Folklore performances

In the Song Dynasty, with the development of economy and culture, fixed venues for the performing arts industry appeared in the bustling streets and alleys of the capital. Wazi Goulan was the earliest entertainment venue in China. It was also a regular place for people to perform and play during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. These performance venues attract hundreds to thousands of spectators every day. During the performance, the audience gathers to watch, but then disintegrates after the performance. "It is easy to gather and easy to disperse." This is the origin of the name "Wazi".

There are various folk performances in Hangzhou Songcheng Scenic Area.
