27、的发展历程中，京剧在唱词、念白及字韵上越来越北京化，使用的二胡，京胡等乐器，也融合了多个民族的发明，终于成为一种成熟的艺术。 “生、旦、净、丑”是什么？其实不过是角色分类。“生”是男性正面角色，“旦”是女性正面角色，“净”是性格鲜明的男性配角，“丑”是幽默滑稽或反面角色。每种角色又有表明身份的脸谱、扮相等，只要演员一上场，一望便知。,在“京剧”的“票友”中有许多大名鼎鼎的人物，其中包括清朝的皇帝载恬，他不但会唱戏，还能司鼓，并且是京、昆、弋腔的多面能手。著名的慈禧太后则是一个大戏迷，在今日颐和园内还保留一座中国最大的戏楼，该戏楼高21米，共有三层，可见她在京剧上花了不少的功夫。,Homework,Make sentences to ask for, give and refuse permissions using the expressions weve learned.,WELL DONE!,THANK YOU,
