Six months ago, Kewen from Iran chose Shiyan as a new starting point for his career and became a foreign teacher at Hubei University of Automotive Technology. This year is Kewen's first Spring Festival in Shiyan, and he is looking forward to experiencing the traditional Chinese New Year here. On the recommendation of his colleague, Kewen went to the most beautiful ancient town in Shiyan - Shangjin Ancient Town. What unforgettable experiences will Kewen have during this visit?

Shangjin Ancient Town is located in Yunxi County, about two hours' drive from Shiyan City. It is one of the four best-preserved county-level ancient cities in China, with a history of nearly 1,800 years. As soon as he walked into the ancient city, Kewen was attracted by the architectural style here. The vicissitudes of blue bricks and black tiles seemed to tell the ancient history. Walking here, it was like being in a Chinese ink painting. However, when Kewen walked into the depths of the ancient city, he found more surprises. The gongs and drums create a lively atmosphere, and many artists wear folk costumes to show some New Year performances that he has never seen before. Seeing these traditional performances for the first time, Kewen was so excited that he decided to experience them on the spot. What kind of sparks will there be between Kewen from Iran and local folk artists in Shiyan?
