　　Fu Jin, vice chairman of the China Association of Literary Critics and director of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Opera, pointed out that as a performing art, the core competitiveness of opera comes from the "skills" acquired by actors through long-term hard practice, and "skills" are reflected in professional performances.

The opera industry is a series of basic skills of "singing, reading and doing", which have been explored by the predecessors through a lot of stage practice for thousands of years.

Grasping the business is to grasp the "technical" system and grasp the basic skills.

　　Fu Jin believes that opera actors should start from the profession and master the basic skills and basic repertoire of the profession.

If the "technique" of the profession is solidly mastered and skillfully used, the actors will not be framed, will not feel that there is a gap between them and the characters in the drama, and will not act too "superficially".

　　Li Jide, president of the Chinese Opera Performance Society, explained the important value of the art of business.

He believes that the art of Xingdang is the core link of Chinese opera art. The generation of Xingdang is a reflection of people's cognition of life and the world in art, and the art of Xingdang is the creation of countless opera performing artists.

There are more than 300 types of operas that are not exactly the same, but the arts are all exquisite, which makes Chinese operas have a high sense of beauty; each type of opera has its own innovations and creations, and learns from other types of operas, which has created the richness of the art of the industry. It has also become an important reason why opera is popular and loved by people.

　　Chen Qiaoru, a first-class actor and a representative inheritor of Sichuan Opera, a representative project of national intangible cultural heritage, made a suggestion based on her 40 years of experience in performing Sichuan Opera. Firstly, the teacher who arranges the industry to take the young actors to learn the representative repertoire of the industry; as an opera actor in the new era, he must inherit the industry well, but the performance should not be limited to the industry, there should be performances across the industry, so as to play a good character .
