摘要：On January 10th, reporters learned from the Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles that the 'Village Galas' will be held
On January 10th, reporters learned from the Guangdong Federation of Literary and Art Circles that the 'Village Galas' will be held across Guangdong province. The organizers will select more than ten exemplary "Village Gala" sites. The series will promote pairing and support activities with provincial literary and art associations and various volunteer cultural services, creating a vibrant atmosphere for the Chinese New Year celebrations in Lingnan region.
When it comes to celebrating the Chinese New Year, what best represents the festive spirit of Guangdong?
In the regions around Guangzhou, dragon dances and lion dances bring lively festivities, with people weaving through a sea of flowers, picking and buying auspicious Chinese New Year flowers and kumquat trees as symbols of wealth, good fortune, and prosperity.
In Chaoshan region, the ancient houses stand in clusters, tea fragrances linger in the air, and the sounds of Chao opera fill the surroundings. Yingge dancers in colorful costumes wield double mallets, leaping and spinning, embodying the festive spirit of the season through their performances.
In western Guangdong, Leizhou in Zhanjiang celebrates the "Nianli" activities during the Chinese New Year. Every household is decorated with lanterns, creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration. Villagers, dressed in stunning traditional attire, perform the traditional Nuo dance, praying for a prosperous year with good weather and abundant harvests.
In northern Guangdong, people of various ethnic groups, such as Zhuang, Yao, and Han, unite together as one family. Men and women of all ages, wearing their ethnic costumes, set up a long banquet table, enthusiastically welcoming guests from all regions. They offer fragrant rice wine and hum melodious tunes, warmly greeting visitors with heartfelt hospitality.
It is reported that the series of events is an important public welfare project launched at a significant moment when UNESCOinscribed the "Spring Festival" to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The initiative aims to bring high-quality cultural resources directly to the grassroots.
Sincerely, Guangdong invites friends from across the country to join the Year of the Snake "Village Gala": come to Guangdong's countryside and celebrate the Chinese New Year, experiencing the most authentic Chinese New Year.
