Compared with Henan Opera, Henan pendant has many differences. They both come from Henan, but the biggest difference between them is that Henan pendant is a folk art and Henan Opera is a traditional drama. The characteristic of folk folk art lies in oral rap, that is, oral rap is used to shape characters, convey characters' emotions and reflect social states in real life. Traditional drama, on the other hand, is a song and dance performance with drama as the form of expression, which is compatible with rap literature, music and dance.

In addition, Henan pendant has the form of rap. Generally, there are 1-2 performers, who either perform by one person with multiple angles, or sing by one or two people, accompanied by several musicians.

To sum up in one sentence, Henan opera is more complicated and diverse, while Henan pendant only needs to be good at rap and lively and simple.
