New works inspired by Chinese legends at Chengdu art expo

Cultural and creative works inspired by Chinese myths, legends and ancient rock carvings offered visitors a unique audio and visual experience at an art exhibition held in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on Tuesday.

A girl wearing a costume designed by Ling Ran Studio, which featured an adorable image of a parrot and traditional Chinese opera elements, attracted a crowd of onlookers. She struck a pose that evoked memories of the famous Chinese opera The Drunken Concubine, which was based on the story of the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan, well known for her beauty and tragic fate during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
