Is Huangmei Opera named after Huang Meihua?

Huangmei Opera originated in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, but gradually developed in Anqing, Anhui Province. There is an old saying in Anqing that "Huangmei is a more beautiful Huangmei". Huangmei Opera is called Huangmei Opera because it comes from Huangmei County, Hubei Province. Huangmei Opera in Anqing, Anhui Province, has a more beautiful singing style than its original place. After several historical periods, Huangmei Opera gradually formed from the initial folk drama and became one of the intangible cultural heritages in China today. 1784, the drought in Huangmei county was followed by floods, which caused the local victims to migrate and make a living by singing. Huangmei Opera has formed its own unique characteristics because of the integration of its beautiful tunes and local folk arts, and it is in this situation that it germinates. From the end of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty to around the Revolution of 1911 in the Republic of China, this period was the initial development stage of Huangmei Opera. Influenced by the harmony of Qingyang, the folk operas in this period formed an overall drama form with the story line as the main line. Nevertheless, the drama of this period still appeared in the form of rural workers entertaining themselves. Although they reflect the life of rural workers, they have not formed a fixed form of performance. From the Revolution of 1911 to 1949, Huangmei Opera gradually became professional. During this period, Huangmei Opera stepped onto the city stage from the original rural style, and the troupe of Huangmei Opera gradually moved towards a formal and fixed model. At the same time, the performance form of Huangmei Opera has gradually changed, which is richer in performance, easier to understand in language and accepted by the audience. Since the founding of New China, Huangmei Opera has ushered in a period of rapid development. Its rapid development has created a number of outstanding Huangmei Opera artists. However, the birth of these artists has also promoted the continuous development and growth of Huangmei Opera, and at the same time, it has also led to the widespread spread of classic songs such as "A Fairy Match", "Ma Xu" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" among the people, enjoying a worldwide reputation. At the same time, these classic tracks have also been made into TV, which has influenced more people and the culture of China. Huangmei Opera has experienced a long historical development period from small to large and from scratch in China culture, and its unique singing style is also known as one of the five major operas in China.
