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 is the best in the world". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, on the basis of the local Chedeng Opera, the vocal styles of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi and Gansu were absorbed and integrated to form "Sichuan opera" sung in Sichuan dialect, which contains five vocal styles: Gaoqiang, Huqin, Kunqiang, Dengxi and Danxi. Among them, Sichuan opera Gaoqiang has rich tunes, beautiful and moving singing styles, and the most local characteristics. It is the main singing form of Sichuan opera. The chorus of Sichuan opera is even more fascinating. The language of Sichuan opera is lively and humorous, full of distinct local colors, rich life atmosphere and broad mass base. There are hundreds of repertoires commonly seen on the stage, with singing, acting, reciting and fighting, witty and humorous, instrumental chorus, "face changing", "fire breathing" and "water sleeves" are unique, and the freehand stylized movements contain endless wonderful tastes. Sichuan opera is loved by the world and has traveled across the oceans and spread all over the world. The Tieniu Street Sichuan Opera Singing Troupe in Fucheng District, Mianyang City, organized by the troupe leader Zhou Yongxiu, has performed 692 shows since its premiere on June 10, 2006, receiving about 145,000 people as of May 12, 2008.
