In the late Qing Dynasty, Pingju was formed on the basis of the ditty "Opposite Lotus Falls" in Luanxian County, Hebei Province. It was first popular in rural areas of Hebei province, and then entered Tangshan, and was called "Tangshan Xiazi". It was popular in Northeast China around the 1920s, and a number of actresses appeared. After 1930s, under the influence of Peking Opera and Hebei Bangzi, Pingju became more and more mature, and schools such as Bai, Cailian and Ai Lianjun appeared. After 1950, Liu Qiaoer, Flowers as Media, Yang Sanjie's Complaints, Qin Xianglian and other plays had a great influence throughout the country, with new, famous and famous actors appearing. Pingju is still very popular in Hebei and Beijing.

Pingju is one of the most influential local operas in China, which was formed in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and has a history of about 70 years. It originated from "Lotus Falls" in eastern Hebei, and later absorbed the tune of "Tiao" in the northeast, so it was called "Tiao" and "Tiao" in its early years. At first, it was a counterpart singing method, similar to the "two-person turn" in Northeast China. Later, it gradually absorbed the percussion music of Hebei Bangzi, the singing and performance of Luanzhou Cinema, Laoting Drum and Peking Opera, and formed "Tangshan", which became "Fengtian" and finally became the current Pingju. Cheng is a famous actor and playwright in early Pingju. He wrote many new operas and adapted more than 100 plays, which played an important role in the formation of Pingju.

Its form is lively and free, and it is best at expressing the life of contemporary people, so it has a large audience in both cities and villages.
