A Local Goddess's Birthday
In the heart of Binshe village, Shaoxing, an ancient tradition unfolds each year — a three-day celebration honouring a local goddess with the haunting melodies of The Story of Pipa, performed exclusively by female Yue opera artists. As the villagers intertwine myth, history, and devotion, the lines between reality and legend blur, revealing a tale where music bridges worlds and ancestral echoes linger on sacred stones.
