Dance drama Eastern Immortal Prophecy, inspired by an antique brocade armband, extols unity among ethnic groups. It received the Wenhua Grand Prize, a top national accolade for the performing arts at the recent 13th China Art Festival.[Photo provided to China Daily]

The creation of the dance drama started in February 2020. By June that year, the crew went on trips to Xinjiang's Urumqi and Hotan cities to gather inspiration from the ancient site and about the artifacts.

A wooden slip found at the site reads, "Feng greets Chunjun by presenting this jade ornament. Let's not forget about each other." From the artifact, scriptwriter of the production Xu Rui came up with the characters for Feng and Chunjun, respectively the commander and princess, and hence weaved this story about unity among ethnic groups.
