A musical titled Nan Kong, or Southern Confucianism, will be staged in Beijing, with two performances on Sept 12 and 13 at the China National Opera House.
Composed by Lyu Liang, who is known for writing the music for the hit dance drama, The Painting Journey — The Legend of A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers, it tells the story of the descendants of Confucius who moved to southern China to spread his philosophy.
