The earliest Qin Opera music depicts travelers: "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation".

Qinqiang Opera, also known as "Bangzi Opera" and "Shaanxi Bangzi", is one of the oldest operas of Han Chinese in China. It started in the Western Zhou Dynasty and originated from Xifu [the core area is Qishan (Qishan) in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province Xiqi) and Fengxiang (Yongcheng)]. Mature in Qin. One of the national intangible cultural heritages.

In ancient times, the area around Shaanxi and Gansu belonged to the Qin State, so it was called "Qin Opera". Because in the early performances of Qin Opera, jujube bangzi was often used as accompaniment, so it is also called "Bangzi Opera".

After Qin Opera took shape, it spread throughout the country. Because of its mature and complete performance system, it had varying degrees of influence on operas in various places, and directly influenced Bangzi Opera to become the ancestor of Bangzi Opera. The performance skills of Qin Opera are simple, rough, bold and exaggerated, with a rich flavor of life and rich skills.

The emergence and development of Qin Opera has profound historical origins and rich cultural background. At each stage of the development and spread of Qin Opera, there is a unique cultural background and a distinct mark of the times.

Qin Opera is a Han folk song and dance that originated in ancient Shaanxi and Gansu areas. It grew up in Chang'an, the political, economic and cultural center of ancient China, and gradually formed through the creation of generations of people.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Guanzhong area has been called "Qin", and Qin Opera got its name from this. Because the jujube wooden bangzi is used as the percussion instrument, it is also called Bangzi tune. Because it makes a "blurring" sound when hitting the knots with the bangzi, it is commonly known as "Huanghuanzi".

Li Tiaoyuan of the Qing Dynasty's "Yucun Drama" says: "It is said that Qian's Qian family decorated Baiqiu Waiji, and there is Qin opera. It started in Shaanxi, with the bang as the board and the Yueqin as the board, and there is also a sense of urgency. , commonly known as Bangzi tune, and Shu called it Luantan. "

The word Luantan has many meanings in Chinese opera tunes. In the past, operas other than Kunqu Opera and Gaoqiang were called "Luantan", and some also called it Luantan. Peking Opera is called "Luantan", and some operas are also named after Luantan, such as Wenzhou Luantan and Hebei Luantan, which are still used as the general name of the Bangzi Opera system with Qin Opera as the first and the main.
