It is one of the oldest forms of Chinese drama and is said to have been circulating among the people for more than two thousand years. The singing style of Qin Opera is called plate-style change, that is, through the change of rhythm, melody, etc., the melody as the keynote has a flexible development and change. Its style is sometimes solemn and deep, generous and high, and sometimes light and bright, lively and happy, very expressive. Based on Shaanxi Guanzhong dialect, the singing and reciting of Qin Opera are simple and rough, full of life.
