Changes in literature and art in the last five years

China Daily  

The story of writer Lu Xun features in the popular TV drama Juexing Niandai. This scenario is the plot of the dance Tang Yong created by Chen Lin, a choreographer with the Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theater in Central China's Henan province. Inspired by relics unearthed in Henan which date back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the work was nominated for the Lotus Award in 2020, China's top award for professional dancers. During this year's Spring Festival, an adaptation of the dance, A Tang Dynasty Banquet, was shown as part of a gala on Henan TV, going viral once it was released online. The dancers perform against a projection of national treasures: Fuhao Xiao Zun, tri-colored glazed ceramics of the Tang Dynasty, Zanhua Shinyu Tu and Qianli Jiangshan Tu, among others.
