China's plays are only a hundred years old. Introduced to China from the west, it was called "New Civilization Drama" before the May 4th Movement in the early 20th century. This early drama still has some features of China traditional drama. After the May 4th Movement, western drama was introduced as it is and appeared in the form of realistic drama, which is called "new drama". It was called "Drama" from 1928, and it has been used ever since. The form of performance is that all lines are dialogue or confession.
China's traditional opera is an important part of China's national culture, which is loved by people of all ages for its artistic charm. The form of performance is completed in four basic ways: singing, reading, doing and playing. China has a vast territory and many ethnic groups, so there are countless operas in China, and almost every province has operas that local people like.
