According to Records of the Five Emperors (Shun), "In the twenty-ninth year of Emperor Jian, he went hunting in the south and collapsed in the wild of Cangwu." Historians agree that Shun Di died in Cangwu, Lingnan. Shun Di is the only emperor in China's 5,000-year history who has been to Guangxi. Quotient: "Virtue is self-harmony". "Historical Records" says: "Virtue in the world begins with the emperor". Yan Di culture with farming culture as its connotation, Huangdi culture with political power culture as its connotation and Shun Di culture with moral culture as its connotation are the three major milestones of China culture and the source of China ancient culture. Yu Di Temple in Wuzhou was the earliest Shun Temple built during Shun Di's southern tour. Shun Di's southern tour, when he arrived in Cangwu, brought Lingnan into the central territory for the first time, strengthened the connection between Lingnan and the Central Plains, and strengthened the communication between Cangwu Yue and Huaxia. Moreover, Shun Di's southern tour spread the Central Plains culture to ancient Cangwu and even the whole Lingnan area, which had a far-reaching impact on the economic and cultural development and prosperity of Lingnan, and promoted the social development and civilization progress of ancient Cangwu.

Shun Di culture, as a spiritual culture, has a history of more than 5,000 years. No matter how China's social system changes, no matter what nationality the rulers belong to, they all regard Shun Di as the ancestor of the same strain. Through the memory of Shun Di's sacrifice and Shun Di's moral culture, Shun Di culture can be passed down and carried forward. Historically, Shun Di culture has been the mainstream of the spiritual life of the Chinese nation. In the new century, it calls for the return of morality to become the common aspiration of all mankind, and culture has become an intangible resource and priceless capital that all countries in the world strive to develop.

Ma Xu, starring Pan Chuhua, a national first-class actor, is very famous in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Guangdong Opera Troupe (also known as Guangxi Cantonese Opera Troupe) has successfully performed in Hong Kong for many times, which shows the foundation and strength of Guangdong Opera culture in our city. City Song and the Dance Troupe and the tengxian Oriental Lion King jointly performed in France, which was also a successful attempt of brand co-construction. Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have successfully declared Cantonese Opera as a national intangible cultural heritage, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for us. While carrying forward its own advantages, the performing arts and culture of Cantonese opera in our city actively draws lessons from foreign advanced experience and explores how to form a unique genre. At the same time, it seeks greater development by changing "nurturing people" into "nurturing operas" and building performing arts bases. To build a brand of Wuzhou Cantonese Opera, besides "Female Ma Xu", we should also build a brand Cantonese Opera Troupe with the theme of Dragon Mother, and make use of the influence of Wuzhou Cantonese Opera in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
