To thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, enrich the public’s cultural life during the Spring Festival, promote time-honored traditional culture, and foster a joyful and harmonious festive atmosphere, the 2023 “Culture Celebrates the New Year, Tourism Welcomes the Spring” series of cultural and tourism events was officially launched on the morning of January 12 at Fuzhou City Cultural Square. The event was hosted by the Fuzhou Municipal People’s Government, organized by the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publication, and the people’s governments of all counties (districts), and co-organized by the Fuzhou City Cultural Center (Fuzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center) and the cultural, radio, television, press and publication bureaus of each county (district). Our museum brought two high-quality illustrated exhibitions—“Tang Xianzu, the Sage of Eastern Opera” and “Appreciation of Ancient Anti-Corruption Couplets: The Chapter on Loving the People”—to the venue, actively carrying out cultural outreach activities to benefit the public in the run-up to the New Year.

“Tang Xianzu, the Sage of Eastern Opera” is a signature exhibition at our museum. At the event, docents vividly recounted Tang Xianzu’s creative journey, his illustrious achievements, and his philosophy of “supreme sincerity,” guiding visitors into the exquisitely beautiful and romantic world of Chinese opera.
“Appreciation of Ancient Integrity Couplets: The Chapter on Loving the People” is an original temporary exhibition curated by our museum in 2023. Through ancient official‑office couplets, inscriptions from temples and shrines honoring revered sages, quotations from political and ideological figures, and celebrated verses and aphorisms by virtuous officials, the exhibition highlights the Chinese nation’s time‑honored principles of governance, its people‑centered ethos, its commitment to self‑discipline, and its spirit of proactive dedication—values that hold profound significance for upholding our fine traditions and advancing national rejuvenation.
