plate variant, with two reeds and Xipi as the main vocal cavities. The accompaniment of Peking Opera is divided into two categories: the Wenchang and the Wuchang, with the Huqin as the main instrument and the Wuchang as the main instrument.

This question is rather general and can only be summarized in a nutshell.

Let's talk about the easiest way to identify, so that the layman can understand it at a glance: you see that the repertoire is "The Peony Pavilion", the singing is soft, and only beautiful women and handsome guys are Kunqu Opera; You see that the repertoire is from the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Sui and Tang Dynasties... Handsome guys, beauties, old men, old women, and big flower faces, the singing is tactful, sonorous, and there are sentences close to Mandarin that can be understood, that is Peking Opera.

To put it more technically:

Kunqu Opera is the mother of a hundred operas, and many Peking Opera repertoire is transplanted from Kunqu Opera. Kunqu opera is mainly "Kun dialect", and the first composition of Peking Opera is "Xipi" and "Erhuang" as the basic tone. Historically, when Kunqu Opera was in decline, there was most of the repertoire of "Kunqu Opera Changed to Yellow", that is, it was changed from Kunqu Opera to Peking Opera.

The accompaniment instruments of Kunqu opera are mainly qudi, supplemented by sheng, xiao, suona, sanxian, pipa, etc. (percussion is available). Kunqu opera performances are characterized by strong lyricism, delicate movements, and a skillful and harmonious combination of singing and dancing. In terms of language, Nankun is dominated by Wuyun Suzhou vernacular, and Beikun is dominated by Dadu Yunbai and Jingbai.

Peking Opera is accompanied by Huqin (Jinghu), gongs and drums, Jingerhu, Yueqin and so on. There are four skills and five methods in performance, namely singing, reading, doing, beating, hand, eye, body, method, and step.

What is the difference between Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera? Kunqu opera is more feminine than Peking Opera, but Peking Opera is more majestic.

In terms of singing methods, Kunqu Opera is a Kun dialect, also known as a water mill cavity, which sounds soft and long, and Peking Opera is a Pi Huang cavity, which sounds hard. In terms of script, Kunqu Opera is a set of music cards, each song has a fixed number of words and a flat line, and the melody is also fixed, just like filling in the Song words, while Peking Opera is a free body with a plate cavity, and after the words are written, the singing voice is designed according to the flat words of the play.

Peking Opera is a later Hui and Han confluence, Kunqu Opera is relatively simple, but tactful.
