What kind of traditional music plays an important role in people's life in the Grand Canal?

Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, urban folk music, represented by cities along the canal, has gradually become one of the most representative folk music cultures in China during this period. Minor, folk songs, Qingqu, the bamboo in instrumental music, local folk music clubs, various local operas and ballads have been well developed in towns. For example, Kunqu Opera, which originated in Kunshan, entered Beijing through the canal and became a national opera.

This is the role of the Grand Canal in cultural exchange in China. On the basis of integration, comparison and mutual enrichment, various artistic interests and expression methods are retained. On the contrary, the cultural exchange between different regions took place quietly in the canal, and whether it was the reference to the north canal south or the south canal north, it constantly gave birth to new civilizations.
