HUANGMEI OPERA

Huangmei is famous for its tea and tea-picking songs, which evolved into Huangmei Opera . The Opera was derived from "Caicha" (tea-picking — "cha" means " Tea ") tunes and folk ditties which people sang while picking tea. It is a combination of local folk songs, dances, and some ancient operas. Huangmei Opera flourished in the 18th century to become one of the most famous traditional Chinese opera forms.
