Chinese Shanxi Clapper Opera is a traditional form of Chinese opera that originated in the province of Shanxi.

It is known for its unique vocal style, which involves a high-pitched and nasal singing technique called "san guan" or "three sounds."

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headdresses, with the most famous being the "garment costume" worn by female actors.

This costume consists of a long, flowing robe with intricate embroidery and a matching headpiece.

The headdress is also an important part of the costume, often featuring feathers or other decorative elements.

San Guan Pai Yan is a specific type of Clapper Opera that features young female characters, often portrayed as beautiful and virtuous princesses.

These performances are characterized by their graceful movements and delicate singing, making them popular among audiences both in China and abroad.
