KUNQU OPERA
Kunqu Opera, one of the oldest extant forms of Chinese opera, originated in Kunshan of what is now Suzhou city in Jiangsu province. Using poignant lines from poetry classics and through melodious singing, it gained ground in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and spontaneously reached other parts of the country via the Grand Canal.
