Details

Description

Singer Wang Sulong and Kunqu Opera actor Zhang Jun performed the Chinese song "The Peach Blossom Fan" 《桃花扇》 on variety show "Everlasting Classics." The Peach Blossom Fan is a famous musical play in #Kunqu #Opera. After 10 years of writing, the drama was completed by playwright Kong Shangren in 1699 during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The collapse of the Ming Dynasty and rise of the Qing Dynasty are reflected in the love story between the play's two main characters, young scholar Hou Fangyu and courtesan Li Xiangjun.

The third season of "Everlasting Classics" premiered on China Central Television on January 26. The show has gained popularity since its first season in 2018 by interpreting traditional Chinese literature and poetry in a modern way.
