The aftertaste of the Lunar New Year is still alive, and the snowy plateau will usher in the Tibetan New Year, the most solemn annual festival for the Tibetan people at the end of February. The cultural front at all levels in Shannan City, Tibet, has innovated its forms of activities, integrated its advantageous resources, created a variety of cultural and artistic activities, and provided the people of the whole city with last year's delicious "spiritual food". On February 10, at the Lakali Palace Square in Qusong County, Tibet, the village-level art performance team art competition officially opened. As the opening dance, the autonomous district-level intangible cultural heritage Qiu Duo Jiang Zhuo dance attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it appeared. Then the village-level literary and artistic performance teams from 21 administrative villages in the county took turns with self-compiled, self-directed and self-performed literary and artistic programs. "Auspicious Blessings", "New Face", "Joy of Harvest", "Looking Forward to the Future", "Celebrating the New Life"... the singing and dancing festival with rich flavor and connotation showed that Qusong County was bathed in the glory of the Party, the people's life changed a new look, and the rural environment changed a new look, And the yearning and expectation of the people for a better life in the future. Off the stage, there were many activities to send the Spring Festival couplets. Everyone stood in line, smiling and holding the spring festival couplets with thick ink fragrance, and said to each other "Zazidler". The exhibition areas of Gongdui pottery, Cicheng Tibetan incense, Lagari ethnic handicrafts and agricultural and sideline products were also crowded with customers. A few days ago, Zhabao County, Shannan City held a speech contest for farmers and herdsmen. During the competition, 10 contestants from five towns told the touching stories and the great changes around them in the national common language. The wonderful speech was applauded by the audience. In recent days, the comprehensive cultural service center of Shannan Jiacha County, together with the county art troupe, has carried out the theme tour of "New Year's culture into thousands of families" and the award-winning knowledge quiz at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The staff of the Comprehensive Cultural Service Center set up a book donation link at the event site in combination with their own business. Through careful selection, the staff will send books and small prizes with a wide range of contents, various types and strong pertinence to book lovers and contestants. It is understood that Shannan also deepens the cultural benefit project, innovates the "propaganda+literature and art" mode, carries out the "menu" type theoretical propaganda and the "order" type performance of the masses, and integrates the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, the excellent traditional Chinese culture and other contents in the crosstalk sketches, folk art songs and dances, and prize contests and other literary and artistic activities, which will continuously promote the cultural atmosphere of the Tibetan New Year to the climax. In Renqinggang Village, Baidui Township, Sangri County, Shannan City, the artistic performance team in the village is brainstorming to enrich the lyrics of "Zhega". "Zhega" is a popular form of performance during the local Wangguo Festival and the Tibetan New Year. It is usually said before singing, and some simple dances are inserted and designed. More than 6 people will perform, and less than 1 person will perform. The traditional "Zhega" lyrics begin with blessings for good luck and harvest, then tell where you come from and where you are going, and then praise the host's generosity and hospitality with words. According to the time, place and object, the lyrics of "Zhega" will also change flexibly. "Every time when the village rehearses the performance of 'zigga', everyone will come to see it. The people are very happy to see it and can hum a few words from time to time, so we want to combine the 'zigga' with the propaganda, and the effect will be even more brilliant after the combination."
