At the "Flying Songs of the Earth 2004" party, foreign performing groups were among the best in both the number of actors and the number of programs. Moreover, the exchange and collision between China's national culture and the world's artistic essence made the party look different. At the party, we were delighted to see the gentlemen of the Vienna National Opera Choir and the little girls of the Original Ecology Choir of Guangxi Art College singing a wonderful duet. The humorous expressions of the gentlemen and the simple and natural innocence of the little girls set each other off and became the most touching chapter in "Flying Songs on Earth 2004". Equally wonderful is the northern Shaanxi folk song "Want to Kiss" sung by vienna state opera Chorus female singer and Zhao Dadi. Western opera and primitive folk songs in northern Shaanxi, China are perfectly integrated here.
Artists from ten ASEAN countries, Moldova, Italy, Denmark, Canada and other countries stepped off the stage and gathered with the audience on the "Greentown Song Terrace" all over Nanning. That touching scene is still printed in people's minds, lingering for a long time. ...
People sing into thousands of families.

◆ The 2004 Southeast Asia International Fashion Show invited four beautiful women, Jenny Tseng, Du Fu, Xiaoqing and Feng Jing, winners of the 200 1 2004 New Silk Road China Model Contest, to make their debut, which was the first time that the four champions made their collective appearance in Nanning.

International supermodels from other Southeast Asian countries and other Asian countries also made their first collective appearance at the party, and many supermodels gathered together. By expressing the willingness and mind of China, Guangxi and Nanning's clothing industry and fashion industry to cooperate with neighboring countries, the party laid the cultural brand of Nanning, the fashion capital of ASEAN.
Another highlight of Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival in 2004 is a special performance specially arranged for Moldova Di Zi National Song and Dance Troupe. In accordance with international practice, similar large-scale cultural activities should be held. On the premise of the participation of artists from many countries, in addition to the collective appearance at the first opening ceremony to show a strong lineup, the organizers should also arrange special performances by art groups from various countries. Therefore, the establishment of this "Zhenning Moldova Night" is a clear evidence of international integration.
Classic of the year
◆ The stage design for the opening ceremony of the annual Folk Song Festival can be regarded as a classic work of art of that year. The stage design of the opening ceremony of the 2004 Folk Song Festival is novel, fashionable and practical, emphasizing nationality and internationality. The theme of the party is "Ecology, Nature and Music". The middle of the stage is shaped like a guitar, and two banyan trees on both sides of the stage symbolize that folk songs were born in the natural environment and absorbed the natural fragrance. On the right side of the stage, it looks like a piano. The design at the back of the stage is similar to the national musical instrument "Sheng" and also like the notes in the staff, symbolizing the full integration of China folk songs and world music, highlighting the national characteristics of Guangxi, which is refreshing. Coupled with the 18m long mechanical arm on the head of the giant guitar, the mechanical arm can rise and fall on the stage and rotate 120 degrees, thus helping Song Zu Ying to complete the gorgeous stage performance of Song of the Enclave.
In 2004, the large-scale Guangxi folk song and dance "Beautiful Brocade" was a summary of the five-year outstanding works of Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival. This evening, the original songs of previous folk song art festivals were selected, and at the same time, a group of charming multi-voice folk songs of Zhuang nationality were excavated, and a brand-new folk dance epic of Guangxi ethnic minorities was created, which showed the national spirit and customs of people of all ethnic groups in Guangxi on the stage with brand-new techniques, brand-new lineup and brand-new creative ideas.
During the Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival in 2005, the special performance of Russell Red Army Song and Dance Troupe in Nanning brought the audience back to distant memories. Twenty-seven song and dance programs such as "Dedicated to the Great Patriotic War" and "Volga Boatman Song" are brilliant, and three sets of cars are "Ah! Goodbye, my friend! Russian songs, such as the night outside Moscow, China songs, such as defending the Yellow River, there would be no new China without communist party, and the song of the Yangtze River, set off waves of climax of the party.

Lang Kun, general director of the "Flying Songs of the Earth 2004" party: The theme of the party is "Peace Festival", and the arrangement of programs and the choice of costumes pay more attention to infiltrating the cultural life of all ethnic groups.
