Artists perform Shaoxing Opera in Lianzeng Village of Shaoxing City, east China's Zhejiang Province, Jan. 25, 2025. Shaoxing opera, also known as Yue opera, emerged in the early 1900s in east China's Zhejiang Province. Around the Spring Festival, opera troupes are busy performing at theaters, cultural halls, and temple fairs, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere. Renowned for its soft singing style, delicate performances, and rich repertoire, Shaoxing opera was included in the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. In recent years, government initiatives have supported the preservation and promotion of Shaoxing opera, injecting new vitality into this traditional art form. (Xinhua/Weng Xinyang)
