Visit the Tangshan Museum and appreciate the charm of the three flowers of Jidong.

When visiting the Tangshan Museum, you must appreciate the three flowers of Jidong, which is the charm of Tangshan.
The three flowers of Jidong are divided into Tangshan donkey skin shadow, Pingju opera for a hundred years, and Leting big drum. These three different cultures are all national intangible cultural heritage. Donkey skin shadow is centered on ancient Luanzhou, and later spread widely. It was popular in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is mainly operated by two people, divided into upper and lower lines, divided into holding, sticking, hitting, pulling, and singing. Five jobs require very skilled cooperation.
Pingju opera is the second largest drama in Chinese opera, and it is also evolved from the small tune "Dui Kou Lian Hua Luo" originated in Luan County. Later, it entered Tangshan. The most famous ones are "Hua Wei Mei" "Yang Sanjie Gaozhuang" "Qin Xianglian" and other works, with new Fengxia, Xiaobai Yushuang and other actors performing for the best.
Leting big drum is based on the quyi of Leting County and other places. The museum has specially opened a rehearsal and performance venue for Pingju opera and Leting big drum for local quyi enthusiasts to entertain and practice, and also provides a place for tourists to appreciate.
Tangshan is not only the spirit of earthquake resistance and disaster relief, but more importantly, it is rooted in the cultural charm of the people. You must appreciate the three flowers of Jidong when you go to the Tangshan Museum.
