After 1949, Huangmei Opera developed greatly. As a small folk opera from Anqing, it advanced into a local big opera repre-senting Anhui Province. A group of veteran artists sorted out and revised some outstanding small operas, such as Collecting Crass for Pigs, Husband and Wife Watch the Lanterns, and the traditional big opera Luopaji under the guidance of new artists.
Also, the new opera Spring Morning at the Inn was compiled.
