AbstractThe rise of Beijing Opera from middle to late Qing Beijing is closely connected with elite audience‘s fascination with cross-dressed boy-actors on stage, as well as the erotic pursuit of boy-actors services in restaurants and their master-owned ‗private-apartments‘. In Chinese sources this dual identity or role of the boyactors has to do with a long held conceptualisation of the performing traditions, chang you bingti (‗the conflation of prostitute and actor‘). This paper will detail how such a system and concept operated in the late Qing capital, the duties of the boy-actors, and the relation between troupes, theatres and ‗private apartments‘. I will also examine how this impacted on late Qing Beijing theatre culture, public space and the literati‘s socialisation.
