The Origin Period of Peking Opera

Huizhou merchants are rich, and the success of business has triggered a surge in cultural consumption desire. With the development of social economy and the rise of Kunshan dialect, there are many classes who support their families. They try their best to collect songs and dances for Qianlong, Xiajiang and Jiangnan, and are willing to pay a lot of money to package the color art of Anhui opera, which objectively creates conditions for Anhui opera to enter Beijing.

Huizhou merchants who ruled the Ming and Qing business circles for more than 500 years were famous for their salt merchants, especially Shexian County in Huangshan, which was rich in salt merchants. With the development of social economy and the rise of Kunshan dialect, scholars and businessmen in Jiangnan and Jiangbei have started family drama. Huizhou merchants who have made their mark in foreign business circles have followed suit.

A Chinese opera troupe used by Huizhou merchants for a long time is called "Huizhou Class" by outsiders. Local operas along the Yangtze River in Anhui, including ancient Huizhou, also began to flourish. They sang Kunqu opera because the language differences were not "tuned in" and they sang a little inadvertently.

Shipai tune produced in Huaining County, Anqing City, Anhui Province is the most famous. Huizhou artists went to Yangzhou with local accent, and they were sheltered by their families and strongly supported by Huizhou merchants. They either haunt the pier street or are taken in by the Fu family of Huizhou merchants. With the development of skills, the local accent gradually gained the upper hand.
