Entertainments in Suzhou
Popular Activities Suzhou Pingtan Suzhou Pingtan is a cover term for two forms of art performed in the local dialect, Suzhou Pinghua (Suzhou Story-Telling) and Suzhou Tanci (Suzhou Ballard-singing). Pingtan performance is composed of four parts, namely "speaking, teasing, music-play and singing" (shuo, xue, tan and chang). The music is played by the actor or actress to accompany his or her pipa (lute) and the sanxian (three-stringed zither). Other things used as props include a piece of wood for calling special attention, a folding fan and a handkerchief. The contents are usually from traditional stories of different lengths. Popular among all classes in the society, Pingtan is celebrated as the best voice in China. Kunqu Opera Kunqu Opera has a history much longer than Beijing Opera. It is held in great respect and is regarded as the sister opera of Beijing Opera. Kunqu was shown to the royal or wealthy families only before. Its music is much softer and similar from play to play. The dialogue is more poetical and refined. Kunqu is famous for its music and its poetical style of wording rather than other styles. Most of the stories in Kunqu are romantic. It is rare to have any military roles or acrobatic actions in a play. Many famous Beijing Opera players were also great performers of Kunqu Opera. Skill in both operas was a remarkable respect of achievement. It was common for a joint performance in Beijing Opera or Kunqu Opera which involved actors and actresses from both sides. The dancing and movement of a role is gentle and closely connected with the player's singing. The music instruments used for Kunqu are different from Beijing Opera. Perfectly matching the poetry style of the play, Flute is used as the main accompanying instrument instead of something with strings. Others are bamboo-pipe-composed Sheng, Er Hu and Pi Pa.
