The so-called "salt water cavity" drama is because the mountainside in Quangang District is in the blending zone of Puxian dialect and Minnan dialect, which forms the impure Minnan dialect in this area and becomes the mountainside cavity (that is, salt water cavity) itself. Some experts believe that Taiwanese opera on the mountainside does have its own special tone; Secondly, the big salt field halfway up the mountain is really salty enough. Calling the Taiwanese opera here "salty water cavity" Taiwanese opera not only shows the regional characteristics, but also emphasizes the uniqueness of timbre, which is a very distinctive title.
The origin of "saline cavity" xiang opera can be traced back to 1948. Mr. Shao, a master of xiang opera in Zhangzhou, went to Qianhuang Village (around the mountainside town of xiang opera Mountain) with a group of "Jin Ruixing" theatrical troupe 10, and was recovering from illness while performing. Because Mr. Shao is an easy-going opera teacher, he and the locals. At the beginning of liberation, Master Shao lived in the village for three years and returned to Zhangzhou at 1950. Soon, Taiwanese opera in Fujian Province was collectively called "xiang opera". 195 1 year later, Yuanfeng, Jinta and Guxian Hunan Opera Troupe were successively formed in the mountainside area. After 1978, xiang opera re-emerged halfway up the mountain and Huang Qian, and took the lead in setting up xiang opera Troupe in Hechi Village and Huang Qian Village to perform fifteen passes and other plays. 1979, Zhongcuo Village founded Zhongcuo Troupe (later renamed Yu Qilin Troupe), and wrote and performed such plays as "Civet cats for princes". 198 1 year, the first drama training class was held in Shanshan Town Cultural Station, and more than 30 outstanding students were recruited to form the "Mountain Side Experimental Kunqu Opera Troupe", which successively performed such plays as "Yuanyang Sword", "Three Thousand Flowers Cave" and "Sanchuangtang".
