There are more than 300 traditional plays of Errenzhuan. Among them are Blue Bridge, The West Chamber, Bao Gong's Compensation, and Yang Bajie's Spring Tour. There are several excellent works, such as Sister Wang Sifu (also known as Wrestling Frame), Dream of the Red Moon, and Ding Lang Seeking Father. There are also unveilers such as A Cup of Return, Saw Cylinder, Cold River, Lama and Second Aunt Visiting the Sick.
Errenzhuan's singing is called "Nine Tones, Eighteen Tones and Seventy-two Hi", which is more than 300 * *. Suona and Banhu are the main musical instruments of Errenzhuan. In addition to bamboo boards (two big boards and five knuckles), clapping instruments also use jade boards, also called Yu Zi (four bamboo boards, playing two pieces in one hand). The performance of Errenzhuan has "four merits and one skill". The four skills refer to "singing, speaking, doing (or pretending) and dancing", as well as "stunts" such as handkerchiefs, fans, big boards and jade cards.
The roots of Errenzhuan are rooted in the hearts of farmers in Northeast China. Some farmers said, "I would rather give up one meal than two people." Today, not only in the vast rural areas and towns in Northeast China, but also in parts of Hebei and Inner Mongolia, there are duet performances.
