Classics of Luxu folk songs are frequently published. The long narrative folk song "Five Girls" sings touching stories with a popular melody. It has also been adapted into TV series, radio series and comic strips. Mr. Zhao Jingshen, a litterateur, once wrote a poem for this: "Wu Nongzhu language is spread to the fishing countryside, and the old man in the village has a long charm. Mo Daohan has no great works in his family, but he plays a song with five girls."

Who cares about it?" When performing Kunqu Opera puppets in Qidu, you can hear the beautiful music and appreciate the excitement of the puppets on the same stage. "Holding with both hands, you can live up to all kinds of ugliness and ugliness, and sing all kinds of emotions in one breath." The actors held more than ten strings to control the puppets in their hands, and told the story with the puppet's movements.

Suzhou Pingtan, singing endlessly and endlessly

Pingtan performances usually take place in the afternoon. After visiting the classic attractions of the ancient town, you can come here to order a pot of tea and spend a comfortable time amidst the sound of Pingtan.

Xiaoman opera, May Yue folk custom

It is said that Xiaoman Day is the birthday of Leizu, the silkworm god, so there is a custom in Shengze, the Silk Capital, to sacrifice to the silkworm god at this time. In the old days, gongs were played and various operas were sung in the Xian Silkworm Temple. Sericulture farmers and silk merchants gathered here, making it very lively. "The opera in the silkworm temple first appeared, and the men cultivated and the women stopped the mulberry, just to meet the small crowd today and thousands of people were fighting for new makeup." In his "Shenghu Bamboo Branch Ci" written in the early years of the Republic of China, Mr. Shen Yun gave a very true description of the lively scenes of Xiaoman Opera. Today, the folk customs of Xiaoman Opera are even better than before. The sound of gongs and drums and good performances on the scene have become a unique scenery in May.
