The paragraph headed "Guimen Dan" and saying that this is the same as Qingyi is maybe not quite accurate.
Qingyi, also called Zheng dan, is a woman, a married lady, young or middle-aged.
Guimen dan, as the word implies, is a young unmarried girl.
So maybe only use the word "Qingyi" in the article?

so if i understand it right those roles were traditionally played by men? or some of those roles? there seem to be references both to actors and actresses throughout the text —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.127.244.111 (talk) 22:26, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on the genre. In Peking opera they were traditionally played by men, but not any more. In Shaoxing opera I believe they were always played by women. Timmyshin (talk) 05:04, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are still men singing dan roles, but they are scarcer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.89.231.30 (talk) 20:18, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are some differences between Guimen Dan and Zheng Dan, so I put Zheng Dan as a subtype by itself. Kukukukiki0 (talk) 01:13, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As the cited source states, Huashan is a blending of Qingyi, Huadan and Daoma dan. I've added Daoma dan to the explanation of Huashan.Kukukukiki0 (talk) 18:28, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
