Shanghai Opera is a local opera in Shanghai, belonging to the Tanquan system in Wuyu District, mainly distributed in Shanghai, southern Jiangsu and Hangjiahu area in Zhejiang. In order to distinguish it from other beach springs, such as Su Tan and Tan Yong, who also sang in Shanghai, they are called local beach springs and Shentan tunes, which are called "Bentan" for short. Shanghai Opera originated from the "small folk songs" in the rural areas along Wusong River and Huangpu River in Taihu Lake Basin. According to the historical records of 1796, it took more than 200 years from the earliest ancient painting drama to the contemporary Shanghai opera. 19 14, Shao, Shi Lanting and Ding Shaolan initiated the organization "Zhenxinji" to improve this beach and renamed it "Qushen". 194 1, "Shanghai Shanghai Opera Society" was established, and Qu Shen changed its name to "Shanghai Opera". 1953, the first state-level Shanghai Opera performance group-Shanghai People's Shanghai Opera Troupe (predecessor of Shanghai Opera House) was established. On May 20th, 2006, Shanghai Opera was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of 5 18 national intangible cultural heritage lists.
