Beijing
Do you have a source? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:26, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I just know that's the standard term used in Beijing opera. If you do a Google search, you'll see it. Should we count it as Beijing? The dog2 (talk) 17:31, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The standard dictionaries in China only have 青衣, not 青衣旦. Not that that means 青衣旦 is not used, but it's just unclear. There is also the uncertainty that comes with the possibility of erhua (not that this word necessarily has it, but that's an uncertainty). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:34, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I see. Baidu Baike uses 青衣旦 though, so how reliable to you think that is? The dog2 (talk) 17:36, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not doubting the existence of 青衣旦, but the use of 青衣旦 in Beijing dialect specifically. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:39, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I see. Anyway, for Teochew, you can hear it here (around 4:25), since you're probably going to ask for that too. The dog2 (talk) 17:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've added some more data. While we're at it, do you have a source for Guangzhou? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:14, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That just appeared to be the standard term used in Cantonese opera based on a Google search, but feel free to remove it if you want something that is specific to Guangzhou. I was actually thinking of whether to put it under Guangzhou or Foshan since Cantonese opera actually originated in Foshan. I do wonder though if different terms are used for the same role in Beijing opera and Cantonese opera when people speak Cantonese. The dog2 (talk) 18:17, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Speaking of which, perhaps a bigger question is how we should treat this. As you know, there are numerous styles of opera around China; every knows Beijing opera, Yue opera and maybe Kunqu, but you have Cantonese opera, Teochew opera, Hainanese opera, Taiwanese opera, etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if the same role has a different name in a different style of opera. And should we list the Taiwanese opera term under Yilan instead of Taipei, given that Taiwanese opera originated in Yilan? The dog2 (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's possible that the roles have different names depending on which kind of opera. We can label them as we see fit. It really doesn't matter where we put names for Taiwan if we label it with GT, but it would be better to keep it under Taipei or Tainan if it's GT. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 18:39, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
