Media about lei tai

The lei tai fighting stage has been the subject of various types of media; including Chinese film, video games, television, Literature, and music.

According to the “Regional Attachments and Dialects in Chinese Music” chapter in the book Global Pop, Local Language, “[During] the Riyue Mountain Hua’er festival [in 1995]…Singers for outdoor staged concerts were selected by auditions, invitations, and/or a simple registration process.

Most sang solo songs, but several concerts included a performance form called the 'Challenge arena' (leitai); this form resembles the dialogue singing of spontaneous events but with precomposed, rather than improvised, lyrics.”[18]
