Answer:

Ancient Chinese dramas are called "opera" because "drama" and "qu" are the main factors. Chinese opera mainly includes Song Yuan Southern Opera, Yuan and Ming Zaju, Legends and Ming and Qing Legends, as well as modern Beijing Opera and traditional repertoires of other local operas. It is a general term for Chinese national drama culture.
