Public‑welfare opera performances bring folk culture to villages in Sijiazhuang village, Bancheng town

Under the provincial‑level cultural‑benefit‑people project “one opera show for each village every year”, Lanshan District organizes public‑welfare grassroots theatrical performances to Sijiazhuang Village of Bancheng Town, bringing vivid folk opera and theatrical shows to local villagers at their doorsteps.

The public‑welfare performance project is designed to deliver high‑quality cultural resources to rural communities. Local professional folk‑art troupes give performances right at village squares. The repertoire covers traditional local opera excerpts, modern sketches, folk dances and thematic small plays, integrating local customs, moral‑education stories and rural‑vitalization themes into artistic creation.

When the show starts, villagers of all ages gather around the open‑air stage. Elderly residents appreciate time‑honored opera arias, while young people and children enjoy lively modern theatrical works. Interactive sessions are arranged during intervals, spreading knowledge of local history, civilized customs and safety tips among the audience.

The project shifts cultural supply from city‑centered outreach toward village‑oriented precise delivery. It cultivates local grassroots literary and artistic talents, encouraging villagers to become creators, performers and audience members. More such events will be arranged across villages of Lanshan District to enrich spiritual‑cultural life for rural residents.
