Experience Charm of 600-year-old Opera Culture in Anshun, Guizhou

In Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China, there is an ancient traditional folk drama called "Dixi", where actors put on headscarves, wear battle skirts around their waists, masks on their foreheads, hold weapons like halberds and swords in their hands, sing as they wish, dance to the sound, and sing praises to the "superheroes" in Chinese histories such as Guan Yu and Yue Fei.

Anshun Local Opera, which has been passed down for more than 600 years, is still loved by the locals. It is not only a local opera, but also an important part of the treasure trove of Chinese culture.
