Abstract
Huangmei Opera is a traditional local opera originating from Huangmei County, Hubei Province, China, known for its rich history and distinctive artistic style. It originated in the Ming Dynasty when Huangmei County was an economically prosperous place, attracting many opera artists to live there. Based on local folk art, they incorporated elements from Nanxi Opera and Yuan Opera, gradually developing a unique art form known as Huangmei Opera. During the Qing Dynasty, Huangmei Opera experienced significant development and prosperity. At the beginning of the 20th century, Huangmei Opera gradually incorporated modern drama elements and performance techniques, leading to a series of reforms and innovations. Entering the 21st century, Huangmei Opera is encountering new challenges and opportunities. Huangmei Opera, with its long history, has become an integral part of the Chinese opera tradition after undergoing several periods of development and evolution. It plays an important role in preserving and innovating traditional culture, representing the treasure of opera art and the national culture of Hubei.
