Located in Foshan Chancheng, it houses the largest Cantonese opera museum in China, the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Museum.
Cantonese opera is one of the traditional operas in Guangdong. The "chao hang" at the beginning of the opera is enough to make people fascinated. Compared with the current pop songs, Cantonese opera sings history, listens to feelings, and is accompanied by several generations. The soul mate of man was included in the national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, and what is the basis for Foshan as the birthplace of Cantonese opera?
Canton Opera has "No Eight Harmony, First Jiqing, No Jiqing, First Qionghua", among which "Qionhua" refers to Foshan "Qionhua Club", which was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was the earliest Cantonese opera industry organization. Its establishment is enough to show that Foshan was the center of Cantonese opera development at that time. If you don't know the Qionghua Guild Hall, then the name of "Li Wenmao" must have been heard. He was an artist in the troupe during the Qing Dynasty. He and the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society Chen Kaihe held the righteous flag and led the Cantonese drama uprising against Manchu, which is the history of world drama. A feat.

The Yue Opera Museum is located in Zhaoxiang Park. It was originally a ancestral hall and was later converted into a museum. The Zongtang is a three-story, four-in-one building with a main building such as a head door, a pavilion, and a patio. The sides are symmetrically arranged with a wing, and the roadway is connected to the main building. The building is grand and exquisite, with exquisite design, lavish paving, blue brick wall, and many statues of folk figures based on the roof ridge. The whole preserves the three carvings and two plastics of Minnan architectural features
/ The hh/Cantonese Opera Museum collects the cultural relics of Cantonese opera, introduces the origin and development of Cantonese opera culture, and leaves a valuable historical legacy for future generations. It is closed every day at 5 pm and closed on Monday.
The museum contains a lot of costumes, props, script manuscripts, etc., which are used by the Cantonese opera family. There are more than 10 exhibition halls. It takes one or two hours to look at the circle carefully. It is worth going.
