you don't need pipa accompaniment.

Traditionally, the pipa is not used as accompaniment in Peking Opera. The main musical instruments of early Peking Opera were Jinghu, Yueqin and Sanxian, commonly known as Wenchang, with a small amount of suona. Mr. Mei Lanfang added the Beijing erhu to enrich the soundtrack of Dan Dan's singing, commonly known as the four major pieces of Wenchang. Mr. Cheng Yanqiu added sheng to enrich the music sung by Cheng School. But few Peking Opera troupes have pipa.

Introduction of Peking Opera

Huizhou businessmen are rich, and the success of business has aroused the upsurge of cultural consumption desire. With the development of social economy and the rise of Kunshan Opera, there are many classes to support their families, and they are trying their best to collect songs and dances for Qianlong, Xiajiang and Jiangnan, and they are willing to pay a lot of money to package the color arts of Anhui Opera, which objectively creates conditions for Anhui Opera to enter Beijing.

Huizhou merchants, who dominated the business circles in Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 5 years, are famous for their salt merchants, especially in Shexian county, Huangshan, where they are rich. With the development of social economy and the rise of Kunshan Opera, scholars and businessmen in Jiangnan and Jiangbei have raised family operas. Huizhou merchants who have made their mark in foreign business circles have followed suit.

The traditional Chinese opera troupe, which has been kept and used by a Huizhou businessman for a long time, is called Huizhou Class by outsiders. Huizhou merchants widely store family classes, and local operas along the Yangtze River in Anhui, including ancient Huizhou, have also begun to flourish. They sang Kunqu Opera, which was not harmonious with Wu Yin due to language differences, and inadvertently sang a little. Shipai tune, which was born in Huaining County, Anqing City, Anhui Province, is the most famous.

Huizhou artists went to Yangzhou with their local accent, and they were supported by Huizhou merchants. They either haunt the wharf street or are accommodated by Fu Jia, a Huizhou merchant. With the development of skills, the local accent gradually gained the upper hand.
