1.京剧是中国五大戏曲剧种之一，另外四种分别为越剧、黄梅戏、评剧和豫剧。 Peking Opera is one of the five major operas in China. The other four are Yue opera, Huangmei Opera, Ping opera and Henan opera. 2.梅兰芳先生是世人景仰的京剧艺术大师，他创造的独树一帜“梅派”艺术，在国内外享有盛誉。他所取得的辉煌成就，给我们留下了弥足珍贵的艺术遗产，他为中国戏剧艺术做出的杰出贡献，将永载戏剧史册。 Mr. Mei Lanfang is a Beijing Opera master admired by the world.

His outstanding contributions to Chinese drama will be forever recorded in the history of drama. 3.中国杂技大约在新石器时代就已经萌芽。秦统一中国后，吸收各国角抵的优点，形成了一种娱乐性的杂技节目——角抵戏。 汉代，角抵戏的内容更充实，品种更丰富，技艺更高超。到东汉时，则形成了一种以杂技艺术为中心，汇集各种表演艺术于一堂的新品种——“百戏”体系。 Chinese acrobatics began to sprout in the Neolithic age. After the unification of China, Qin Dynasty absorbed the advantages of Jiaodi from other countries and formed an entertainment acrobatic program called Jiaodi opera. In the Han Dynasty, the content of Jiaodi opera was more substantial, the variety was richer, and the skill was more excellent. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a new variety of "Baixi" system with acrobatics as the center and various performing arts in one hall was formed.--Hu Baihui (talk) 03:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

1. 京剧是中国影响最大的戏曲剧种，分布地以北京为中心，遍及全国各地。2006年5月，京剧被国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。然而，京剧发展当前存在一些问题：一是创作人才匮乏；二是缺乏固定的演出场所；三是经费投入不足。令人担忧的是京剧是否会像旧城区一样，成为中国疯狂的商业化和现代化进程的牺牲品。

Beijing Opera is the most influential opera in China, with Beijing as the center and all over the country. In May 2006, it was approved by the State Council to be included in the first national intangible heritage list. However, it has encountered some problems, including the lack of creative talents, fixed performance venues, and investment funds. The worry, though, is that, like the old neighborhoods, Beijing opera could fall victim to China’s rampant commercialism and modernization. --Li Liqin (talk) 03:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Yuan Tianyi 袁天翼

大约在新石器时代，中国的杂技就已经萌芽。原始人在狩猎中形成的劳动技能和自卫攻防中创造的武技与超常体能，在休息和娱乐时，在表现其猎获和胜利的欢快时，被再现为一种自娱游戏的技艺表演，这就形成了最早的杂技艺术。

Acrobatics sprang up in China around the Neolithic Age. The labor skills of primitive men formed in hunting and the martial skills and extraordinary physical strength created in the self-defense attack and defense were reproduced as a kind of self-entertaining game skill performance in the rest and entertainment, showing the joy of hunting and victory, thus giving birth to the earliest acrobatic art.--Yuan Tianyi (talk) 07:40, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

3.杂技艺术在中国已经有2000多年的历史。杂技在汉代称为“百戏”，隋唐时叫“散乐”，唐宋以后为了区别于其他歌舞、杂剧，才称为杂技。

Acrobatic art has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, which were called "Hundred Operas" in the Han Dynasty and "San Yue" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, they were called acrobatics in order to distinguish them from other songs, dances and performances.--Zhao Xiaoyan (talk) 08:14, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Zhou Yiwen 周艺文

1.京剧前身是清初流行于江南地区，以唱吹腔、高拨子、二黄为主的徽班。徽班流动性强，与其他剧种接触频繁，在声腔上互有交流渗透，因此在发展过程中也搬演了不少昆腔戏，还吸收了啰啰腔和其他一些杂曲。

The predecessor of Bejing Opera was the Anhui Opera combo, which was popular in Jiangnan in the early Qing Dynasty, and mainly featured by music for voices and blowing, the instrument high plectrum, and the erhuang tune. With its high mobility, frequent contact with other operas, and mutual communication and penetration of music for voices, the Anhui Opera also adopted a lot of elements of kunqu opera and absorbed lo lo tunes and other miscellaneous operas in the process of development.

2.梅兰芳的一生，体现了不断革新、精益求精的敬业精神，他将诸多艺术领域的创作思想融于了京剧艺术舞台表演之中，使京剧旦行的唱腔、表演艺术臻于完美的境界，成为旦行中影响深远的流派。形成独特的艺术风格。其中最能体现梅派艺术代表剧有《霸王别姬》《贵妃醉酒》《穆桂英挂帅》等。

Mei Lanfang's life embodied the dedication spirit of continuous innovation and striving for perfection. He integrated the creative ideas of many artistic fields into the stage performance of Beijing Opera, so that the singing and performing arts of Dan in Beijing Opera reached the perfect realm and became a far-reaching school. It has formed a unique artistic style.The most representative repertoires of the Mei School are "Conqueror Xiang Yu Parts with His Concubine", "The Drunken Beauty", and "Mu Guiying Takes Command".

3.汉代杂技的卓越成就，首先表现在它的各种节目已成系列，具备了后世杂技体系的主要内容，这在全世界各国的表演艺术中，恐怕是绝无仅有的。

The outstanding achievement of the Han dynasty acrobatics is first of all reflected in the fact that its various repertoires have become a series, possessing the main elements of the later acrobatic system, which is probably unique among the performing arts of all countries in the world.
