Hangzhou · Neoclassical Immersive Drama "Jianghu Rumengling" is a pioneering stage production that blends traditional aesthetics with modern immersive experiences. Set against the backdrop of Southern Song Dynasty's Lin'an, the play transports audiences into a martial arts world where reality and illusion intertwine. Breaking from traditional theater formats, "The Dreamlike World of Jianghu" shatters the fourth wall, allowing audiences to freely roam ancient streets and teahouses in Hanfu attire while interacting closely with performers and even influencing the storyline. The production incorporates intangible cultural heritage elements like Yue opera movements, guqin performances, and Song dynasty-style tea ceremonies, enhanced by holographic projections and surround sound to create an immersive "wandering through a painting" experience. The play revolves around the themes of "love" and "loyalty," depicting the emotional entanglements of martial arts heroes in turbulent times. Audiences may become sworn companions to the protagonists or passing guests at the inn—each person will gain a unique theatrical experience. Since its debut, this production has become a new cultural landmark for Hangzhou, infusing the ancient capital with vibrant contemporary artistic energy.

The exhibition design draws inspiration from the Ming Dynasty classic "Liao Fan's four lessons," extracting "kindness" as the core theme to convey goodwill through warm and healing art forms. It features a "non-depression space" and an "energy space" where visitors can temporarily set aside their worries and "recharge" emotionally, aiming to help audiences achieve inner peace and healing. The exhibition retains its signature interactive elements, including a "30 soul-searching questions" interactive Q&A zone to guide self-exploration, and a wish-writing station at the entrance for visitors to leave commemorative messages.
