Tongren is home to Nuo experiences
China DailyAn Yongbai and his troupe perform Nuotang Opera in Dejiang, Guizhou province. Tongren, Guizhou province, is home to a diverse number of ethnic groups and one enigmatic cultural element that is shared by many of them — Nuo — imbues the natural sublimity of Fanjing Mountain with a sense of mystery. After thousands of years, some of these activities developed into the Nuo opera art form, known as a 'living fossil' of traditional Chinese opera," expert Tang Zhizhou says. Since 2009, he has been working to preserve Nuo culture, and, in recent years, he has completed a major project to film local Nuo opera performances to be included in the museum's collection. "Nuo culture is a grand concept, and in Tongren, it actually only refers to Nuotang Opera that exists in the northeastern area of Guizhou, with Fanjing Mountain at the center," Tang says.
