CHINA-HENAN-BAOFENG-MAJIE QUYI FAIR (CN)

(240222) -- BAOFENG, Feb. 22, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A folk artist performs during the Quyi fair in Majie Village of Baofeng County, central China's Henan Province, Feb. 22, 2024. Quyi, meaning Chinese folk arts, refers to various narrative and singing forms including ballad singing, comic dialogues, clapper talk and crosstalk, which remain popular among the Chinese people. The Quyi fair in Majie Village has a history of over 700 years. The event is said to originate from a prestigious folk artist in the village, whose many disciples gathered to celebrate his birthday in 1316. The birthday celebration later evolved into a folk art fair, when folk artists from across the country gathered in the village to take part in the event. In 2006, the Majie Quyi Fair was inscribed on the first national intangible cultural heritage list. (Xinhua/Hao Yuan)
