Henan TV Spring Festival gala celebrates Year of the Snake with cultural spectacle

This marks the first Spring Festival since the event was added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The gala expertly weaves intangible heritage into an unforgettable cultural experience.

Popular influencer Li Ziqi will appear, juxtaposing her serene aesthetic with the lively atmosphere of a temple fair to craft a narrative connecting past, present, and future cultural traditions.

Actress Wan Qian will portray the 12 Chinese zodiac deities through rapid costume changes, intricate makeup, and floral symbolism, incorporating traditional art forms such as porcelain flowers and silk-wrapped blossoms to explore the poetic significance of flowers in Chinese history.
