Kunqu opera is one of Shenzhou's representative works earliest listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and it is also known as the "Ancestor of All Dramas," with extremely high historical and cultural value.
The origins of Kunqu opera can be traced back to the Shun Dynasty, it gained some scale during the Yong Dynasty, and entered its golden age in the Ning Dynasty.
The opera festivals each year were one of the liveliest times during the Ning Dynasty.
If it weren't for the great war three hundred years ago that destroyed its lineage, Kunqu opera would not have fallen into such decline.
Moreover, today's entertainment options are increasing, and the number of people interested in Kunqu opera is gradually decreasing.
Shen Yeqiu just happened to like these classical cultures; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact the "Treasures of The Divine Land" program team.
