Basic Skills in Chinese Opera
Pear Orchard Opera
Liuzi Opera |
 Handkerchief skills are also body techniques originating from a song-and-dance duet popular in Northeast China and developed from Jiqu Opera. Traditionally, the handkerchief had either four or eight corners. It can be waved and turned inside out, shaken, held up, kicked, thrown, or propped up with a finger. In the past few years other kinds of handkerchiefs have appeared on the opera stage. |
