热考素材 本土文化 Beautiful and smooth, Kunqu Opera is one of the most loved art forms in China. Born in Suzhou, Kunqu Opera grew rapidly during the Ming dynasty. This opera is special for the songs in Suzhou dialect, beautiful body movements, martial arts and dance. Kunqu Opera has a great influence on many different kinds of operas in China including Beijing Opera, so it is known as the mother of all Chinese operas.

Tang Xianzu, the well-known playwright in ancient China, is often compared to Shakespeare. Both of them are famous for writing plays. One of the classic works of Tang Xianzu is The Peony Pavilion.
However, at the end of the 20th century, Kunqu Opera was in a very difficult situation. The rise of other opera forms, the ups and downs of the society, the difficulty in learning Kunqu Opera and the retirement of many Kunqu Opera performers all led to its drop.
The turning point came on May 18, 2001, when UNESCO added Kunqu Opera to its list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity(人类口头和非物质遗产代表作). It not only brought Kunqu Opera to international attention, but also made Kunqu Opera popular again at home.
Kunqu is also changing with the times. New technologies like 5G holograms and interactive(互动的) shows are helping Kunqu become popular with young people and international audiences.
