Huai Opera, also known as Jianghuai Opera, has a history of more than 200 years. It has been continuously developed and improved in Shanghai at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. It has gradually stepped onto the professional opera stage from the teahouse theater. The singing tune of Huai Opera originated from folk rap and work songs. And martial arts play such as splits, handstand, and oolong twists are also outstanding. Modern Huai Opera has not only won awards for opera, but also performed in Europe, showing the artistic charm of Jiangsu on the international stage.
