  ABSTRACT: Kunju is the most influential opera during the mid-Ming to mid-Qing Dynas-ty. It epitomizes the most elegant of literature and the most exquisite of tradi-tional Chinese art form. Kunju is a classic Chinese opera with unique music style. The Peony Pavilion was a play well known in virtually every house-hold in ancient times. The youth version of the Peony Pavilion is the latest adaptation well received by the audience, especially the youth. This paper takes an aesthetic perspective on the youth version and makes music analy-sis to illustrate that music practice should cater to aesthetic changes in mod-ern audiences.
