After absorbing Huiban and Yangzhou Qing Opera repertoire, the social class formed a relatively mature Huagu Opera, because Huagu Opera was silk strings. Musical instrument accompaniment, singing exquisite, so commonly known as "small opening". Yangzhou incense opera evolved from burning incense to worship gods and incense in the original countryside. The "incense" is the wizard who presides over the activities of incense opera. Because the incense opera is accompanied by big gongs and drums and has a high singing voice, it is commonly known as "big opening".
