Anqing--this historical and cultural city, the most representative of the significance of the Huangmei Opera, if you mention the Huangmei Opera, then it must be associated with Anqing. So what exactly is Huangmei opera? In fact, Huangmei opera is the main local opera in Anhui. Huangmei Opera was originally called "Huangmei tune" or "Caicha opera", is the middle of the eighteenth century and then Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces territory formed a folk opera. One of them gradually moved eastward to the Anqing area centered on Huaining County, Anhui Province, and combined with the folk art of the time, sang and spoke in the local language, forming its own characteristics, which was called "Huai Cavity" or "Huai Tune". This is the predecessor of today's Huangmei opera.
Not long ago, Anqing held the fourth Huangmei Opera Festival, which attracted a lot of foreign tourists. I also watched the opening ceremony and some new plays on TV, and y felt the continuous development of Huangmei Opera.
I love Huangmei opera because of my love for my hometown. I usually hum a line or two: "Birds in pairs on the book ......" Whenever I hear this familiar song, I feel a sense of pride in my heart
