Personal realization
In the early stage of Peking Opera, a generation of old artists, represented by Mei Qiaoling, opened a chapter in the art of Peking Opera. The Mei School art initiated by Mei Qiaoling has made outstanding contributions to the perfection and development of Peking Opera performance art, and has also become an important founder of Mei School.
Mei Zhufen, the son of Mei Qiaoling, the second generation successor of Mei School, inherited Mei Qiaoling's singing style well, and he made great contributions to the inheritance of Mei School art.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Mei Lanfang, the grandson of Mei Qiaoling, inherited and developed the Mei School art. At that time, there were four famous artists in the history of Peking Opera, namely "Sung Hoon", which made the development of Peking Opera reach its peak and was an important symbol of Peking Opera's prosperity.
Mei Lanfang founded the Dan School from the Mei School, and the best performance of Mei Lanfang in Peking Opera is Dan, so Mei Lanfang is the first person to establish an art institution in China.
