On Sept. 24, the award ceremony for the 14th China Quyi Peony Awards was held at the Hefei Grand Theater. The Sichuan Qingyin piece "Happy Events in the Paddy Fields", produced in Sichuan Province, won the Program Award of the Peony Awards, which is the highest national honor in the quyi art form.
"Happy Events in the Paddy Fields" was performed by Luo Jie, Zhang Xiali, and Chai Yufeng from Guang'an. Centered on the theme of rural revitalization and featuring the unique vocal style of Sichuan Qingyin, the program tells new stories of happiness in rural Bashu, organically integrating traditional intangible cultural heritage quyi with contemporary narratives to vividly showcase the remarkable changes in the countryside in the new era. This award represents a significant achievement in Sichuan quyi's commitment to upholding fundamental principles while pursuing innovation. Quyi artists in the province will continue to draw inspiration from the rich cultural soil of Bashu, creating more high-quality works that resonate with the people and highlight the distinctive charm of the region.
