On June 13, 2020, China marked its 15th “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day.” On the morning of June 11, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall hosted a cultural‑intangible‑heritage publicity and exhibition event at Fuzhou Preschool Teachers’ College, under the theme “Cultural Relics Add Color to a Moderately Prosperous Society,” fostering on campus a positive atmosphere for appreciating Chinese culture and strengthening awareness of cultural heritage protection.
For this event, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall meticulously prepared 18 display stands and 36 exhibition panels. The exhibition is divided into two major sections—“Tang Xianzu, the Sage of Eastern Opera” and “A Single Melody of The Peony Pavilion, Drawing in a Kaleidoscope of Fragrances”—which chronicle Tang Xianzu’s tumultuous life, his enduring theatrical masterpieces, and the remarkable achievements of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government in cultivating the Tang Xianzu cultural brand and promoting international cultural exchanges. In line with the theme of intangible cultural heritage preservation, the exhibition also highlights the extraordinary accomplishments and charm of The Peony Pavilion as it leverages opera—a designated intangible cultural heritage—to enrich the art of stage performance. Notably, the Xuhé Gaoqiang–Xiangyin version of The Peony Pavilion employs an ancient vocal style from Fuzhou that dates back 500 years, thereby imbuing this national-level intangible cultural heritage with contemporary artistic value. This has sparked keen student interest in local intangible heritage projects and a profound appreciation for traditional Chinese culture.
Through this event, the achievements of Fuzhou’s intangible cultural heritage protection efforts were further publicized and showcased, raising contemporary young people’s awareness of the inheritance and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and fostering a positive social climate for its preservation. In bolstering cultural confidence and passing down Chinese civilization, the museum has played a distinctive role in education and outreach.
