The Battle of the Dragon and the Tiger tells the story of Emperor Taizu of Song, who believed the words of a traitor, killed a loyal minister, Huyan Shouting, and later Huyan Shouting's son, Huyan Zan, avenged his father. It is said that Huyanzan was born as the Black Star, and Emperor Taizu of Song was the Emperor Zhen of the Song Dynasty. The passionate and noisy sound of gongs and drums creates a tense atmosphere, and the eager Jinghu and drumbeats herald a winding story; The high-pitched singing voice, telling the inexplicable love and hatred, screamed with all one's might, full of anger, as if fighting was imminent, making one feel a cold sweat. The grudges and enmities between two generations are reflected in both the performance of shadow puppetry and the tumultuous singing style.
