What are the characteristics of local operas?

As a manifestation of traditional culture, local opera refers to a form of drama that condenses the folk customs of a certain area and is loved by the public in that area. On the one hand, local opera is an important part of China's intangible cultural heritage; On the other hand, local operas are different from other intangible cultural heritages.

This is because local opera is a "living" form of traditional cultural expression, which not only inherits certain historical and cultural traditions, but also looks forward to the creative transformation of cultural traditions in expressing the spirit of the times. Because China has a vast territory, many ethnic groups and different dialects, there are various local operas besides Peking Opera. According to statistics, local operas in China are all over the country.

As an important part of China's traditional cultural expression, this is the case with local operas.

Although the creation and performance of local operas continue, surprising masterpieces appear from time to time; However, it is an indisputable fact that the audience of local operas is losing and the market is shrinking.
