Huangmei immigrants in the late Qing Dynasty

Huangmei Opera is the main local opera in Anhui Province. Most people are used to thinking that the birthplace of Huangmei Opera is Anhui, which is not accurate. Huangmei (county) itself is in Hubei, but it is at the junction of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. More than a hundred years ago, Huangmei tune was popular here, also called "tea-picking drama". A tribe in this little play gradually moved eastward and became a climate in Anqing, Anhui Province, forming the later Huangmei Opera.
