Features: This volume is the first part of "Selected Famous Singing Tunes of Peking Opera," including the roles of old scholars and painted faces, featuring thirty-two actors and eighty-two singing pieces. The selections for dan roles, old dan roles, and young scholars are planned to be divided into two additional volumes, forming the middle and lower parts. When selecting singing pieces, this book strives to consider the differences in schools, actors, plays, board tones, and even regional variations. The musical scores in this book adopt the commonly used notation methods familiar to the public. At the end of each musical score, we have written brief introductions regarding the plot, actors, schools, and singing characteristics.
