It is the local opera with the widest broadcast area and the largest audience among all kinds of operas in southern Fujian. It originated from a costume parade which was popular in the rural areas of southern Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, dressing up as a Liangshan hero and performing martial arts skills.
