The Guangchang Meng Opera, dating back to the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), features the legend of Mengjiang Crying at the Great Wall. It was popular in Guangchang county and is over 500 years old. Its aria is in high pitched music, a singing style characterized by the very high, forceful falsetto in which it is sung. [Photo/Wang Jian]
