Pear Garden (Peking Opera Embroidery) Mini 12-Month Day-at-a-Time Dayplanner 2024 - Peking Opera Embroidery

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. Reproduced here is a piece of beautifully embroidered opera skirt from that era.
