NANNING, China, Dec. 21, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

In October, a play from Guangxi attracted the attention of local audiences and

tourists from around the world in Malacca, Malaysia.The creative acrobatic

drama "Baiyue Daosheng", produced by Guangxi Cultural Industry Group, has been

performed here for 24 days since October 6, and has been well received by the

audience and continued to ferment. The lush paddy fields in the green

mountains, the games carnival in the village festival, and the hard work,

comfortable living and indulgent singing and dancing of farmers and women...

The familiar rice culture background quickly narrowed the distance between the

hearts of the audience. People immersed in the cross-border cultural resonance

and emotional resonance, and completed a spiritual journey of cultural exchange

and mutual learning of civilizations on and off the stage. The success of

"Baiyue Daosheng" in Malaysia is an epitome of Guangxi's deepening cultural

exchange and cooperation with the outside world. Guangxi actively participates

in the joint construction of "The Belt and Road", strengthens multi-level

civilization dialogue and multi-form cultural exchanges, and continues to

expand the overseas influence of Guangxi culture. The "Guangxi Style" cultural

name card is more beautiful.

Since 2012, Guangxi art troupes have gone to the United States, Italy,

Switzerland, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Bhutan, Sri

Lanka and other 4 continents 27 countries for nearly 60 performances. The dance

poem "Dong", the dance drama "The Flower World", "The Kiln Changes Thousands of

Colors", "Liu Sanjie", the acrobatics drama "The Clothes of One Hundred Birds",

the puppet show "You Yi Xin Yun" and other excellent Guangxi plays have a great

shine overseas.

exported more than 4,200 book copyrights overseas.

countries at the local level, Guangxi deepens the China-ASEAN comprehensive

strategic partnership, and helps build a closer China-ASEAN community with a

shared future, vividly interpreting the profound connotation of "harmonious

coexistence and common future".
