? Wu Qin Opera was created by Hua Tuo on the basis of Zhuangzi and Erqin Opera. Its name and function are recorded in Biography of Fang Shu and Biography of Hua Tuo in the later Han Dynasty: "I have a skill, which is called the play of tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird.

The first play in the Wuqinxi series is Tiger Play, which is named after imitating the fierce actions of tigers. The movements are as follows: The body is upright, the feet are shoulder-width apart, the hands are slightly lifted forward, and the five fingers form a Tiger Claw. Then the fist slowly lifted from the front of the body to the top of the head with breathing, and the five fingers separated into Tiger Claw. Then Tiger Claw pulled his fist to one side, loosened it, and stood up straight easily. This is the first action, done ten times in a row. In the second movement, in the process of Tiger Claw's lift in the first movement, the waist bends forward, the double Tiger Claw makes a tiger jump forward, then closes the waist, the left foot extends forward, the toes hook back, the right foot half keeps the leg flexion posture unchanged, the double Tiger Claw extends forward, draws a circle on the side with the recovery of the left leg, and then the feet are restored to the upright and separated state, and the hands are relaxed and placed on the side, and this action is repeated. The difference is that the left and right feet rotate forward to hook the toes and claws.
