The oldest ritual masked dance in Qinzhou. According to the Records of Qinzhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties, 1658 was popular in Yongle Capital of Qinzhou (now Dasi Town, Guitai and other Zhuang settlements), and it was extended to Zhuang and Qiang ethnic villages in the city fourteen years ago (1834). Initially, the time for offering sacrifices was the Mid-Autumn Festival every year (August 15 in the family calendar). In 35 years of the Republic of China, it was extended from the beginning of August to the end of August, and the villages took turns to hold it regularly. It is the same as the "music and dance" in the Huashan mural of Zhuang nationality in Guangxi. According to 1983, the staff of China Dance Research Institute went to Qinzhou to videotape the dance, saying, "This kind of dance legend originated in the Yao and Shun period, and now it is rare in China.
Qinzhou tea-picking opera
Folk song and dance drama system, which belongs to the category of traditional operas in China, originated in Jiangxi and was introduced to Qinzhou around 1780. After more than 200 years of reform, it has become a unique local tea-picking drama in Qinzhou. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 10 kinds of tea-picking songs and dances, more than 50 kinds of small plays, and more than 60 kinds of big plays like Shuner, which are popular with the masses.
Guangdong opera
Cantonese opera was originally called Guangban or Guangfu opera, but the masses called it "drama". In the past, Guangdong divided the troupe into upper six-mansion class and lower four-mansion class (Qinzhou lower four-mansion). Although the repertoire and gongs and drums are basically the same, the performances and martial arts skills of Shangxiafu Troupe have their own characteristics. In the 1930s, the lower four classes kept pace with the upper six classes, replaced Mandarin with Cantonese, and introduced popular dramas from various provinces and ports and actors from the upper six classes. The performance characteristics and traditional skills of the lower four classes gradually disappeared.
