Mr. Shao Jianghai, the master of Zhangzhou Xiang Opera, came to Qianhuang Village (original Xiang Opera) with more than ten people from the "Jin Ruixing" theater troupe. (within the jurisdiction of Shanyao Town), he was acting while recuperating. Because Mr. Shao was an easy-going man and an opera teacher, he was very integrated with the local people. Therefore, more than a dozen local young people learned opera from him. Later, with the help of Mr. Shao Jianghai , Qianhuang Village also started its own Xiang Opera Troupe (called Gezi Opera at the time). At the beginning of liberation, Master Shao Jianghai lived in Qianhuang Village for three years before returning to Zhangzhou in 1950. Soon Gezi Opera in Fujian Province was collectively known as "Xiang Opera". After 1951, the Yuanfeng, Jinta and Guxian Xiang Opera Troupes were successively formed in the mountainside area. After 1978, Xiang Opera emerged again in Shanshan and Qianhuang. Hechi Village and Qianhuang Village took the lead in establishing Xiang Opera Troupe to perform plays such as "Fifteen Guan". In 1979, Zhongcuo Village founded the Zhongcuo Xiang Theater Company (later renamed the Jade Qilinxiang Theater Company), which wrote and performed plays such as "The Civet Cat for the Prince". In 1981, the Shanyao Town Cultural Station held the first drama training class, recruiting more than 30 outstanding students to form the "Shanyao Experimental Theater Troupe", which successively performed plays such as "Yuanyang Sword", "Three Strikes of Ten Thousand Flowers Cave", and "Three Chuang Tang".
