Artistic & Historical Background:          Listen
Chinese Cantonese Opera is a traditional art form that has been passed down for generations in Guangdong Province.

It is known for its elaborate costumes, intricate makeup, and unique vocal style.

One of the most iconic elements of Chinese Cantonese Opera is the Distress Female Garment, also known as the Butterfly Dance Peng Ying.

This garment is designed to represent the pain and suffering of a female character who is being tormented by male characters.

The Butterfly Dance Peng Ying is often worn by female performers during scenes where they are being attacked or humiliated.

The costume itself is made of silk and features intricate embroidery and beading.

It is typically worn with a matching headdress, which adds to the overall effect of the performance.

The Distress Female Garment is just one example of the rich cultural heritage that Chinese Cantonese Opera embodies.

Its intricate designs and symbolic meanings have helped to shape the art form into what it is today, and continue to captivate audiences around the world.
