黃梅戲，舊稱(chēng)黃梅調(diào)或采茶戲，是中國(guó)最著名的傳統(tǒng)戲曲之一。

Once called "Huangmei Tune" or "Caicha Opera", Huangmei Opera is one of the most famous traditional operas in China.?

黃梅戲是華東安徽省的地方戲劇，但實(shí)際上起源于18世紀(jì)湖北省黃梅縣，當(dāng)時(shí)正是中國(guó)地方歌劇蓬勃發(fā)展的時(shí)期。

As a local drama in East China's Anhui province, Huangmei Opera actually originated in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, during the 18th century when Chinese local operas were flourishing.?

黃梅戲被傳入安徽省后，迅速在安慶市等許多鄰近地區(qū)流傳開(kāi)來(lái)。

After being introduced to Anhui province, Huangmei Opera swiftly took off in Anqing City and many other neighboring provinces.?

早年，大部分黃梅曲目都是以中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)民間故事為依據(jù)。

In the early years, most Huangmei Opera Programmers were based on Chinese traditional folk tales.?

但隨著黃梅戲的興盛，越來(lái)越多其他曲種的故事也被融合進(jìn)來(lái)。

But as the opera flourished, more and more stories from other opera genres were incorporated.?

現(xiàn)在，黃梅戲已經(jīng)在農(nóng)村和城市地區(qū)發(fā)展為專(zhuān)業(yè)表演曲目，成為數(shù)百萬(wàn)人的娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)。

Now, the opera has grown into a professional performance piece in both rural and urban areas, becoming a recreational activity for millions of people. ? ?
