Entertainment takes a variety of forms and occurs in many different places. Though many new forms of entertainment have been introduced or invented, traditional entertainments have still their followers. Culturally, operatic performance(戏曲) has perhaps been the chief form of traditional entertainment in China. Dozens of local operas are performed throughout this country, most in dialect and with distinctive local music and dance. Beijing Opera is the most widely enjoyed, which is also called “the national opera”. Other forms of entertainment in China are puppet theatres, the circus, and the acrobatic shows, all of which the travelers will find a totally enjoyable experience. Quyi, a collective term for a group of forms of folk arts like ballad singing, storytelling, amusing talk, etc, is also among the favorites of Chinese people’s leisure activities. Physical fitness has long been a concern when taking recreation. If an energetic visitor to China gets up early in the morning and goes out into any square or park nearby, he/she will find both young and old exercising Wushu, the traditional martial arts, from shadow-boxing to sword-fighting. Most of them are not meant to become a master of martial arts but to do so for recreation. In addition to Wushu, the traditional sports include shuttlecock-kicking, kite- flying, dragon-boat racing, and skating. Apart from games which require physical exertion, there are several ancient Chinese games which exercise mental faculties. Cards and chess are also very popular. Riddle guessing has been greatly enjoyed for a very long time.
