In the dance show Ethnic Terracotta Figurines' Carnival Night, the figurines awaken under the full moon, joining teenagers on subway rides, exploring the ancient city of Luoyi with tourists and embarking on a wondrous journey with the Tang Dynasty (618-907) beauty figurines. The show vividly presents the intangible cultural heritage of Tang tri-colored glazed pottery and the Grand Canal culture.
The gala also weaves a tapestry of emotional resonance, blending a sense of tender sweetness with subtle melancholy. Set in a minimalist yet exquisitely beautiful post-modern Song-style architectural environment, actress Tong Liya presents a dance that captures the refined gatherings of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Through the rituals of burning incense, brewing tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers, she showcases the unique aesthetic and cultural pursuits of the era.
Endless Parting Grief performed by Liu Tao and Zhang Hexuan tells a tale of love spanning three lifetimes. It not only showcases the splendor of traditional Chinese attire but also incorporates the intangible cultural heritage of velvet flower, offering a fresh interpretation of the Chinese philosophy of love through an artistic lens.
