The Origin and History of Sichuan Opera's Changing Face

Sichuan Opera originated in Qianlong and Jiaqing years of Qing Dynasty.

On the occasion of festivals, temples standing on the docks of towns and villages in Sichuan will set up a stage to celebrate. Over time, Sichuan opera has gradually become a climate in the streets and alleys. In Qing dynasty, "two lakes filling Sichuan" brought many new elements to Sichuan culture. Kunqu opera, Gao opera, Hu opera, Dan opera and Deng opera are gathered near the wine shops in major cities in Bashu. Life, Dan opera, purity and ugliness appeared on the small stage of the teahouse, and gradually formed the same style over time. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was collectively called Sichuan Opera, and later renamed Sichuan Opera.

As a second-class national secret, Sichuan Opera's changing face will also cause certain cultural losses when it is spread abroad. If it is not protected, it may be registered as a patent of another country by the Japanese like rice paper.
