- Contributor's Note
- On the afternoon of September 23rd, it was overcast. This was the most effortlessly accessed opera stage we encountered, requiring only a minimal entrance fee. Among those seen, this stage was also the best preserved. Its two front stone pillars bore inscriptions—one reading "The 20th Year of Zhiyuan in the Great Yuan Empire" and the other "The 1st Year of Zhizhi in the Great Yuan Empire"—legendarily carved by a father and son. After seven or eight centuries, they remain strikingly legible. Having witnessed so many wooden structures on this journey, weathered by time to the brink of collapse, these two pillars commanded an especially solemn reverence. Indeed, life and civilization prove fragile, yet stone does not decay. Thus, as the saying goes, "even if the seas run dry and the stones crumble," their endurance symbolizes eternity.
