Where does Huangmei Opera come from?

Huangmei Opera originated in Huangmei, Hubei Province and grew up in Anqing, Anhui Province.

During 1958, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other party and state leaders watched Huangmei Opera "Crossing the Boundary Ridge" performed by Huangmei Opera Troupe in Huangmei County in Hongshan Auditorium.

After watching the play, Chairman Mao said doubtfully, "How did your Huangmei Opera in Hubei go to Anhui?"

Bai Mei, then Deputy Secretary-General of Hubei Provincial Committee, reported the situation to Chairman Mao.

Huangmei county is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In the past, most of the terrain was lower than the river bank. There is a saying that "the river flows in the house and the people live in the middle". Natural disasters are frequent, and floods are more prominent.

Frequent disasters forced Huangmei people to learn to sing Huangmei Opera one after another to meet the needs of escaping from water shortage, fighting in boxes and begging for survival in different places in disaster years. This greatly promoted the development of Huangmei Opera from mountainous areas to rivers and lakes plain areas, and radiated to the adjacent areas of Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui.

Chairman Mao suddenly realized: "Your Huangmei Opera was washed to Anhui by the flood!" Chairman Mao also praised: "You Huangmei people had better play your own local opera well. The local flavor is very deep and touching, and I have become a Huangmei guy. "

1Feb. 995, Huangmei County was named "Hometown of Huangmei Opera" by Hubei Provincial Department of Culture. 1August, 995, was awarded the title of "Hometown of Huangmei Opera" by the Ministry of Culture.
