When the movie was introduced into China from the West, the traditional opera art had no connection with it. Until the movie “Ding Jun Mountain” had published in 1905, the relationship between traditional opera and movie changed. In China, the two arts began to connect because of some common attributes, and effected their respective development trajectories. When movies just entered into China, the art of traditional opera nurtured the growth of movies, and now the mature art of movie brings new opportunities for the development of traditional opera. In the process of interaction between movie and traditional opera, movie and traditional opera had complement on each other, and constantly enrich and improve their artistic expression. These two arts are constantly merging, forming a subtle relationship, learning from each other, never leaving, and integrating with each other. It is of great significance for the development of traditional opera art in the new media, to analyze the relationship from beginning to the end.
