Henan TV show explores the essence of Qingming culture

Blending creativity with dynamic visuals, Seeking Blossoms by the Riverside offers a playful folk-style skit. Traditional-style blogger Chen Xiyue, appearing as a flower girl, and delivery boy Song Xiaoge step into history, offering flowers—and inspiration—to legendary artists. Through a lighthearted, playful narrative, the performance unveils the untold stories behind artistic masterpieces, celebrating the timeless lineage of Chinese art.

The Chinese-style dance Roaming Youth provides an immersive glimpse into poet Bai Juyi's reflective twilight years. Adapted in part from Looking for Him in the Crowd, an epic poetry and art drama, the performance balances lyrical grace with rhythmic strength. Against the backdrop of ancient tea rituals—roasting, storing, water selection, and brewing—young dancers bring Qingming's tea culture to life. The performance opens with a dramatic narration by Xu Tao, a national first-class actor and renowned reciter, unfurling like a vivid scroll painting of spring's renewal.
