The Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou is a comprehensive cultural venue built to commemorate Tang Xianzu, one of the world’s hundred great cultural figures and a master of Ming‑dynasty drama in China. It is also one of Jiangxi Province’s ten major memorial halls dedicated to historical luminaries.

Fantastic! From now on, Fuzhou will have its own Tangweng story, and Linchuan culture will take center stage on the world’s cultural scene!

At around 9:00 a.m. on the 28th, the rhythmic beats of opera gongs and drums resounded joyfully in the square before the east entrance of the Tang Xianzu Grand Theater, as operatic characters made their grand appearance.

Guoyi unveiled the plaque for the performing arts company. More than 100 people attended the unveiling ceremony, including heads of municipal government departments and enterprises, as well as all employees of the Municipal Culture and Tourism Investment Company, the performing arts company, and the Art Center.
 
Before the ceremony began, a festive atmosphere was created by the stage presence of the God of Wealth, adorned in traditional opera costume and accompanied by the rhythmic beats of gongs and drums. Following this, the B‑cast actors from the production of “The Four Dreams of Linchuan,” dressed in dazzling costumes, took to the stage in groups for a fashion show. The actor portraying Tang Xianzu performed a respectful bow, offering blessings, while the vivid performance brought the scene to life, filling the air with an enchanting mood.
 
The performance was lively, drawing continuous applause from the audience. As fireworks burst in unison outside, the red curtain was lifted, and Wu Jianchun, Executive Vice Mayor of the Municipal Government, officially announced the grand opening of Fuzhou City Tang Xianzu Cultural Performing Arts Co., Ltd.
It is reported that Fuzhou Tang Xianzu Cultural Performance Co., Ltd. was established through the investment of the Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Investment Company, following the full transfer of the former Fuzhou Tang Xianzu Cultural Performance Company—originally a public institution under the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism’s “Municipal Center for Cultural and Artistic Development”—and its subsequent restructuring via capital increase and share expansion. The company’s primary…
 
We aim to invest in the creation of cultural and artistic productions centered on Tang Xianzu and other representatives of the Linchuan tradition, operate and stage innovative cultural‑creative performances, and organize a wide range of artistic and cultural exchange activities. The company will play a pivotal role by establishing the Linchuan Four Dreams Heritage Class, forming the Tang Xianzu Art Troupe, and founding the Yumingtang Drama Society, thereby ensuring the effective promotion and preservation of Tang Xianzu’s legacy.
 
The inheritance of Xianzu culture is transforming Fuzhou into a city where plays are written, performed, watched, and critically reviewed. Around the New Year of 2017, the company will also launch a localized, regular touring production of the “Four Dreams of Linchuan,” presented in the local dialect.
 
The establishment of Fuzhou Tang Xianzu Cultural Performance Co., Ltd. will help Fuzhou implement its “Culture Going Global” strategy, tell the story of Master Tang to the world, and serve as an important platform for promoting Linchuan culture on the international stage.
