On the other hand, fans of Xiang opera feel that Taiwan-style ko-tzai-hsi with its dependence on audio-visual special effects and its poor stage technique, lacks the exquisite physical expression--flowing sleeves, the bending of the waist and the turning of the wrists, and especially the superb combat moves--that are seen in Xiang opera.
然而喜愛大陸薌劇的戲迷則覺得，時下台灣的歌仔戲藉助聲光特技，作功不夠細膩，經不起細看，不像薌劇裡講究水袖、下腰、轉腕等身段、武功把式尤其精彩。
