As 2024 is about to begin, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou City has meticulously prepared New Year’s Day events and a New Year exhibition, inviting you to join us!
New Exhibition
China’s outstanding traditional culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation. “We must promote the creative transformation and innovative development of this outstanding traditional culture, infusing it with the spirit of our times to revitalize its vitality.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage, delivering numerous important speeches and issuing critical instructions on this front.
Fuzhou City boasts a rich array of intangible cultural heritage resources, with 7 national-level, 49 provincial-level, and 133 municipal-level ICH items. The city’s most representative ICH traditions are the “Three Operas and Four Dances,” namely Yihuang Opera, Guangchang Meng Opera, Fuzhou Tea-Picking Opera, as well as Nanfeng Nuo Dance, Le’an Nuo Dance, Lichuan White Lion Dance, and Yihuang He’gang Dance. In recent years, while ensuring the orderly transmission of these ICH elements, Fuzhou has also worked to bring ICH closer to the public and make it accessible to all.
Exhibition Dates: December 30, 2023 – January 28, 2024
Exhibition Location: Yumingtang Front Plaza
Good fortune has come to my home.
Make a “Fu” character hanging ornament. During traditional festivals, pasting the “Fu” character is an expression of people’s yearning for a happy life and their hopes for a bright future. The “Fu” character symbolizes wealth, abundance, and a life free from worries, and adorning one’s home with it is believed to ward off misfortune and bring good luck.

The car-boot sale, also known as a "Car Boot Sale," originated in the United Kingdom. People display and trade unused items or goods from the trunks of their cars. Clothing, shoes, hats, toys, books—any household items you no longer need—can be bought, sold, or exchanged, much like a traditional flea market. At this event, bringing three picture books will allow you to rent a stall; all rental items (the picture books) will be donated to left-behind children facing hardship. Stallholders will also have the opportunity to participate in the Tongxin Yuan hand-in-hand parent-child reading activity for left-behind children.
In addition, the event features a variety of exciting mini-games, including the Creative “Class” Carriage Show, the family-friendly “Flying Dragon in the Sky” game, Rolling Wheels, Crazy Racers, Speedy Delivery, Six Great Fortunes, and the “Good Fortune Brings Wealth” crystal ball blind box. Simply check in and complete the challenges to redeem a beautifully designed Year of the Dragon wall calendar.
Come to our car‑backyard “Love Market”—fresh, artsy, and full of everything from books and toys to gourmet treats, creative crafts, and cultural‑creative floral arrangements. There’s even hands‑on workshops and live music performances. Rent a stall with just three picture books! While helping underprivileged children discover timeless classics, soak up the unique, festive spirit of the New Year. Tidy up your storage room, closet, or bookshelf—pack all the items you no longer need or want to share into your car’s trunk. Who knows? Your treasures might be cherished by someone else, extending their life and purpose. Let’s dig through those boxes—let’s get started!
