The late Huangmei Opera Opera musician, playwright, opera theorist Wang Zhaoqian , has published a paper "A Brief Discussion on the Influence of Qingyang Opera on Huangmei Opera and its Relatives", which demonstrates the inheritance relationship between Huangmei Opera in vocal and repertoire and Qingyang Opera .
The late famous playwright, drama theorist, and a national first-class screenwriter, Mr. Shu also highly recognized Mr. Wang Zhaoqian's research. In his article "The Relationship between Huangmei Opera and Qingyang Opera and Other Operas": "In September 1982, Wang Zhaoqian and I attended the first national high-pronunciation conference held in Changsha, Hunan at the same time. At that time, Zhaoqian's paper was "A brief discussion on the impact of Qingyang Opera on Huangmei Opera and its relative operas". The article specifically discussed the inheritance relationship between Huangmei Opera and Qingyang Opera in both vocal and repertoire and Qingyang Opera. I remember that there were more than a dozen of them talking about the repertoire. I basically agreed with his opinion."
Another classmate, Mr. Shu, also said in the article "Language. Voice. Local Opera": "After ten years of catastrophe, Huangmei Opera has made great progress. After a great disaster, there will be a good harvest. Like its ancestor Qingyang Opera, it has almost become a fashionable and fashionable voice for people to listen, learn and sing." In this passage, he clearly pointed out that Qingyang Opera is the "ancestor" of Huangmei Opera. After the article, he also pointed out that "we should not forget our ancestors by counting the dictionaries." That is to tell everyone that when looking for the source of Huangmei Opera, don’t forget the “ancestor” of Huangmei Opera----Qingyang Arrangement.
