Experts in the county told us that most of the Lantern Operas are sung in the local dialect, so it is usually spread in their own dialect area, that is to say, it is performed in fixed City Theater and country "Caotai" generally. But with the development of foreign drama, film, television and the popularization of Putonghua and English, space of local drama activities in Bashu are constantly being squeezed.

The old artists told us that if the Lantern Operas were still performed in traditional theater and "Caotai" with its own dialect, its performances and venues will be narrower and narrower, limit will be bigger and bigger and the audience will be less and less, that is why there is few young people go to see Lantern Operas.
