| Video Discription | Chinese Traditional Art Culture Legacy: Discover the Magic of Cantonese Opera! #opera #chineseculture #chinesetraditionalculture #chineseart #chinesetraditionalart #Chineseartculture #chinesetraditionallegacy #chineselegacy Cantonese opera is one of the major categories in Chinese opera, originating in southern China's Guangdong Province. It is popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macau and among Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. Like all versions of Chinese opera, it is a traditional Chinese art form, involving music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics, and acting. Performers and roles Types of play There are two types of Cantonese opera plays: Mou (武, "martial arts") and Man (文, "highly educated", esp. in poetry and culture). Mou plays emphasize war, the characters usually being generals or warriors. These works contain action scenes and involve a lot of weaponry and armour. Man plays tend to be gentler and more elegant. Scholars are the main characters in these plays. Water sleeves are used extensively in man plays to produce movements reflecting the elegance and tenderness of the characters; all female characters wear them. In man plays, characters put a lot of effort into creating distinctive facial expressions and gestures to express their underlying emotions. Roles There are four types of roles: Sang (Sheng), Daan (Dan), Zing (Jing), and Cau (Chou). Sang The Sang (生; Sheng) are male roles. As in other Chinese operas, there are different types of male roles, such as: Siu2 Sang1 (小生) – Literally, young gentleman, this role is known as a young scholar. Mou5 Sang1 (武生) – Male warrior role. Siu2 Mou5 Sang1 (小武生) – Young Warrior (usually not lead actor but a more acrobatic role). Man4 Mou5 Sang1 (文武生) – Literally, civilized martial man, this role is known as a clean-shaven scholar-warrior. Actresses for close to a century, of three generations and with huge successes worldwide, usually perform this male role are Yam Kim Fai (mentor and first generation), Loong Kim Sang (protégée and second generation), Koi Ming Fai and Lau Wai Ming (the two youngest listed below both by age and by experience). Lou5 Sang1 (老生) – Old man role. Sou1 Sang1 (鬚生) – Bearded role Daan The Daan (旦; Dan) are female roles. The different forms of female characters are: Faa1 Daan2 (花旦) – Literally 'flower' of the ball, this role is known as a young belle. Ji6 Faa1 Daan2 (二花旦) – Literally, second flower, this role is known as a supporting female. Mou5 Daan2 (武旦) – Female warrior role. Dou1 Maa5 Daan2 (刀馬旦) – Young woman warrior role. Gwai1 Mun4 Daan2 (閨門旦) – Virtuous lady role. Lou5 Daan2 (老旦) – Old woman role. Zing The Zing (淨; Jing) are known for painted-faces. They are often male characters such as heroes, generals, villains, gods, or demons. Painted-faces are usually: Man4 Zing2 (文淨) – Painted-face character that emphasizes singing. Mou5 Zing2 (武淨) – Painted-face character that emphasizes martial arts. Some characters with painted-faces are: Zhang Fei (張飛; Zœng1 Fei1) and Wei Yan (魏延; Ngai6 Jin4) from Three Humiliations of Zhou Yu (三氣周瑜; Saam1 Hei3 Zau1 Jyu4). Xiang Yu (項羽; Hong6 Jyu5) from The Hegemon-King Bids His Concubine Farewell (霸王別姬; Baa3 Wong4 Bit6 Gei1). Sun Wukong (孫悟空; Syun1 Ng6 Hung1) and Sha Wujing (沙悟凈; Saa1 Ng6 Zing6) from Journey to the West (西遊記; Sai1 Jau4 Gei3). Cau The Cau (丑; Chou) are clownish figures. Some examples are: Cau2 Sang1 (丑生) – Male clown. Cau2 Daan2 (丑旦) – Female clown. Man4 Cau2 (文丑) – Clownish civilized male. Coi2 Daan2 (彩旦) – Older female clown. Mou5 Cau2 (武丑) – Acrobatic comedic role Thanks for watching! I hope you found this video informative and enjoyable.
