### English Translation Title: The Lanterns Light Up Hehuang – The Hua’er Festival Begins

News Summary: Recently, the 11th “Lanterns Light Up Hehuang, Flowers Bloom on Kunlun” cultural tourism and art exhibition, together with the 32nd Sun‑Moon Mountain Hua’er Festival, opened at the Fire Ancestors Hall in the ancient city of Dangaer. The opening ceremony featured three major song‑and‑dance sections that showcased Hehuang’s millennial cultural lineage. Nearly a thousand local residents and tourists attended in person, while the live online broadcast drew more than 100,000 viewers and received over 80,000 likes. The event’s online‑offline synergy generated strong buzz.

The program brought together intangible‑heritage performances and their inheritors from many regions, including a joint show of the Jasmine‑flower piece from Liuhe District in Nanjing and Hehuang’s Hua’er. Audiences enjoyed authentic folk songs, traditional customs, cultural‑creative displays, and heritage food experiences, all of which heightened public participation. Organizers said the festival not only raised the profile of the two heritage brands “Hehuang Lanterns” and “Hehuang Sun‑Moon Mountain Hua’er,” but also advanced the integration of culture and tourism, boosted the local economy and society, and encouraged cultural exchange among ethnic groups.

Reflection and Insight: This folk festival is not just noisy entertainment; it weaves together generations of life memories, crafts, and a spirit of mutual help. Bringing traditional culture onto the stage and into everyday life requires continual care and participation—much like looking after a neighbor, we must tend to our shared cultural roots.

Scripture: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39
