Jiaozhou Qiang Mao was well received.

1959, Li Yuxiang and other Qiang Mao operas "Lantern Story" went to Beijing to perform in Zhongnanhai. After watching the performance, they were well received by the party and state leaders. Subsequently, People's Daily published a review article entitled "Flowers of Jiaodong", praising Qiang Mao in Jiaozhou as a wonderful work on the art palace.

1985 in may, the famous writer He Jingzhi came to JIAOZHOU to watch Qiang Mao's plays. Excited, he wrote an inscription: "Keep the characteristics of traditional Chinese opera, be good at reform and innovation, enjoy with the people and keep pace with the times." From 65438 to 0986, Qingdao Qiang Mao Troupe created and performed a large-scale costume drama "Hong Wen Talented Woman" and a large-scale modern drama "Mrs. Jin", participated in the first Qingdao Summer Art Festival and the third drama month performance in Shandong Province, and won many awards such as the best performance award and the best creation award.

In 1990s, Qiang Mao Opera, like other operas, faced the problem of "low popularity". Therefore, JIAOZHOU Qiang Mao Troupe organized personnel to improve and enrich Qiang Mao's singing, and appropriately accelerated the melody and rhythm of the music, making Qiang Mao prosperous again. Qiang Mao's outstanding plays, such as Tokyo, Xijing, No.1 Scholar and Beggar, have been made into opera art films or recorded into albums, records and tapes by CCTV and China Recording Society, which are deeply loved by Qiang Mao audiences.
