Little Docent
The classical Chinese opera posture class is taught under the guidance of Rao Zhiyan, a member of the Jiangxi Provincial Opera Artists Association and a professional opera instructor at Fuzhou Vocational and Technical College. The young students are divided into separate male and female groups, each learning distinct excerpts from traditional operas. Through every subtle expression, every graceful gesture, they carefully savor the unique charm of this art form. 
The guided tours are led by our museum’s certified, star-rated docents. Education and outreach staff organize language‑practice sessions, help participants memorize their scripts, and carefully advise on proper appearance and demeanor, thereby thoroughly honing their public speaking and communication skills.


On July 15, our museum specially organized a hands-on “Jade Fragrance of Opera” badge‑making workshop for participants, in which they designed and crafted badges inspired by characters from Tang Xianzu’s operas. The instructor guided the students through video clips of Tang Xianzu’s works, facilitated group discussions to select the featured figures, and then explained the badge‑making process and the tools involved. Finally, participants worked in teams to develop thematic designs and shared their creative concepts behind the finished pieces. With their ingenuity and skill, each student produced a one-of-a-kind badge, vividly showcasing their creativity and imagination while honing their practical craftsmanship and public‑speaking abilities.
The summer cultural classes have not yet concluded, yet the young students have already demonstrated remarkable progress. We look forward to their continued outstanding achievements!
