Jiāng Qīng - 2025 NAFTA

Packet 6: Bonus 2

This patron commissioned an adaptation of the opera Sparks Amid the Reeds, but her husband changed its title because he found it unrealistic. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this patron who commissioned five operas, two ballets, and one symphony with populist themes. An orchestral excerpt of another opera depicts this woman dancing a foxtrot.

ANSWER: Jiāng Qīng [or Madame Mao, Lǐ Jìnhái, Lǐ Shūmēng, Lǐ Yúnhè, Lǐ Hè, Lǐ Jìn, Lǐ Rùnqīng, or Lán Píng; prompt on Lǐ or Lán; prompt on Mao’s wife; reject “Mao”] (The leadin refers to Shājiābāng. The unnamed opera is Nixon in China.)

[10e] Jiāng Qīng adapted the “model play” Sparks Amid the Reeds from Shanghai opera into a style of opera named for this northern city, which is the dominant form of opera in China.

ANSWER: Beijing [or Peking; prompt on jīngjù or jīngxì by asking, “what city is that named after?”]

[10h] Description acceptable. Chinese opera uses a detailed “code” based on this visual feature to represent the morality and personality of male jìng roles. A different type of this visual feature characterizes chǒu roles.

ANSWER: face paint [or descriptions of the color of the performers’ faces; accept Huāliǎn; accept face makeup; accept painted masks or colorful masks; prompt on paint or Huā; prompt on color by asking, “of what?”; prompt on masks by asking, “what characteristic of the masks?”]
