The large-scale cultural tourism performance 'Helanshan Grand Ceremony' officially premiered in Helanshan·Manpu Town, Yinchuan, starting from July 1st.

  This is a large-scale three-dimensional epic drama reflecting the history, culture, nature, and dreams of Helanshan Mountain. It is the first presentation of this mountain, which has been a cradle of civilization for thousands of years, and also the most humanistic and historically rich interpretation.

  Helanshan is a unique mountain rich in resources. Its civilization can be traced back to the Stone Age, making it a significant mountain both in terms of natural geography and human history.

  In 2017, the book 'Helanshan: An Epic Standing Tall' was published, recounting the legendary past and present of Helanshan Mountain. This is a meticulously crafted work by Ningxia writer and screenwriter Tang Rongyao, who is hailed as China's first walking journalist. Over the course of 16 years, Tang delved into nearly a thousand documents, traversed over ten thousand miles, and undertook dozens of in-depth explorations.

  In 2021, the large-scale three-dimensional epic drama 'Helan Mountain Grand Ceremony,' based on the story foundation of Tang Rongyao's works, officially premiered to the audience. This stage performance is a re-creation and enrichment based on respect for history, geography, folk customs, and nature.

    Tang Rongyao sincerely feels delighted to transform 'Helanshan' from a literary work into a stage production. 'By combining large-scale light, shadow, and electrical art, creating a large indoor drama for a mountain, "The Helanshan Grand Ceremony" is currently the top one in the country.'

        The songs depict its form, poetry expresses its aspirations, and dance illustrates its grace. 'The Grand Ceremony of Helanshan' uses 'Helanshan' as the core thematic imagery for content creation, adopting a grand perspective to connect the rise and fall of history, cultural landscapes, natural resources, and the new era. The Jucheng team presents Helanshan through visual design, showcasing its diverse colors, qualities, and connotations.

  The magnificent and splendid scenes of the Helanshan Grand Ceremony, along with its visually stunning effects, have endowed seemingly ethereal images with tangible life, symbolizing the dream spirit of the diligent and brave Ningxia people in the new era as they strive to restore and reconstruct the Helanshan ecology.

  The chief director of 'Helanshan Grand Ceremony', Xiao Shenming, said that he hopes 'Helanshan Grand Ceremony' can serve as the first stop for tourists visiting Ningxia, prompting them to ask themselves why they have come. 'We do not prioritize traditional forms, nor do we deliberately create dazzling effects to attract attention. We focus on the essence of the play, using forms to serve the message we want to convey.'

  Each chapter contains authentic elements of Helanshan, showcasing the crises it faces and illustrating the opportunities it holds, guiding the audience through time and space from ancient to modern times, inspiring people to cherish their encounters with Helanshan.

  The chief director Xiao Shenming said, 'This is a very attitude-driven and sincere drama. We hope it serves as a guide, encouraging people to stay here, to explore the mountains, to meet the people, and to taste the local wine. "Hailing Mountain Grand Ceremony" will make every effort to tell the story of Ningxia to the best of its ability.'
