Program is a unique manifestation of traditional Chinese opera reflecting life, and it is a regular free action. It is the artistic processing of the natural form of life, making it a standardized form and giving performance a basic fixed format. In short, it is the standardization and dancing of life movements. The traditional Chinese opera formula is condensed by artists of past dynasties through long-term stage practice, and it is the main feature of China's traditional Chinese opera in the form of expression.

Life movements on the stage of Chinese opera, such as opening doors, pushing windows, drinking, writing, getting on a horse, getting on a boat, etc. There are performances that are different from the natural state of daily life. They simplify the trivial details of daily life actions to a considerable extent, and choose key actions to modify and beautify them, making them more vivid, accurate and beautiful than their original lives. There are also some performances that combine a series of actions. In addition to the standardization of movements, it has more dances, such as "walking on the edge" symbolizing haste. Generally, it is a program that shows that people with martial arts shoulder heavy responsibilities and go into battle lightly. It is often used in specific occasions such as reconnaissance, patrol, night walking, sneak attack or rushing. Through the combination of lifting shoes, copying and kicking, rotating and other actions, it shows walking, peeping, finding the way and hiding. Another example is "July 8th", which is a coherent combination of a set of basic movements such as the appearance, appearance, cloud hand, kicking, lunge, squatting, cross-legged sleeves and tightening armor. "July 8th" was originally designed by an actor who played the overlord to get up in the middle of the night and put on armor for this role. Later, it became a standardized expression of military commanders' appearance, as a manifestation of ancient soldiers wearing helmets before going out to war.
