It absorbed many kinds of factors such as Han Opera, Chu opera, Gaoqiang opera, Tea Picking Opera, Peking Opera, and gradually formed its own artistic characteristics. Huangmei Opera has a simple and fluent singing style, which is bright and lyrical, and has rich expressive force; its performance is simple and meticulous, which is famous for its real and lively.
