The origin of Guanzhong Busty Art Festival

The Guanzhong Busty Art Festival is a custom in Shaanxi. After the summer harvest, farmers visit relatives and friends and invite opera troupes to sing, hence the name of the art festival.

The Guanzhong Bust Art Festival is an art event focusing on the revitalization and construction of rural culture. It has established the Folklore Film Exhibition, Zhongnan Drama Festival, Earth Ecological Art Exhibition, Zhongnan Township Collection, Zhongnan Township Banquet, folk clay sculpture studio program and other activities. It originated from a custom in Shaanxi - "Business Stop Meeting", that is, after the summer harvest, farmers visit relatives and friends and invite opera troupes to sing.

This once humble village has now become a vibrant new art space. In the art festival, the cool breeze and the chirping of insects showed the natural nature of the countryside, while the rich and colorful art forms such as dramas and art exhibitions added a strong cultural atmosphere to the countryside. During the art festival, farm tools such as plows, rakes, and forks were brought into the village history museum. Murals with themes on ecology, science popularization, and farmer portraits can be seen everywhere. Various art installations were erected in the fields, allowing the seeds of art to spread in the countryside. Roots have taken root in the earth.
