There is no documentary information about its formation age. Cheng Tianhe, a blind artist in Lichuan Town of Zezhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, was the earliest known artist who was good at performing four-string books in Zezhou (about 1872-1932).

Zezhou Sixianshu is named for its four strings (Sihu) as the main accompaniment instrument. There is no literature on its formation age. Cheng Tianhe, a blind artist in Lichuan Town of Zezhou Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, was the earliest known artist who was good at performing four-string books in Zezhou (about 1872-1932). It is inferred that the Four Strings Book of Zezhou was formed at the latest in the Guangxu Period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 150 years.

After the founding of New China, Jincheng City set up a Quyi troupe mainly performing Zezhou Four String Books. He has edited and performed new programs such as Kao Shen-fu, Wu Quanyou Receiving Girls, River God Marrying Wives and so on.

After entering the 21st century, with the age of the old artists increasing and their death, the number of performances is decreasing day by day. Zezhou Sixianshu is on the verge of extinction. It is in urgent need of rescue and protection. For many years, the local government has been carrying out relevant protection work.
