In Peking Opera, stage curtains should not be used excessively; the fundamental principle is that the performance should drive the scenic setting, rather than the setting driving the performance. The design of stage curtains must align with shifts in the plot's time and space, thereby avoiding the error of having a scenic backdrop that is incongruous with the action - as exemplified by instances found in works such as *The Legend of the White Snake* and *Xi Shi*. The imagery depicted on the curtains should be closely integrated with the specific scene being enacted; for instance, in the opera *The Wild Boar Forest*, the scenic backdrop should undergo a transformation following the "circular walk" sequence. Furthermore, the use of curtains must not be allowed to overshadow the performance itself; overly intricate patterns that distract the audience should be avoided.
The excessive reliance on stage curtains may lead to a decline in the performance standards of young Peking Opera actors and, in turn, diminish the unique allure of traditional, stylized acting techniques.
