The Development of Peking Opera Peking Opera is a type of traditional Chinese opera. Judging from the time of its birth and formation, Peking Opera has a history of more than 200 years.

In the fifty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, in order to celebrate the 80th birthday of Emperor Qianlong, the Sanqing Troupe of the Hui Troupe, with the famous Anhui opera artist Gao Langting as the mainstay, came to Beijing to perform.

After that, more than a dozen Anhui troupes came to Beijing one after another, among which the strongest ones were Sanqing, Sixi, Hechun and Chuntai, collectively known as the "Four Anhui troupes".

After the Hui Troupe came to Beijing, they extensively absorbed the strengths of Beijing Opera, Qin Opera and other operas that were popular in Beijing. They merged the northern and southern operas and gradually formed their own artistic style.

The arrival of the Hui Troupe in Beijing marked the beginning of Peking Opera.

During the Daoguang period, Han tunes from Hubei came to Beijing and absorbed and integrated with Hui tunes.

The fusion of Hui and Han tunes gradually formed a new type of Peking Opera.
