Features: Cheng Pai singing style is a distinctive and uniquely characterized vocal art among the various Peking Opera schools, deeply favored by theater enthusiasts. Over the decades, Cheng Pai art has accumulated a rich repertoire, and in recent years, new Cheng Pai plays and singing styles have continuously appeared on stage, playing a significant role in inheriting and developing the Cheng Pai tradition. The accompaniment art of Cheng Pai singing style also differs from other Dan role schools. It exhibits distinct characteristics in aspects such as the patterns of interludes, the force of bowing, contrasts in dynamics, and the use of left-hand techniques. In recent years, books on Peking Opera vocal scores have become increasingly common, but accompaniment scores that combine both classic and newly created Cheng Pai play singing styles have yet to be seen. The publication of this book will fill this gap, and it is expected to be warmly welcomed and cherished by theater enthusiasts, especially those who are passionate about Cheng Pai.
