Jiashan Xitang folk-custom

"A hundred miles of different winds, a thousand miles of different customs." Every place has its own unique customs. Xitang, a thousand-year-old ancient town, has an original flavor of Jiangnan water town and a strong flavor of life, which truly preserves the life context of Xitang people.

Tian Ge

"Tian Ge", also known as "Song Wudi" and "Singing at midnight", is a rural folk song, which is still sung in the neighboring areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and it is a historical portrayal of rural life in the water towns of Taihu Lake Basin. Tian Ge is a precious cultural heritage of local music in China, and its melody features are: first, freedom, because Xitang is located in the plain of water town, with a criss-crossing river network, boats sailing on the water, singing songs about wine and expressing their feelings; Second, it is clear, beautiful and straightforward, and the lyrics mostly reflect folk stories and farming activities, such as yangko, duck songs and rice delivery. In particular, the original musical "Five Girls" adapted from Xitang Tian Ge won the "Wenhua Award" in the 7th China Arts Festival.

Shaoxing opera

Yue Opera is one of the local opera arts in China, and there are many opera fans in Xitang. They got together to form Xitang Yue Opera Association, most of whom are middle-aged and elderly people.
