Features: Our publishing house has been compiling a series titled "Peking Opera Scores" over the years. This series selects plays from famous Peking Opera schools and publishes them in separate volumes. The content includes scripts, vocal scores (some of which are accompanied by piano scores), stage directions, and gong and drum scores. It serves as a practical manual for learning and staging Peking Opera and holds both practical and reference value. Since its publication, the series has been well-received by Peking Opera enthusiasts, with some even being used as teaching materials in opera schools. However, most of the books have been sold out, and readers have frequently written to request a new edition. To promote our nation's excellent traditional culture and to preserve the art of Peking Opera, while meeting reader demand and ensuring better preservation, we have slightly revised the original "Peking Opera Scores" and recompiled them into "The Complete Collection of Peking Opera Scores." Each volume will feature several selected plays, and we will also compile and publish previously unpublished works in due course.
