1. The national intangible cultural heritage project Baofeng Majie Book Club was officially launched.
In the wheat field after the heavy snowfall, artists from all over the country came with drums and pianos to step on the snow, taking the sky as the curtain and the earth as the stage, telling stories and meeting friends, playing and singing, and performing with passion.
At more than 8 o'clock in the morning, although the weather was cold, the folk artists in the wheat field on the east side of the Majie Book Club Rap Figurine Sculpture Square were already playing drums and pianos. The sound of simple boards, strings, erhu, and cheers inside and outside the bookstore lingered in my ears. The rapper may be on a high platform, or standing against a table, or happy or sad, or agitated or frustrated. The listener stands or squats, concentrates, laughs happily, and looks sad when emotional.
Li Chunying, a 67-year-old artist from Shiqiao Town, Baofeng County, came to the book fair at 6 o'clock in the morning, and he was joined by 8 apprentices and students, the youngest of whom was Wuzi who was only 6 years old. Although he is young, Wu Ziyou's performance is quite impressive. As the representative inheritor of the provincial intangible cultural heritage project Pingtuo Sanxian Book, Li Chunying has been in the Horse Street Book Club since he was 13 years old. Now, he has started a new inheritance with his apprentices and students.
This year, 56-year-old Cao County, Heze City, Shandong Province, Cao County artist Yuan Xiuling took students to the Ganma Street Book Fair on the eleventh day of the first month, and she began to perform Henan pendants when she was a teenager.

Li Wenbo from Zhengzhou City is a post-95 generation, and that day was his first visit to the Majie Book Fair. The scene was very novel to Li Wenbo, and he kept taking pictures and videos, and interacting with his friends online. "The service in Baofeng is very good, the bus and the shuttle bus are seamless. The scene was very shocking, and I will come with my friends at the Majie Book Fair next year. Li Wenbo said excitedly.
