How did Taiwanese opera in Taiwan Province Province come into being?

The formation of Taiwanese opera is closely related to the development of Taiwan Province Province by Minnan people and the introduction of folk skills such as Quyi Jingge. "Gezi" means ditty and ballad. Taiwanese opera is mainly mixed with classical Chinese, which exposed the public to elegant vocabulary or stories of loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, and became one of the important entertainment activities in early Taiwan Province society.

At the end of Ming and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, when the national hero Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan Province Province, he brought the popular folk song "Jin Ge" to Taiwan Province Province, and soon it was widely sung in Taiwan Province Province. The masses spontaneously organized "Song Concert" and "Gezi Array" to sing golden songs. Later, Taiwanese opera flourished in the main island of Taiwan Province Province, and soon spread to Xiamen, and quickly spread to places where overseas Chinese live in southern Fujian and Southeast Asia.

According to legend, Taiwanese opera is developed by combining "Jin Ge" with car encouragement, musical and local ballads. Jin songs were originally a kind of rap art, which has been circulating in Zhangzhou since the Ming Dynasty. It's four ballads, and seven or five are one sentence. At first, they were just ballads describing daily life, and later they developed into local stories.

At that time, "Nanguan" sung in Quanzhou dialect was popular in Quanzhou immigrant gathering areas such as Mengga, Lugang and Tainan, while the vast majority of immigrants in Yanglan Plain were from Zhangzhou, so "Jin Ge" and "Che Gu" circulating in Zhangzhou merged into "local singers" in Yilan.
