Compared with your thriving and ever-changing entertainment industries, culture and entertainment on Xianzhou have developed rather slowly. Developments in culture always require the new to supersede and replace the old, but as each generation on Xianzhou is so long, it's difficult to change any aesthetic trends or styles.
Of course, this is just a crude interpretation. A more nuanced interpretation would be: Mainstream culture on the Xianzhou is rather classical, even retaining many original forms from antiquity. You'll definitely feel its unique charm as long as you visit the Sleepless Earl on a storytelling night. Somebody once told me after listening to a performance: "I can't help but cry after listening to that tune. It feels like I were listening in to echoes of antiquity!"
Mr. Xiyan and I are old friends, and he really loves discourse. One day, he acted on a whim and began collating all of these old songs for organizing. I took my chances too, and encouraged him not to quit. My daughter Mengming is young, and doesn't know about all this old culture. This book is extremely helpful for her.
If you're interested in these "Echoes of Antiquity," then come and let Mr. Xiyan teach you a thing or two!
