In order to make the culture of filial piety better inherited and carried forward, the 4th China Filial Piety Cultural Festival in 2018 achieved "cultural people" by holding a number of supporting sub-activities such as thanksgiving concerts.
The relevant person in charge of Hangzhou Lingyin Temple said that the thanksgiving concert is an innovation of the Lingyin Temple's theme activities to promote the Chinese filial piety culture, using the perspective of young people, skillfully combining popular music elements and the idea of "filial piety as greater" to make people feel the power of filial piety.
At the concert, singer and actor Li Yugang sang two works, "Lotus" and "Just Met You", which awakened the traditional feelings and national memory of the public with its unique oriental aesthetic method.

"No matter where you go, home and mom and dad will always be the harbor in your heart, just in the process of singing, I have countless gratitude and gratitude in my heart, today I specially bought a bouquet of flowers for my mother, and at the same time I want to give it to all the fathers and mothers in the world." 」 Li Yugang said that during his world tour, he found that filial piety comes first, the culture of filial piety belongs to all mankind, and the world's recognition of the culture of filial piety is the basis for its development. "As an artist, in the future, I will definitely pay more attention to the culture of filial piety, create more songs that promote the culture of filial piety, and promote the spread of the culture of filial piety through art."
Singer Zhu Zheqin brought "Ajanta Dora Sambodhi" to the audience. As early as 2002, Zhu Zheqin formed a fate with Hangzhou and composed and sang "Agandoro Three Bodhisattvas" for the re-completion of the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. Zhu Zheqin said that although the expression is different, every country has filial piety. "Filial piety is a virtue and humane care jointly advocated across borders and nationalities, and it is particularly important to re-advocate in the contemporary era when science and technology are rapidly changing and affecting us."
Finally, at the concert, Qi Yu performed the solo singing of "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" and sang "Olive Tree" with fans, singing the sound of filial piety with an ethereal voice.
The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is a Buddhist cultural classic. In recent years, Qi Yu has been focusing on promoting the music of the soul, releasing many Buddhist music albums, and is enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings and has participated in charity activities for a long time.
In Qi Yu's view, Buddhist culture and the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation have many similarities. "In the future, I will list the culture of filial piety as a theme for song creation and actively praise traditional Chinese culture." Qi Yu said.
In addition to the performances of well-known artists, the concert also staged the dance "Thousand Hands Guanyin" by the Zhejiang Disabled Persons' Federation Art Troupe, the chorus repertoire of the Yunlin Volunteer Art Troupe, and the Cixiao Foundation was officially launched at the concert.
It is understood that the 2018 Fourth China Cixiao Cultural Festival was hosted by China News Service and Zhejiang Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission, organized by Hangzhou Lingyin Temple and Zhejiang Branch of China News Service, co-organized by Zhejiang Chinese Culture College and Zhejiang Chinese Culture Overseas Communication Promotion Association, and supported by Chinese Culture College, China News Weekly, Wang Wang Zhongshi Media Group, Hangzhou Civilization Office, Hangzhou Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau, Hangzhou Yunlin Public Welfare Foundation, and Hangzhou Religious Research Association.
