Based on this, it appeared as a drama with a history of at least 170 years. Its origin is that Zhang Jinchuan, a blacksmith in Henan Province, introduced and developed the burning board cavity in Changzhi Yin Cheng area; First, it is developed from local minor (especially rammed songs); A troupe composed of artists from Xiahe, Beizhang, Moyu, Xiying and other villages 18 has processed a certain tune (unknown title). Although there are different opinions and there is no way to verify it, there is no doubt that it is a unique drama developed, sorted out and perfected by the working people in our county.

After nearly a hundred years of performance, the traditional Chinese opera has become more and more mature. On the eve of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there were two basic boards, namely, adagio, crying board, overlapping board and scattered board. In addition, call, transfer, stay, pass and cut the basic norms. In the product line, Dandan is subdivided into Xiao Dan, Zheng Dan, Lao Dan, Cai Dan, Huadan and Baodan.

Because it is adjacent to the border of Xiangyuan, and the customs of the masses are the same, Wuxiang Yangko soon flowed into Xiangyuan as soon as it came out, forming two tribes now.
