Henan Opera, also known as Henan Bangzi and Henan Gaoqiang. Because early actors sang with their own voices, they turned up the ending tape with falsetto when they started and closed the cavity, which is also called "Henan Fu". Most of the performances in the mountainous areas of western Henan province are based on mountainous areas and Heping, which is called "Shout at the Back of the Mountain" locally. Because Henan Province is called "Yu" for short, it was named Yu Opera after liberation. Henan Opera is one of the main operas in Henan Province.

First of all, the style of Henan opera is full of passionate masculinity, and it is good at expressing grand scenes with strong emotional power; Secondly, it is rich in local characteristics, simple and popular, and naturally close to the lives of ordinary people; Thirdly, the rhythm is clear and powerful, the contradictions and conflicts are sharp, the story begins and ends, and the characters are angular.

The stage installation of the early Henan Opera performance is very simple, only a reed mat and a foil are needed, and a table and two chairs on the stage can start the performance. Those who beat gongs and drums are also "inspecting the scene." After entering the city, with a fixed theater, the stage equipment has been improved and some curtains and scenery have been used. The costumes of Dan in Henan Opera pay attention to "Lao Dan's feelings, Zheng Danjun's romantic feelings in Hua Dan". Since then, influenced by Beijing opera costumes, it is basically the same as Beijing opera costumes.

Henan Opera has strong local characteristics of Henan. Constantly innovating in the long-term artistic practice, the creation is from coarse to fine, and from coarse to fine.
