The world‑renowned masterpiece The Peony Pavilion is the work that brought Tang Xianzu the greatest acclaim throughout his life. Over the past four centuries, it has been widely disseminated in both the literary realm as a “text for the desk” and on the stage as a “song for the stage,” making it an important cultural heritage of human history. This long narrative poem, “The Peony Pavilion,” donated by Mr. Yao Wenchu, represents an innovative literary reimagining of this classic work, further enriching the artistic forms of Tang Xianzu’s masterpieces and expanding the collection of the Tang Xianzu Museum Library.

We look forward to seeing more erudite and insightful figures like Mr. Yao Wenchu undertake in-depth explorations of the ideas, humanistic spirit, and moral principles embedded in Tang Xianzu’s cultural legacy, thereby enabling them to shine with an even more dazzling contemporary brilliance.
