China opera is mainly composed of folk songs and dances, rap and burlesque. It originated from primitive song and dance and is a comprehensive stage art form with a long history. From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Song and Jin Dynasties, a relatively complete opera art was formed, consisting of literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts, with about 360 kinds.

It is characterized by the collection of various art forms in a standard, which embodies their respective personalities in the same nature. China's traditional opera, Greek tragedy and comedy, and Indian Sanskrit drama are called the three ancient drama cultures in the world.

After a long period of development and evolution, China Opera Hundred Flowers Garden has gradually formed, with Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Pingju Opera and Henan Opera as its core.

The accompaniment, passing the door and running the strings of the aria played the role of maintaining the key and setting off the performance. Percussion music used in the opening ceremony, cut-outs and martial arts venues is an important factor in rendering the atmosphere and adjusting the stage rhythm and drama structure.
