At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the strumming vocal cavity was introduced into Anhui, which was combined with local vocal cavity and folk music to form a plectrum in Shipai, Zongyang and Tongcheng of Anqing. During the Qianlong period, the plectrum and the blowing cavity born out of Siping cavity gradually merged to form the second spring cavity. Erhuang Opera and Hubei Xipi formed a leather spring ensemble, which laid the foundation of Anhui Opera.
