BAOFENG, March 2 (Xinhua) -- The annual Majie Quyi Fair, a grand feast for Quyi fans, was staged as scheduled here on Sunday, as part of the ongoing Chinese New Year celebrations.
Quyi refers to a school of traditional Chinese folk arts in narrative and singing forms, including ballad singing, comic dialogues, clapper talk and crosstalk, still popular among the Chinese people.
The Majie Quyi Fair, well attended despite the bad weather, boasts a history of over 700 years, and was inscribed in the first national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006.
