Kung Fu, (also known as Wushu or martial arts) is one of the most well known examples of traditional Chinese culture and has a history of thousands years. It is probably one of the longest lasting traditional Chinese physical activities which utilize both brawn and brain. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chen and Jet Li are well-known Kung Fu actors, who play an important role in popularizing the traditional Chinese Kung Fu throughout the world.

Peking Opera

Peking (Beijing) Opera is one of China’s most famous forms of ancient traditional theatre, developed in the 18th and 19th centuries. It combines elements of dance, mime, acrobatics and music as well as vocal performance. The form was extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty court and has come to be regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. Beijing opera features four main types of performers. Performing troupes often have several of each variety, as well as numerous secondary and tertiary performers. With their elaborate and colorful costumes, performers are the only focal points on Beijing opera's characteristically sparse stage. They utilize the skills of speech, song, dance, and combat in movements that are symbolic and suggestive, rather than realistic. Above all else, the skill of performers is evaluated according to the beauty of their movements. Performers also adhere to a variety of stylistic conventions that help audiences navigate the plot of the production. The layers of meaning within each movement must be expressed in time with music. Melodies include arias, fixed-tune melodies, and percussion patterns. The repertoire of Beijing opera includes over 1,400 works, which are based on Chinese history, folklore, and, increasingly, contemporary life. Check the Price Here.
