Qiongju's martial arts belong to the Southern School and his boxing belongs to Shaolin. It uses real knives and guns, and there are acrobatic performances. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many famous martial artists who could use 10 weapons, including flying swords through columns, piercing armor knives, dancing fire racks and other stunts.

In the setting of Qiong Opera, every class in the first few years hung a piece of white cloth in Taichung and drew the pattern of musicians. Musicians in the fields of literature and martial arts are placed on the left and right.
