Three or four people, a thousand armies and horses, six or seven steps, a thousand rivers and mountains. "Martial arts, known as the indispensable" half platform "on the stage of drama, is praised for its skillful tossing and throwing, as well as the beauty of handlebars, the beauty of shaping the body, and the beauty of collective composition.

Taking the well-known traditional martial arts drama Sanchakou as an example, many versions of Beijing Opera, Sichuan Opera, Han Opera, Qin Opera Opera, Henan Opera, Kunqu Opera and other operas are often performed, which not only become the enlightenment drama for generations of Chinese children, but also shine on the international stage, letting the world see the infinite charm of Chinese opera.
