In Jingju (Peking Opera), the Dan is a role type representing female characters. It includes subtypes like Qingyi (virtuous, elegant women, often with a focus on singing), Huadan (lively, flirtatious young women, emphasizing expressive acting), Wudan (martial female characters skilled in acrobatics and combat), and Laodan (older women, often matriarchs, with a lower-pitched singing style). Dan roles are known for their graceful movements, high-pitched vocals, and elaborate costumes.
