Tang Xianzu was a renowned dramatist and literary figure of China’s Ming Dynasty, often hailed as the “Shakespeare of the East.” His masterpiece, The Peony Pavilion, holds a pivotal place in both Chinese and world literary history. The cities of Fuzhou in Jiangxi Province, Dayu County in southern Jiangxi, Suichang County in Zhejiang Province, and Xuweng County in Guangdong Province were key locales where Tang Xianzu lived, governed, and created. Together, these four regions preserve a rich legacy of Tang Xianzu’s cultural heritage and have made significant, effective contributions to the preservation and promotion of his cultural legacy.
