Hunan ancient painting drama has a history of more than 200 years, and it has gone through a process from simple to complex, from folk song and dance to ancient painting, until it can perform the whole drama. On the basis of local folk songs, folk songs and hummed songs, the development of Hunan ancient painting opera tunes has developed into several basic tunes, which are applied to plays with simple plots. Later, due to the complexity of the drama plot and the requirement of expressing people's thoughts and feelings, the original tunes became music cards with different rhythms, which can express different emotions and are suitable for male or female voices. From the point of view of music development, the senior opera artist (folk composer) of ancient painting has created many tunes according to the needs of drama content and using the law of "one song is changeable". It is also said that a set of techniques for the development of tunes are summed up in some vivid languages, such as "changing techniques", "changing tails", "changing bones", "turning up", "tearing or squeezing eyes", which are actually created by means of tone sandhi, tone sandhi, mode transformation, interval shift, rhythm expansion or compression. The so-called "variation" is the combination of modulation and variation; "Changing the tail" and "changing the bone" are the mode of change and the backbone sound; "Turn up" and "Turn down" are interval shifts upward and downward; "Tearing or squeezing the board eyes together" is the expansion or compression of the rhythm. At the same time, they also absorbed other folk music and other operas from other provinces or provinces, leaving valuable wealth for future generations.

In the past, because the ancient paintings and operas were discriminated and banned by feudal pedantic forces, the local troupes of ancient paintings and operas were all called "semi-troupe" or "semi-drama and semi-tune" and "Yin and Yang team" under the guise of performing local popular dramas. There are more than 400 traditional repertoires of ancient paintings and operas in various places. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Huagu Opera in Hunan Province flourished, not only sorting out traditional operas such as Chopping firewood with Liu Hai and Hunting Birds, but also creating many modern operas such as Double Food Delivery, Busy Sister-in-law and Sanliwan. Playing Gong, Pouring Pots, On the Way to Delivery and Yeyadao have all been made into movies.

Gong tune, 3. Cave tune (that is, stone bow tune) and 4. Minor. Sichuan tune originated from folk songs and ballads. According to the mode, it can be divided into palace mode and Yu mode. Palace mode emphasizes six tones, while the mode emphasizes seven tones, with a particularly strong flavor of opera. Gong cavity originated from humming songs and labor trumpets. Originally, there were only gongs and drums and suona accompaniment, and human voices helped to sing the tail cavity, hence the name Gong cavity. Now this form of supporting cavity has been basically cancelled. Cave cavity, originated from the joy of teaching, also known as teacher cavity. Sichuan tune, Gong tune and cave tune are collectively called orthodox tune, which is relatively square in structure and is often used repeatedly in the form of "antithesis" or "combination". Minor is some primitive folk songs, ballads, urban minor and string minor, which expresses simple feelings. Some minor tunes have been greatly developed, which can express a variety of emotions and be incorporated into normal tunes.
