China was popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in Qing Dynasty. It rose in the Qianlong period and was named Tan. It first appeared in the form of a first-person narrator sitting and singing. After Daoguang, Kunqu opera gradually declined, and the beach spring followed, so it was transplanted into Kunqu opera in the form of sitting singing, and each fold was divided into four or five sections; It is a popular singing method of Kunqu opera, which is simple and complicated. It sings like a drum, recites like a word, and drags Kunqu opera, so it is called Gan Tan. In addition, it is sung in a folk song minor, which is famous for its funny songs and is called Houtan. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, small-scale operas flourished, and beach springs all over the country followed the form of operas and changed to make-up performances. With the increase of roles and the needs of performances, tunes and music gradually evolved, forming various local operas, such as Su Ju, Yong Opera, Xi Opera and Shanghai Opera.
A rescue performance was staged on the ancient stage of Shanghai Yuyuan Garden, which is an old Yong opera that has been lost. A group of old artists who used to be active on the stage of Yong Opera in this city made their debut in the past 40 years, which made people see the artistic style of this former Ningbo local opera.
Yong Opera, formerly known as Ningbo Tanchun, evolved from Quyi Tanchun. Originally known as "Chuanke", it was once called "Siming Opera" and "Yongjiang Ancient Music". /kloc-it was named Yong Opera only in 0/950, and it was popular in Ningbo, Zhoushan and Shanghai in its heyday. Yong Opera was introduced to Shanghai with a large number of Ningbo immigrants. Since the 1920s, there have been Yong Opera performances in Shanghai. After 1949, seven Yong Opera Troupes, including Liqun and Violet, were established in Shanghai, and all of them were dissolved during the Cultural Revolution.

With the progress of social civilization and the acceleration of modernization, on the one hand, regional culture and life customs are constantly narrowing the distance and narrowing the differences, on the other hand, the diversity of entertainment methods and consumers' choices for entertainment are increasingly colorful. Therefore, influenced by rhythm, local language, performance level, continuation period, performance venue (must enter the theater) and other factors, the survival of local operas is becoming more and more difficult. Local operas all over the country have not been spared, and some local operas have long ceased to perform, and have actually disappeared from the stage, such as Dan Opera in Danyang, Jiangsu, Copper Opera in Su Ju, Nantong, Mulian Opera in Suzhou Gaochun, and Shanghai Mountain Opera.
