Today we were in Gongwang Mansion. We had an attempt to perform in the real scene. We just performed the whole environment in the theater where the crowds gathered. We made a change, that is, the first is not the audience, but " "Cloud Live", second, we are in the open nature, in the garden of the Wangfu, which not only meets the needs of anti-epidemic, but also combines our intangible cultural heritage with natural heritage and material heritage.

We actually made many attempts, like saying that our school's classes have also become online, and many of our performances have also become online. I think it is a development trend online, so its acceptance will be wider, and I think the energy should be greater than we do some small-scale activities and elegant collections offline. Society is developing, so we should also have a new awareness of the protection of non-legacy.
[Explanation] As a non-legacy project selected as a UNESCO "List of Representatives of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity", Kunqu and Guqin art are typical representatives of traditional Chinese art.
