Research on the Script of Huazhou “Tiaohuapeng"

Abstract

The Huazhou Folk Dance "Tiaohuapeng" in Guangdong  is a national intangible cultural heritage. During the Cultural Revolution, all the masks, costumes, props, and written materials for the performances were destroyed. Only a hand-copied script was preserved. This script was copied in the early 1950s by the artists based on the script from the Qing Dynasty and is a precious historical relic. This article analyzes and studies the origin, the characteristics of the script itself, and its cultural value.
