About Peking Opera:

Applicant: Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province

Among the four famous dans in Peking Opera, the Xunzi school is unique. Song Changrong is the successor of the Xunzi school who formally worships Mr. Xunzi Huisheng as the teacher. He is the only representative of Qiandan and has the reputation of "living Hongniang". The form of Huadan created by him on the stage is the most charming and gentle characteristic of Xunzi school.

The unique "life oriented" performance form of Huadan of Xun school not only enriches the means of expression of classical opera, but also shortens the internal relationship between the transformation and development of classical opera and modern opera, which is of special significance to the study of the development history of Chinese opera. Song Changrong played a unique role in the retransmission of Xunzi school art. His disciples spread all over the country and made great achievements. Song Changrong has also been invited to perform and give lectures in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Canada and other countries on many occasions, playing an important role in cultural exchange in promoting Xun school's performing arts.
