Developing rural economy and tourism depends on culture. Cultural activities are being held one after another along the Xihe River rural revitalization demonstration belt in Chenzhou, with its rural tourism booming.
Every weekend, Chenzhou Song and Dance Troupe and Hunan Kunju Opera Troupe in turn carry out the activities of "sending opera into the countryside". This activity not only enriches the cultural life of people, but also meets the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the common people. The city's cultural and tourism department are seeking to "plant" culture while delivering culture. They focus on literary and artistic interaction with the audience and are willing to let the masses perform and show themselves together with professional actors on the rural stage.
On the evening of June 26, the lamplight court in Lanwangmiao Village, Xujiadong Town, Suxian District was full of laughter and songs. Hunan Kunju Opera Troupe brought a performance at Lanwangmiao Village, which is a key village along the Xihe River rural revitalization demonstration belt. Local villagers and tourists gathered at the lamplight court to watch the performance of Kunju Opera. In order to "plant" culture, the head of Suxian District Culture, Tourism, Broadcasting and Sports Bureau communicated with the program host, and required professional actors to interact with audiences, encouraging villagers to show their artistic talent.
At the end of the performance, the host invited four audiences of different ages to the stage to interact with national first-class actors. Professional actors taught Kunju Opera lovers to practice several movements. The interaction drew the actors closer to the audience, bringing the atmosphere to a climax with laughter, applause and cheers.
The district’s culture, tourism, broadcasting and sports bureau will hold public lectures on culture and literature, contributing to rural revitalization and rural tourism through public cultural service, and boosting the cultural confidence of the masses.
