"Pipa Xing," written by the famous poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), is an outstanding long narrative poem that has earned its place in the history of Chinese poetry, with its delicate portrayal of landscape scenes and detailed descriptions of human emotions. Hundreds of years later, Qiu Ying of the Ming Dynasty used it as inspiration to create another masterpiece of landscape painting with figures added called "Pipa Song at Xunyang." This transformed the poetic composition into a panoramic image based on meticulous brushwork and vibrant colors to suffuse the painting with a dreamlike atmosphere. Produced by China Media Group, the cultural program "China in Poetry and Painting" invited acclaimed thespian Pu Cunxin and Wu Yuxia, a skilled player of the pipa, or Chinese lute, to help reanimate this classic painting and enthrall modern audiences by presenting it in a novel new light.
