Fujian Opera

Traditional opera boasts a rich repertoire encompassing a wide range of themes, with four key singing styles captivating: Douqiang, Yangge, Jianghu, and Xiaodiao. Because it is performed in the Fuzhou dialect, it is also known as "Fuzhou Opera." The original form of the art form was Rulin Opera, featuring the "Douqiang" style. Douqiang was created during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty by Cao Xuequan of Hongtang Township, west of Fuzhou, by integrating vocal music from other provinces with Fuzhou folk songs and slang.
