Cantonese Opera, also known as "Cantonese Opera" or "Guangfu Opera", is one of the traditional operas of the Han nationality. Originated from southern opera, it is popular in Guangfu people's inhabited areas such as the Pearl River Delta. Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty began to appear in Guangdong and Guangxi. It is a performing art that combines singing, reading, playing, musicians' music, stage costumes and abstract forms. Every business of Cantonese opera has its own unique costumes. Cantonese opera is the largest local opera in Guangdong Province. With the migration of Cantonese people and their love and singing of Cantonese opera, it spread to the overseas Chinese gathering places in Guangfu, such as the United States, Canada, Britain and Southeast Asia. For example, Singapore is known as "the second hometown of Cantonese opera". It was listed in the first batch of 5 18 national intangible cultural heritage list published on May 20, 2006. On September 30, 2009, Cantonese opera was recognized by UNESCO and included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind.

The arcade, which Chaozhou people call the five-legged masonry and Minnan people call the pavilion foot, is an architectural design with strong South China characteristics, which is used in Tang architecture. The part of the building facing the street on the first floor is built into a pedestrian corridor, and the second floor is above the corridor, just like the second floor riding on the first floor, so it is called "arcade". Nowadays, arcades are generally underground for business, and people live above the second floor. The arcade can not only prevent rain and sun, but also facilitate window display and attract business.
