Henan TV to stage cultural show for Chongyang Festival
The dance program All-embracing Grottoes gathers elements from China's four major grottoes: the Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes, to present the beauty of grotto art through a women's group dance.
Another dance program Meeting Li Bai draws inspiration from Ascent to Yangtai Temple, considered ancient poet Li Bai's only authentic calligraphy piece to be handed down, and fully portrays the poet's willful attitude toward life.
The opera program Chinese Opera for My Grandparents and Borrowed Light sung by Hu Xia focused on warmness, and expressed people's tender feelings during the festival.
As a traditional festival of China, Chongyang Festival includes customs like climbing to high places, admiring chrysanthemum flowers, drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating Chongyang cake and caring for the elderly.
