Since the 55th year of Qing Qianlong (1790), four Huizhou classes, Sanqing, Sixi, Chuntai and Hechun, which had performed in the south, have successively entered Beijing. 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.

After the formation of Peking Opera, it began to develop rapidly in the Qing court until the Republic of China. Peking Opera is an important means to interpret and spread the traditional culture of China. It is distributed all over China with Beijing as the center.
