Think Peking Opera is all mystery and no fun? Think again! CGTN’s Nadim Diab just spilled the tea on how to unlock this vibrant art form – and we’re breaking it down like a TikTok tutorial. From backstage secrets at CMG’s new amateur program to decoding color-coded costumes, here’s your cheat sheet:
1. Follow the Face Paint Rainbow
Those wild makeup designs? They’re basically emojis IRL! Red = loyalty, white = shady vibes, black = total badass. Pro tip: Watch how performers flip their sleeves – it’s like ancient sign language!
2. Clap Like You Mean It
When the gong crashes or the erhu wails, that’s your cue to react! Peking Opera fans go harder than concert crowds – shout ‘Hao!’ (lit: ‘sick moves!’) when acrobats nail flips mid-song.
3. Swipe Right on Stories
Every show’s got OG drama – jealous generals, ghostly lovers, you name it. Download subtitled clips first (yes, it’s binge-worthy) to catch political roasts and romance that’d make K-dramas blush.
Ready to level up? Amateur performers are rocking CMG’s new training program – proof this 200-year-old art is getting a Gen-Z glow-up.
