<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Kunqu.jpg|thumb|200px|Kunqu]]<br /> '''Kunqu''' (Kunshan opera) ('''昆曲''') originated in the [[Kunshan]] area of [[Jiangsu]] around the end of the [[Yuan Dynasty]] (1271-1368) and the early Ming. <br /> <br /> Kunqu singing is gentle and clear, its tunes are beautiful and refined, and its stage movements resemble dancing. <br /> <br /> Kunqu reached its peak of popularity at the end of the Ming and the early period of the Qing, exerting tremendous impact on other types of opera. <br /> <br /> Around the middle of the [[Ming Dynasty]] it spread to the north and gradually developed into a more vigorous, rugged type of opera known as northern ''kunqu''.<br /> [[category:opera]]</div>
