Multiple unique events in Shanghai have been showcased, showcasing the beauty of the city! Cultural and Natural Heritage Day Music | Culture | Heritage

Strolling through the millennium old charm of Longhua, appreciating national intangible cultural heritage, exploring music streets, listening to the profound heritage of traditional opera, and experiencing the two intangible cultural heritage techniques of Cao Sugong's ink ingot and Zhou Huchen's brush making in the Bi Mo Palace... Today is "Cultural and Natural Heritage Day", and multiple cultural and tourism activities are being held on the streets of Shanghai. Citizens and tourists who "discover the most Shanghai cultural heritage and experience extraordinary intangible cultural heritage" also realize that there are so many places with rich connotations and fun hidden at their doorstep.

Shanghai style storytelling, "The Most Shanghai" micro tour interprets the urban context

Early this morning, more than 20 citizens and tourists who came to Xuhui Fenyang Road gathered at the entrance of the Music Opera House, embarking on a journey of "enjoying intangible cultural heritage and lighting up music legends through life". This route is professionally explained by Luo Jing, an associate researcher at the Institute of History of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. Based on the music street, it blends ancient and modern elements to interpret the chapters composed by Eastern and Western music in Xuhui. Shangyin Music Castle, Shanghai Shanghai Opera Art Training Institute, Shanghai Peking Opera Training Hall, and other places are quite outstanding.

Mr. Zhang, a citizen who came specifically with his 8-year-old daughter, said that he lives in Yangpu and doesn't know much about Xuhui in his daily life. After listening to the explanation with professionals this time, I found that Xuhui not only has a collection of historical buildings, but each building also has its own characteristics, such as the Black Stone Apartments related to music, and the Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts, which has multiple intangible cultural heritage display projects. Some new buildings are also very interesting. The Shanghai Symphony Concert Hall, nicknamed "Wonton Pi", and the grand Shanghai Music Opera House, in order to achieve better sound effects, use spring-loaded "full floating buildings" to minimize the impact of the surrounding subway lines and other noises, and gain knowledge after listening.

In the "Little White House" Shanghai Arts and Crafts Museum, tourists experience the Paper Cuttings technique of intangible cultural heritage under the guidance of teachers. A piece of red paper was folded in half, while watching the video and listening to the teacher's explanation and demonstration. With just a few cuts, the teacher cut out a cute rabbit. However, the tourists seemed a bit flustered, discussing where to cut the scissors and how to flip the paper. After more than ten minutes, everyone finished their homework, and each person cut out rabbits in different shapes and a variety of flowers.

"Enjoying Intangible Cultural Heritage and Bringing Life to Light up Music Legends" is one of the three most Shanghai cultural micro tour routes planned by Xuhui on this "Cultural and Natural Heritage Day". The other two are the "Enjoying Intangible Cultural Heritage and Gathering Life's Immersion in the Ancient Rhyme of Longhua" line led by the national top-level tour guide Zhu Maoyao, and the "Enjoying Intangible Cultural Heritage and Gathering Life's Haipai Source Searching Tour" line led by the gold medal guide Guo Wenyi of Xujia Huiyuan Scenic Area. These three high-quality micro tour routes connect classic buildings, cultural and museum venues, intangible cultural heritage activities, cultural spaces, etc. in Xuhui District, fully showcasing the beauty of the birthplace of Xuhui's Shanghai style culture. After the event was launched, the number of participants was quickly sold out.
