Legend of Spring Festival
Stage production celebrates Langzhong's relaxed charm and historical importance, Chen Nan reports.
From the sweeping curves of Langzhong's rooftops to its traditional Spring Festival celebration, with its preservation of customs and rituals, such as the traditional dragon and lion dance, the sound of firecrackers filling the air, and the breathtaking displays of paper lanterns illuminating the streets, Fu combines all these elements into the production.
"The new stage production pays homage to these age-old traditions. The audience is invited to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the Spring Festival, a dazzling spectacle designed to evoke the energy and excitement of the holiday," he says.
Besides the Spring Festival, Fu has also featured references to the Three Kingdoms (220-280) period when Langzhong played an important role due to its strategic location and connection to prominent figures of the era. Dating back some 2,300 years, the city is also associated with Zhang Fei, a prominent general of the Three Kingdoms period, who defended it for seven years. Today, temples in the city acknowledge the general's contribution.
