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."

On September 17 local time, the 2026 Russia International Stage Lighting and Sound Equipment Exhibition (LIGHT+AUDIO TEC) successfully concluded at the Timiryazev Center in Moscow.

During the exhibition, FINE ART presented a matrix of stage technology products including FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures, TEKMAND intelligent consoles, and the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow-spot system, fully demonstrating the brand's heritage and technological accumulation, and showcasing a more complete and three-dimensional comprehensive brand strength to overseas customers.

The negotiation atmosphere continued to heat up, accumulating valuable resources for subsequent market expansion.

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.

Lights shine brilliantly, Lu opera melodies linger, the spirit of the ancients is passed down from generation to generation. On September 4, the newly created Lu opera Wu Jingzi, produced by the Hefei Lu Opera Theatre, was brilliantly staged at the Opera Hall of the Hefei Grand Theatre, bringing more than a thousand audience members a theatrical feast that combined the charm of Anhui, humanistic depth, and contemporary novelty. The entire performance integrated traditional Lu opera vocal styles, refined stage aesthetics, and a profound humanistic core, immersively recreating the tumultuous life of Anhui literary giant Wu Jingzi.

Unlike the performance mode of traditional opera, the newly created Lu opera Wu Jingzi takes "Half a life as a spendthrift, half a life as a true scholar" as its core thread, focusing on Wu Jingzi's life transformation after he took charge of the household at the age of 23 and his family fortunes declined. It delicately portrays his growth from a free-spirited worldly literatus, through the ups and downs of life and half a lifetime of wandering, to finally seeing through the ways of the world and putting pen to paper to create the timeless classic The Scholars. The rich, authentic Jianghuai vocal style is melodious and lingering, while the brand-new stage design and modern narrative techniques break the inherent limitations of traditional opera, allowing young audiences to easily understand the story of the sage and empathize with the spirit of the literati.

In this theatrical feast interwoven with Anhui charm and humanity, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART used precise light and shadow to paint a richly layered visual scroll for Wu Jingzi's tumultuous life. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light served as the mainstay. Its multifunctional design integrates beam, wash, gobo, and framing functions. With an effective range of up to 100 meters and outstanding light quality with Ra and R9 both greater than 95, it accurately reproduced the understated elegance of Qing dynasty costumes and the varied expressions of the scholars. A full framing system rotatable ±90° produces sharp, distortion-free cut edges. In Wu Jingzi's transformation from free-spirited indulgence to quiet introspection, it precisely framed every moment of fateful turning point, creating a sharp contrast between the flamboyance of the "spendthrift" and the integrity of the "true scholar" in crisp light and shadow. Its patented cooling system achieves noise below 45dB at full power, protecting the theatre with extreme silence and allowing every melodious note of Lu opera to reach the heart with clarity.

The FINE 1400 WASH PERF wash and framing moving head light is equipped with a 1400W lamp, a luminous flux of up to 47,000 lm, and color rendering indices of Ra > 95 and R9 > 90. Its unique optical design produces a soft, full light spot. Combined with the main and secondary reflector design and intelligent fan control, it renders Wu Jingzi's wandering years after his family's decline as both desolate and poetic. The misty rain of Jianghuai, the dimming lights of Qinhuai, and the solitary lamp shadow in his study all unfold slowly in its soft yet efficient light and color.

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 literati monologues to market crowd scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness perfectly match the rigorous lighting requirements of Lu opera, rendering the worldly manners of the scholars with remarkable vividness.

The FINE 6010 BATTEN IP all-weather moving head bar effect light features 10 x 60W RGBW four-in-one light sources, with a light output exceeding 6,000 lm. Within a zoom range of 3° to 45°, the beam is powerful at the narrowest angle and color mixing is excellent at wide angles. With agile light bars, it outlines a sense of rhythm in the flow of time and space on stage, just as Wu Jingzi's half-lifetime wandering footprints extend through light and shadow. The FINE 150FT color professional footlight uses an R, G, B, L four-color system to mix white light with color temperatures from 2500K to 10,000K, with Ra and R9 both above 90. Its asymmetric reflector with dual-row independent light control provides delicate, even coverage that illuminates the performers' faces, revealing every trace of compassion and open-mindedness after Wu Jingzi sees through the ways of the world. As the lingering resonance of Lu opera echoes under the opera house dome, FINE ART uses light as a brush, not only illuminating Wu Jingzi's spiritual transformation from a worldly literatus to a literary giant, but also reflecting the literati spirit of facing the ups and downs and holding fast to one's original heart in traditional Chinese culture.

It is reported that the production will be staged at the Shangyin Opera House on October 21, appearing on the main stage of the 25th Shanghai International Arts Festival. This performance in Shanghai will deepen the theatrical and cultural dialogue between Shanghai and Anhui, break down regional cultural barriers, and use theatre as a medium to showcase Hefei's profound theatrical heritage to the whole country and the world. It will inject a vivid Hefei accent into the coordinated cultural development of the Yangtze River Delta, allowing the new charm of Lu opera and the spirit of the people of Anhui to step out of Anhui and resonate across the country.

In a flourishing era, culture and education thrive; in a splendid hall, a new chapter is written. On August 30, Shanxi Technology and Business University celebrated its 40th anniversary. Over four decades, this institution rooted in the land of Shanxi has always upheld its original aspiration of nurturing talent, growing from humble beginnings to a garden of flourishing students, and from deep engagement in teaching to the flourishing of aesthetic education, steadily forging a distinctive path of high-quality development. Forty years of accumulation represent the steadfast dedication of countless builders working day and night, and the striving of generations of the university community passing the torch.

At this pivotal moment of inheriting the past and opening the future, the university's newly created campus cultural landmark, the "Business Hall," was officially unveiled and opened. Built to the standards of a national-level professional grand theatre, this cultural palace integrates cultural education, academic exploration, and the hosting of large-scale events, with multiple functions including opera and dance drama performances, symphony concerts, high-end conferences, and academic exchanges. As the core benchmark carrier of the university's "Ten Venues for Education" project, the completion of the Business Hall not only marks an upgrade in the university's hardware but also signifies a new step forward in aesthetic education and cultural nurturing.

Following the unveiling ceremony, an artistic performance commenced within this brand-new cultural palace. Nearly 300 FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures used precise light and shadow to inject radiant brilliance blending technology and art into this glorious chapter. The FINE 600 BSW three-in-one moving head lights, positioned on the overhead lighting bars, worked in concert with the FINE 1700ZLS BSWF, cutting through the hall with the sharp sensation of pure beams. Combined with rotating gobo wheels and fixed gobo wheels, they transformed powerful rhythms into visible, rhythmic light and shadow. The rich CMY + CTO + flowing color wheel, together with independent frost, prisms, and dynamic effect wheels, allowed the performance to switch freely between jubilation and tenderness, always guiding the audience's emotional rhythm.

The FINE 1700ZLS BSWF four-in-one framing light, with its custom 1500W module, burst forth with a powerful 40,000 lm of light energy. When the rising orchestra pit lifted the symphony orchestra and the solemn moment of Song of the New Era resounded, its built-in second-generation color standard, with pure, full colors and a wide gamut, rendered the magnificent atmosphere beneath the hall's dome to the utmost. A full framing system, rotatable ±90°, with sharp, distortion-free cut edges, precisely framed the lead dancer's posture during the impassioned section of the group dance Drum Sentiment, making the pulse of forty years of passing the torch a unmistakable visual focal point in crisp light and shadow.

The FINE 4019G WASH PLUS high-power LED moving head wash lights were distributed across the upper side light, lower side light, and overhead lighting bars. With multi-angle, all-around wash coverage, they created a light and color foundation of uniform mixing and soft effects for the stage. At narrow angles, they deliver 30,000 lux at 6 meters, with a wide 4° to 60° zoom range effortlessly meeting diverse lighting needs from solo dances to group dances. Their smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness perfectly matched the heartfelt narration of the recitation Tribute to the Builders and the warm tenderness of the song-and-dance Thank You, allowing every moment of emotion to flow quietly in even, soft light.

As the front light workhorse, the FINE 400GD LEKO high-color-temperature LED profile light, with its 5600K light quality and 400W high-CRI module, provided high-definition, high-fidelity facial lighting for the performers. The passion between the dancers' brows and the determination in the builders' eyes were rendered in minute detail under its delicate brush of light, making the coming-of-age stories of the young people of the university in the original dances Like a Play and Packing Happiness truly tangible and deeply moving.

In the depth of the stage, the FINE 400CLS7, serving as cyclorama and floor lights, was positioned at the bottom front of the stage and overhead. With its 7-color full-spectrum optical design, it constructed an evenly distributed curtain of light. It 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. From the magnificent opening of Song of the New Era to the impassioned finale of Setting Off Again, the cyclorama and floor lights, with their broad color temperature range and outstanding color mixing performance, allowed the spatial depth and contemporary spirit of the hall to unfold slowly in light and shadow.

On the evening of August 28, 2026, Uzbekistan held a grand ceremony at the New City Center Square in the capital, Tashkent, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of national independence. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Prime Minister Abdulla Nigmatovich Aripov, and numerous government officials attended the celebration. Thousands of citizens gathered together, and international top-tier artists such as British soprano Sarah Brightman, Italian tenor Alessandro Safina, and Spanish tenor José Carreras performed on the same stage with renowned Uzbek singers and dancers. The entire celebration integrated 3D projections, lighting effects, and robotic performances, culminating in a dynamic image formed by hundreds of drones in the night sky. Behind this nationwide visual spectacle, nearly 1,000 high-quality FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures illuminated the entire night sky over Tashkent.

The lighting design was created by the Dongyu Huaxing design team, primarily centered on the core theme of the celebration: "With a united homeland and a united people, we will build a new life, a new future!" The design sought to use the language of light and shadow to tell the story of Uzbekistan's 35-year independent journey and its contemporary spirit. With "Light of the East" as its soul and the blue, white, and green of the Uzbek national flag as its base tones, the design integrated the architectural aesthetics of Samarkand's blue domes, the intricate patterns of traditional textiles, and the radiant intermingling light of Silk Road civilizations. It divided light and shadow into three narrative layers: Solemn Tribute – using warm gold to outline the silhouettes of historical architecture; Joyous Celebration – using saturated vermilion, emerald green, and dynamic flowing light to echo the singing, dancing, and crowds in the square; and Future Hope – concluding with a gradient from pale pink to light blue, symbolizing the openness and vitality of the younger generation. This design not only carried national pride but also demonstrated the solemnity of a national ceremony and an international aesthetic vision.

Under the test of this national-level event, FINE ART fixtures delivered a perfect answer with outstanding technical strength. The FINE 1700Ultra BSWF four-in-one framing light deeply matched the design soul of "Light of the East." With an effective range of up to 100 meters and color rendering quality with Ra and R9 both reaching 95, it accurately restored the purity and solemnity of the celebration, providing the most delicate color support for a national ceremonial sense. Its full framing system, rotatable ±90°, controlled light freely, with sharp, distortion-free cut edges, making every beam cast into the night sky clean and sharp as if cut by a knife.

The FINE 600 BSW II three-in-one moving head light served as the lighting engine for the "Joyous Celebration" section. From the sharp penetration of beam mode to the clear imaging of gobo mode and the soft coverage of wash mode, switching between the three light qualities incurred almost no light loss. Its rich CMY + CTO + flowing color wheel injected saturated vermilion, emerald green, and dynamic flowing light into the singing and dancing in the square, visually echoing the intricate patterns of traditional Uzbek textiles and making national colors surge and flow with the rhythm.

The FINE 600LH BSWF IP, with its IP66 protection rating and die-cast aluminum housing, effortlessly handled Tashkent's day-night temperature differences and wind-blown sand, providing a reliable guarantee for long outdoor performances. Its built-in second-generation color standard ensured precise, full colors and outstanding consistency across every fixture, allowing the lighting team to devote more energy to artistic creation. Its lightweight and portable body design also provided strong support for rapid deployment and efficient setup during the celebration.

The FINE 6019 PIXIE IP uses 19 x 60W light sources and a 20:1 zoom optical system, freely switching from a sharp 3.2° beam to a wide 65° wash effect. Beam mode is powerful and pierces the night sky; wash mode offers uniform and soft color mixing, laying out layers of light and color like silk. In the emotional progression of the celebration, it precisely echoed the visual imagination of "Future Hope." The gradient light from pale pink to light blue, like the openness and vitality of the younger generation slowly blooming under Tashkent's night sky, wrote the future vision of Uzbekistan's 35-year independent journey with light, warm and vast.

At the front of the stage, the FINE 150FT color professional footlight used its R, G, B, L four-color system to mix white light with color temperatures from 2500K to 10000K, with Ra and R9 both above 90. Its dual-row independent light control design provided even, delicate facial light for the performers. The FINE 4000XF high-power xenon follow spot, with its 4000W xenon light source, Ra ≥ 96 high color rendering, and stable 6000K color temperature, precisely captured the figure of every important person in the celebration. With free adjustment of 360° horizontal and 60° vertical, it locked every solemn moment for the global live broadcast.

As the blue of Samarkand flows in the beams, and as ancient patterns of the Silk Road reappear in light and color, FINE ART, with nearly 1,000 fixtures, has written a letter of light and shadow from Eastern manufacturing under the night sky of Tashkent.
