The musical Bronze and Huayao lit up Kunming on June 7! Blending ancient bronze relics with Yunnan’s ethnic instruments and bamboo music, the show brought to life a tale of a “goldsmith” from ancient Dian culture crossing time to meet a Dian princess and a Huayao Dai girl. A stunning fusion of heritage, music, and dance!
The Dian culture nourished during the Dian kingdom, which existed from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) in today’s Yunnan province.
