So that even a story as fanciful and fun-filled as that in Journey to the West is performed in a thoroughly serious way. What knowledgeable aficionados appreciate is the refined and antiquated dialogue, the raucous pei-kuan music, and the dexterous manipulation of the puppets.
因此即使是充滿神怪、逗趣的西遊記，演出仍然十分嚴肅，但看門道的老戲迷欣賞的正是那抑揚頓挫的文言口白、鑼鼓嘈切的北管音樂，以及每一個擬似真人的戲偶操作。
