Features: Quyi is an ancient national culture of the East, with a long history flowing through the vast river of Chinese history for thousands of years. Quyi is also known as "art" or "storytelling," a shining pearl in the vast treasure trove of folk art culture. It originated in the Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and became popular in the Song Dynasty (especially the Southern Song Dynasty). Due to the prosperity of commerce and the rapid growth of urban development, the special "wanshe art" and the folk art of "storytelling" also thrived alongside other wanshe arts.
