It is also one of Jiangxi Province’s ten major memorial halls dedicated to historical luminaries.

“The Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government’s hosting of the Tang Xianzu Academic Symposium will enable more people to learn about Fuzhou, helping the city gain national and international recognition. At the same time, it plays a crucial role in enhancing the sense of pride and identity among Fuzhou residents, attracting investment and talent, developing tourism, accelerating economic growth, and elevating the city’s standing,” said Professor Huang Jianrong of East China University of Technology on November 11, following his participation in the 2022 China (Fuzhou) Tang Xianzu Academic Symposium.
Huang Jianrong suggested that the Tang Xianzu Academic Symposium should be held every one to two years, and that modern high‑tech tools should be leveraged to disseminate outstanding research findings in more diverse formats. He noted that the collected works and essay volumes on Master Tang published by the Fuzhou Tang Xianzu International Research Center have begun to gain traction, yet their influence remains limited in regions such as Hong Kong and Macao; therefore, broader promotion and further scholarly inquiry are urgently needed.
“Fuzhou should leverage the culture of Tang Xianzu to boost economic development,” said Huang Jianrong. He added that Tang Xianzu’s renown could be harnessed to promote and produce cultural‑creative products. In Fuzhou, only Tang Xianzu Avenue, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall, and the Tang Xianzu Grand Theater bear his name; therefore, the city should make better use of digital‑technology platforms to develop a Tang Xianzu‑branded cultural‑creative lineup and foster commercial exchanges.
