Social drama is a traditional folk entertainment custom popular in Shaoxing. It is a drama of offering sacrifices to the country in the old Shaoxing Spring and Autumn Period to reward the country and pray for blessings. Social drama originated from the custom of offering sacrifices to social gods in rural areas in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At first, the Spring Society prayed for a bumper harvest, and the Autumn Society celebrated a bumper harvest for one year. Later, it developed into a performance to reward the gods and pray for blessings, and then it became a folk cultural and entertainment activity along the tradition. The custom of performing social drama in Shaoxing was popular as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was still popular in the late Qing Dynasty.
