Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest traditional forms of drama in China. It developed in the early Ming Dynasty and dominated China's dramas in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. So far, it has a history of more than 600 years. Many traditional dramas in China, including Peking Opera, are developed on the basis of Kunqu Opera, so Kunqu Opera is known as the "mother of China drama". Kunqu Opera was listed as "one of the representative works of oral and intangible heritage of mankind" by UNECO in 200 1 year. China became one of the 19 countries that won such a special honor for the first time.
