Art and Culture｜The Rongjiang River runs through Jieyang, a historic city in eastern Guangdong, bearing witness to more than 2,000 years of change and vitality. Known not only for its long history, Jieyang is also widely recognized as a “Hometown of Martial Art”. As evening falls, dozens of teenagers at the Huang Chuanshan Martial Arts School near Jinxian Gate practice steady horse stances, while the forceful shouts of Nanzhi Quan echo through the centuries-old building. At the Academy square in the old town, the vigorous drumbeats of Yingge Dance resound, accompanied by dancers' powerful, rhythmic steps. Meanwhile, at the Sun Shuqiang Lion Dance and Martial Arts School, young performers seamlessly blend martial arts with green lion dance, leaping dynamically into the air.

榕江水穿城而过，见证着粤东古城揭阳两千多年的沧桑与活力。这里不仅是历史名城，更是声名远播的“武术之乡”。傍晚时分，进贤门旁黄传善武馆内，数十名青少年马步稳扎，南枝拳的呼喝声在百年老宅中回荡；古城学宫广场上，英歌舞的锣鼓震天动地，舞者步伐铿锵；孙淑强狮艺武术馆里，“青狮”少年腾空跃起，将武术与舞狮完美融合。
