"Singing Masks" is a famous Peking Opera song, a song expression that cleverly combines Peking Opera tunes with pop music. The stories mentioned are:
1. The lyrics "Blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the royal horse" are about Dou Erdun, formerly known as Dou Kaishan, who was given a golden saddle and jade bridle by Emperor Liang Jiugong of the Qing Dynasty. Chasing the wind and chasing the moon, a thousand-mile horse goes to the paddock to hunt. After Dou Erdun found out the news, he sneaked into the royal stables alone, used incense to knock out the guards, killed the doorman with a dagger, and stole the royal horse. This move greatly encouraged the Lu Lin righteous men and dealt another heavy blow to the Qing court.
2. The lyrics "The red-faced Guan Gong battles Changsha" tells the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and ordered Guan Yu to attack Changsha. Guard general Han Xuan ordered Huang Zhong to go into battle, but his horse stumbled and Guan Yu released him. The next day of the battle, Huang Zhong shot an arrow at Guan Yu's helmet to repay Guan Yu for not killing him. Han Xuan angrily accused Huang Zhong of collaborating with the enemy and had him executed. Wei Yan returned with food supplies, killed Han Xuan, and surrendered to Liu Bei with Huang Zhong.
"The yellow-faced Dian Wei, the white-faced Cao Cao, and the black-faced Zhang Fei are called Chacha!" They are also classic characters in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
3. The lyrics "The purple king holds the pagoda, and the green devil fights the yaksha". He leads the Rakshasa and Yaksha and holds the stupa, so it is commonly known as the king holding the pagoda. The King of Pagoda is not the same as the King of Pagoda Li Jing in novels such as "Journey to the West" and "Deduction of the Gods". Li Jing is a literary re-creation of the King of Pagoda. King Tota Li in "Journey to the West" received a wishful golden pagoda with relics given by Tathagata Buddha, which resolved the old feud between father and son, so he was called King Tota Li.
4. "The golden monkey king, the silver monster, the gray elf laugh haha!" is also a classic story in "Journey to the West". Sun Wukong, one of China's famous mythological characters, was originally from Dongsheng China. The fairy stone was born since the beginning of the world. He led a group of monkeys into the water curtain cave and became the king of monkeys, revered as the "Monkey King". Later, under the enlightenment of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he protected Monk Tang in his quest for Buddhist scriptures. He defeated demons and demons along the way and was not afraid of hardships and hardships. After going through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, he finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved positive results, and was named the Fighting and Victorious Buddha.
