It evolved from the Southern Opera in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and has a history of more than 50 years. In the long-term development process, Chaozhou opera has absorbed the essence of Chaozhou music and Han folk dance extensively, and at the same time, it has taken the advantages of other operas, and finally formed a Han opera with unique artistic style.
The roles of Chaozhou Opera can be divided into three categories: Sheng Xian (Xiao Sheng, Lao Sheng, Wu Sheng, etc. ), Dan line (Hua Dan, Lao Dan, wudan, Wushan), net line (commonly known as "bad face") and ugly line (clown, old ugly, ugly girl, etc.). Chaozhou opera has a unique artistic style in performance programs, especially the singers pay attention to euphemism, clear analysis and good listening.
Sheng Dan's performance skills are flexible, delicate and vivid; The clown's performance is funny and humorous, which is very popular with people. All transactions and gestures on the stage are programmed. For example, there is a basic rule for the movement position of the hand: "Hua Dan has a belly button, a young man on his chest, a black face and an eyebrow, and an old ugly man comes at random".
