It is characterized by its unique vocal style, which involves a high-pitched and nasal tone, and its use of percussion instruments such as clappers and cymbals.

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headpieces, with the male characters often wearing long robes and intricate hairstyles.

One of the most famous characters in Chinese Bangzi Opera is Lao Sheng, who is often portrayed as a wise and virtuous man.
