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 "clapper".

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headdresses, with the bride often wearing a red dress and a white veil.

The music used in Shanxi Clapper Opera is also distinctive, featuring a combination of percussion instruments and stringed instruments.

One of the most famous pieces of music from this genre is "The Butterfly Lovers", which tells the tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

The opera has been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2010.
