7.The Beijing Youth Daily on Thursday called attention to the struggles of traditional operas in China.The newspaper said the number of unique traditional Chinese opera styles had decreased to 286from 368in 1959,with three disappearing every two years on average.Altogether,74opera styles had only one troupe left,and most were at the risk of fading away.
Xie Boliang,a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts,said,"It is well known that people should be held accountable for soil erosion,but why do we feel at ease when traditional operas fade away?"
Overwhelmed by modern culture and entertainment such as movies,TV programs and pop music,traditional Chinese operas have been severely marginalized.Despite being included on the state-level Intangible Cultural Heritage list,some operas still have no place to perform.
