Chinese - Beijing / Peking opera (京剧): Yandang Mountain (雁荡山) - complete 

episode 82 of where quarantine has brought me

no way did yun jin just got the whole tradition alive again

I love the extravagant costumes, the stylized fighting, and the talent of the acrobats. The captions helped a lot of what was going on.

Yunjin leak brought me here-

I got lost here because of Genshin. But this Opera is really awesome

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.

I came here because Yunjin

I love the explanations on screen ❤ I've only watched them for the music but the explanations help me enjoy this so much more!

the fight choreography is fantastic. such a physically demanding performance

Yunjin and her flags!

I can't imagine how long they've been training for this.

Quite a fascinating performance, I absolutely loved it. I would have been so lost without the text explaining what was happening, so thanks for throwing that in there.

Imagine the rehearsing, memorizing, training, and dedication that this takes!!! God!! This is incredible. The best classical cinema I've ever seen.

Thank you for the explanations! What an amazing performance

I hope all theaters were never forgotten and they need to keep it through generations

Some words are pronounced differently in Peking Opera compared to Mandarin (not because of accent, but for some very complex reason), so thanks for the subtitle~ Even as a person born and live in Beijing for nearly my life time, this is the first time that I starts to appreciate this (for my IB music hw lolllllll

10:07 Yunjin

This is more than acting and opera and storytelling and poetry and music. It is an art of it's own.

This was great! Helps so much to understand what’s going on.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! How I love Peking Opera! It's the art form that I most love!

The gong puts me in a trance

Woah amazing. This brought tears to my eyes. 😢

The battle scenes are so cool... i almost forgot that i have a test T^T

love seeing people here cause they wanted to be i’m here for a late assignment so my mom won’t beat my ass for an f in music

OMG the body language is so impressive

This is incredible!!

This is what the live action Mulan film should of been taking inspiration from.

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.

shoutout to the drummer… i would’ve had a stroke by now…

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!

i'm here because of the Yunjin leaks

Meus deus do céu! O que foi isso que acabei de assistir? Perfeição!

its ..... its ..... its LU BU !!!!!!!!

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 & Beijing / Peking opera (京剧), good job. Together we are strong :) :)

A M A Z I N G !!!

The story sorts of built up until pass 8.00 to an impressive acrobats work. 👏

Impressive!

The Art of War is still alive in Peking Opera.

fantastic!

15:59 if these were just performers, imagine the shaolin monks

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.

Good performances.

AWESOME

That part at 7:28 onward is good. They did well.

What do the golden flags on his back mean?

why the 4-5 flags attached on the back?

You really need to be athletic for Chinese-style opera. No fatsos or corpulent people like in European-style opera. LOL. That being said, it's nice to get the English subtitles. Now I understand what the hell is going on. I can read a few Chinese characters here and there, but with Chinese subtitles it's so hard to figure out anything because they go so fast!

Zilong Skin Chanbanpo hahahaha ML

This is so very non-Manchu. Very Cantonese in my opinion

شيوعية كيوت وللحس ونشم الريحة بس البسي مطاط رومانسي ونشبع كنس في الحمام

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤ LOVE FROM DALLAS TEXAS USA 🇺🇸 CHINESE CULTURE 👍 CCP👎

Genshin Impact brought me here

Humans are weird man…

BoOOoOOoooring !!

Pork fried rice

Obviously this was written after Mao's Cultural Revolution. I doubt this is an authentic performance.

This is supposed to be enjoyable? To western eyes, it's just a lot of noise and highly stylized gestures. Compare this to any of the Mozart operas - I know which one I would take!
