Include information about its origin, features, famous pieces and influences on other music types.Possible answer:Kun Opera: a short introductionKun opera is an artistic and elegant form of traditional Chinese drama. It is one of the oldest forms of opera still performed today and is our national treasure. It started in the late Yuan Dynasty and developed during the early Ming Dynasty, in the area around Kunshan, Suzhou.What makes the style unique is its smoothly flowing melodies, and Kun Opera is considerably softer than Beijing Opera. The tempo is slow, and brings to mind gentle waves on a lake. Another unique feature is that it is sung in a special stage dialect, based on the local dialect in Kunshan. The lyrics are similar to classical Chinese poetry.The Peony pavilion, first performed around 1599, is perhaps the most famous piece. It was written by the playwright Tang Xianzu, and tells the story of the 16-year-old girl DuLiniang who falls in love with the scholar Liu Mengmei in a dream. Other famous pieces include The peach Blossom Fan. The Palace of Long Life, The Western Mansion and The Legend of the White Snake.Kun Opera dominated Chinese theatre from the 16th to the 18th century and has influenced many other Chinese theatre forms, including Sichuan Opera and Beijing Opera. In 2001, UNESCO listed Kun Opera among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.To summarize, Kun Opera is a unique style of music with a long history. It is closely connected with Chinese literature and has played an important part in traditional Chinese culture.教学反思
