On the morning of April 15, the unveiling ceremony for the “Jiangxi Base for Sino‑Foreign Youth Theatre and Folk Culture Research” of East China University of Technology was held at our museum. Xu Guohua, Director of the Jiangxi Theatre Resources Research Center at East China University of Technology, presented the plaque to Rao Fang, Director of the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou. The event was attended by relevant officials from the International Exchange and Cooperation Office, the School of International Education, and the National Language Promotion Base of East China University of Technology, as well as Chinese‑language volunteer teachers and international students from various countries. This occasion marks a milestone in the deepening collaboration between our museum and East China University of Technology, advancing the inheritance and development of Chinese culture while innovating approaches to cultural exchange and education.
The garden landscapes conjured by Tang Xianzu are like a vast, open realm for cultural inheritance. Through this base, we hope to empower Chinese and international young people to become the “vital force” of cultural preservation, enabling them to appreciate the allure of Chinese culture through theatrical performances and ethnographic research. At the same time, we will leverage the think-tank role of universities to provide scholarly support for the study and transmission of Tang Xianzu’s operas. Moreover, by capitalizing on the educational strengths of cultural and museum institutions, we aim to cultivate a culturally inclusive ecosystem that engages the entire community, ensuring that our cultural heritage is revitalized in the new era.
Following the plaque‑presentation ceremony, the guests toured the main exhibition area of Yumingtang, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Tang Xianzu’s theatrical life and his enduring legacy, and were deeply impressed by his literary achievements. The international students, full of curiosity and excitement, donned traditional opera costumes, learned stage movements from professional instructors, and took spontaneous selfies throughout the exhibit. They also showed keen interest in the seal script of Chinese calligraphy, carefully tracing the characters for “The Peony Pavilion” with their brushes.
Our institution has always regarded the inheritance and promotion of China’s fine traditional culture—particularly the legacy of Tang Xianzu and his theatrical heritage—as its mission. Moving forward, drawing on the “Hundred Museums, Thousand Schools” series of events and the wealth of experience accumulated through overseas cultural exchanges, we will further deepen our collaboration with East China University of Technology, tell China’s stories effectively, and work together to build a bridge for cultural exchange and mutual learning among young people in China and abroad. United in spirit, we will answer the call of our times in the name of culture.
