Glossary
Traditional Chinese music is more melodic rather than harmonic. Chinese vocal music probably developed from sung poems and verses with music. Instrumental pieces played on an erhu or dizi are popular， and are often available outside China， but the pipa and zheng music， which are more traditional， are more popular in China herself. The guqin is perhaps the most revered instrument in China. The zheng is most popular in Henan， Chaozhou， Hakka and Shandong. The pipa believed to have been introduced from the Arabian Peninsula area during the 6th century and adopted to suit Chinese tastes， is most popular in Shanghai and the surrounding areas.
Beijing opera， still referred to by many English-speakers as Peking opera， is one of the most highly developed and best known of Chinese opera forms both in China and abroad. Before the 20th century， Beijing opera was not commonly performed outside Beijing and a few other centres. Its enormous popularity in the early 20th century， however， carried it to the status of "national opera". Most traditional Beijing opera music belongs to either the xipi or erhuang tune families. The combination of these two families was so integral to the opera's identity that in the past， before it was called Beijing opera （jingxi orjingju）， the genre was known as pihuang opera （pihuangxi）， combining the pi from xipi and the huang from erhuang.
