Liyuan opera (simplified Chinese: 梨园戏; traditional Chinese: 梨園戲; pinyin: Líyuán xì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lê-hn̂g-hì) is a form of Chinese opera originating in Quanzhou city, Fujian province, China. In recent years, one of Liyuan opera's staunchest advocates and most celebrated performers has been Zeng Jingping. At the 2009 NPC session, she proposed incorporating the study of traditional operas into the national school curriculum.
