How many years ago did Tibetan opera originate, and how many years ago did Beijing opera originate?

Tibetan opera originated about 600 years ago, more than 400 years earlier than Beijing opera, which is known as the national quintessence.

Tibetan opera originated from Tibetan religious art in the 8th century. The predecessor of Beijing Opera is Hui Opera. Since the fifty-fifth year of Qing Qianlong (1790), it has performed Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, which were originally performed in the south. Four Huizhou classes went to Beijing one after another. They cooperated with artists in Hubei, accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu Opera and Shaanxi Opera, and absorbed some local folk tunes. Through constant communication and integration, Peking Opera was finally formed.
