First, from the crosstalk performance of Xi You in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, to the corner play in the hundred plays in the Western Han Dynasty, and then to the military play in the Tang Dynasty, the story performance became increasingly rich and gradually became the main body of the drama. The other is from primitive song and dance to the formulation of "Nine Songs" in Sui Dynasty, and then to the performances of Dai Mian, Potou and Niangniang in Tang Dynasty. The folk song and dance art has made great progress, which provides a useful reference for the maturity of the official tune, qupai and rhyme of traditional Chinese opera.
