Ping Opera
评剧
Pingju dates from the end of Qing and the beginning of the Republican Era. It originated from a form of folk opera in Hebei, known as lianhualao and later absorbed singing and acting techniques from Hebei Clapper Opera, Beijing Opera, Luanzhou Shadow Plays and Leting Dagu, a kind of verse narrative sung to the accompaniment of a small drum and other instruments. Pingju is popular in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Northeast China. Its tunes, dialogue and acting are deeply rooted from people's life so that it is lively and easy to understand.
评剧从始于末和民国时期。它源于河北民间戏曲形式，以莲花落而著名，后来又吸收了唱歌和表演技巧的河北梆子，京剧，滦州皮影和乐亭大鼓，在小鼓等其他乐器的伴奏下，唱出一种叙事诗的韵味。评剧流行于北京，天津，河北和中国东北。它的曲调，对话和演技深深植入人们的生活中，因为它很活泼生动，易于理解。
