Thanks to the rich assortment of musical instruments employed, its varied tunes and its readiness to innovate, the opera has grown rapidly to become a major operatic form in Guangdong and [[Guangxi]] and also among overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and America.<br /> [[category:opera]]<br /> [[category:art]]</div>
