京劇，也稱“皮黃”，由“西皮” 和“二簧”兩基本腔調組成它的音樂素材，也兼唱一些地方小麯調（如柳子腔、吹腔等）和昆麯麯牌。它形成於北京，時間是在1840年前，盛行於20世紀三、四十年代，時有“國劇”之稱。現在它仍是具有全國影響的大劇。它的行當全、演成熟、氣勢宏美，是近代中國戲麯的代。 中國京劇是中國的“國粹”，已有200年歷史。京劇之名始見於清光緒二年（1876）的《申報》，歷史上曾有皮黃、二黃、黃腔、京調、京戲、平劇、國劇等稱謂，清朝乾隆五十五年（1790年）安徽四大徽班進京與北京劇的昆麯、漢劇、弋陽、亂彈等劇經過五、六十年的融，衍變成為京劇，是中國最大戲麯劇。其劇目之豐富、演藝學家全家家庭家乡之多、劇之多、觀衆之多、影響之深均為全國之冠。京劇是綜性演藝。即唱（歌唱）、念（念白）、做（演）、打（武打）、舞(舞蹈)為一、通過程式的演手段敘演故事，刻劃人物，達"喜、怒、哀、樂、驚、恐、悲"的思想感情。角色可分為：生（男人）、旦（女人）、淨（粗獷威猛的男人，稱花臉）、（男、女人皆有）四大行當。人物有忠姦之分、美之分、善惡之分。各個形象鮮明、栩栩如生。國非常重視非物質文化遺産的保護，2006年5月20日，京劇經國務院批列入第一批國級非物質文化遺産名錄。
【展簡史】
一、孕育期
徽秦流 清初,京城戲麯舞臺上盛行昆麯與京腔(弋陽腔)。乾隆中葉,昆麯漸而衰落,京腔興盛取代昆麯一統京城舞臺。乾隆四十五年(1780年)秦腔藝人魏長生由川進京。魏氏搭雙慶班演出秦腔《滾樓》、《背娃進府》等劇。魏長生扮相俊美,噪音甜潤,唱腔委婉,做工細膩,一出《滾樓》即轟動京城。雙慶班也因此被譽為“京都第一”。自此,京腔開始衰微,京腔六大名班之大成班、王府班、慶班、裕慶班、萃慶班、保和班也無人過問, 紛紛搭入秦腔班謀生。乾隆五十年(1785年),清廷以魏長生的
演有傷風化,明令禁止秦腔在京城演出,將魏長生逐出京城。
乾隆五十五年(1790年),繼三慶徽班落腳京城(班址位於韓胡闹同內),又有四喜、啓秀、霓翠、春、和春、三和、嵩祝、金鈺、大景和等班,亦在大柵欄地區落腳演出。其中以三慶、四喜、和春、春四名聲最盛,故有“四大徽班”之稱。‘春班’進京時間,按漢調名米應先於乾隆末年,在京曾擔任‘春班’柱時始,證明該班進京時間早於‘四喜’和‘和春’。‘春班’位於百順同。‘四喜班’於嘉慶初來京。徽戲、昆麯兼演、尤以昆麯為著,故有“新排一麯桃花扇,到處哄傳四喜班”之語。該班位於陝西巷內。‘和春班’於嘉慶八年(1804年) 於李鐵拐斜街組建。該班以武戲見長。道光十三年(1853年)解散。“四大徽班”的演出劇目,演風格,各有其長,故時有“三慶的軸子,四喜的麯子、和春的把子、春的孩子”之譽。“四大徽班”除演唱徽調外,昆腔、吹腔、四平調、梆子腔亦用,可謂諸腔奏。在演藝上遠征博採吸取諸劇之長,融於徽戲之中。兼之演出陣容齊整,上演的劇目豐富,頗受京城觀衆歡迎。自魏長生被迫離京,秦腔不振,秦腔藝人為生計,紛紛搭入徽班, 形成徽、秦兩腔融的局。在徽、秦流過程中,徽班泛取納秦腔的演唱、演之精和大量的劇本移植,為徽戲藝進一步展,創造有利條件。
徽漢流 漢劇流行於湖北,其聲腔中的二黃、西皮與徽戲有着血緣關係。徽、漢二劇在進京前已有泛的藝交融。繼乾隆末年,漢劇名米應先進京,道光年初 (1821年),先又有著名漢劇老生李六、王洪貴、三,小生竜德等入京,分搭入徽班春、和春班演唱。米應先以唱關羽戲著稱,三慶班主程長庚的紅淨戲,皆由米應先所授。李六以《醉寫嚇蠻書》、《掃雪》見長;王洪貴則以《讓成都》、《擊鼓駡曹》而享名;小生竜德善演《轅門射戟》、《黃鶴樓》等劇;三噪音醇厚,唱腔優美,文武兼備,以演《定軍山》、《四郎探母》、《當鐧賣馬》、《碰碑》等老生劇目著稱。漢劇演員搭入徽班,將聲腔麯調,演技能,演出劇目溶於徽戲之中,使徽戲的唱腔式日趨豐富完善,唱法、念白更具北京地區語音特點,而易於京人接受。道光二十五年(1845年)各大名班,均為老生擔任領班。徽、漢流,促成湖北的西皮調與安徽的二簧調再次交流。徽、秦、漢的流,為京劇的誕生奠定基礎。
二、形成期
道光二十年至丰采十年(1840年-1860年)間,經徽戲、秦腔、漢調的流,鑒吸收昆麯、京腔之長而形成京劇。其標志之一:麯調式完備豐富,超越徽、秦、漢三劇中的任何一種。唱腔由腔和麯牌混組成。聲腔主要以二簧、西皮為主;之二,行當大完備;之三,形成一批京劇劇目;之四,程長庚,三、張二奎為京劇形成初期的代,時稱“老生三傑”、“三鼎甲”即:“狀元”張二奎、“榜眼” 程長庚、“探花”三。他們在演唱及演風格上各俱特色,在創造京劇的主要腔調西皮、二簧上和京劇戲麯形式上,以及具有北京語言特點的說白、字音上,做出卓越貢獻。第一代京劇演員中,尚有老生盧奎、薛印軒、張汝林、王九齡等;小生竜德、徐小香;旦喜祿、羅巧福、梅巧玲:楊鳴玉、劉趕三;老旦郝蘭田、譚志道;淨大麻子,任花臉等,他們為豐富各個行當的聲腔及演藝,均有獨特創造。任‘四喜班’班主的梅巧玲,勇於突破青衣、花旦的嚴格分工舊規,為旦角的演唱藝開闢一條新路。
《同光名伶十三絶》是京劇史上的一幅名伶彩色劇裝寫真畫，由晚清民間畫師瀋蓉圃繪。他參照清代中葉畫師賀世魁所繪《京腔十三絶》戲麯人物畫的形式，挑選清同治、光緒年間（l860至1890）京劇舞臺上享有盛名的十三位演員，用工筆重彩把他們扮演的劇中人物描繪出來，顯示作者的深厚功力。此畫於民國三十二年(1943年)，由進化社復查昌在書肆收購,經縮小影印問世,附編《同光名伶十三絶傳》一册。
三、 成熟期
1883年一1918年,京劇由形成期步入成熟期,代人物為時稱“老生三傑”的譚鑫培、汪桂芬、孫菊仙。其中譚鑫培承程長庚、三、張二奎各藝之長,又經創造展,將京劇藝推進到新的成熟境界。譚在藝實踐中遠征博採,從昆麯、梆子、大鼓及京劇青衣、花臉、老旦各行中鑒,融於演唱之中,創造出獨具演唱藝風格的“譚派”，形成“無腔不學譚”的局。二十年代的叔岩、言菊朋、高慶奎、馬連良等,均在宗“譚派”的基礎上展為各自不同的藝流派。汪桂芬,藝宗程長庚,演唱雄勁沉,悲壯激昂，腔調實無華,有“虎嘯竜吟”的評道, 他因“仿程可以亂真”,故有“長庚再世”之譽。孫菊仙,18歲時選中武秀,善唱京劇,常入票房演唱,36歲投師程長庚。他噪音宏亮,高低自如。念白不拘於湖音和中州韻,多用京音、京字,聽來親切自然。演大方逼真,接近生活。“老生三傑”師承各有側重,藝風格各異,從全權衡,譚鑫培文武昆亂不擋,藝造詣及對京劇的展,遠遠超過汪、孫。光緒年間,譚鑫培被稱之為“伶界大王”,在劇界地位,如當年之程長庚。丰采十年(1861年)京劇始入宮廷演出。當年五月初六起至月末,分由三慶班、四喜班、雙奎班及外班(京劇班)演出。光緒九年(1883年),慈禧五旬壽日,挑選張淇林、楊隆壽、鮑福山、彩福祿、嚴福喜等18人入宮當差,不僅演唱,且當京劇教習,太監們傳授技藝。自此,清宮掌管演出事務的機構“升平署”,每年均選著名藝人進宮當差,結止宣統三年(1911年)，計有譚鑫培、楊月樓、孫菊仙、陳德霖、王楞仙、楊小樓、玉琴、文英、王瑤卿、龔甫、穆鳳山、錢金福等生、旦、淨、的名 150人曾入宮。由於慈禧嗜好京劇,加之京劇名頻繁在宮中獻藝,聲勢日強。同期,位於大柵地區的德樓、三慶園、慶樂園、中和園、文明園等戲園、日日有京劇演出,形成京劇一統的局。京劇成熟期,除“老生三傑”外,生行尚有許蔭棠、賈洪林;武生俞菊笙、楊隆壽;淨行何佳山、黃潤甫、金秀山、裘桂仙、劉永春等;小生王楞仙、德珺如、陸華:旦行陳德霖、田桂鳳、王瑤卿、文英;行王長林、張黑、羅百歲、蕭長華、郭春山。這一時期,旦角的掘起,形成旦角與生角並駕齊驅之勢。武生俞菊笙,開創武生自立門戶挑梁第一人,他被人稱為“武生鼻祖”。上述名,在繼承中有創新展,演唱技藝日臻成熟, 將京劇推新的高度。
四、鼎盛期
1917年以來,京劇優秀演員大量涌現,呈現出流派紛呈的繁盛局,由成熟期展到鼎盛期,這一時期的代人物為楊小樓、梅蘭芳、叔岩。由於文人崇尚的雅文化傳統在20世紀遭遇滅頂之災，京劇達到它的全盛時期。
1927年,北京《順天吋報》舉辦京劇旦角名伶評選。讀者投票選舉結果:梅蘭芳以演《太真外傳》,尚小以演《摩登伽女》,程硯以演《紅拂傳》,荀慧生以演《丹青引》,榮“四大名旦”。 “四大名旦”脫穎而出,是京劇走鼎盛的重要標志。他們創造出各具特色的藝風格,形成梅蘭芳的端莊典雅,尚小的俏麗剛健,程硯的深沉委婉,荀慧生的嬌昵柔媚“四大流派”,開創京劇舞臺上以旦為主的格局。武生楊小樓在繼俞菊笙、楊月樓之,將京劇武生演藝發達展到新高度,被譽為“國劇宗師”、“ 武生泰”。老生中的叔岩、高慶奎、言菊朋、馬連良,20年代時稱“四大生”。同期的時慧寶、王鳳卿、貫大元等也是生行中的優秀人才。30年代末、、言、高先退出舞臺,馬連良與譚富英、奚嘯伯、楊寶森稱之“四大生”。女生孟小鼕,具有較高藝造詣,頗有乃師叔岩的藝風。
1936年,北京大、中學校愛好京劇者及大觀衆給各報寫信,倡議進行京劇童伶選舉。時富連成社社長葉竜章與北平《立言報》社長金達志商妥,由該報外表電表通告,專門接待各界投票,逐日在報上外表電表投票數字,約請“韻石社”人來報社監督。規定投票日期為半月,到期查點票數中華戲麯學校和富連成社負責人及《實報》、《實事白話報》、《北京晚報》、《戲劇報》亦派人當場查驗票數。選舉結果,富連成社李世芳得票約萬張,當選“童伶主席”。生部冠軍王金璐,亞軍葉世長;旦角冠軍毛世來,亞軍宋德珠;淨角冠軍裘世戎,亞軍趙德鈺;角冠軍詹世甫,亞軍殷金振。選舉結束,於虎坊橋富連成社舉行慶祝大會,於當晚在鮮魚口內華樂戲院舉行加冕典禮,由李世芳,袁世海演出《霸王姬》。
童伶選舉結束,仍由《立言報》主持,選出李世芳、張君、毛世來、宋德珠為“四小名旦”，“四小名旦”聯抉於長安、新新兩戲院演出《白蛇傳》和《四五花洞》,以示祝賀。
流派紛呈,人才濟濟,是京劇鼎盛期的又一標志。這一時期除楊派(小樓),梅派(蘭芳)、尚派 (小)、程派(硯)、荀派(慧生)外,旦角中還有筱派(翠花)及宋派(德珠)、張派(君);老生行中的派(叔岩)、高派(慶奎)、言派(菊朋)、馬派(連良)、奚派(嘯伯)、楊派(寶森)、新譚派(富英);淨行中的金派(少山)、侯派(喜瑞)、郝派(壽臣)以及50年代産生的裘派(盛戎);小生行中的派(妙香)、葉派(盛蘭);老旦行中的龔派(甫)、李派(多奎);行中的葉派(盛章)等。同期尚有衆多京劇演藝學家全家家庭家乡,如生行中的王鳳卿、時慧寶、王又宸、李洪春、譚小培、李萬春、李少春、高盛麟等;旦行中的閻嵐、徐碧、琴心、趙桐珊、雪豔琴、新豔、章遏、金少梅、碧霞、琴雪芳、王玉蓉、言慧珠、童芷苓、梁小鸞、吳素、趙燕俠、杜近芳等;小生中的金仲仁、茹富蘭、程繼先;行中的郭春山、慈瑞泉、馬富祿、張春華等。
徽商之班
徽州商人富甲一方，商業的成功引受不了文化消費欲望的高漲。隨着社會經濟的展和戲麯聲腔昆山腔的興起，紛紛蓄養班，角色藝，賣力為乾隆下江南收集聲色歌舞，不惜重金包裝徽劇色藝，客觀上為徽劇進京創造條件。雄霸明清商界500年的徽州商幫以????商出名，黃山歙縣的????商尤其出名，富甲一方。隨着社會經濟的展和戲麯聲腔昆山腔的興起，江南江北文人士大夫和富商巨賈紛紛蓄養家庭戲班。已經在外地商界嶄露頭角的徽商也紛紛效仿。長期為某個徽州商人所養所用的戲麯班社就被外人稱為“徽班”。徽商蓄班，安徽沿江一帶、包括古徽州的地方戲事也開始興盛。他們唱昆腔，由於語言的差異而不“諧吳音”，不經意間唱出一點“地方風味”。於是在青陽腔的影響下，唱出安徽調 ——“徽昆”，發達展為二簧腔。尤以誕生在安徽安慶市懷寧縣的石牌調最著名。徽州藝人帶着鄉音下揚州，得到徽商們的親情惠顧和重金扶持。他們或出沒於碼頭街肆，或為徽商富賈所容留。技藝得到展，鄉音也漸占上風。這時徽班的概念已不完全是“徽商之班”，而開始有徽調（石牌腔，亂彈調）的含義。
值得一提的是，歙縣大????商江春，是一位品味極高的戲麯鑒賞，他酷愛戲麯，中常常“麯劇三四部，同日分亭館宴客，客至以數百計”。他把各種名角聚在一起，又讓不同聲腔同互補，使異軍突起的徽班具有博採衆長的開放格局。“亂彈”亂唱，紅火異常。這時最叫彩的是來自安慶的戲麯藝人，清李在《揚州畫舫錄》中就這樣寫道：安慶色藝最優，蓋於本地亂彈，故本地亂彈間有聘之入班者。徽商在商界進一步站穩腳跟，他們和戲麯藝的關係也越來越密切。而涌現出大批戲麯的“徽班”，也在新的歷史條件下得到進一步的展。
“無石不成班”
石牌是安慶市懷寧縣一個古老的集鎮，“無石不成班”的“石”即指這裏，也泛指安慶及其所屬各縣。至清中葉，石牌已成為遠近聞名的商業中心，擁有商三、帆船艘。江西、福建、湖北等地客商紛紛在此設館駐節。當時的石牌除本地居民外，大都是過往船幫和商戶，在生存問題變得比較輕的時候，他們開始構建自己的市井文化。
石牌當時可供演的戲劇舞臺多達800處，不僅有戲園、戲樓，還有花戲。戲園，在石牌鎮就有3。上鎮橫街的長樂大戲院可容納觀衆600多人，專供徽調、皮簧班演出。戲樓通常在祠堂內。祠堂戲樓通常唱大戲，每年做鼕至節、族內有人中舉、升官以及族內官紳慶壽等，都要聘戲班在戲樓演出。此外，祠堂大修落成，也必邀班唱戲以示祝賀。《都劇賦》描述：“徽班日失麗，始自石牌”。明安慶的徽班歷史上曾經出現過輝煌，很多京劇前輩名伶都是這一帶的人，因而有“無石不成班”的說法。
在石牌的彈丸之地涌現出郝天秀、程長庚、楊月樓等多位開一代風氣的宗師，四大徽班進京，皇帝為安慶藝人精美絶倫的行頭、裝飾驚嘆不已，“安慶色藝最優!”“無石(牌)不成班!”之說一時間為流傳。細心的京劇票友不難現，京劇的唱腔中有很多字辭的音是與北京方言不相同的，如果你對安慶地區的方言有所瞭解，就會現， 這些字辭卻與安慶方言的音一模一樣。四大徽班進京之，石牌藝人仍源源不斷進京，繼續充實四大徽班的演出陣容，至同治年間，石牌藝人進京近百人。雖然當時徽班和伶工大批外流，本地徽班也同樣有所展。
安慶民國初期就有“民衆”大戲院，當時全國京劇名角基本上都在此演出過，他們都帶着“朝聖”的心情來安慶登，戲劇大曹禺到懷寧石碑鎮，下車第一句話就是“我來朝聖”。京劇界老科班出來的人，不在安慶演上十天，不唱連本，在當時都被認為是沒有展前途的“角”。從安慶古鎮石牌鄉野間源的徽劇，走出古鎮，走到北京，徽班進京的輝煌歷史光環至今還籠罩着古鎮石牌。安慶是中國較早接受現代文明的城市之一，也是國歷史史文化名城同時安慶還是享譽世界，極具地方特色的戲劇--黃梅戲的故鄉。程長庚紀念館，位於安慶潛山縣,館內珍藏三百多件珍貴的實物和圖片資料，再現京劇藝的起壯大此外。還有程長庚故居供戲迷瞻仰。
戲班藝
史料記載，“梨園演戲，高宗（乾隆）南巡時為最盛，而兩淮????務中尤為絶出”。也就是說，官府公事演戲由兩淮????務衙門負責，兩淮????務要蓄養花、雅兩部以備南巡演出大戲。雅部即昆山腔，花部為京腔、秦腔、弋陽腔、梆子腔、羅羅腔、二簧調，統稱亂彈。承擔具演出任務的戲班大多是由安徽????商出資組建的，叫內班。最初的戲班為????商徐尚志（晉商）出資組建的老徐班，以????商黃元德（徽商）、張大安、汪啓源（徽商）、程謙德、洪充實（徽商）、江春（徽商）等也相繼組班。徽商江春自立門戶組建春班，為充實力量，他聘四方名旦如州的楊八官、安慶的郝天秀等為春班柱。郝天秀的演柔媚動人，直令觀衆銷魂，人稱“ 坑死人”。秦腔名角魏長生擅演花旦，來揚州投靠江春。江春對魏長生極其敬重，演戲一出，贈白銀一千兩。這些名角的加盟，極大地推動當時揚州京、秦等腔的互相融、吸收，進一步促進花部的展。 三慶班的高朗亭、春班的郝天秀都是以“安慶花部京、秦二腔”享譽江南的。揚州????商為演出需要，還聘請一些精於詞麯的名，提供優厚的條件，長期供養他們。 大洪班和春班更是“聚衆美而大備”。一出《桃花扇》費銀16萬，一出《長生殿》費銀至四十萬。這排場除清內廷，其他人實難匹敵。
唱街梨園
徽班進京的出地在揚州，身懷絶技的優伶們，出前一定要到位於唱街的梨園總局碰碰頭，商量一下出日程和演出劇目，在那一起個身段、甩兩下水袖、揚聲珠圓玉潤的歌喉。有時脆排演出子戲，或是《遊園》，或是《思凡》，聲情並茂，婀娜多姿，那時的唱街，十分熱鬧！
唱街，是老揚州惟一保存下來的與戲班直接有關的街道。當年????商徐尚志從州招徠昆腔藝人辦起的揚州第一個昆腔班“老徐班”，就在這條街上。昆麯的老在州，所以又有昆之稱，這條小街居留過不少唱昆的藝人，揚州人就把它命名為唱街。
徽班進京
公元1790年，徽班以唱祝壽戲開始進京藝之旅。 經過多年滄桑，在不斷吸納中，徽班“五方之音為一致”的同時逐漸失去自己的顔色。徽班的歷史結束，而脫胎於徽班的京劇終成為享譽世界的藝瑰寶，對於徽班來說，可謂涅盤 。
三慶班首獻藝
1790年，為慶祝乾隆八旬壽辰，揚州????商江鶴亭（安徽人）在安慶組織一個名為“三慶班” 的徽戲戲班，由藝人高朗亭率領進京參加祝壽演出。這個徽班以唱二簧調為主，兼唱昆麯、吹腔、梆子等，是個諸腔奏的戲班。這次北京的祝壽演出規模盛大，從西華門到西直門外高粱橋，每隔數十步設一戲，南腔北調，四方之樂，薈萃爭妍。或弦歌高唱，或抖扇舞衫，前面還沒有歇下，後面又已開場，群戲薈萃，衆藝爭。在這場藝競賽當中，第一次進京的三慶徽班即嶄露頭角，引人矚目。三慶班的高朗亭是安徽安慶人，入京時十六歲，演旦角，擅長二簧腔，技藝精湛。《目下看花記》稱他：“宛然巾幗，無分毫矯強。不必歌，一顰一笑，一起一坐，描摹雌軟神情，幾乎化境。”
四大徽班進京
三慶班進京獲得成功，又有四喜班、和春班、春班等徽班進入北京，逐漸稱雄於京華的劇。這就是所謂的“四大徽班進京”。
四大徽班各有所長，有“三慶的軸子，四喜的麯子，和春的把子，春的孩子”的說法，軸子指以連演整本大戲著稱，麯子指擅長演唱昆麯，把子指以武戲取，孩子指以童伶見長。
在捧旦之風十分火爆的京城，技藝不凡的高朗亭自然受寵。抵達北京，他接替原三慶班班主老四掌班，一做就是30多年，同時還擔任京師戲麯界行會組織“精忠廟”的會首，通過精忠廟對北京的戲班、戲園實行行政管理，他也成為梨園領袖。繼高朗亭之，程長庚、徐小香、楊月樓、劉趕三等人均任過此職。
至嘉慶初，徽班在北京戲麯舞臺上已取得主導地位，《夢華瑣簿》記載：“戲莊演劇必‘徽班’。戲園之大者，如‘德樓’、‘和樓’、‘三慶園’、‘慶樂園’，亦必以‘徽班’為主。下此則‘徽班’‘小班’‘西班’，相雜適均矣。”
四大徽班進京獻藝，揭開200多年波瀾壯闊的中國京劇史的序幕。
在京的各聲腔劇的藝人，面對徽班無所不能、無所不精的藝優勢，無力與之競爭，多半都轉而歸附徽班。他們中有京師舞臺各聲腔劇的名優，如加入春班的湖北漢戲名優米喜子、李鳳林，加入四喜班的湖南亂彈（皮黃）名優韓小玉，加入三慶班的北京籍京腔演員王全福等，於是就形成多聲腔劇薈萃徽班之勢。也因此，徽班在諸腔雜奏的過程中，從“兩下鍋”“三下鍋”到“風攪雪”，逐漸側重皮黃戲的演出。
形成與傳播
京劇前身是清初流行於江南地區，以唱吹腔、高撥子、二黃為主的徽班。徽班流動性強，與其他劇接觸頻繁，在聲腔上互有交流滲透，因此在展過程中也搬演不少昆腔戲，還吸收囉囉腔和其他一些雜麯。清乾隆五十五年（1790），以高朗亭（名月官）為首的第一個徽班（三慶班）進入北京，參加乾隆帝八十壽辰慶祝演出。《揚州畫舫錄》載：“高朗亭入京師，以安慶花部，京秦二腔，名其班曰三慶。”刊於道光二十二年（1842）的楊懋建《夢華瑣簿》也說：“而三慶又在四喜之先，乾隆五十五年庚戌，高宗八旬萬壽入都祝匣時，稱'三慶徽'，是為徽班鼻祖。”伍子舒在《隨園詩話》批註中則更具指出是“閩浙總督伍納拉命浙江????商偕安慶徽人都祝釐。”隨還有不少徽班陸續進京。著名的為三慶、四喜、春、和春四班，雖然和春成立於嘉慶八年（1803），遲於三慶十三年，但世仍稱之為“四大徽班進京”。
乾隆、嘉慶年間，北京文物薈萃，政治穩定，經濟繁榮，各劇藝人麇集。北京舞臺昆腔、京腔、秦腔三足鼎立、相互對峙。徽班到京，首先致力於“京秦二腔”。當時秦腔、京腔基本上同演出，“京秦不分”（《揚州畫舫錄》），徽班揚其博採衆長的傳統，泛吸收秦腔（包括部分京腔）的劇目和演方法，同時繼承衆多的昆腔劇目（還排演昆腔大戲《桃花扇》）及其舞臺藝節制制度，因而在藝上得到迅速提高。
徽班本身的藝特色，是它能夠在爭衡中取的主要原因。在聲腔方面，除所唱二黃調以新聲奪人而外，它“聯絡五方之音，為一致”（《日下看花記》）；在劇目方面，題材廣阔，形式多樣；在演方面，純真切，行當齊全文武兼重，因此適大觀衆的欣賞要求。
在演出安排上，《夢華瑣簿》載，四大徽班“各擅場”。三慶以“軸子”取（連日接演新戲），四喜以“麯子”取（善唱昆麯），和春以“把子” 取（善演武戲），春以“孩子”取（以童伶為號召）。在藝和經營上備有側重點，能夠揮專長，取得較快進展。至道光期，徽班已在北京占據優勢。《夢華瑣簿》說："今樂部皖人最多，吳人亞之，蜀人絶無知名者矣。"又說："戲莊演劇必徽班。戲園之大者，如德樓、和樓、三慶園、慶樂園，亦必以徽班為主。"徽班成長展的過程，也就是它京劇擅變的過程。這一嬗變的完成，主要標志為徽漢流和皮黃交融，形成以西皮、二黃兩腔調為主的腔唱腔音樂唔系，使唱念做打演唔系逐步完善。最早隨同徽班進京的漢調演員是米應先（又名米喜子），湖北崇陽人（一說安徽人），生於乾隆四十五年（1780），約於嘉慶年間加入春徽班進京演唱，演正生，擅紅生戲，聲望極隆（見《夢華瑣簿》及李登齊《常談叢錄》）。被視為著名漢調演員三的先驅（當時麯藝唱詞有"亞賽當年米應先"之句）。道光年間（1821-1849），漢調演員至京加入徽班演唱的逐漸增多，著名的有王洪貴、李六。粟海庵居士《燕鴻爪集》（約作於道光十二年以前）說："京師尚楚調。樂工中如王洪貴、李六善為新聲稱於時。"楚調即漢調，也就是西皮調。可見當時北京已流行西皮調，王洪貴、李六"善為新聲"，又推動西皮調的革新展。在徽、漢演員的共同努力下，逐步實現西皮與二黃兩腔調的交融。開始不同的劇目，根不同的來源，分唱西皮或二黃；來，有些戲就兼唱西皮和二黃，甚至在同一唱段中先唱二黃，轉西皮，能相互協調，渾然一。《羅成叫關》（源出徽調《淤泥河》）就是一個例子。聲韻方面，形成"中州韻、湖音"的格律，字聲間雜京音、鄂音，兼用北京、湖北兩四聲調值，分尖字音，按照"十三轍"押韻。二黃的伴奏樂器，經反，終於在丰采、同治年間（1851-1874）廢笛,而與西皮統一使用琴（定弦不同），但唱吹腔時仍按徽班傳統用笛伴奏。
道光末年，西皮戲大量涌現，徽班中皮黃奏習以為常。刊於道光二十五年的楊靜亭《都門紀略》載，三慶班程長庚、四喜班張二奎、春班三和李六、和春班王洪貴等常演的劇目，如《文昭關》《捉放曹》《定軍山》《擊鼓駡曹》《掃雪打碗》等，與嗣京劇舞臺常見的傳統劇目已大相同，徽班京劇的擅變到此已基本完成（雖然當時還不稱京劇）。另一種說法，認為譚鑫培成名（19世紀末、20世紀初）京劇算形成。理由是到那時皮黃戲從音樂、演，到唱念的字音、聲韻，具備嚴格的規；而在此以前，即程長庚時代，仍屬徽調疇。
同治六年（1867），京劇傳到上海。新建的滿庭芳戲園從天津約來京班，受到觀衆歡迎。同年，丹桂茶園通過北京的三慶班，又約來大批著名京劇演員，其中有老生夏奎章（夏月潤之父）、熊金桂（熊文通之父），花旦馮三喜（馮子和之父）等。他們都在上海落戶，成為以上海為中心的南派京劇世。嗣，更多的京角陸續南下，知名的有周春奎、孫菊仙、楊月樓、孫春恆、黃月山、李春來、劉永春以及梆子花旦田際（響九霄）等，從而使上海成為與北京立的另一個京劇中心。
在這之前，約在丰采初年，上海已有昆班和徽班演出。京劇進上海，也出現京徽同、京昆同以及京梆（梆子）同的局。這對南方京劇特點的形成，起重要作用。徽班傑出演員王鴻壽（三麻子）到滬，經常參加京班演出，把一些徽調劇目如《徐策跑城》、《掃下書》、《雪擁藍關》等帶進京班，把徽調的主要腔調之一"高撥子"納入到京劇音樂，還把徽班的某些紅生戲及其演方法吸收到京劇中。這對擴大京劇上演劇目和豐富舞臺藝起一定作用。此外，梆子藝人田際在上海的藝活動，對南派京劇的展也有所影響。他的"燈彩戲"《牛宮》等，實為來"機關景連本戲"的濫筋。從光緒五年（1879）起，譚鑫培六次到滬，來梅蘭芳等名演員也經常到滬演出，促進北派、南派京劇交流，加速京劇藝的展。
京劇在進入上海之前，即丰采十年（1860）之，隨商旅往來及戲班的流動演出，很快傳播到全國各地。如天津及其周圍的河北一帶為京劇最早的傳播地區之一。道光末年，三即在天津活動（他和他父親死都葬在天津）；角演員劉趕三先在天津的票房活動，來到北京"下海"。老生演員孫菊仙也曾經是夭津的票友。山東是徽班進出北京的必經之地，山東幫商人又是北京經濟活動的重要力量，因而山東很早就有京劇演出。麯阜孔府早在乾隆時就有安徽藝人入府演戲。京劇的較早流佈地區還有安徽、湖北和東北三省。至20世紀初，南至閩、粵，東至浙江，北至黑竜江，西至南，都有京劇活動。抗日戰爭期間，京劇在四川、陝西、貴州、西等地也有較大展。
1919年，梅蘭芳率劇赴日本演出，京劇藝首次海外傳播；1924年，他再度率劇到日本演出，1930年，梅又率由二十人組成的劇組到美國訪問演出，取得很大成功。1934年，他應邀去歐洲訪問，在聯演出，受到歐洲戲劇界的重視。此，世界各地把京劇看成中國的演劇學派。
京劇的形成大約有150年左右。
清乾隆五十五年（1790年）江南久享盛名的徽班"三慶班"入京為清高宗（乾隆帝）的八旬"萬壽"祝壽。徽班是指演徽調或徽戲的戲班，清代初年在南方深受歡迎。繼此，許多徽班接踵而來，其中最著名的有三慶、四喜、春、和春，習稱"四大徽班"。他們在演出上各具特色，三慶擅演整本大戲；四喜長於昆腔劇目；春多青少年為主的童伶；和春武戲出衆。
徽調多為二黃調、高撥子、吹腔、四平調等，間或亦有西皮調、昆腔和弋腔；而漢調演員演的則是西皮調和二黃調。徽、漢兩班作，兩調流，經過一個時期的互相融會吸收，再加上京音化，又從昆麯、弋腔、秦腔不斷汲取營養，終於形成一個新的劇--京劇。第一代京劇演員的成熟和被承認，大約是在1840年左右。
京劇從産生以來曾經有過許多名稱。計有：亂彈、簧調、京簧、京二簧、皮簧（皮黃）、二簧（二黃）、大戲、平劇、舊劇、國劇、京戲、京劇等。
【藝特色】
京劇舞臺藝在文學、演、音樂、唱腔、鑼鼓、化妝、臉譜等各個方面，通過無數藝人的長期舞臺實踐，構成一套互相約、相得益彰的格律化和規化的程式。它作為創造舞臺形象的藝手段是十分豐富的，而用法又是十分嚴格的。不能駕馭這些程式，就無法完成京劇舞臺藝的創造。由於京劇在形成之初，便進入宮廷，使它的育成長不同於地方劇。要求它所要現的生活領域更寬，所要塑造的人物類型更多，對它的技藝的全性、完整性也要求得更嚴，對它創造舞臺形象的美學要求也更高。當然，同時也相應地使它的民間鄉土氣息減弱，純、粗獷的風格特色相對淡薄。因而，它的演藝更趨於虛實結的現手法，最大限度地超脫舞臺空間和時間的限，以達到“以形傳神，形神兼備” 的藝境界。演上要求精緻細膩，處處入戲；唱腔上要求悠揚委婉，聲情並茂；武戲則不以火爆勇猛取，而以“武戲文唱”見佳。
【行當分類】
京劇行當的分，除依人物的自然屬性（性、年齡）和社會屬性（身份、職業）外，更主要的是按人物的性格特和創作者對人物的褒貶態度不同而異。
行當分由來已久，對京劇分行當影響最大的，當數漢劇。漢劇共分為10行當：一末、二淨、三生、四旦、五、六外、七小、八貼、九夫、十雜。這十行當所扮演角色的內容，大概是這樣：末是主要的男性角色，就是京劇邊的生行；淨與京劇的淨是一樣的，指的是花臉；旦就是京劇的旦，指的是女角色；貼，是貼旦的簡稱，京劇在早期分行當，也包括貼旦在內，指的是比較次要的旦行角色，俗稱二旦，例如現在京劇《紅娘》扮演鶯鶯小姐的，就是貼旦。夫，扮演車夫、轎夫、馬童、衙役一類角色。總的說來，漢劇的這十行當，分得比較細緻，為京劇分行當，打下基礎。京劇來分為生、旦、淨、四大類型，似乎比較簡化精練，但每個大類之中，又包含若小類，所以實際上是把這十行當都包括在內。不僅包括在內，而且更為細密嚴謹。唯一不同的是漢劇雖然有生行，可他的主要行當是末，而不是生。展到京劇，生行就成為主要行當。
【人物化妝】
中國傳統戲麯的臉譜，是演員部化妝的一種程式。一般應用於淨、兩個行當，其中各種人物大都有自己特定的譜式和色彩，以突出人物的性格特，具有“寓褒貶、善惡”的藝功能，使觀衆能目視外表，窺其心胸。因而，臉譜被譽為角色“心靈的畫”。
臉譜的演變和展，不是某個人憑空臆造的産物，而是戲麯藝學家全家家庭家乡們在長期藝實踐中，對生活現象的觀察、驗、綜，以及對劇中角色的不斷分析、判斷，作出評價，逐步形成一整套完整的藝手法。
史料記載，臉譜由唐朝樂舞大（傳統戲麯角色行當之一，是京劇和某些地方戲中淨的稱）所戴具和參軍戲副淨的當面表面反面方面正面迎面滿面封面地面路面世面平面斜面前面下面四面十面一面洗心革面方方面面面貌面容面色面目面面俱到逐漸演變而來。
中國戲麯理論翁偶虹曾撰文說：“中國戲麯臉譜，胚胎於上古的圖騰，濫觴於春的儺祭，孽乳為漢、唐的代，展為宋、元的當面表面反面方面正面迎面滿面封面地面路面世面平面斜面前面下面四面十面一面洗心革面方方面面面貌面容面色面目面面俱到，形成為明、清的臉譜。在戲麯形成之，臉譜與具仍然交替使用。最明顯的貴州的‘地戲’，江西、安徽的‘儺戲’，西藏的‘藏戲’，無論生旦淨，都戴具，每劇多至百，少者亦數十。‘南昆’的神仙鬼怪，一般均戴具，並不勾畫臉譜。京劇是具有全國性的大劇，大量展臉譜，可是加官、財神、魁星、土地、雷公，仍戴具。從臉譜、具的混使用與臉譜譜式的由簡至繁，可以看出中國戲麯遞展的軌跡。”
京劇臉譜與京劇演藝一樣，是和演員一起出現在舞臺上的活的藝。京劇在中國戲麯史上，雖衹有二百年的歷史，但與其他戲麯相比，它展快，流傳，深受人民群衆的喜愛，有泛的群衆基礎。因此，京劇臉譜在中國戲麯臉譜中具有特殊的地位。
京劇臉譜是一種寫意和誇張的藝，常以蝙蝠、燕翼、蝶翅等為圖案勾眉眼面頰，結誇張的鼻窩、嘴窩來刻畫部的情。開朗樂觀的臉譜總是舒眉展眼，悲傷或暴戾的臉譜多是麯眉目。勾畫時以“魚尾紋”的高低麯直來反映年齡，用“法令紋”的上下開來現氣質，用“印堂紋”的不同圖案象徵人物性格。 京劇臉譜
京劇臉譜，是具有民族特色的一種特殊的化妝方法。由於每個歷史人物或某一種類型的人物都有一種大概的譜式，就像唱歌、奏樂都要按照樂譜一樣，所以稱為“臉譜”。關於臉譜的來源，一般的說法是來自假具。
京劇臉譜，是根某性格、性情或某特殊類型的人物為用某些色彩的。紅色的臉譜示忠勇士義烈，如關羽、妾維、常遇春；黑色的臉譜示剛烈、正直、勇猛甚至魯莽，如包拯、張飛、李逵等；黃色的臉譜示兇狠殘暴，如宇文成都、典韋。藍色或緑色的臉譜示一些粗豪暴躁的人物，如竇爾敦、馬武等；白色的臉譜一般示姦臣、壞人，如曹操、趙高等。
京劇臉譜的色畫方法，基本上分為三類：揉臉、抹臉、勾臉。臉譜最初的作用，是誇大劇中角色的五官部位和部的紋理，用誇張的手法現劇中人的性格、心理和生理上的特，以此來為整個戲劇的情節服務，可是展到來，臉譜由簡到繁、由粗到細、由及、由淺到深，本身就逐漸成為一種具有民族特色的、以人的部為現手段的圖案藝受不了。
【音技巧】
（1）真嗓亦名大嗓、本嗓。京劇演員音方法之一。演唱時，氣從丹田而出，通過喉腔共鳴，直接出聲來，稱為真嗓。用真嗓出的聲音稱真聲。如丹田氣經過喉腔時，演員將喉腔縮小，使之出比真嗓較高的音調，則稱為假嗓。真嗓與假嗓在行腔時銜接自然，不露痕跡，就能使音域寬，高低音運轉自如。京劇的生行（老生、武生、紅生）、淨行、行、老旦等行當，在演唱時均用真嗓。小生演唱用假嗓，但念白則用真假嗓結。
（2）假嗓亦名小嗓、二本嗓。京劇演員音方法之一。與真嗓、大嗓、本嗓相對而言。用假嗓出的聲音稱假聲。聲時，與真嗓相比喉孔縮小，部位擡高，氣流變細。假嗓音的音調較真嗓為高。京劇的旦角、小生的演唱均用假嗓，但二者聲音的剛柔力度有所不同。
（3）左嗓，京劇聲樂名詞。主要指男聲中一種不正常的嗓音，能高而不能低，另外聲音剛而扁，圓潤不足，有些專唱高調門的老生或武生，即以此嗓演唱。老生嗓音有純粹左嗓，亦有本嗓而略帶左者。另外，左嗓有時亦用作另一解釋，指嗓音與伴奏樂器不，即一般所謂的不搭調。
（4）吊嗓亦作調嗓。京劇演員的練唱方法，也是演員唱功鍛煉的步驟之一。演員每天除喊嗓、念白外，還用琴（或加鼓等）伴奏，大聲練唱戲中的唱段。有的先用一般調門，然適當升高。吊嗓的作用：1。通過大聲練唱，使聲音符在舞臺上演唱的要求，由於不間斷的鍛煉，可使嗓音日益嘹亮圓潤，氣力充沛，口齒清晰有力，保持耐久能力。2。熟悉伴奏，全受不了解唱腔和伴奏的關係，共同掌握尺寸，解明麯意，達麯情，使演唱與伴奏的配達到水乳交融，進而達成藝上的相互默契，協調整個唱段的演風格。
（5）喊嗓，京劇演員練聲方法，通過喊嗓可以鍛煉各個聲部位，正確地出各個韻母的本音。喊嗓時間一般在清晨，於空曠地區，大聲喊出“唔”、“伊”、“啊”等單元音，由低而高，由高而低，反進行。待聲音舒放，再以唱段進行練習。
（6）丹田音，又名響堂，京劇聲樂名詞。演員歌唱時肺部蓄足氣，小腹用力，氣似從丹田（人身肚臍下約三寸處謂之丹田）出聲。現在一般傳統演唱戲麯練聲方法，也認為丹田音最能響堂（即聲音送得遠，聽得清）。
（7）遮月，京劇聲樂名詞。這是對老生的圓潤而較含蓄的嗓音的一種比喻。這嗓音，開始聽來似覺澀，以愈唱愈覺嘹亮動聽，使人感到韻味醇厚，潛力無窮，是長期鍛煉而形成的一種優美音質。譚鑫培、叔岩的嗓音都屬於這一類型。
（8）塌中，京劇聲樂名詞。演員在中老年時期，由於生理關係，生失音現象，完全不能歌唱，叫做塌中。有的演員愛護嗓子，到老仍保持元音不變。用假嗓歌唱的演員，老來塌中的較多。
（9）腦音，京劇聲的一種。又名背工音。一般音，氣從丹田而出，經過喉腔共鳴，直接出來。腦音雖然同樣氣從丹田，但音時，喉腔稍加壓縮，打開咽壁，提高軟顎，將聲音送入頭腔，與鼻音相聚，使聲音迂在腦，通過頭腔共鳴，出一種含蓄渾厚的音調。腦音音蒼勁有力，能達遠聞，而近聽又不覺其尖厲。老生和淨角唱腔中，凡遇閉口音（如“一七轍”）的高音，多用此唱法。旦角唱腔用腦音者較少，程（硯）派唱腔有時用之。
（10）荒腔，亦作黃腔、黃調或涼調。京劇聲樂名詞。指演員唱麯音調不，習慣上專指略低於調門的變音。大部分都是由於演員先天生理條件所造成，如聲帶變異、耳音不等。有時也由於練聲不得法所致。
（11）冒調，京劇聲樂名詞。指演員唱麯音調略高於規定的調門。大部分是由於先天生理條件所造成。有的是由於生理條件（如聲帶）臨時生故障；有時也由於練聲不得法所致。
（12）走，京劇聲樂名詞。指演員唱麯不符規定的節拍。京劇唱腔中有一三眼、一一眼、流水等各種不同的槽，行腔時如背離眼的規定，失去節拍的分寸，即謂走。
（13）不搭調，京劇聲樂名詞。指演員唱麯音調或高或低，不於規定的調門。習稱跑調。
（14）氣口，京劇演唱方法之一。指演員唱麯時吸氣的方法。京劇各種唱腔長短不一，節奏快慢各異，演員掌握確吸氣方法，才能唱得從容不迫，優美動聽。氣口包括換氣、偷氣兩。換氣指唱腔間歇中的吸氣，偷氣是在樂句若斷若續中吸氣而不使聽者覺察。
（15）換氣，京劇演唱方法之一。演唱時凡遇長腔或拔高處，必先吸氣，作好充分備。換氣不是停腔再唱或明顯稍頓再接唱，而是在行腔吞吐字音的瞬間，乘便呼吸，蓄氣待換。唱腔中在何處換氣，因人而異，一般稱為氣口。
（16）偷氣，京劇演唱方法之一。指換氣時不着痕跡，在觀衆不覺察時偷換。如《捉放曹》中陳宮所唱“馬行在夾道內我難以馬”，唱完前六字及“內”字長腔，利用“我”這一襯字內“偷”吸一口氣，以便唱足下面“難以馬”的腔，即謂之偷氣。
（17）嘎調，在京劇唱腔中，凡是用突出拔高的音唱某一字時，習稱嘎調。如《四郎探母》中楊延輝唱“站立宮門叫小番”一句中的“番”字，《定軍山》中黃忠唱“掃明天午時三刻成功勞”一句中的“天”字等，均稱嘎調。
（18）長吭，長（音掌）是增長，吭是嗓音的俗稱，此處指音量。長吭好似加大音量。
（19）砸夯，比喻演員演唱似夯地基時的鼓努為力，含貶意。演員不善於掌握演唱方法，用氣過頭，或使蠻力，演唱（多在尾音）出現笨拙的重音，謂之砸夯。
【伴奏樂器】
京劇伴奏樂器分打擊樂與管弦樂。其中，打擊樂是京劇伴奏樂器中的靈魂。京劇的“唱”、“念”、“做”、“打”完全按照規定的節奏進行，“唱”要有有眼，“念”要抑揚頓挫，“做”則是舞蹈，而舞蹈必須現出鮮明的韻律，誰來控、現節奏？那就是打擊樂。打擊樂器有、單皮鼓、大鑼、鐃、鈸等，稱為“ 武場”；管弦樂器有京、京二、月琴、三弦，稱為“文場”。在戲麯舞臺上，人物的一切行動，包括最隱秘的思想活動，都是通過舞蹈化的身段動作、音樂化的念白和演唱，在音樂的伴奏中進行的，由各種打擊樂器的音響組成的“鑼鼓經”，起着極其重要的作用。有人說，如果“唱”、“念”、“做”、“打”是戲劇的血肉，那麽“鑼鼓經”就是它的骨骼，一陣鑼鼓，既可渲染磅礴的氣勢，又能烘托演員的演，且這對演的烘托，是非常細緻的，甚至細緻到鼓點子打出演員眼珠的轉動，眼皮的開闔，手指的顫抖。演員演往往導引出感情達需要的鑼鼓，鑼鼓（節奏、音響）等的刺激反過來誘演員的演激情。
【舞臺道具】
砌末
砌未是大小道具與一些簡單裝置的統稱，是戲麯解决演與實物矛盾的特殊産物。砌未一詞在金、元時期已有。傳統戲麯舞臺上的砌末包括生活用具（如燭、燈籠、扇子、手絹、文房四寶、茶具、酒具），交通用具（如轎子、車旗、船槳、馬鞭等）。武器又稱刀槍把子（如各種刀、槍、劍、斧、錘、鞭、棍、棒等），以及現環境、點染氣氛的姓种种氏物件（如城、大帳、小帳、門旗、纛旗、水旗，風旗、火旗、蠻儀器仗、桌圍椅披）等。除常用的砌末之外，也可根演出需要臨時添置。
傳統的砌末，是有意識地區於生活的自然形態之物。它們不是實物的仿品，而是實物在戲麯中的一種藝外表電表現。這也是砌末能夠與動作、形象相結的一個重要原因。
一桌二椅，在演員沒有上場以前，桌椅是一種抽象的擺設。如演出皇帝視朝，這張桌子便成視朝時所需的案；縣宮坐衙，這張桌子便成坐衙時所需的公案；朋友宴會，便成宴會時所需要的酒席。以上是實物實用，但戲麯舞臺上的桌椅還可以做代用品。比如用桌子代替山石，人要上山，就站在桌子上，如果這山很高，就用兩張桌子疊起來。要跳墻，就用桌子當墻；要睡覺，將身伏在桌上，用手支住頭。至於椅子所代替的就更多。舞臺上示從矮山爬到高山去，是從椅子再登到桌子上，椅子還可以代替窯門，代替牢門等等。桌椅無論代什麽，都是妙在似與不似之間。如戲麯中的城雖然比較簡陋，但决不追求城的真實再現。城可以根城的需要自由調度。
旗幟在舞臺上使用很多，如正方形帥字旗、長方形三軍令旗、大纛旗（古代軍隊的大旗），都是示元帥及大本營所在地的。還有水旗、火旗、風旗、車旗等等，這些旗幟是在白色方旗上繪緑色水紋、火焰、風、車輪等等。演員執旗，略微顫動，就可以示波浪起伏、着火、起風、乘車。
戲麯舞臺上並不避"露假"，也不要求一一寫實。揚鞭以代馬，搖槳以代船。在舞臺上有廣阔的空間供演員活動，應當細緻的地方盡力描繪，不必要的場，一個圓場就過去，這虛擬的方法與中國戲麯的演風格是相一致的。
【名詞解釋】
（1）工尺，戲麯音樂名詞。泛指戲麯麯譜上麯詞右側所註音階符號。我國傳統民族音樂，以“、四、上、尺、工、凡、六”等字作為音階的符號，相當於西洋音樂的 “56712345”。習慣上把這些符號統稱為“工尺”。有的麯譜，麯詞旁註眼（拍子），不註工尺。有工尺的麯譜，名為工尺譜。
（2）眼，戲麯音樂名詞。傳統唱麯時，常以鼓按節拍，凡強拍均擊，故稱該拍為。次強拍和弱拍則以鼓簽敲鼓或用手指按拍，分稱為中眼、小眼（在四拍子中前一弱拍稱頭眼或初眼，一弱拍稱末眼）。稱眼。
（3）過門，京劇音樂名詞。指在唱句與唱句之間，唱段與唱段之間的間奏音樂。唱句與唱句之間常用小過門兒，唱段與唱段之間常用大過門。但由於式不同，亦有不少例外，並無固定模式。
（4）挂兒，京劇音樂名詞。挂兒是“過兒”的諧音，專指在唱段與唱段之間的大過門，一般多指華彩的間奏音樂。在唱句與唱句之間的小過門不稱挂兒。
（5）墊頭，京劇音樂名詞。指在樂與樂間起搭橋作用的旋律稱為墊頭或小墊頭，亦名橋。墊頭旋律較短，一般衹有二、三拍，起前銜接作用。
（6）行旋，京劇音樂名詞。指在演員演動作或對話、獨白時的襯托音樂。行旋多為麯牌或簡單旋律的反演奏，主要起烘托氣氛的作用。
（7）調門，指演員歌唱時的音高。凡用弦樂器伴奏，都根演員嗓音的高度自由定調。京劇調門，一般以正宮調為適度，最高的唱乙字調，最低的凡字調，俗稱趴字調。同一劇中，兩個主要演員音高不同，有時互相遷就，有時臨時長（提高）調門或落（降低）調門。
（8）調，演員唱的音高與伴奏樂器（琴、笛子等）的音高相同，叫做調。意思是按照“調門”的當面表面反面方面正面迎面滿面封面地面路面世面平面斜面前面下面四面十面一面洗心革面方方面面面貌面容面色面目面面俱到歌唱。調唔系針對調底而言。在一般情況下，演員都唱調。
（9）調底，演員唱的音高比伴奏樂器（琴、笛子等）的音高低八度，叫做調底。意思是按照調門的底音歌唱。調底針對調而言。京劇的某些唱腔，如娃娃調的腔調經常翻高，如將調門定高，演員嗓音不及，如將調門定低，樂器音量有過小，乃用調底的唱法，把樂器定高八度，演員以低八度的音來歌唱。
（10）定弦，指弦樂器（琴、阮等）定“調門”的高低。一般都以笛子作為定弦的標。
（11）乙字調，京劇音樂名詞。工尺譜所用調門之一。定弦時，以笛子小工調的“乙”音（開啓第五孔，吹高音），定琴的“工”音（西皮調外弦的敞弦）。乙字調為京劇的最高調門。
（12）工正調，亦作正宮調。京劇根笛的音高定琴的調門，西皮外弦與笛正宮調的工音同高的稱為正宮調。比正宮調高出一度的稱乙字調，高出半度的稱工半調，比正宮調低一度的稱六字調，低半度的稱六半調，低二度的俗稱趴字調。
（13）工半調京劇調門之一。略高於正宮調，略低於乙字調。定弦時比照笛子的正宮調定音而略升高。
（14）軟工調，京劇調門之一。略低於正宮調，而較六字調稍高。定弦時比照笛子的正宮調定音而略降低。
（15）六字調，京劇調門之一。定弦時，以笛子小工調的“六”音（六孔全閉，吹高音），定琴的“工”音（西皮調外弦的敞弦）。六字調為京劇中低於正工調，高低適度的調門。
（16）趴字調，亦作扒字調。京劇調門之一。凡低於六字調一度以上的統稱趴字調。
（17）走邊，“走邊”的來源一說源於晉劇《白虎鞭·走邊》中的舞蹈身段；一說是因為凡走邊的人物因怕人看見而多在墻邊、道邊潛身夜行，故而稱“走邊”。一般來說，《惡虎村》的黃天霸走邊最難。《夜奔》的林衝走邊最，《蜈蚣嶺》的武走邊最吃功夫。
（18）趟馬，由於京劇中多以馬鞭來代替馬，或作為騎馬的象徵，因此凡手持馬鞭揮舞着上場運用圓場、翻身、臥魚、砍身、摔叉、掏翎、亮相等技巧連續做出打馬、勒馬或策馬疾馳的舞蹈動作的組就是京劇的趟馬。

AD 1790, Emblem classes to sing happy birthday to Beijing opera began to tour. After years of vicissitudes, constantly absorbing, the emblem of class, "Voice for the same five parties together," while gradually losing their color. Emblem of history class is over, but born out of the final emblem classes to become world-renowned Peking Opera art treasures, is the emblem of class, can be described as Nirvana.
Miyoshi classes starting Performances
Anhui to Beijing four classes
Beijing to celebrate the success of the three classes, there was Sixi classes, and spring classes, courses, the emblem of spring classes to enter Taiwan, Beijing, and gradually dominating the theater at the Capitol. This is the so-called "four major classes emblem to Beijing."
