Where does Chu Opera come from?

Chu Opera, also known as Chu Opera, is one of the local opera types in Hubei Province. It was originally popular in Huangpi and Xiaogan areas. Chu Opera is a type of drama formed by combining the "Ohhe tune" of Edong with the language and music of Huangpi and Xiaogan. In the early days of its formation, it was only sung during the Lantern Festival in rural areas, so it was also called "lantern opera". After the founding of New China, Chu Opera achieved unprecedented prosperity and development. The popular areas of Chu Opera have also expanded to most places in central, northern and southeastern Hubei. Chu Opera is mainly popular in more than 40 counties in seven cities, including Wuhan, Xiaogan, Huanggang, Jingzhou, Xianning, Yichang and Huangshi.
