Shaanxi Opera is one of the oldest large-scale operas in China. Because it originated in the land of Qin Long and was based on Guanzhong dialect in Shaanxi, it was named Qin Qiang. This is a great drama deeply loved by the people in the northwest. According to textual research, Qin opera was introduced into Ishikawa after AD 18000. At that time, because the society was in a period of great change and cultural exchange activities were accelerated, people frequently traveled between Lanzhou and Sichuan, and gradually became interested in Shaanxi opera art.
