The origin of line drama is very long, and now it is generally believed that it began in Han Dynasty, flourished in Tang Dynasty and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Duan Anjie wrote in Yuefu Miscellanies Puppet in the Tang Dynasty: "From ancient times, the Han ancestors were surrounded by Morton in Pingcheng, and one side of the city, that is, Morton's wife E Shi, was better than three sides. During the hunger strike at the base, Chen Ping learned that E Shi was jealous, that is, he made puppets, transported them to the organ and danced between them. E Shi looked at it and called it a stranger. He was worried that his city would take a prostitute in a rash, so he retired. " ..... music turned into a play when I got home. "The late Heyang Opera artist Lei Qingyun recalled in his early years that Heyang Opera was passed down from generation to generation and made great contributions to Hanwang. Xiongnu attacked the country and Hanwang was trapped in Pingcheng.

Dai Wang learned about the drama of Xihe (called Heyang "Xihe" in ancient times) and told Chen Ping. Chen Ping ordered craftsmen to imitate big puppets. They are lifelike, dancing on the tower of jathyapple. Attila's wife was jealous when she saw this scene. She was afraid of the Han family in Attila after the city was broken, so she relented and let Hanwang go. Later, Wang Xi abandoned the country and was pardoned as the Hou of Heyang. Wang Xi is Liu Zhong, the younger brother of Hanwang. According to Quan Zhi, Heyang County in Liu Zhongcheng is five miles northeast of Jinfang Town. According to "New Records of Heyang", Liu Zhongcheng was in Heyang Village, Wuli, northeast of Fangcheng Town. The legend of the artist is basically consistent with the historical records. "The Complete Works" records: "Emperor Yang Di made Huangyan a wooden man with two feet, and he wore it to continue the front edge, decorated with gold and jade, and was free to use it." This record is almost the same as the puppet image and size of Huxi Opera on Heyang Line. That is, the form of performance, and the records in the Tang Dynasty's Pen and Pen are also very similar to today's: "Jiahui at the end of the Han Dynasty, especially Gao Wei in the Northern Qi Dynasty, used puppets", "Today's custom is to play on silk, which means to connect people, hold the tail and put it in the account (outside)."

Hanging silk puppet is the ancient name of marionette, and "tent" is called "Liangzi" in Huxi Opera on the Heyang Line. During the performance, the artist stood behind Liangzi and the puppet came from outside Liangzi. "Tongdian" said that opera had been included in the category of song and dance in the Tang Dynasty. There is a poem "Geisha" written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (it is said that it was written by Liang Wudi) in The Record of Ming Taizu: "Carving wood to tie a thread is an old man, and chicken skin is the same. Just like a dream in life: "Although there is no explicit mention of the Huxi Opera on the Heyang Line in the poem, the structure of the' carved wooden line' and the shape of the' chicken skin and crane hair' are exactly the same as the puppet shape of the Huxi Opera on the Heyang Line, which also shows that the Huxi Opera in the Tang Dynasty has become very popular. Knock and sing, act and sing.

Heyang Line Troupe Company belongs to a performance group with half agriculture and half art. Artists are busy farming and performing in their spare time. In the development of drama, many famous artists came forth in large numbers. Take Modern Times as an example. Wang Wuhan (stage name "Six Eight Sons"), Du Jinhu, Yan Xilao (baby with pink eye), Wang Yurun, Lei Zhennan, Ma Dongxun (a nest of turtles), (thirteen babies) and Li (wolf bites children) are all people who tell stories on drums. They pay attention to sound, and they are full of emotions. Everyone can say 50 or 60 plays, and the most can say more than 100: although they have been dead for many years, they are still talked about by the masses. The storyteller has a great responsibility. He is responsible for the life and death of a play, paying attention to loud voice and clear articulation. The singing of linear opera is carried out in the interval of music, and only the guzheng beats the rhythm, which sounds pleasant. People in Heyang mainly listen to and watch puppet shows, so many people are happy with their backs to the stage.

Lifting strings is the main performance method of Heyang Line Opera. According to different roles, the number of puppet strings varies from five to twelve, and increases to seventeen, eight or even more than twenty according to the specific situation. I am 80-90 cm tall and weigh 3.5-5 kg. Through the skillful use of lifting, poking, hooking, picking, twisting, swinging, flashing and shaking by line artists, puppets are endowed with artistic life, vivid movements and strong puppet characteristics. You can naturally take off your hat, undress, move a chair, swing a pole, flash your wings and other stunts. Li Guan, a dramatist in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, made bold reforms in the puppet structure, modeling and singing of Heyang Line Opera, and specially wrote plays for it. Khan, Liu and the Party are all famous artists. The cutting-edge wang hong citizen and Xiao Wangfeng created many difficult movements, such as holding a chair, writing a eulogy, flashing a pole and so on, which won a lot of praise.

There are quite a few traditional operas in "Line Chamber", which can be roughly divided into three categories, namely, love dramas, historical dramas and case-solving dramas, with about 500 kinds. There are twelve love birds, twelve dragons and phoenixes, twenty-four volumes and seventy-two paintings, which are often performed in The West Chamber, the Immortal Pagoda and the Golden Hairpin.

Heyang puppet show, with simple modeling and exciting singing, has a generous and tragic style in the land of Sanqin, and its luster remains the same. Its music, singing, knife white, puppet modeling and stage art are all unique.
