The “Eastern Drama Sage Tang Xianzu” Exchange Exhibition Arrives in Huaibei, Anhui Province
To implement Xi Jinping’s Thought on Culture, promote the “Fuzhou: The Vessel of Dreams” brand, strengthen cultural exchanges and cooperation with other regions, and expand the influence of Tang Xianzu’s cultural legacy,
Our museum’s featured exchange exhibition, “Tang Xianzu, the Sage of Eastern Opera,” will be on display in Huaibei City, Anhui Province, from April 25 to May 28, 2024.
“The Eastern Master of Drama, Tang Xianzu”

The “Four Dreams of Linchuan,” a masterpiece painstakingly crafted by the great Ming‑dynasty dramatist Tang Xianzu, stands as a dazzling gem in the history of Chinese drama and indeed in the annals of world theater.
The romantic and fantastical flights of imagination that traverse life and death in his works are rivaled in the history of world drama only by Shakespeare, earning him the shared acclaim of being a peerless twin star on the theatrical stages of East and West.
The exhibition “Tang Xianzu, the Sage of Eastern Drama” comprehensively presents Tang Xianzu’s life and his monumental theatrical achievements.
It is a carefully curated thematic permanent exhibition organized by the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou City to mark the 400th anniversary of Tang Xianzu’s passing in 2016.
It was awarded the Excellence Prize in the 14th National Museum Top Ten Exhibitions and Displays Selection (2016). This traveling exhibition is a condensed version of that original display project.


Huaibei City Museum

Huaibei City Museum was founded in 1976 and, in 2009, added the name “Sui-Tang Grand Canal Museum,” becoming a national first-class museum.
The museum’s new building is situated in the heart of the picturesque New District, covering an area of over 40 mu and boasting a floor space of 10,670 square meters, with distinct regional characteristics.
Rich in character and uniquely styled, it embodies the ingenious fusion of Huaibei’s identity as a coal‑mining city with its canal‑culture heritage.
Xi Jinping’s cultural thought emphasizes that culture is the soul of a country and a nation; without a high degree of cultural confidence, without culture…
Prosperity and flourishing are indispensable to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Through this exhibition, we hope to look back on history together, revisit the classics, and gain a deeper understanding.
The artistic appeal and contemporary relevance of Tang Xianzu and his works strengthen confidence in Chinese culture and imbue China’s fine traditional culture with new vitality for the present era.
