黄梅戏，旧称黄梅调或采茶戏，是中国最著名的传统戏曲之一。

Once called “Huangmei Tune” or “Caicha Opera”, Huangmei Opera is one of the most famous traditional operas in China.

黄梅戏是华东安徽省的地方戏剧，但实际上起源于18世纪湖北省黄梅县，当时正是中国地方歌剧蓬勃发展的时期。

As a local drama in East China’s Anhui province, Huangmei Opera actually originated in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, during the 18th century when Chinese local operas were flourishing.

黄梅戏被传入安徽省后，迅速在安庆市等许多邻近地区流传开来。

After being introduced to Anhui province, Huangmei Opera swiftly took off in Anqing City and many other neighboring provinces.

早年，大部分黄梅曲目都是以中国传统民间故事为依据。

In the early years, most Huangmei Opera Programmers were based on Chinese traditional folk tales.

但随着黄梅戏的兴盛，越来越多其他曲种的故事也被融合进来。

But as the opera flourished, more and more stories from other opera genres were incorporated.

现在，黄梅戏已经在农村和城市地区发展为专业表演曲目，成为数百万人的娱乐活动。

Now, the opera has grown into a professional performance piece in both rural and urban areas, becoming a recreational activity for millions of people.
