Sichuan opera is a major feature of Sichuan culture. Chengdu is the hometown of drama. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that "Shu Opera was the best in the world". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, on the basis of the local car light drama, the voices of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places were absorbed and integrated, and a "Sichuan Opera" sung in Sichuan dialect was formed, with five parts: tenor, huqin, Kunqu opera, lantern and Tanxi. Among them, Sichuan opera is the main singing form of Sichuan opera with rich tunes, beautiful singing and the most local characteristics. The auxiliary cavity of Sichuan opera is leading cavity, combining cavity, chorus, accompaniment and duet, which means meaningful and fascinating. The language of Sichuan Opera is vivid, humorous, full of distinctive local colors, full of life breath and has a broad mass base. There are hundreds of common plays on the stage, including complete singing, doing, reading and playing, humorous quips, instrumental music, unique "face changing", "fire breathing" and "sleeves", and freehand stylized movements, which imply endless wonderful taste. Kunqu Opera, Gaoqiang Opera, Huqin Opera (Pihuang), Tanxi Opera and Sichuan Folk Lantern Opera, which were originally introduced from other provinces, were all created in Sichuan with Sichuan Opera masks. During the Qing Dynasty (1736- 1795), these five vocal arts often performed on the same stage, and gradually formed the same style over time. Sichuan opera is deeply loved by the world and spread all over the world. There are more than 20 widely circulated plays such as Wutai Xiong Hui, Dangliang, Gu Chenghui, Fang Kui in the stable, Gusutai and Qu Gaoping.
Wutai Brothers and Gu Chenghui are often performed in Sichuan now, as well as the famous Sichuan opera The Legend of the White Snake. Jinshan Temple is widely spread at home and abroad.
