Under everyone's gaze, the two of them sat down at the table, placed the guqin on the table, and began to play.

The background music was replaced by accompaniment, which echoed the piano music of the two people and slowly entered everyone's ears...

Listening to the piano, everyone felt like their ears were being massaged, which was very comfortable.

“It sounded good in the promo video, and now that I hear it live, it sounds even better.”

"No wonder the emperors in ancient times liked to have their concubines play the piano for them. They really enjoyed it."

"It sounds great. This technique is amazing. It shows that a lot of hard work has gone into it."

Everybody was thinking silently in their hearts, without making any sound, for fear of interrupting this wonderful performance, for fear of missing a detail which would make it less likely they would hear it again next time.

Mu Xiaoqing and another performer are both good at playing the piano and they practice for a long time every day. As the saying goes, "One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage." Now it seems that their efforts have not been in vain and they play very well.

The two of them finished playing "Guangling San" with full confidence.

After he finished playing, he received thunderous applause and a wave of little fans, and walked off the stage happily.

Shen Xue Ning continued to host the show: "Our guqin performance is over. Let me ask everyone, how do you think it was played? Was it the feeling you imagined?"

“It was played very well, and it made us feel like kings.”

"Yes, it is very good. If I were wearing the emperor's clothes, I would feel like I was the emperor."

This answer made everyone laugh.

Shen Xue Ning said: "The guqin is a relatively quiet performance. Next, let's watch a lively one - the Fire Dragon Dance. The Fire Dragon Dance originated in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han when it was held in front of the Five Dragon Temple to celebrate the festival. But now we don't care so much about it. We should pass on the culture."

There are various performance routines of Fire Dragon Dance, including Five Dragon Flowers, Five Dragon Pillars, Large Coiling Dragon, Dragon Drilling Through the Body, Running in Dragon Circles, and Setting up Dragon Formation. There are also shapes such as Five Dragons Gathering, Suppressing the Five Directions, Worshiping the Dragon King, Setting up Fire Formation, Jumping over the Dragon Gate, and Giant Dragon Flying.

The Fire Dragon Dance usually requires three shifts of eight performers in each shift, including one spider and seven fire dragons, who can interchange with each other.

The performance is accompanied by percussion instruments such as drums, gongs, cymbals, etc., and the rhythm changes according to the movements of the dragon dance.

The performances are rich in content, including walking dragons, wheel circles, three-fold ridges, catching spiders, dragons entangled in pillars, breaking four-door fights, lying dragons, coiled dragons, dragons on the table, etc.

The Fire Dragon Dance not only has high research and aesthetic value, but also expresses people's beautiful wishes for a peaceful, prosperous and happy life, and enriches people's spiritual and cultural life.

The lead dancer of the Fire Dragon Dance is Zhang Yafei. Her team of eight people chose the Five Dragons Hui style and performed the Five Dragons Flower.

During the performance, the team held up a fire dragon and performed to the beat.

The production process of the fire dragon is complicated. The dragon head has a peculiar shape, very much like a Qilin, with a mechanism in its mouth that can spit fire. The dragon body is relatively short, usually with seven to nine sections, each section in the shape of a round bamboo tube with an oil belly placed inside. The dragon's tail is tied with bamboo strips and wrapped with velvet, and a copper bell is tied to the tip of the tail.

The fire dragon was custom-made by Shen Xue Ning and was shipped back just a week ago for tonight's performance.

Shen Wenxu and several of his children also stood aside and watched the performance.

Shen Bo stared at the constantly turning fire dragon and said, "Wen Xu, I finally understand why your elder sister wants to hold a performance at night."

Shen Wenxu looked at Shen Bo: "Why?"

Shen Bo watched the wonderful performance and said, "Because it looks better at night. Look at that fire dragon. If you see it from a distance, you will definitely think it is a real dragon, right?"

Shen Wenxu hugged his arms with both hands and observed carefully for a while: "You are right. Now I see that it does look more like a dragon."

Chen Xiuxiu patted Shen Wenxu on the shoulder: "Wenxu, today's performance was great."

Shen Wenxu said proudly: "The performance arranged by my eldest sister must be the best, otherwise how could it attract so many tourists?"

Chen Xiuxiu gave a thumbs up: "Yes, your elder sister is really capable."

Shen Wenxu straightened his back and became even more proud: "That's right, that's my eldest sister, no one can compare to her."

As soon as he finished speaking, several fireworks shot up into the sky.

There was thunderous applause, fireworks bloomed, dancers jumped and spun with the golden dragon held high, the whole street was shrouded in golden light, and the fire dragon tumbled and leaped among thousands of sparks, as if flying in an endless sea of ​​clouds, vivid and lifelike.

This time's fire dragon dance aroused everyone's enthusiasm.

Of course, a successful performance is not only about the dancers, but also about the accompaniment and others.

After the Fire Dragon Dance, not only the dancers were sweating, but the audience also felt warm, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

The fireworks continue...

Everyone looked up at the fireworks. This scene was really moving.

After the fireworks, the next performance began - Xi'an drum music.

Xi'an drum music is a group performance. Everyone dresses up as if they were from the Tang Dynasty, sits in their designated seats on the stage, and begins their performance under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Wow, this is so gorgeous."

"This group is awesome. Listening to their music, I feel like I'm in the Tang Dynasty."

"The nobles in ancient times ate only fine bran. Fortunately, it has been passed down so that we can also be influenced by it."

Everyone looked up at the performance on the stage with bright eyes.

Shen Xue Ning also looked at the Xi'an Drum Music Band. The way this group dressed up gave people a feeling of dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Qin Zizhou said: "This band looks the most expensive."

Shen Xue Ning laughed: "It does feel luxurious, thanks to Dai Yahan's help. She found clothes for everyone to change into."

Qin Zizhou said: "You have made good friends."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Dai Yahan is very good and helped me a lot. Her clothes are really beautiful and there are so many varieties."

Qin Zizhou said: "We can make more friends like this."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "One is enough."

Qin Zizhou changed the subject: "Do you need me to help you buy some clothes?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "No, Qiu Lian has a lot, Dai Ya Han also has a lot, it's enough for a short time, we can talk about it later when it's not enough."

Qin Zizhou said: "Okay, tell me if you need anything and I'll do it for you."

Shen Xuening smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Xi'an drum music brings the charm of the prosperous Tang Dynasty back to the world, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its melodious ancient charm and feel the profound connotation and extraordinary charm of Chinese traditional culture.

After the performance, many people were still immersed in the wonderful sound and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

Shen Yingying said to Shen Baozhu: "I want to learn Xi'an drum music."

Shen Baozhu blinked and looked at Shen Yingying: "Sure, I support you if you really like it."

Shen Yingying said: "It must be sincere, otherwise I wouldn't want to learn it."

Shen Zhenzhu said: "Tell your cousin about this. She won't disagree."
