Features: The "Collection of Repertoires of Chinese Opera Schools" is a key book publishing project under the 11th Five-Year Plan of the National Development Plan, encompassing representative repertoires of various Chinese opera schools. It is the most comprehensive collection of Chinese opera scripts since the founding of the People's Republic of China, featuring the widest range of schools, the most numerous repertoires, and the most detailed arrangements.

The repertoire arrangements adopt a full-text recording method, complete with script lyrics, singing styles and accompaniment, gong and drum scores, physical performance, costumes, and makeup. This collection includes representative works of Yu Shuyan, such as "Taiping Bridge," "Hongyangdong," "The Legend of the Broken Pot," and "Storytelling with a Broken Arm," as well as "Crying at the Ancestral Temple" by Wang Xiaonong. This book adopts a full-text recording method (complete with costumes and makeup, script lyrics, singing styles and accompaniment, gong and drum scores, and physical performance scores), including the scripts of Yu Shuyan's "Taiping Bridge," "Hongyangdong," "The Legend of the Broken Pot," "Storytelling with a Broken Arm," and Wang Xiaonong's "Crying at the Ancestral Temple."
