Yang Baosen (9 October 1909 – 10 February 1958)[citation needed] was a Peking opera singer.
Yang was best known for his "old man" roles (Chinese: 老生; pinyin: lǎoshēng) and was considered one of Peking Opera's "Four Great Beards" (simplified Chinese: 四大须生; traditional Chinese: 四大鬚生; pinyin: Sì Dà Xūshēng), along with Tan Fuying, Ma Lianliang, and Xi Xiaobo. He served as a mentor to Li Yuru.[1]
