Brief introduction of Mudan Pavilion

Peony Pavilion is the representative work of Tang Xianzu, a playwright in Ming Dynasty. It describes the love story between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, and embodies the young men and women's pursuit of a free love life. Once the play came out, it produced many legendary effects. According to records, a young girl was deeply moved after watching her play, so that she was so angry that an actress in Hangzhou was so emotional that she died on the stage while searching for a dream. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Peony Pavilion has almost become synonymous with Kunqu Opera-Kunqu Opera stands tall and peony is in full bloom.
