Question

Performers in this genre imagine “exchanging breath” and “stealing breath” into a cavity (-5[1])that fills their whole body. A character in this genre has a red face with an inverted gourd on it as part of its “personality makeup.” Before modern-day, men typically performed dan roles (10[1]-5[1])in this genre, such as “verdant-robed (-5[1])girls” who move their water sleeves. (-5[1])An effort to “proletarianize” this genre into “a revolutionary model” included the creation of The Legend of the Red Lantern. Male actors in this genre (10[1])may blow dust to change the color of their beards (10[1])while playing acrobatic wǔshēng characters.
