Zijin Huazhao Opera, originated from the religious rituals in Zijin County, Guangdong Province, has a deep cultural heritage and unique artistic characteristics. With the change of the times, how to integrate it with modern education concepts has become an urgent problem to be solved. Through the combination of aesthetic education, moral education, ideological education, mental health, heritage and science and technology, Zijin Huazhao Opera not only inherits the traditional culture, but also promotes the all-round quality development of students. This paper explores the application of Zijin Huazhao Opera in whole-person education and proposes specific practical strategies, aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the education of traditional theatre arts.
