Peking Opera is the quintessence of China with a history of 200 years. After Class Four of Huizhou School entered Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty, Yu Jiaqing and Daoguang cooperated with Hubei artists and influenced each other. They gradually accepted some plays, tunes and performance methods of Kunqu opera and Shaanxi opera, and absorbed some folk tunes and Beijing dialect, and gradually integrated and developed. There are about 1000 traditional plays, of which about 300 or 400 are often performed. Among them, besides Anhui Opera, Han Opera, Kunqu Opera and Shaanxi Opera, quite a few of them were created by Beijing Opera artists and folk writers.
