Huxian Quzi, also known as "Meihu", is commonly known as "Mihu" and "Quzi Opera". Literati and scholars call it "Qingqu". It is popular in Xi'an and Guanzhong areas, and is also widely popular in southern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi. It is one of the main opera genres in Xi'an. "Quzi Opera" originated from Qingqu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and Quzi in the Song Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1,400 years. The exact time of its formation is difficult to verify, and it was probably in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1850), formal performance troupes had already appeared, most of which performed on the same stage with Qinqiang, and were called "Fengjiaoxue" by the people. Its formation mainly went through two stages of development: family drama and stage drama. Family drama is a seated singing form of "self-entertainment meeting", "reciting songs", "ground stalls" and "bench songs". It is divided into two categories: one is Qingke Quzi, which is sung by scholars and scholars for entertainment after tea and wine, and the lyrics and music are relatively elegant; the other is Jianghu Quzi, which is a form of folk entertainment and artists singing on the stalls, mostly reflecting the popular folk life content. At the same time, it also absorbed many artistic expression techniques and performance repertoires of Qinqiang Opera. With the development of history, Mihu Opera, in addition to following the performance forms of sitting around the table and performing "bench Quzi" on the stalls during the "Qingqu" and "Quzi" periods, gradually developed into a performance form with stage performance as the main form. The repertoires performed at the beginning were mainly two or three small plays, and the roles, plots, and artistic techniques of the repertoires were relatively simple. After performing on the same stage with large-scale operas such as Qinqiang, many large-scale repertoires were transplanted, making it a large-scale opera with complete lines, rich repertoires, and diverse expression techniques. The traditional repertoires performed by Mihu are very rich. In the 1960s, there were more than 520 traditional repertoires excavated, sorted and stored. Its singing music belongs to the music system of the qupai system, which is composed of words and sentences of varying lengths to form a musical structure of qupai sets. There are 72 major keys and 36 minor keys. The structure of major keys is relatively complete and has a strong dramatic quality, while the structure of minor keys is close to folk songs. The musical instruments used in Mihu are divided into civil and martial arts. The civil music was originally based on the sanxian, supplemented by banhu and haidi. With the development and evolution of Mihu opera, yangqin, erhu, violin, viola, cello and some Chinese and Western wind instruments were added; the percussion instruments in the martial arts are basically the same as those of large-scale operas such as Qinqiang, including drum boards, teeth, large and small gongs, cymbals, hinges, bangzi, and bells.
