Features: Chinese opera culture holds an important position in the world's cultural treasury. It is both a spiritual treasure of our nation and a shared spiritual wealth of humanity. Its role is not limited by time or space. Therefore, it can be confidently asserted that on Chinese soil, no era will abandon opera, and the broad masses cannot do without it. It should be believed that even in the 22nd and 23rd centuries, and even in more distant times, the drums and strings of Chinese opera will continue to resonate. Moreover, in distant foreign lands, one will still be able to witness the dance and songs of Chinese opera. As a non-physical heritage of human culture, it will forever be preserved and endure. We have compiled this textbook based on the research achievements of predecessors, briefly organizing and summarizing them. It is intended as a common course for various departments and disciplines in opera schools and universities. It still needs to be gradually revised and improved through continuous teaching.
