also known as "Chaoyin opera" and "Baizi opera", was formed before the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and was named after the founding of New China. Early Chaozhou opera had a close relationship with southern opera. The roles have undergone development and changes over the generations. Now they are divided into 10 kinds of ugly, 7 kinds of female, 5 kinds of male, and 3 kinds of clown. The performances of female and ugly are more distinctive. Jieyang has always been known as the "hometown of drama" and "hometown of small drama".
