- Depiction： The old rural opera and the earthy folk culture are the most down-to-earth materials for the artistic creation. Only by deeply understanding the historical origins of local opera and meticulously exploring the spiritual outlook of our earthy folks, then it’s possible to express that intensive rural sentiments more profoundly and intrinsically. The stage is a vessel. Everyone has a role on and off the stage. What’s sung on stage is opera, and what’s performed off stage is life. Every action unposed, every face expressing naturally, is an earthy poem, a plain song. Perhaps the most powerful spiritual force in the world is the natural authenticity. When those ordinary elements are displayed on a canvas through composition, color, brushwork, and emotions, they then possess an uplifting artistic vitality.
