This is what I live 4 the awesomeness of Eastern culture,I love Peking Opera,its just makes my mouth water =P

[ebdance1]

I heard they start training from when they are like 9 years old. It's crazy what they can do! I am so amazed!

[ligfsing]

stupid foreigner who cannot understand eastern art should keep quiet.

[ruzickaw]

@ligfsing There is nothing to understand, these are just empty forms. Maybe chinese are too stupid to do a better theater without so much noise.

[HamburgerSaga]

@ruzickaw Please respect other people's culture. Chinese opera is a huge part of their culture. If you do not like, do not watch these empty forms.

[yellowfellow]

holy shit

[icecoldtea]

aren't you so freaking cool learn to shut up because people take stuff liek this seriously and it takes alot of hard work to pull off what they did so if you don't like it why did you search for it. nobody thinks your cool

[jltdotse]

Why i searched for it? well a friend of mine was in China and told me about the horrable Peking Opera so I had to look it up.

Did i ever think I was beeing cool? No, I was just expressing my opinion wiht some strong words bro.

que superiores son estos actores

[nocorroconsuerte]

que buen video, me gustaria saber en donde consigo videos que muestren entrenamientos, o una opera completa.

[isprotocol12345]

It seems reasonable to use the term(s) germane to one suggested here. As I myself was introduced to people as "former Peking Opera Singer", my American friends would ask me to do "O Sole Mio" or "Nessun Dorma".I see the need to re-define the term to make Jingju distinctive and culturally unique from Puccini's pieces. Jingju is the term I prefer and would agree with your suggestion. New definition and re-defined terms are certainly good places to start!

[JamesSchirmer]

For future making of Chinese Xiju videos I'd liek to know if anyone else agrees with using Xiju (theatrical performance), in place of opera. I say this because opera is an artform developed in the west and Chinese theatre was not inspired by opera but was developed in different areas of China. Instead of BeiJing opera, use Jingju. What are people's opinions on that topic?

[2003JL]

FYI: Jackie Chan learned everything he knows by spending his childhood in a peking opera school with Sammo Hung(Martial Law), Yuen Biao(the prodigal son), Yuen Wa and Siu Qu(Kung Fu Hustle).

[shandarr]

I don't know enough about Chinese opera to comment, but I have to say that I have never seen better acrobatic performances than those of the Chinese. 3:01-3:13 blew my mind. How many consecutive backflips did that man do??

[emmepem2]

PART FOUR

The Monkey King's magic wand throws back the swords of almost any number of enemy soldiers.

His somersaults and intricate steps entrance the audience, while his complete effrontery ever reduces them to mirth.

I was in a second hand bookstore were i found a book from 1957 with allllll the info about peking opera!

so if you want to know some thing maybe i can help you!

PART TWO ( SECOND PART)

peaches reserved for the birthday of the heavenly queen.

He continues by swallowing the most precious elixer of life, and then finally retreats back to his mountain-cave home

[emmepem2]

PART THREE

There follows a great stir in the court of heaven. All kinds of important figures, such as the dragon king, the gods of Thunder and Lighting, lear their arms to attack Sun and capture him. But the Monkey host and the Monkey king are to mutch fot them all and they are defeated.

A rollicking tale wich Peking opera does full justice to!

[emmepem2]

PART TWO

impressive title in heaven but no real duties.

Then because of not being invited to a feast of the fairies, he starts out on an escapade of insubordination by eating the sacred

[emmepem2]

DIsturbance in heaven (PART ONE)

One of the most fascinating bits of people's literature in china is the novel : hsi Yu Chi" ( Pilgrimage to the west) From amongst his stories have come the themes for many a drama, one of the most popular being the tale of the Monkey King creating a dsiturbance in heaven.
