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 "qiu sao".

The performers wear elaborate costumes and headdresses, with the young beauty costume being one of the most popular.

The red dress worn by the actress is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture.

The qiu sao vocal style is also used to convey emotions and tell stories through song.
