Peking Opera is a traditional Chinese performing art that masterfully blends music, singing, acting, and acrobatics. Originating in the late 18th century, it quickly became China's most popular theater form. Renowned for its highly stylized movements, elaborate costumes, and striking facial makeup, Peking Opera uses distinctive gestures and unique vocal techniques to vividly express characters' emotions, social status, and personalities. In 2010, it was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. (Video source: Kuaishou)
