“…It would be hard to imagine any movie or television program that could offer so much. Several scholars have pointed out that China's "primitive theatre," of which nuo drama is the most prominent example, functions as both ritual and entertainment (Yu 1989;Qu 1989;Huangpu 1989). This is also true with Sacrifice to the Mountain.…”

As an important part of Chinese traditional culture, Jiangxi Opera has been listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritage and is the traditional drama of Jiangxi Province. However, it is understood that in some other Jiangxi Opera troupes, Jiangxi Opera, like most local operas in China, is also facing a shortage of actors, and there is a gap between new and old actors. A series of problems, such as the loss of an audience and the lack of performance venues, has led to a vicious circle in the development of Jiangxi Opera, which is in danger of being lost. Many local opera troupes are facing difficulties that they cannot continue to survive. Through studying the methods of popularizing Jiangxi Opera in universities, this paper introduces three methods of integrating Jiangxi Opera into the classroom, regularly carrying out Jiangxi Opera activities, and establishing Jiangxi Opera clubs, to make Jiangxi Opera more popular on campus, cultivating more Jiangxi Opera lovers, enabling students to understand and learn Jiangxi Opera more closely, and participating in learning and experiencing Jiangxi Opera personally, which can not only inherit and carry forward Jiangxi Opera, Protect and inherit the excellent traditional culture of our Chinese nation. At the same time, it can also cultivate students' understanding of "cultural diversity" and enhance national pride. Through this article, I hope to find out a more suitable development path and method for the art of Jiangxi Opera on campus, which can make Jiangxi Opera more and more popular in universities, and truly inherit and carry forward this excellent traditional art of Jiangxi.
