Stage Lighting Projects & Solutions by FINE ART

On the afternoon of September 30, the trial performance of the large-scale original South Anhui Flower Drum Opera *Silver Statue No. 6* was held at the Red Star Auditorium in Xuancheng. The opera is adapted from the tragic and heroic deeds of three generations of the family of Communist Party member Mei Dadong, who sacrificed their lives to protect a silver statue of Marx. At the performance, the audience and guests watched the entire production immersively and were deeply moved by the dramatic revolutionary story, the fervent patriotism, and the fearless perseverance of the revolutionary spirit. They highly recognized the production's creative concept of using South Anhui Flower Drum Opera as a vehicle to vividly recreate local red history and carry forward the revolutionary spirit.

After the trial performance, an expert seminar on the trial performance of *Silver Statue No. 6* was held promptly. Domestic theatre experts, municipal leaders, and the creative team gathered together to provide precise guidance on the production from multiple dimensions including script refinement, character portrayal, vocal design, stage arrangement, red expression, and the characteristics of the theatrical genre. Mei Jingjun, a descendant of the revolutionary martyr Mei Dadong, attended the event and offered suggestions on character portrayal and story details based on the historical facts of family inheritance. He expressed the hope that the production would preserve historical authenticity, carry forward the faith of the predecessors, and allow the red spirit embodied in "Silver Statue No. 6" to be passed down from generation to generation through South Anhui Flower Drum Opera.

In this stage presentation of a red revolutionary theme, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to paint the backdrop of the times for the revolutionary past of the South Anhui region. The FINE 1700 WASH PERF wash and framing moving head light, with a total luminous flux of over 50,000 lm and excellent color rendering of Ra ≥ 90, together with two color wheels each with 6 colors plus white, CMY infinite color mixing, and CTO linear color temperature adjustment, rendered the vast night of the South Anhui mountains and the faint glow of the revolutionary spark with distinct layers. A framing system rotatable ±90° precisely framed the figures of revolutionaries holding fast to their faith in the dark night.

The FINE 1800 PERF and FINE 1400 PERF pattern and framing moving head lights worked in tandem as the mainstay of stage shaping. The former, with a 188mm output lens and a total luminous flux output of over 39,000 lm, delivers a thick, full beam for long-distance projection within a 5° to 45° zoom range, and uniform light spots for close-range coverage. The latter, with a 140mm output lens and a total luminous flux output of over 35,000 lm, can achieve a frost effect by adjusting focus without changing the beam size or luminous flux output. Both fixtures integrate intelligent fan control, encoder positioning, and main and secondary reflector designs, freely switching between grand and delicate to render the smoke of war and the moments of deep emotion in the revolutionary journey, freezing every historical moment with crisp clarity.

The FINE 4037 WASH PLUS high-power LED moving head wash light, with its all-new optical design, balances uniform color mixing and soft effects. Its wide 4° to 60° zoom range effortlessly meets diverse lighting needs from solo monologues to impassioned ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of red-themed traditional opera. The FINE 608 BATTEN LED moving head bar effect light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four-in-one light sources and a light output exceeding 6,000 lm, delivers a full, non-crossing beam at the narrowest angle within a 5° to 50° zoom range and excellent color mixing at wide angles, painting dynamic light accents for the flow of time and space on stage.

As the vocal melodies of South Anhui Flower Drum Opera echo for a long time in the Red Star Auditorium, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating the fervent revolutionary past behind "Silver Statue No. 6," but also reflecting the unwavering power of faith and unchanging original aspiration of the revolutionary predecessors.

On the evening of September 29, the 6th China Opera Festival, hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Fujian Provincial People's Government and jointly organized by the Xiamen Municipal People's Government, the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Fujian Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the China Opera Research Society, concluded successfully in Xiamen, Fujian.

The China Opera Festival is the highest-level and largest national artistic event in China's opera field. This year's festival adopted a dual-city model linking Xiamen and Fuzhou, bringing together 16 outstanding productions and presenting 31 professional performances. It covered four major sections: exhibitions of outstanding productions, thematic seminars, arts popularization and public benefit programs, and creative talent training. The festival fully implemented the requirements of bringing literature and art to the people, used opera as a bond to deepen cross-strait cultural understanding, and gathered tremendous strength to promote the prosperity and development of Chinese opera art. Among the many outstanding works at this year's festival, FINE ART professional lighting fixtures provided full support with precise light and shadow, injecting radiant brilliance blending technology and aesthetics into the contemporary presentation of opera art.

The national opera *Zheng Chenggong* by the Xiamen Song and Dance Theatre served as the closing performance. The opera takes as its main thread Zheng Chenggong's national righteousness in uniting all parties, overcoming all obstacles, and recovering Taiwan. It depicts both his brilliant military achievements that shine in history and his tragic sentiments in the face of a shattered homeland and an unfinished campaign, creating a flesh-and-blood tragic hero between grand narrative and delicate lyricism. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light, with its 1500W high-power output and outstanding color rendering index of Ra and R9 both greater than or equal to 95, accurately reproduced the weighty texture of stage history and the delicate layers of character costumes. The FINE 1700L WASH PERF wash and framing moving head light, equipped with the latest high-efficiency light engine, delivers Ra ≥ 90 and a total luminous flux output of over 50,000 lm, rendering the vast sea, twilight clouds, beacon fires, and setting sun with distinct layers. The FINE 4019 PIXIE PLUS, with its ultra-wide linear zoom range of 4° to 60°, 65 color macros, and 64 effect macros, laid out a delicate and varied emotional foundation for the stage. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three-in-one fixture, together with the FINE 604 BATTEN bar effect light and the FINE 400T LEKO low-color-temperature 3200K LED profile light, painted dynamic light accents for the transitions of time and space. The FINE 1400SF follow spot closely followed every solitary figure on stage with its full beam.

The Shaanxi Song and Dance Theatre's *Zhang Qian* distills dramatic plots from historical records and legends, using human separations and reunions to write about the great achievement of opening up the Western Regions, celebrating the pioneering spirit with Silk Road charm, integrating Eastern and Western civilizations, and showcasing the patriotic passion and heroic spirit of a giant of his era. The FINE 1700LH BSWF, with its dual color wheels with 12 professional color filters, CMY infinite color mixing combined with CTO linear color temperature adjustment, one rotating gobo wheel with 6 pluggable gobos, and one fixed gobo wheel with 9 gobos working together with a dynamic effect wheel, slowly unfolded the magnificent scroll of desert smoke and Silk Road camel bells in precise light and color, making every step of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions tread upon a historical scroll woven with light and shadow.

The original national opera *March of the Volunteers* by the Shanghai Opera House artistically recreates the birth of the national anthem and portrays the group image of left-wing literary and artistic pioneers. Since its premiere, it has been performed more than 50 times, witnessing historical moments such as the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance. The FINE 1770L BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay with its superior long-throw capability, with an effective range of up to 100 meters, transforming the stage into a historical scroll transcending time and space. Its outstanding light quality, with Ra and R9 both reaching up to 95, accurately reproduced the resolute expressions and plain clothing of left-wing literary and artistic pioneers in the war-torn years. Its patented cooling system maintains full-power operation at room temperature without derating, with noise below 45dB, protecting with silence the solemnity and sanctity of the moment the national anthem was born.

As the arias of opera echo for a long time in the night sky over the Egret Island, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating the brilliant chapters of the 16 outstanding productions at the 6th China Opera Festival, but also reflecting the contemporary spirit of Chinese opera art as it carries forward its original aspiration through tradition and innovation and embarks together on a new journey.

On the evening of September 29, a grand gathering that brought together the essence of television art and the spirit of the times — the Closing Ceremony Gala of the 16th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival and the 33rd China TV Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, jointly hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Hunan Provincial People's Government, and the China Television Artists Association — was broadcast simultaneously on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV. He Jiong and Shen Mengchen co-hosted, with Ma Li joining as a special guest. Yu Hewei and Song Jia won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, while Zhu Yawen and Mei Ting won Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. *Tree of Life* took home Best TV Series and Best Screenplay.

The ceremony's overall stage design concept was "The Eye of the Golden Eagle." Feathers transformed into waves, gathering the glimmers and dreams of television professionals. "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" connected the virtual and the real, gazing into the dream-making world within the camera lens. On stage, the shining golden eagle wings became surging waves; behind the scenes, the rear of the stage became an exclusive "viewfinder" for television professionals, where the virtual and the real intertwined and light and shadow flowed. The entire ceremony adopted an innovative format of narrative-style award presentations and scenographic award-giving, completely breaking the inherent model of traditional award ceremonies.

In this grand ceremony where visuals and honors intertwined, FINE ART injected a dynamic soul into the "Golden Eagle Waves" with stage machinery and lighting technology. At the top of the stage, FD W5010A dual-line winches carried FINE 6019 PIXIE IP moving head lights, perfectly matching "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" with a wave-shaped layout. The FD W5010A has a power output of up to 2500W and supports Ethernet communication protocols. All parameters can be precisely controlled via the console's DMX, with the linear position error of the suspension points controlled within 1mm. The two steel wire ropes ensure that the fixtures do not rotate and run smoothly during lifting. At every award highlight moment, the dual-line winches move slowly, and the fixtures flicker with the rise and fall of the waves, like a golden eagle spreading its wings and skimming over a sea of light and shadow, freezing every glorious moment into eternity.

Working in tandem with the winches, the FD Hoistar multifunctional human-machine interaction stage machinery control console is built on a Linux system architecture and an Intel i5 processor. Its dual 17.3-inch LCD touchscreens, together with backlit motorized faders and photoelectric encoders, provide smooth and fluid interaction. Multiple software and hardware safety guarantees — including DMP foot pedals, local emergency stop, built-in UPS, user permission settings, facial recognition, operational parameter safety warnings, closed-loop control, and 3D visualization monitoring — make every lift of the dual-line winches rock-solid. Tabular programming, object-based programming, offline CUE programming, 3D asset and CAD import, and 3D graphical control effortlessly manage the complex scheduling of multiple award rounds throughout the ceremony.

More than a hundred FINE 6019 PIXIE IP units became the most dynamic brushstrokes of light and shadow at the top of the stage. As high-brightness, high-performance wash and beam fixtures, their 19 x 60W light sources are paired with a 20:1 zoom optical system, presenting a unique effect ranging from a sharp 3.2° beam to a wide 65° wash. When the golden eagle wings transformed into surging waves and the entire venue was immersed in a warm atmosphere paying tribute to television professionals, the fixtures spread layer upon layer of light and shadow ripples with uniform, soft color mixing, intertwining with "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" in virtual and real dimensions, allowing the glimmers of every television worker to converge into a surging tide of the times.

As "The Eye of the Golden Eagle" gazes inside and outside the lens, and as feathers transform into waves merging into a sea of light and shadow, FINE ART, with the precision of stage machinery and the agility of lighting technology, not only illuminates the contemporary spirit of Chinese television professionals striving forward in relay, but also reflects the dedication and love for the dream-making world behind every glimmer of light.

On September 25 and 27, the opening and closing gala performances of the 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival were broadcast on CCTV's Variety Channel. With a high-standard ethnic cultural and artistic feast, the galas resounded with the main theme of ethnic unity, endowing the country's first Ethnic Unity and Progress Publicity Week and the Mid-Autumn Festival with profound contemporary significance. The National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival is jointly hosted by the National Ethnic Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Radio and Television Administration, China Media Group, and the Beijing Municipal People's Government. It is an important cultural platform for showcasing the cultural diversity of all ethnic groups and enhancing exchanges, communication, and integration among them.

The 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival was held in Beijing from August 18 to September 23, 2026. A total of 48 outstanding productions were staged in multiple theatres across Beijing, with 114 wonderful performances, setting a new record for the number of productions in the festival's history. The productions covered a wide range of art forms including drama, opera, traditional Chinese opera, dance drama, musical theatre, and acrobatics. Closely focusing on the main thread of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and adhering to a people-centered creative orientation, this year's festival presented a batch of outstanding stage art works that embody the depth of Chinese culture, draw nourishment from the cultures of all ethnic groups, and integrate modern civilization.

The opening ceremony gala, broadcast on September 25, consisted of a prologue and three chapters: "Shared Bloodline and Roots," "Shared Beauty of Home," and "One Heart of China." The 14 programs comprehensively employed artistic forms such as song, dance, instrumental music, scene performance, and intangible cultural heritage displays, of which 12 were newly created for this gala. The closing ceremony gala, broadcast on September 27, consisted of a prologue, two chapters — "Colorful Scroll" and "Striving Chapter" — and a theme song, with a total of 10 programs including song, dance, instrumental music, traditional Chinese opera, and children's theatre. The opening gala achieved 6.425 million single-event views on Yangshipin, and the bullet comments of "great unity of all ethnic groups" witnessed the public's love for and resonance with cultural content on ethnic unity, also demonstrating the powerful role of literature and art in coalescing public sentiment and cultivating deep feelings.

On the stage of the opening and closing ceremonies of this national-level ethnic cultural and artistic event, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to passionately support the contemporary scroll of ethnic unity. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay with a strong lineup of 270 units at the opening ceremony and 85 units at the closing ceremony. With an outstanding color rendering index of Ra and R9 both greater than or equal to 95, it accurately reproduced the brilliant colors of the ethnic costumes and the rich layers of the stage scenery. Equipped with dual color wheels with 12 professional color filters, CMY infinite color mixing combined with CTO linear color temperature adjustment, one rotating gobo wheel with 6 pluggable gobos, and one fixed gobo wheel with 9 gobos working together with a dynamic effect wheel, it created, as the three chapters "Shared Bloodline and Roots," "Shared Beauty of Home," and "One Heart of China" unfolded, a moving picture of all ethnic groups living, learning, building, and sharing together, allowing every program to blossom with ethnic splendor in precise light and color.

The FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system used innovative technology to solve the traditional challenges of follow-spot operation. With low-latency fiber-optic cabling, real-time tracking cursor and target cursor precisely locked onto every performer on stage. The multi-height mode enabled free adjustment of spot height when encountering steps, effortlessly handling the complex stage scheduling of the opening and closing ceremonies, ensuring every heartfelt performance by performers of all ethnic groups was clearly captured. The FINE 4000XF high-power follow spot was born for long-distance projection. Using a 4000W xenon lamp as its light source, it delivers a stable 6000K color temperature and a color rendering index of Ra ≥ 96. Suitable for live television recording, it provided solid assurance for CCTV's broadcast images with high-fidelity light quality, allowing audiences nationwide to feel the brilliant charm of ethnic art through the screen.

As the songs of all ethnic groups converge into the mighty power of unity, and as Chinese people on and off the screen join this covenant of one heart, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating every brilliant moment of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 7th National Ethnic Minority Literature and Art Festival, but also reflecting the contemporary atmosphere of the Chinese nation's diversity in unity and hearts building dreams together.

On the night of August 28, 2026, at the New City Center Square in Tashkent. The eight-pointed star stage resembles an unfurled national emblem, and the seven "Pishtaq" arches are awakened by light one after another, while the national flag rises slowly at the top of the central portal. Uzbekistan welcomes the night of its 35th anniversary of independence. On this night, light is not merely illumination; it is a national narrative painted on the canvas of the night sky.

The lighting design team closely followed the celebration theme "With a united homeland and a united people, we will build a new life, a new future!" Taking "Light of the East" as the underlying design logic, they adopted the blue, white, and green of the national flag as the base colors, combined the architectural aesthetics of Samarkand's blue domes, the intricate patterns of traditional textiles, and the radiant light of civilizational fusion along the Silk Road, and used light and shadow to create a visual feast imbued with a national ceremonial sense, an international aesthetic vision, and unique ethnic charm. The entire celebration was divided through the language of light and shadow into three narrative layers: Solemn Tribute, Joyous Celebration, and Future Hope. From warm gold to surging vermilion and emerald green, and then to a gradient of pale pink and light blue, light became the emotional thread running through the entire event, connecting the country's past, present, and future through light and shadow.

PART.01 Stage Design

The Eight-Pointed Star and Seven Arches:

Light Grows Out of Architecture

For the stage of a national-level celebration, a core question often arises: how can cultural symbols transform from "a background to be viewed" into "the subject of the narrative"? The traditional approach treats traditional architectural elements as stage backdrops, illuminated from the outside, with the symbols remaining passive and static. The solution presented by this celebration was to make the architecture itself a luminous body.

The stage design centers on the "eight-pointed star" main performance area, with overall high symmetry. The eight-pointed star is not only a core symbol in Uzbek national patterns but also an ultimate expression of geometric aesthetics. Using it as the stage floor form means there is no longer a single front to the viewing relationship; every angle is a front, and every gaze can reach the visual center.

The most core visual anchor is the seven "Pishtaq" Central Asian classical arches (C1–C7) on the stage. Pishtaq is commonly found on the front facades of Central Asian mosques, madrasas, and ancient city gates. The design team made them three-dimensional and stage-oriented, turning the entire stage into an "architectural national narrative." What the audience sees is not a temporary performance installation but a "city" belonging to Uzbekistan, completed jointly by light and structure.

Inside each of the C1–C7 arches, a large number of pixel strobe bars and framing lights are embedded. Light overflows from within the architecture rather than being illuminated from the outside. The arches are no longer silent scenery but an integral part of the stage's light environment itself; light grows out of the body of the architecture.

C4 is positioned in the center and is the largest in volume, with a rotatable flagpole at its top. After the flag-raising ceremony, the flagpole slowly returns to position through rotation, restoring C4's visual center of gravity to the lighting matrix. The rotation trajectory must avoid the installation points of the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP and FINE 600LH BSWF IP at the top, and the cable routing must be coordinated with the rotation axis so that the ceremonial action and the lighting layout do not interfere with each other.

The stage space is divided into multiple layers of depth: suspended roof systems on both sides of the stage, the main stage and lift in the middle, the audience seating and front-light structures in the front, and an extension to the riverbank area at the rear. Front, middle, rear, upper, and lower — five dimensions together form a complete three-dimensional performance space.

PART.02 Lighting Design

A Ceremony of Light for a National Celebration: Solemnity, Joy, and Hope

The lighting design was completed by the Dongyu Huaxing design team. The entire lighting scheme revolves around the core concept of "Light of the East," using the blue, white, and green of the Uzbek national flag as the base tones, and transforming the architectural aesthetics of Samarkand's blue domes, the intricate patterns of traditional textiles, and the blending light of Silk Road civilizations into three visualized narrative layers: Solemn Tribute, Joyous Celebration, and Future Hope.

Solemn Tribute: Warm gold overflows from inside the Pishtaq arches, outlining the contours of classical architecture with low illumination and high color rendering. The C4 flagpole becomes the visual endpoint of the entire venue.

Joyous Celebration: Vermilion and emerald green are released over large areas, with light rising, falling, rotating, and sweeping to the rhythm of traditional song and dance. As the dancers' skirts swirl, the light learns to rotate as well.

Future Hope: The lighting switches to soft mode, with a gradient from pale pink to light blue blooming under the night sky like the vitality of the younger generation. Finally, hundreds of drones form dynamic images in the night sky, echoing the ground lighting between heaven and earth, like a letter written to the future, lifted into the night sky by light.

To adapt to the complex structure of the eight-pointed star main stage and the seven Pishtaq arches, the lighting system adopted a zoned, all-dimensional lighting strategy. The zoning logic is not a simple spatial division but stems from the four different tasks that a national-level celebration demands of lighting: facial light precision, cross-zone projection, screen integration, and architectural luminescence. Each zone solves one specific problem.

Zone A (Front Light Zone)

Located on both sides behind the audience seating, the arc-arranged lighting towers handle facial lighting and follow-spot functions. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP is responsible for long-distance precise projection, ensuring uniform facial illumination for speakers and performers; the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP supplements large-area atmospheric wash lighting; the FINE 4037 PIXIE PLUS injects flowing light effects with its beam and wash two-in-one functionality; and the FINE 4000 XF follow spot locks onto the President's entrance and the leaders' speeches in real time.

Zone B (Roof System Zone)

This consists of 8 sets of aluminum alloy trusses suspended above and on both sides of the main stage, driven by 60 CNC electric hoists. The highest point of Zone B reaches 26 meters, forming a projection distance of nearly 80 meters from the Zone A audience seating. Conventional stages rarely extend the top-light structure to such a height and span, because long distance means light loss and precision attenuation. The design team took the opposite approach, using Zone B simultaneously for stage top lighting and VIP audience facial lighting. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP has an effective range of 100 meters, with Ra and R9 both reaching 95 or above. After crossing 80 meters, the light spot does not attenuate, providing uniform and soft facial light.

Zones K and P (LED Screen Zones)

These are the visual scrolls unfolding on both sides of the stage. Fourteen LED screens and eight fixed screens are arranged on the left and right. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP is positioned at the top of the middle-tier vertical screens, establishing a light ratio transition between the screens and the stage; the FINE 600 BSW II is densely distributed around the middle and upper screens, alternating with pixel strobe bars to extend the colors of the LED images into the stage space. The screens are no longer isolated luminous bodies but together with the Zone B top light and the Zone C arch light bands form a continuous light environment.

Zone C (Pishtaq Landscape Element Zone)

This is the key zone where the arches become luminous bodies. Inside each arch, FINE 1700LH BSWF IP, FINE 6019 PIXIE IP, FINE 600LH BSWF IP, pixel strobe bars, and laser lights are embedded. The FINE 1700LH BSWF IP projects fine pattern textures; the FINE 6019 PIXIE IP lays out light and shadow transitions with free switching from a 3.2° beam to 65° wash; and pixel strobe bars form flowing light bands along the architectural edges. The installation angles of all fixtures are matched one by one to the curved surfaces of the arches, and the light paths are redesigned within a non-standard optical space, making the fixtures an integral part of the architectural components.

In addition to the three core zones, more than a hundred FINE 600 BSW II three-in-one moving head lights and FINE 150FT color professional footlights are deployed on the stage floor, responsible for ground dynamic beams and footlight supplementation. In the riverbank area, beam lights, wash lights, fog machines, and cold-flame fireworks work together to extend the ambient atmosphere of the entire square to the outermost edge.

PART.03 The World Journey of Domestic Fixtures

Light Through Wind and Sand:

FINE ART's Tashkent Answer Sheet

"The specifications for this celebration were extremely high, and the Uzbek government attached great importance to it. Coupled with the special local climate conditions, the technical indicators required of the selected equipment were very demanding. We always believed that domestic equipment was fully capable. The final result also proved that our choice was correct." Behind the lighting designer's calm tone lay a quiet certainty.

This certainty was no accident. Over the past decade, China's stage lighting industry has undergone a profound transformation from OEM to independent development, from following to running abreast. According to the China Entertainment Technology Association and related industry research reports, Chinese products account for more than 80% of the global stage lighting equipment market, of which 85% come from Guangdong. FINE ART, which grew up on this fertile manufacturing ground, has an overseas footprint that is itself a microcosm of Chinese stage lighting going global: from the 2019 Ho Chi Minh City Carnival Music Festival in Vietnam to the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2023 Southeast Asian Games, from Korea's MMA 2025 peak night to the 50th anniversary celebration of Vietnam's liberation and reunification, and to the modernized studio of Uzbekistan's ZO'R TV updated in 2023 — Chinese fixtures are becoming frequent guests on more and more national-level stages and top-tier performing arts events.

This Uzbekistan Independence Day celebration, as a national-level event, imposed multiple hard requirements on the fixtures: broadcast-grade color rendering and consistency, stability in extreme environments, dimming linearity in the low-brightness range, and long-distance high-precision framing. The Tashkent site provided the verification.

High Color Rendering Index and Consistency — The values of Ra and R9 are not just parameters; they are the fundamental guarantee of whether facial skin tones in television images are natural and whether the national flag colors are accurate. Color consistency allows hundreds of fixtures to be turned on simultaneously without the need to correct color differences one by one, which is particularly valuable on site under tight schedules.

Dust Resistance and High-Temperature Resistance — Tashkent has large day-night temperature differences and frequent wind-blown sand. The fixtures maintained stable output during nearly a month of continuous operation. The audience does not see the erosion of wind and sand on the fixtures; what they see is light itself flowing freely as if undisturbed.

Delicacy of the Dimming Curve — The linear transition from 0% to 100% is smooth, especially the light-up and light-down in the low-brightness range, which determines whether each light change in the performance is a refined sense of breathing or a rigid mechanical switch. When the lighting needs to slowly awaken from a dark scene, any jump would break the solemnity of the ceremony.

The most intuitive verification came from the lighting scheme for the President's speech desk: the FINE 1700Ultra BSWF projected from 60 meters on each side, ultimately controlling the light spot within an area of less than one square meter. Sixty meters of distance, one square meter of precision, high edge sharpness, and spot quality without purple fringing — this was recognized by the Uzbek authorities. It is the innovative iterative achievement of FINE ART's optical imaging system and framing mechanical structure. In addition, when the designer exchanged views with Uzbek counterparts in Tashkent, the latter expressed clear recognition of domestic brands, especially FINE ART fixtures. This was not politeness but a signal worth recording: on the Central Asian stages along the Belt and Road, Chinese fixtures are no longer merely synonymous with "cost-effectiveness"; they have earned the respect of professional peers through technological strength.

From September 13 to 19, the 12th China Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Award National Acrobatics Competition and the 6th China Acrobatics Art Festival were held in Puyang. Twenty-six outstanding acrobatics troupes from across the country staged a showdown of the acrobatics world in Puyang, demonstrating the industry's excellence with superb skills and presenting a feast blending skill and aesthetics.

Held every three years, the China Acrobatics Golden Chrysanthemum Award is a national professional literary and artistic award approved by the Central Committee and co-hosted by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Acrobatics Association. It is the highest award in Chinese acrobatics and the most prestigious competition in the field. The competition was divided into Group A and Group B, with 13 acts in each group. Over two days, four rounds were held, and each act was performed twice.

During the competition, the participating teams, with breathtaking leaps and flips as their backbone and the aesthetics of contemporary cultural heritage as their soul, delivered an audio-visual feast in which traditional skills and modern art were deeply integrated. In rope acrobatics, performers leaped in unison with perfect coordination. Traditional feats such as bowl tossing on high unicycles, jar balancing, and bowl stacking, passed down through generations, saw performers complete throws, catches, stacks, and handstands in dynamic balance. Swing-bridge dives, springboard leaps, ground-ring passes, and shaking-bar rotations repeatedly pushed the limits of gravity. Each precise, clean technique froze the moment, leaving the audience holding their breath in amazement and truly feeling the thrill and brilliance of acrobatics, vividly interpreting the unique charm of acrobatics in the new era: "skill can reach the extreme, art can reach far."

In this feast at the pinnacle of acrobatics, two professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to safeguard every breathtaking moment. The FINE 1700ZL BSWF four-in-one framing light delivers a maximum output of 40,000 lm, supporting the vast space of the mobile theatre with abundant luminous flux. One rotating gobo wheel with 6 gobos plus white, combined with a continuously rotating dynamic effect wheel, simulates dynamic visual effects, giving every mid-air flight and leap greater tension and sense of speed through the flow of light and shadow. A framing system with four full framing blades can rotate the framing direction ±90°, producing sharp, distortion-free cut edges that precisely frame every highlight of the performers' airborne flips, revealing the solid skills honed through countless repetitions.

The FINE 1400 PERF framing light has a 140mm output lens and a total luminous flux output greater than 35,000 lm. Its unique optical design produces a uniform light spot and can achieve a frost effect by adjusting focus without changing the beam size or luminous flux output. CMY infinite color mixing and CTO linear color temperature adjustment cover 2700K to 6500K. One rotating gobo wheel with 5 bi-directionally rotating positioning gobos works with one dynamic effect wheel, rendering the transitions between motion and stillness in acrobatic performances with clear layers, achieving a subtle balance between the thrills of high-difficulty skills and the aesthetics of acrobatic art in soft frosted light.

When all four rounds ended and applause and cheers echoed through the Water Show Park, FINE ART used light as a brush, not only illuminating every brilliant moment of the peak showdown among the 26 teams, but also reflecting the contemporary spirit of Chinese acrobatics: "skill can reach the extreme, art can reach far."

Carrying forward the cultural lineage of traditional Chinese opera, new voices pay tribute to the sages. On the evening of September 16, the original Yu Opera Lion's Roar, produced by the Xi'an Yu Opera Theatre, appeared at the 11th Shaanxi Provincial Arts Festival, brilliantly staged at the Shanyang County Workers' Cultural Palace Grand Theatre. It competed for the Shaanxi Wenhua Award, interpreting patriotism through the new charm of traditional opera.

The original modern Yu Opera Lion's Roar is a 2026 National Arts Fund large-scale stage drama grant project, meticulously created by Xi'an Yu Opera Theatre Co., Ltd. Based on the real life of Mr. Fan Cuiting, known as the "Father of Modern Yu Opera," the production looks back on the tumultuous history of the Lion's Roar Troupe's westward migration during the war and its rooting in Chang'an, continuing the long-standing theatrical and cultural lineage between Henan and Shaanxi. With powerful Yu Opera melodies, the play praises the lofty spirit of the older generation of opera predecessors who preserved their art in adversity and served the country with loyal hearts. It deeply explores the core of red literary and artistic spirit, integrating ideological depth, artistic quality, and entertainment value, and delivers a substantial answer to the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional opera in the new era.

In this epic presentation of the wartime opera world, two professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to paint the backdrop of the times for the Lion's Roar Troupe's westward migration. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay. With an effective range of up to 100 meters and outstanding light quality with Ra and R9 both reaching 95, it accurately reproduced the desolate texture of the war-torn era and the rich charm of traditional opera costumes. One rotating gobo wheel with 6 gobos, one fixed gobo wheel with 9 gobos plus white, and 12 color filters interweave to create, as the plot unfolds, the arduous journey of the westward migration and the steadfast watch of putting down roots in Chang'an. A full framing system rotatable ±90° produces sharp, distortion-free cut edges, precisely framing Fan Cuiting's resolute figure preserving his art in adversity and the moving moments of the opera predecessors serving the country with loyal hearts.

The FINE 400CL7 professional LED cyclorama and floor light employs a 7-color full-spectrum optical design, continuously outputting white light with color temperatures from 2700K to 10,000K, with Ra and R9 both maintained above 90 and light output exceeding 16,000 lm. Its 16-bit high-precision dimming makes color mixing more accurate and dimming more delicate. From the vast backdrop of the wartime westward migration to the spotlight at the center of the stage, the cyclorama and floor light builds a well-layered background light curtain for the entire production with its broad color gamut, making the powerful vocal style of Yu Opera even more stirring and moving in light and shadow, and allowing the spirit of "Lion's Roar" to resonate through every aria.

As the melodies of Yu Opera echo for a long time at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating the tumultuous past of the Lion's Roar Troupe's westward migration during the war, but also reflecting the lofty spirit of the older generation of opera predecessors who preserved their art in adversity and served the country with loyal hearts.

On the evening of September 15, the opening ceremony of the 11th Shaanxi Provincial Arts Festival was held at the Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre. Held every three years, the Shaanxi Provincial Arts Festival took place in southern Shaanxi for the first time this year, running from September 15 to October 14 in Shangluo. Adhering to the purpose of "a grand gathering of arts, a festival for the people," the event featured opening and closing ceremonies, evaluations for the Wenhua Award and the Galaxy Award, exhibitions of outstanding fine arts, calligraphy, and photography, and benefit performances of excellent productions. It presented outstanding works created over the past three years by Shaanxi's professional art troupes and mass art workers, built an important platform for industry exchange and talent cultivation, and helped advance the construction of a strong cultural province.

As drums and gongs sounded and the curtain rose, the Shangluo Flower Drum Opera The Protagonist, produced by the Shangluo Local Opera Research Institute, was brilliantly staged as the opening performance, officially launching the province's highest-level arts event. Adapted from the Mao Dun Literature Prize-winning novel of the same name by Shangluo-born writer Chen Yan, the production uses the national-level intangible cultural heritage Shangluo Flower Drum Opera as its artistic vehicle. It integrates local opera vocal styles, modern stage technology, and live symphony performance, using a local theatrical form to interpret a literary classic by a local author. The opera tells the tumultuous life of Yi Qin'e, a country girl who enters the world of traditional Chinese opera. With a shepherd's song, the innocent girl joins a county opera troupe. Despite cold treatment and criticism, she quietly perseveres. Through her outstanding skills, she rises step by step to the center of the stage, becoming a renowned opera star who tastes both glory and loneliness.

As one of the important activities of the Arts Festival, the final evaluation of the Galaxy Award was held at the Shangluo Theatre from September 7 to 10. Sixty-eight outstanding mass art works competed fiercely across four artistic categories: music, dance, drama, and quyi. With a stronger mass character, richer everyday warmth, and deeper ideological content, they highlighted the new achievements and breakthroughs in Shaanxi's mass art work.

Behind the opening ceremony and the Galaxy Award final evaluation, multiple high-quality professional stage lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to support this triennial cultural and artistic event. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one fixture served as the main lighting force for both major events. With outstanding light quality (Ra and R9 both greater than 95), it accurately reproduced the rustic charm of Shangluo Flower Drum Opera costumes and the rich textures of the stage scenery. Its two color wheels with 12 professional color filters, one rotating gobo wheel, one fixed gobo wheel, and dynamic effect wheel interweave to create, as the plot of the opening performance The Protagonist unfolds, the cold years of the county opera troupe and the brilliant glory at the center of the stage. On the Galaxy Award stage, it effortlessly met the diverse lighting needs of music, dance, drama, and quyi performances appearing in turn.

The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three-in-one fixture and the FINE 400CL7 professional LED cyclorama and floor lights were used in the opening ceremony. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS, with its 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam with strong penetration. Its CMY + CTO + independent flowing color wheel interweaves, while 13 color filters plus white, together with rotating and fixed gobo wheels, create diverse visual effects. It vividly renders the intertwining warmth and coldness of the opera troupe years and the glory and loneliness at the center of the stage in The Protagonist, bringing a richly layered visual impact to the opening performance. The FINE 400CL7 continuously outputs white light with color temperatures from 2700K to 10,000K, with Ra and R9 both maintained above 90 and light output exceeding 16,000 lm. With 16-bit high-precision dimming, it builds a well-layered background light curtain with natural transitions for the opening ceremony stage, allowing the local charm of Shangluo Flower Drum Opera to become even richer and more moving across a wide color gamut.

It is understood that during the Arts Festival, 30 productions competing for the Wenhua Award will be staged at four venues in Shangluo, covering multiple categories including traditional opera, drama, dance drama, children's theatre, musical theatre, and folk song opera. Among them, more than 20 productions use FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures. The Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre undertakes the opening and closing ceremonies and several major productions. The Danfeng County Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre, Shangluo Theatre, and Shanyang County Workers' Cultural Palace Grand Theatre will simultaneously stage diverse productions including national orchestral music, symphony, acrobatics drama, and Yu Opera.

A grand gathering of arts, a festival for the people. After the opening ceremony and the Galaxy Award, more outstanding productions will appear at this Arts Festival, and FINE ART will continue to support the 11th Shaanxi Provincial Arts Festival. We look forward to more audiences entering the theatres to feel the warmth of local culture in the melodious vocal styles, touch the pulse of the times in moving stories, and find spiritual resonance in diverse arts.

On the evening of July 30, the three-day trial performance of the newly compiled Hakka mountain opera Rainy Songkou concluded at the Liangsheng Hakka Art Center in Meizhou. In the packed theatre, the misty rain of the ancient town of Songkou seeped into the hearts of contemporary audiences. Overseas Chinese returnees heard the echoes of their ancestors boarding ships, while young people understood the profound weight of the word "righteousness." Two generations completed a dialogue that transcended time.

"Since ancient times, Songkou has not bowed to the prefecture." As the first stop for Hakka people heading to Southeast Asia, the story of Rainy Songkou is rooted in this land. Under the joint creation of a top‑tier creative team including director Li Jiansheng, stage designer Ji Qiao, and lighting designer Xing Xin, the opera adopts a unique circular narrative structure, breaking away from the conventional patterns of traditional Hakka opera. It reflects the changing tides of a great era through the fate of three generations of two families in Songkou. The focus is on ordinary people: scholars, rogues, wartime postmen, and Hakka mothers. Liang Wenyuan sells himself to save his neighbors out of scholarly loyalty; Li Nianen repays kindness at the cost of his life, embodying the spirit of the common folk; Li Dusheng grows from an orphan to a revolutionary; and the Liang family, across two generations, sacrifices everything for the nation. The opera moves from personal gratitude and loyalty to family heritage, and finally to national duty, achieving a layered spiritual elevation. "Light and Ferry" is the spiritual motif of the opera: the tangible ferry is at Songkou Wharf, while the intangible ferry lies in everyone's heart, symbolizing the spiritual journey of a nation upholding righteousness and seeking light through a century of upheaval – a journey for which countless people willingly serve as boats to carry others forward.

In this epic presentation of the Hakka spirit, FINE ART's series of professional lighting fixtures and lighting consoles worked in concert, using precise light and shadow to imbue the misty rain of Songkou with soul. The FINE 1400CF PERF pattern and framing moving head light, with its 140mm output lens and unique optical design for uniform light distribution, is equipped with a full framing system and 90° pattern orientation positioning. It sharply frames Liang Wenyuan's decisive act of selling himself to save his neighbors and the silhouette of the mountain song grandmother releasing lanterns on the river, turning every choice about "righteousness" into a sculpted moment in light and shadow. The FINE 1400CF WASH-PERF wash and framing moving head light delivers a luminous flux of 47,000 lm, with a color rendering index of Ra > 95 and R9 > 90, producing a soft and full light spot. With CMY infinite color mixing and CTO linear color temperature adjustment from 2700K to 6500K, it renders the misty rain of Songkou, the flickering river lanterns, and the desolate grandeur of wartime, elevating the "ferry" imagery from the concrete to the spiritual through the flow of light and color.

The FINE 550 BSW three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the thousands of sails of Hakka people heading to Southeast Asia and their unyielding spirit in troubled times. The FINE 400CL, with its 5‑color full‑spectrum optical design, continuously outputs white light with color temperatures from 2700K to 10,000K, with Ra and R9 both above 90. It features theatre‑grade 16‑bit high‑precision dimming, delicately illuminating the faces of the characters, revealing every tremor in the mountain song grandmother's suppressed sobs. The FINE 380 BEAM, a compact high‑efficiency beam light with a 17+1 fixed gobo wheel and two stackable prisms, cuts through the stage time and space with its full beam, parting the dust of history.

Behind the scenes, the TEKMAND III and TEKMAND D dual consoles coordinated the entire lighting schedule. The TEKMAND III handles 8,192 parameters, combining touchscreen and buttons, with a built‑in stage simulation module for offline pre‑programming, greatly saving rehearsal time. The TEKMAND D is smaller, portable, and lightweight, with an integrated design and multi‑point capacitive touchscreen for complex control. Paired with the TEKMAND DPU 16P expander, which provides 16 DMX output ports handling 16,384 parameters, the system effortlessly manages the complex lighting scheduling of the circular narrative structure with its interwoven multiple time and space layers, ensuring every beam of light lands precisely where the drama needs it.

As the misty rain of Songkou clears and the river lanterns merge into a galaxy of light, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the century‑old stories of righteousness and ferrying at the ancient town of Songkou, but also reflecting the spiritual backbone of the Hakka people, who, with their flesh and blood, perform acts of righteousness and serve as boats to carry others forward.

On July 12, the polished and upgraded version of the large‑scale modern Qin opera On the Banks of the Nanluo River, meticulously created by the Luonan County Troupe, was brilliantly staged at the Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre. As a key production for the 11th Shaanxi Provincial Art Festival and a 2025 Shaanxi Provincial Art Creation Grant project, the opera fully demonstrates the fruitful achievements of Shangluo's literary and artistic creation with its profound historical heritage, exquisite artistic presentation, and distinct regional characteristics.

Centered on the Luo family's century‑old tofu workshop as a spiritual vessel, the opera spans more than eighty years of changing times, chronicling the craftsmanship perseverance and spiritual legacy of three generations of the Luo family. During the War of Liberation, the tofu workshop served as an underground contact station; Luo's mother sacrificed her life to protect revolutionary comrades, and the young Luo Fulai, carrying her faith, joined the revolution. In the socialist construction period, Luo Fulai returned to his hometown to participate in the construction of the Luohui Canal, benefiting his neighbours through practical dedication. In the new era, the younger generation carries forward the tofu‑making skills, innovates industrial development models, and allows the spirit of simplicity, perseverance, and selfless dedication to continue along the banks of the Nanluo River from generation to generation. Rooted in the essence of Qin opera and grounded in real rural life, the production carries out systematic innovations in narrative structure, stylized presentation, and vocal music, vividly portraying the collective struggle of the people of Luonan who follow the Party, overcome difficulties, and build their homeland.

Multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART, with their outstanding light efficiency, painted the light and shadow backdrop for the eighty‑year chronicle of the times. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four‑in‑one framing light served as the workhorse. With 1500W high‑power output and a superior color rendering index (Ra and R9 both ≥ 95), it accurately reproduced the warm, smoky atmosphere of the tofu workshop and the desolate vastness of the Luohui Canal construction site. Even when the brightness is reduced to 20%, the color rendering index remains above Ra ≥ 90, with color temperature fluctuation within ±100K, ensuring that the characters' deep emotions in low‑light scenes are not disturbed by color shifts. Its patented cooling system, combined with intelligent electronic control, reduces dynamic noise to 33dB, preserving the theater's immersive atmosphere with extreme silence, so that every impassioned note of Qin opera reaches the audience's heart.

The FINE 4019 WASH PLUS high‑power LED moving head wash light delivers 30,000 lux at 6 meters at narrow angles, with a wide 4° to 60° zoom range to meet diverse lighting needs from solo arias to ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker‑free start‑up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of modern Qin opera. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its CMY, CTO, and independent flowing color wheel interweave, while the rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the intensity of battlefield flames and the spirited atmosphere of the canal construction, delivering a powerful visual impact. The FINE 608 BATTEN moving head bar light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four‑in‑one sources and a light output exceeding 6000 lm, features a 5° to 50° zoom range. At narrow angles, the beam is full and non‑crossing; at wide angles, color mixing is excellent, adding dynamic light accents to the transitions across three generations.

As the Qin opera drum and clappers resound through the theatre, and as the warmth of the tofu workshop and the spirit of struggle on the banks of the Nanluo River are etched into the audience's hearts through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the original aspirations of the three generations of the Luo family, but also reflecting the enduring power of heritage on this land. Where light and shadow reach, craftsmanship endures, and the soul of the homeland remains forever.

As the lights dimmed and the songs lingered, the original Shanxi folk opera Ode to Taihang concluded successfully at the Shanxi Grand Theatre on the evenings of June 28 and 29. This revival, upgraded with special funding from the Shanxi Art Fund, debuted a brand‑new version. Its gripping plot, powerful singing, and immersive stage presentation deeply moved the audience, offering a literary and artistic tribute to the revolutionary years and a heartfelt salute to the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

 

The opera traces the life of an ordinary village girl, Li Ziqing, telling her story of struggling through hardship, awakening amid the flames of war, and firmly holding onto her faith through trials. Scenes of delivering supplies to the front, rescuing the wounded, defending their homes, and answering the nation's call unfold layer by layer, vividly recreating the historical truth of the people of the Taihang region giving everything they had to support the front and the deep bond between the military and the civilians. The "Taihang flower," which runs throughout the opera, grows from cracks in cliffs and stands firm against wind and frost, symbolizing the unyielding spirit of the Taihang people who never give up even in desperate times and turn toward the sun. The music deeply integrates regional elements such as Shangdang flowering tunes and local Shanxi folk songs, accompanied by a live folk orchestra, giving the red story a distinctly Shanxi flavor and emotional resonance. This revival has been comprehensively optimized in terms of character emotional layers, singing details, plot rhythm, and lighting scheduling, with many new life‑like scenes added, allowing the weighty red history to shed its stiffness and gain warmth. The theatre was packed, and the applause was long‑lasting.

 

In this stirring red artistic feast, multiple high‑quality lighting fixtures and lighting consoles from FINE ART worked in concert, using precise light and shadow to color the Taihang spirit. The FINE 1750XL BSWF four‑in‑one framing light features a custom 1500W module with a maximum output of 40,000 lm. Its full framing system, rotatable ±90°, delivers sharp, distortion‑free cutting edges, precisely framing each dramatic focal point as the plot advances – Li Ziqing's gaze back at her home as she delivers supplies, and the trembling of her blood‑stained hands as she tends to the wounded – all are sharply delineated. The FINE 1400 PERF pattern and framing moving head light, equipped with a 1400W lamp and a 140mm output lens, delivers a total luminous flux exceeding 35,000 lm. Its unique optical design ensures uniform light distribution and allows frosting via focus adjustment without changing the beam size or luminous flux, precisely capturing Li Ziqing's every spiritual transformation from confusion to determination.

 

The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its CMY, CTO, and independent flowing color wheel interweave, while the rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the stirring scenes of supply convoys and heroic home defense, delivering a powerful visual impact to the stage. The FINE 75 FT color professional footlight, only 0.5 meters long, uses an R, G, B, L four‑color mixing system to produce white light with color temperatures from 2500K to 10,000K (Ra and R9 both above 90). Its asymmetric reflector with dual‑row independent light control provides soft, even illumination, highlighting the faces of the actors and revealing every trace of their sincerity and determination.

 

Behind the scenes, the TEKMAND III console and the TEKMAND DPU 16P distributed processing unit formed a powerful control system. The console features a combination of touchscreen and buttons for intuitive and efficient operation, capable of handling 8,192 parameters on its own. Its built‑in stage simulation module supports offline pre‑programming, greatly saving rehearsal time. The DPU 16P integrates signal distribution, amplification, data switching, and processing, adding 16,384 parameters when used with the lighting console, effortlessly managing the complex lighting scheduling of the opera.

 

As the Taihang flowers bloom across the stage, and as the folk melodies transcend time through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the epic patriotism of the Taihang people united in heart, but also reflecting the ever‑living spirit of the red flame that continues to burn brightly.

On June 25, the large-scale historical Qin opera Luo Gong Bian, produced by the Shangzhou District Cultural Troupe, successfully premiered at the Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre. The play is based on the true historical deeds of Luo Wensi, a magistrate of Shangzhou during the Qing Dynasty, and uses the passionate, stirring rhythms of Qin opera to tell a centuries-old tale of an upright official.

During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, a dangerous cliff-side path along the Danjiang River in Shangzhou made travel perilous for merchants and commoners alike. Luo Wensi, then the magistrate, showed deep concern for the people's plight. He used his own salary to fund the project, refused to impose levies or disturb the populace, and personally led the villagers in cutting through rock to widen the treacherous narrow path into a safe thoroughfare. He also installed stone railings and built rest platforms, completely solving the travel problem. The play goes beyond the story of building the Luo Gong Bian, fully portraying his ten-year tenure during which he built schools, promoted farming and sericulture, and repaired bridges over rivers. When he left office, he had not accumulated any personal wealth, but left behind safe roads and prosperous livelihoods for Shangzhou. In gratitude, the people named the road "Luo Gong Bian" and erected a stele in his memory, transforming the ancient path into a spiritual monument that transcends time.

After six months of meticulous refinement, the play retains the traditional artistic essence of Qin opera – singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatics – while subtly incorporating local cultural symbols such as the ancient Shangzhou road and intangible cultural heritage, allowing local audiences to instantly recognize familiar touches of home. During the performance, the dramatic plot combined with the stirring rhythms repeatedly ignited the audience, and the applause during the curtain call lasted for several minutes.

In this Qin opera epic of clean and upright officials, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART provided outstanding light efficiency, passionately supporting the unyielding spirit of Luo Wensi. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light integrates beam, wash, pattern, and framing functions. With 1500W high-power output and a superb color rendering index (Ra and R9 both ≥ 95), it accurately reproduces the understated elegance of Qing-dynasty official costumes and the rugged textures of the ancient Danjiang path. Its patented cooling system, combined with intelligent electronic control, reduces dynamic noise to 33dB, preserving the theater's immersive atmosphere with extreme silence, so that every impassioned note of Qin opera reaches the audience's heart.

The FINE 4019 WASH PLUS high-power LED moving head wash light features 19 high-power 40W four-in-one LEDs. Its new optical design balances uniform color mixing and soft effects. At narrow angles, it delivers 30,000 lux at 6 meters, with a wide 4° to 60° zoom range to meet diverse lighting needs from solo arias to ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of Qin opera. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three-in-one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight-facet prism, twenty-four-facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel work together to depict the awe-inspiring momentum of cutting through rock and the solemn dignity of courtroom judgments. The FINE 608 BATTEN moving head bar light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four-in-one sources and a light output exceeding 6000 lm, features a 5° to 50° zoom range. At narrow angles, the beam is full and non-crossing; at wide angles, color mixing is excellent. With 100 built-in color macros and 47 effect macros, it adds dynamic light accents to the time and space transitions of Qin opera.

As the Qin opera drum and clappers resound through the theater, and as the name "Luo Gong Bian" is etched into the audience's hearts through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the monumental feat of a clean official carving a road through rock for the people, but also reflecting the timeless spiritual power of diligence, compassion, and integrity that transcends past and present.
