China opera is a highly comprehensive Han folk art. This comprehensiveness is not only reflected in its integration of various art categories and its originality, but also in its exquisite and profound performing arts. Various artistic factors are closely combined with the performing arts, and all the functions of the opera are realized through the performances of the actors. Among them, the organic composition of singing, reading, doing and playing on actors is the most concentrated and prominent embodiment of the comprehensiveness of traditional Chinese opera.

Singing refers to the singing technique, which means "clear pronunciation and mellow voice"; Reading aloud, that is, reading aloud, is a recitation technique with strict requirements. The so-called "one thousand kilograms of spoken parts sings four or two"; Doing refers to doing work, which is the technique of figure and expression; Beating refers to the martial arts action in performance, which is a combination of dancing martial arts skills based on China traditional martial arts. These four performance techniques sometimes connect with each other, sometimes cross each other, and their composition depends on the needs of the plot, but they are all unified into a comprehensive whole, reflecting the beauty of harmony and full of musical spirit (sense of rhythm). China's traditional opera is a dramatic form with rich formal beauty centered on the comprehensive performances of singing, reading, doing and playing.
