Now there are many subcategories in Chinese theater, such as Beijing Opera, acrobats, clowns, shadow theater, music and acrobatics, etc. evolved in the Shang Dynasty, with many works to these elements. Performing arts flourished during the Yuan Dynasty. The structure began to evolve and gain recognition social throughout China. Yuan style is reflected in the Beijing Opera is alive until that date.
Chinese theater arts consist primarily of four skills. They are the voice, dance, singing and acrobatics. The dance is performed in conjunction with the performance and combat is a part of the acrobats. In all these, the basic emphasis is in the beauty of movement and the actors are supposed to master all four of them because they are an integral part of Chinese theatrical arts. Some actions are a code and can be interpretation on a situation. Like when an actor enters a circular motion, which means you are traveling a long distance, in other cases if the actors in scenario right fabrics and headwear means that the character will say something important.
The Tang Dynasty witnessed the rise of puppets shade. Reached such heights that an acting school called The Garden of the pears was started by Huang Ming who produced the musical drama and the actors in this school were known as Children of the Pear Garden. There are two subcategories of shadow puppetry, Cantonese and Peking. The difference was in the making of the puppet. Cantonese puppets were higher with the characters and the symbolic colors according to the functions they represent. They were made of thick leather and the rods are attached perpendicular at the head of the puppet. Pekingese puppets were more delicate and small, brightly colored. They were made of fine leather and transparent rods attached to the neck the puppet who were bent at ninety degrees and ran parallel to the body of the puppet. The story was generally the same for both Cantonese and Pekingese. Chinese puppeteers believed in an ancient superstition that the puppets come alive at night if the puppet's head remained intact with the body. So the head and body separated and stored in two different cases.
The shows are usually presented in the rectangular platforms surrounding the audience on three sides. Is a curtain decorated Shoujiu that bisects the curtain. The stage is sparsely decorated with more emphasis on actors wearing bright clothes and makeup and the number of supports therefore less used during execution. The dress varies according to the role they are playing. The king and his family have yellow dress in a high-ranking warrior wearing a suit purple. Mang or tunic python is the name given to this kind of costume. A senior person wears clothes of red color with rich ornaments often in the form of a dragon and other inferior characters wear a blue cloak. A young person wearing white clothes, has a personality other older white, olive or brown and the support of the actors wear robes black.
The music is played with instruments such as Jinghu, a small two-stringed, violin and Ruan high sharp peak, a plucked lute with the circular body. The action begins with the severe beating of drums known as Xiaolu and Dalu. There are three classifications of the tunes being played. Aria the first class with two sub-categories and Xipi Erhuang. Xipi is used to express the strongest expressions. Qupai is the second class, which basically consists of instrumental songs representing the occurrence of a major event like a festival or party, or the entry of a major character. drum pattern is the third class, which includes fixed music melody.
The theme of most of the works are not realistic and illusionistic especially involving Chinese folktales.
