Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Chinese Shanxi Clapper Opera is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the province of Shanxi.

It is known for its unique vocal style, which involves a high-pitched and nasal singing technique called "shanxi" or "singing like a bird."

The performers wear colorful costumes and intricate headdresses, with the most famous being the "hua tan" costume worn by female actors.

The hua tan is a long, flowing dress with a high collar and intricate embroidery, often adorned with gold and silver threads.

The headdress is also elaborate, with feathers and beads adorning it.

The performers use a variety of props, including fans, swords, and other weapons, to enhance their performances.

The music used in Shanxi Clapper Opera is also distinctive, featuring a combination of percussion instruments and stringed instruments such as the erhu and pipa.

The opera tells stories from Chinese history and mythology, often featuring heroic characters and epic battles.

One famous story is the tale of the Monkey King, who was born from a stone and became the leader of the Monkey Tribe.

He later joined the Buddhist monk Tang Sanzang on a journey to India to obtain sacred scriptures.

Another popular story is the legend of the White Snake, a beautiful woman who transforms into a snake to save her lover from an evil sorcerer.

These stories are often accompanied by lively dances and songs, making Shanxi Clapper Opera a vibrant and entertaining cultural experience.
