Yuan Drama
Deanna Solari
In the Yuan dynasty, Yuan drama was
very important it was a new kind of drama. Yuan drama had lot of acrobatics and
music in it just like the kin of theater before them in the Sung dynasty. It
spread across all over the world and is still popular today. The most common
know kind is Beijing Opera. The Yuan drama was meant for higher-class people of
the Yuan dynasty.
The performances were usually about
what happened to the Yuan Dynasty all together. That means all the peasants
famers and people who worked for the empoer. Yuan Drama usually got most of its
idea from the past Chinese dynasty but put their own new twist on it.
The act had four different parts to it.
Singing was one of the parts, the lead characters usually all sung the song
together. Acting was another part of it. The whole scene reflected the mood or
the feelings in the play so this was the most important part. All of the actors
had to do everything right of it just wouldn’t look good. They lead usually
played wealthy men or women and a story of finding love or more money.
