On the evening of May 12th, the "Nanfeng County Baishe Town Culture Month Folk Performance" cultural event took to the stage at the Guoan Night Market. In a format popular with the public, it made traditional culture "trendy" and folk customs "flavorful", bringing a cultural feast to citizens and tourists alike.
"The long, long Xujiang River, murmurs with the sound of the zither, stirring up infinite ripples in the heart. The majestic Junfeng Mountain, towers like a painted screen, attracting eyes to pursue it forever..." The solo performance "I Met Beautiful China in Nanfeng" kicked off the event. National intangible cultural heritage Nuo dance performances, municipal intangible cultural heritage Mazai opera, distinctive traditional flower lantern opera, excerpts from the local tea-picking opera "A Stroll in the Garden"... one folk program after another, carrying a strong Nuo charm and citrusy breeze, attracted many participants. The lifelike performances earned rounds of applause from the audience. Young people either stood on tiptoe or held up their mobile phones to take pictures, while children either learned to sing or danced with great interest, sharing the folk flavor.
"As a native of Nanfeng, I heard that there would be a folk custom performance at the night market today, so I came with my partner after dinner. Seeing such rich and colorful ethnic folk culture performances, it's like going back to when we were kids, taking a bench to the drying ground to wait for the show. I'm very excited," said Mr. Tang, who is nearly 80 years old. This sentiment really highlights how these events connect generations and bring back fond memories.
