Wudang Divine Drama is a kind of folk drama that has been handed down in Qingtang Village, Xijiadian Town, Danjiangkou City, and the surrounding areas at the north foot of Wudang Mountain, and has been handed down for 20 generations. Around the fourth year of the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty (1624 AD), the rich Wangs of Qingtang Village invited the Tiaozi Opera Troupe in Xichuan County, Henan Province, to form a private opera troupe with the local Bachazi Opera Troupe, so that Tiaozi Opera and Bachazi Opera can perform on the same stage and coexist for a long time. Later, Diaozi Opera gradually evolved into a god worship opera serving the Taoist activities in Wudang Mountain, incorporating Taoist music and cultural elements, and gradually evolved into the Wudang God Opera in Qingtang Village by constantly absorbing the music nutrition of Bachazi Opera and folk songs. In the Qing Dynasty, when the troupes did not sing the divine drama, they usually sang the Bachazi drama, which was mostly a small drama of life, to make trouble; Then, singing more tunes of historical plays and original plays, which played a role of the last stage. This custom was spread to the early days of liberation.
There are more than 110 existing operas in Wudang, among which, the tunes of the operas include the god drama "Things in the Sky", "Han Xiangzi Huazhai", etc., the local operas include "South Bridge Meeting", "Liu Hai Chops the Woodcutter", "Yin Yang Mistakes", "Fenshui River", etc., and the eight fork operas include "Sending Fragrant Tea", "Four Persuasions", "Zhang He Resces His Wife", "East Chamber Meeting", etc. Now, before singing the original drama, the curtain is opened with "God worship drama" to show their piety. Diaozi Opera is rich in singing, with nine tunes and eighteen tunes. The singing is beautiful and has strong local characteristics; Bachazi Opera has five tunes. Generally, one lead singer helps others behind the scenes, which sets off each other in front of and behind the scenes. It is meaningful and makes people think of it elegantly. The Jiefang Foreplay Class has a jingle of "Wan Rang can sing, Liu Sihui can wave, Ma Changchun can swell". "Singing" refers to being good at singing Huadan, "wave" refers to being good at performing actions, "swell" refers to being good at singing romantic (love) dramas, and "singing, wave, swell" has almost become a synonym for the image of Wudang's divine drama.
