Pear Garden (Peking Opera Embroidery) Ultra 12-month Verso Hardback Dayplanner 2025 (Wrap Closure)

The dramatic art tradition of opera traces its roots to the earliest periods of ancient China. During the Tang Dynasty (618 907), the Emperor Taizong founded an opera school called Liyuan (Pear Garden). Chinese opera reached its pinnacle under the Qing court (1644 1911), giving birth to what is known as Peking Opera.
