I like how they showed the farmer rebels' complete victory at 15:53. It's like their morale is so high and the enemies are so disoriented that they are just styling on the imperial forces by that point.

I always have been interested in Chinese Opera, but since I'm not able to understand Mandarin or Cantonese, I couldn't pick up all the details in the body language, gestures and simbols involved in the performance. Many thanks for the explanation.
Can anyone recommend more Beijing Opera with translations and/or explanations? I never could get behind Beijig Opera, because most of the time I had no clue what's going on lol The subtext helps immensely. Thanks for the upload!
If you look up "nikhi chau"'s TH-cam channel, they've posted a couple of full Beijing Operas with English translations of lyrics on screen.

th-cam.com/video/zHwe_usuUeE/w-d-xo.html this is a documentary about Peking Opera and Master Mei lan fang. There are many movies about master Mei lan fang. One of my favourite one called Farewell My Concubine. Actually, this is a history story. Master Mei wrote a repertoire about this history story 'Farewell My Concubine' in late 1920 which can represent whole idealism of Mei's beauty. th-cam.com/video/eh5h9G2gz8Q/w-d-xo.html.

Notes of Peking Opera: Peking Opera (also known as Peking Opera), Beijing was formerly known as Peking, so it was also called Ping Opera in the Republic of China for a while, and it was one of the Chinese opera types. It is distributed all over the country with Beijing as the center. In the mid-nineteenth century, Peking Opera merged Hui Opera and Han Opera, and absorbed the advantages of Qin Opera, Kunqu Opera, Bangzi, Yiyang Opera, etc. It was formed in Beijing . After its formation, Peking Opera gained unprecedented prosperity in the Qing court. The accent of Peking Opera is dominated by Xipi and Erhuang, mainly accompanied by Huqin, gongs and drums, and is regarded as the quintessence of China.
@@yihanzheng3071 I know the Peking operas, but this person is referring to the live action movie that came out a few months ago which everyone hates. The live action film is depicting her actual life, but not in a opera way, if they did they might get more hate because then the timeline would be wrong.
A peasant/farmer army led by the good guy against an imperial army led by a sort-of-bad guy? Is this based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He was born a peasant, but from around 1360 to 1368 he gathered and organized huge peasant armies that rebelled against the reigning Yuan Dynasty, comprised of hated Mongol overlords. This tale is highly nationalistic, with the Chinese nation vanquishing foreign rulers and establishing a native dynasty. I wonder if this opera is based on the rise of the Hongwu Emperor?
@@betapicts Symbolized the emperor? Not necessary, as one of these two is a revolt leader. He has nothing to do with the emperor. And there are also dragons on his flags.
2:01 and 4:38 I cannot help but feel that this leitmotif has a pretty fire beat to it, I love it! Since I am a layman when it comes to Jīngjù, I have no idea on what this leitmotif is to represent, my guess is that it refers to climbing the mountain or a military drum beat.
There are multiple instruments being played, but I have a feeling you're asking about the pitch-bending gong. It's a great sound. Just look up "Pitch-Bending Chinese Gong", you'll find plenty of examples.
In battle scenes, four flags are worn to indicate that the character is fully armed and ready for the battle. Besides being a reference to command flags awarded to generals in the past, they also serve to underscore the general’s authority. Flags are thought to have come from history, when generals would give a pennant to their messengers as a token of authority to verify messages. Another theory is that they represent the army behind the general, which involves numbers far too great to appear on stage. (internet)

The Cantonese folk opera has a little bit different style in music. Its drums beat louder than in Beijing opera, and it sounds like the new year lion dance. And the dialect is obviously different
