Guangong Xi in jing opera's stage dress and props is the key factor in the performance system. The key factor interact with other factors in the system, such as actors, audience etc., and play important roles of the performance system.There two major stage in Jing opera: 1.Royal stage for emperor, empress, and officials 2. Folk stage, for common audiences. Guangong Xi's stage dress and props will be different with different stages. What kind of attire and props can enter the palace to perform and what can not be showed at the palace stage. Besides the historical, cultural, economical and other reasons, state power also played a role. In Qing Dynasty, GuanGong Xi as topics such as "blasphemy" was repeatedly banned, but was still popular at folk stage. Folk art power is over the imagination. The Qing government finally had to repeal the ban and also allow the actor of Guangong XI to play at the palace stage.Attire and props in Guangong Xi are very important. Therefore, the senior artist of Guan Guangong Xi is constantly reforming the stage attire and props. But now, the Jing opera stage is more and more open minded and the stage technology more and more developed. But the performance of Guagong Xi is less and less played at the stage. This can count on the characteristics of Jing opera, even Chinese opera. The highest level of aesthetic in Jing opera is auditory aesthetic rather than visual aesthetic. Auditory aesthetic left more "blank" to the audience's imagination. Therefore, repertoires in Jing opera that can be handed down to the present stage are those whose vocals are the first.
